Captivating the King

It is an ongoing South Korean TV series. It stars Jo Jung suk, Shin Se kyung & Lee Shin young.  Written by Kim Seon deok & directed by Jo Nam guk. Only two episodes have been aired so far.

The series depicts the love story of Yi in , a miserable king who has no one around himthat he can trust. Kang Hee soo who tries to deceive himfor revenge but ends up falling in love with him.

The viewership is around 3% at present.

After his extremely successful series ’Hospital Playlist’ season 1 & 2, Jo jung suk tries his hand at a period drama. With a fresh pairing with Shin Se kyung.

Shin Se young had a good season 2 with ‘Arthdal Chronicles’ in 2023. ‘Run On’ in 2020-21, ‘Rookie Historian…’ 2019, ‘Black Knight : The man who guards me’ 2017 with ‘Bride of Habeak’. 2015 ‘A Girl who Sees Smells’. Looks like I haven’t missed any of her dramas recently.

Lee Shin young as Kim Myung ha is a nobleman, good at Archery & Swordsmanship. The actor rose to fame with the series ‘Crash landing on You’ 2019.

With the first episode full of twists & turns, I hope to see another remarkable period drama. With the good actors, hopes are high.
