King2Hearts Episodes 13-14

I really like the rhythm the show has going.  Wednesdays are the lull that provides character development and moves the characters around to where they need to be when the storm hits on Thursdays.  Then Thursdays are punch, punch, punch.  Basically Wednesdays lull you into a false sense of security so that Thursdays can traumatize you  leave you trying to catch your breath for the next week.

King2Hearts: Oh My God You Thought The Dissertation Was Long Post

King 2 Hearts why can’t I quit you? There’s only two weeks left and you’ll be over.  What will I obsess over when you are gone?

So I was watching Game of Thrones. During the scene where Margaery Tyrell was navigating the logistics of trying to get pregnant when your husband the king is gay (and I guess turkey basters don’t exist)  I had a lightbulb moment. That’s the job of a queen, to have an heir. That encapsulates it.

Yeah, so now you’re saying “Well, duh, Captain Obvious”.

And then I started thinking about King2Hearts.  As one does.  Or at least I do.  All the time.

The King2Hearts and the Monomyth

So, last time I talked about archetypes a little bit.  I have a feeling this is going to turn into a series, because the more I think about it, the more this show fits the whole Joseph Campbell Hero's Journey Monomyth.  


I'll explain what I mean after the jump and try not to make it too pedantic.  Spoilers through episode 10. 

My King 2 Hearts Dissertation

Seriously, this post is so freaking long. I'm warning you now.  I've had a chance to think about episodes 9 and 10 and I'm having a lot of...feelings.

Please tell me that we’ve reached the Black moment.  Cos I don’t know if I can handle much darker than this.  Buckle up because this post is so freaking long I wish I could get college credit for it.

The King 2 Hearts

So I've finished episodes 7 and 8 and boy, what a wild ride.  I think I have whiplash. I can't remember the last time I cried so much over a drama.
