I will attack with the K of spades.
I think other leads are also reasonable.

Nor would it surprise me if partner expected more stuff from me; but this is a lead question, so SK.
Hopefully we can beat them with the working 7-count NFB which I placed in game after pard's simple raise.

Here's the full hand, my ♠K lead was a disaster.

Meaning that they made an overtrick instead of making on the nose? I don't think the decision to lead the king of spades was even in the running for worst decision at the table that hand.

I couldn't agree more, the lead however got the blame.

I would suggest asking your partner why he/she doubled. Btw, I would have led a club, but the K of S lead is certainly reasonable.
