I Am a King

7.5 2012

Same main plot idea about a King and Poor commoner switching places
Gwanghae after becoming the king, the movie tells the story of king Gwanghae life, I hope that the drama will be able to reflect to the viewers the same personalitey of King Gwanghae during his tenure (as crown prince), no fear of success as long as Cha Seung Won plays the role of Gwanghae!
