Korean television has a knack for doing more with less, and The King's Affection is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, and in the US on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.
Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — The King's Affection earns every emotional beat it goes for. When the crown prince is killed, his twin sister assumes the throne while trying to keep her identity and affection for her first love a royal secret. Park Eun-bin and Rowoon lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2021.
If you're looking for television that takes its characters seriously and rewards patient viewing, The King's Affection is exactly that. One of the more rewarding dramas of its era.
