let´s have a thread of favorite kings. If drama kings were playing cards, who would beat who. To me there is no higher rank thank the king in Faith. And in no drama has a king used his brain more.
Ooooh the king in Faith is definitely in the absolute best list! And it helped that he was played by an amazing actor!
I can’t play this game the way you prompted though, because like, the king in The Red Sleeve wasn’t an objectively great king, but I was fascinated by the acting and the characterization, and he is among the first that springs to my mind when talking about kings.
I like warrior kings, those who are tough and can shutup the ministers in their cabinet when they are spouting nonsense. Unfortunately most Joseon kings are shown very weak in sageuks. But Lee Joon’s character in Bloody Heart was a smart player. He pretended to be weak for a long while till he could play his game. I think he had the tendency to outsmart everyone but the dude kept crying for more than half the drama. Which is why I really liked Ji chang Wook in Queen Woo. His character Go Nammu was tough and feared all while being a capable king. Plus he was a warrior and knew how to dissolve dissent in his cabinet. Too bad the show was not on him, I would totally watch that if it were.

I don’t know if he would be a good player, but I liked the King in The Matchmakers.
