On the episode of MBC TV drama "The King 2 Hearts" aired on the 21st, South Korean prince Lee Jae-ha (Lee Seung-gi) who had a Worldwide Officer Contest coming up and North Korea female sergeant Kim Hang-ah (Ha Ji-won) met in a atmosphere of tension.

Based under the setting of a constitutional monarchy, Jae-ha has lived his life as a playboy but he is pushed into the competition under his brother Lee Jae-kang's (Lee Sung-min) orders. On the other hand, Hang-ah who always wins in North Korean K-1 matches with men and is rejected by her date partners every time, takes part in the Worldwide Officer Competion under the political party's promise that they will make sure she gets married if she stand in top 3. This is where the two meet.

However, there was conflict in the meeting of two characters with different thoughts and as much as the North and the South have lived apart for 60 years or so, it wasn't going to be easy to cover up the misunderstandings and ignorance during that time. Hang-ah, a North Korean Special Forces sergeant thundered at arrogant Jae-ha "I have been teaching all this time, to kill the enemy Lee Jae-ha" and showed that it might seem peaceful on the outside but the tension between the North and the South was like walking on a sheet of ice.

The opposite ways shown by the characters that might seem hard to come by added to the tension of the drama. The way Kim Hang-ah who wants to get married could change her charming face into that of a deadly North Korea Forces female sergeant who is proficient in techniques that could kill someone right away and Jae-ha who claims his ideal type is a simple minded but glamorous woman and still says "The royal family is the manikin to the people and all we have to do is draw fantasy in their minds". Ha Ji-won and Lee Seung-gi so slyly went back and forth opposite ends to increase density and tension in the drama.

"The King 2 Hearts" draws the attraction Kim Hang-ah and Lee Jae-ha feel for each other at the Worldwide Officers Competition. Kim Bong-goo (Yoon Je-moon) appears as the chairman of the multinational military complex holding company CLUB M, who interferes with their relationship and adds difficulties.
