The King Loves, a MBC historical drama that is also known as The King In Love, will be back with episodes 21 and 22 next Monday, August 21, at 10pm KST. These episodes will probably focus on the rivalry between Wang Won and King Chungnyeol.

The Crown Prince was forced to use his powers against the King. He has no plans to claim the throne, but he wants to protect his friends at any cost. So he could do anything to stop his father from harming Wang Rin and Eun San.

In order to stop his father from harming the female lead and the bodyguard, the crown prince might team up with Princess Wonseong and use highly trained fighters against the palace guards. Although he may succeed in his first move, the male protagonist might face some unexpected challenges in the upcoming episodes.
