The King’s Affection (2025)

– Official Trailer | Netflix
Starring: Park Eun‑bin • Rowoon
“Names can be forged. Hearts cannot.”
Plot: Peace wavers when a long‑buried “Mirror Edict” resurfaces—an imperial record said to reveal the Crown’s true bloodline. As factions circle, the reigning sovereign (Park Eun‑bin) must hide the past that kept her alive and the love that keeps her human. Ji‑woon (Rowoon), now royal physician and secret confidant, hunts a cure for a courtly poison spreading like rumor. Trailer flashes: moonlit archery under lantern rain; a norigae charm used as a cipher; ink bleeding through a forbidden sutra; masked riders at the palace gate; a near‑kiss behind a silk screen before steel meets silk. The edict demands a public trial of identity—throne or truth, duty or destiny.
Verdict: Lush sageuk grandeur with pulse‑tight intrigue—sweeping score, razor politicking, and chemistry that glows like plum blossoms in snow. If the finale lands, hearts will break beautifully.
