Ji Soo as Wang Jung, later Vice King Moonwon (14th prince)

Me:
This story is about palace, throne, greed, love, betrayal, all of most drama genre are in this drama. I like the plot of Moon Lovers.
Main cast no need to ask, they are fabulous lol, OST is the best OST from all 2016 drama. And also YG took part in this drama project. Although this ranked is below Moonlight Drawns by Clouds, this drama --Moon Lover-- stole viewer heart across the world (outside South Korea)
I think after I watched this drama, I see Ji Soo everywhere XDXD, the best portrays is Kang Ha Neul, I never doubt his acting hahaha. Baek Hyun's acting is good enough, but Hong Jong Hyun is better.
Why I placed this drama on 4th, because the ending is just too sad. Even in chinese version, they meet in the future, but this it not for this drama, but that's the best, if Wang So and Hae Soo meet again in the future it will be a bit awkward, so just let it ends as it is.

Me:
Hmm.... bodyguard drama always catch my eyes to watch. This drama (K2) got appraisal from the viewer. I love thriler, crime, action drama, and the K2 is one of my favourite.
The OST is pretty good, but the best OST is the various artist part. I never find best BGM like The K2 drama, I only like 2 last part of single OST.
Ji Chang Wook... no wonder he is such a thriller action specialist hahahaha, most of his drama are contain fighting, even at the 7th first kiss (lotte duty free).
For the heroine, I like Song Yoon Ah's acting than Im Yoon Ah's one,  I think her acting is worse not really good, but better in this drama, I don't like her acting. I'd better watched Im Yoon Ah singing than acting (sorry SNSD fans)
