JAKARTA - SF9's Rowoon and Park Eun Bin will be reunited in a Korean drama entitled The King's Affection. This drama tells the story of a woman who is willing to disguise herself as a man in order to lead the royal throne.

Yi Hwi (Park Eun Bin) wants to replace her twin brother who died. Yi Hwi herself was expelled from the kingdom because she was a woman. Yi Hwi meets Jung Ji Un (Rowoon), the teacher who will teach Yi Hwi.

Yi Hwi has feelings for Jung Ji Un but because she is in disguise, Yi Hwi hides those feelings. The unique story makes you curious about Yi Hwi's journey. Here are four reasons why The King's Affection is a must-see:

Unique Premise with Romance

A woman becomes king? A premise that is rarely presented in Korean drama storytelling. Park Eun Bin said this story does not exist in the real world. “So far our history has only had a male king, so a female king can only exist in the imagination. For me, this is a unique and rare role," said Park Eun Bin.

Combine Three Genres

Not only in terms of romance, The King's Affection inserts elements of action, politics, and humor. Given that this drama has a royal background, the audience can see the power struggle between members of the palace.

The Best Production Design

This drama presents a production design arrangement that will spoil the eyes of the audience. From the palace set to the village, director Song Hyun Wook tries to showcase the beautiful Korean architecture.

"Korea's historical architecture is indeed very beautiful, and we try to show it in this series," explained Song Hyun Wook.

Young Stars

Besides Rowoon and Park Eun Bin, The King's Affection has a line of young stars who are ready to steal the show. They are Nam Yoon Su, VICTON's Choi Byung Chan, Bae Yoon Kyung, and DIA's Jung Chaeyeon.

“They are all really great actors and actresses,” said director Song Hyun Wook. The first episode of the Korean drama The King's Affection will air on October 11, 2021, on KBS2 and Netflix television channels.
