I really tried to finish it but it just wasn’t it. Damn l can't wait, l'm so overwhelmed with excitment?...l mean l'm a big fan of writer Kim and her works!!.. Kimchi May 02 2020 9:12 am Good evening. Kelvin Tan May 23 2020 11:14 am JungTaeEulFan May 22 2020 10:21 pm But you know, sometimes sad endings are meant to be and it’s good to have a cry sometimes. Not sure how others compare but it’s encouraged me watch others. and (kge) character is too strong at gob*** so thats why its hard to relate her with lmh. So for you guys don't judge the casts before you know what will they give to you. For me, this drama received a score of 11 out of 10. Drama: The King: Eternal Monarch (English Title) / (Literal Title) Revised romanization: Deo King: Youngwonui Gunjoo Hangul: 더 킹: 영원의 군주 Director: Baek Sang Hoon Writer: Kim Eun Sook Network: SBS Episodes: 16 Air Date: Fri. & Sat. I have been kept on edge with this drama!! Love the characters and the chemistry between them as well is all excellent. It's uncomfortable for me to watch the child lee gon's acting, especially when in a sad scene, I don't think he understand the character's feeling of sadness, Lana Apr 18 2020 2:59 am OMG~~~~~ The cast is daebak.. dalin Aug 18 2019 5:26 am @sejin I think he's protecting his children because direct line of succession. The rating's speak for itself, barely hitting double digits. About the scar, what a bummer. I am always waiting for the new apisode release. I recommend you watch it – after Season 2 ends of course. I am a huge fan of Lee Min-Ho but even he is having a hard time saving this drama. my problem with this drama is not bad writing but bad writing with so much good production, acting etc. chicken Nov 29 2020 3:36 pm Ames Apr 25 2020 11:38 am esp when he's yielding that sword! OMG! kim go eun's character is initially presented as standoffish and tough. Mr. Sunshine: so-so. And just an opinion, I think i'd enjoy and appreciate The King more if it's written in a book. Lee min Ho so handsome. Enjoy watching everyone. I think compared to other dramas airing right now it’s pretty good but it definitely doesn’t live up to all the hype that it got Let's just see how the rest of the episodes unfold. In total, he killed 3 people the first time he travelled to ROK. Acting would be soooo Daebak!!! Vivian Apr 26 2020 9:09 pm gizibe May 22 2019 5:18 am Olga R May 03 2020 6:32 pm This seem like a good K-drama. The only thing good about this kdrama so far (after two episodes) are the actors, but even they can't pull of this terrible script. The story and character development, Iohn Apr 26 2020 1:51 am The one who was talking to Song Jeong-Hye saying something about the King? Episode 10 ended very sadly. This will be the best drama at the start of 2020 - can't wait. TWTM was end . Jojo Apr 19 2020 12:11 pm But it’s too much, too many characters and storylines. You need to bring your “thinking cap” to get all the twists and turns of every scene of every episode because they are all related. Read at your own peril. Andre Jun 04 2020 3:46 am But i think, its not the cast fault. Definitely worth watching! They are dating in real life though! That would have been a better ending, after all the romance was boring as there was no chemistry. Incomprehensible. You cannot expect for writers to always create romanticist leading men who will give you mushy love stories. ( Log Out /  The female lead is a spectacular actress, but she’s unemotional throughout and because lee min ho’s character is reserved, it just doesn’t balance each other out. Maybe Lee Min Ho will get another Kim Eun Sook drama with Park Shin Hye, and maybe it will be of quality content. Maybe not phenomenally, but I could easily remember Jeong Tae Eul as a good character. She has just finished movie shooting 'Long Live the King' with Kim Rae-Won. DreamAddyRose Jun 13 2020 5:44 pm Next week the rating will be increased. "So I’m guessing that Kim Go Eun will never be recognized in his country as the love of his life let alone Queen? There were so many characters and plot lines mixed in with some iffy rules as to how the worlds worked. This drama would be a lot more better if they actually showed action instead of saying it. Luv romance Jun 15 2020 6:05 pm Ep 9 and the plot is still unknown. Some people were upset that parts didn't make sense, but that is to keep you coming back for the Next episode. The drama is worth to be watched. What was with the telephone booth? They really left us hanging with that! She looks the same to me. I Really love this drama!! I love all the cast, I like the plot and everything, I know its parallel world but what I dont understand is that if the Republic of Korea does not know about the Kingdom of Corea , then how can other countries know and establish cooperation / allies? Madz May 25 2020 11:49 pm I think I just confirmed that Kim Eun-suk dramas are not my thing. So many great actors in this series! Good drama. Hehehe. I've been watching kdramas for a few years now and I have never been this excited or invested in a drama before. I have to say though, I am a little disappointed about Kim Go-Eun being the main female lead tbh. I had to repeat those episodes few times in order for me to understand where the flow of the story is going. Koreans should be proud that they have talented people who can bring out an awesome project like this one. I do like him but i feel like he is not suited for these type of role... Kendra Hosea Apr 26 2020 10:32 am FakeLove May 19 2019 9:34 am His citizens regard him as the perfect leader. Ron Jun 13 2020 9:28 pm If you are a deep thinker and like to solve a good mystery then this is right up your alley. <3, liv May 14 2020 10:01 am I love the drama.The storyline is intriguing and the actors pull off their characters well.And the plot twists are gonna unfold in the upcoming episodes. Khaterine Jul 25 2020 3:26 pm Two thumbs up!!! My favs Kim Kim!!! Love line is a huge stretch in here. My take ... yoyo boy is the spirit of the Manoasikjeok. Lastly, it's Lee Min Ho... he has great series so far with very good rates. Please cast Han Hyo Joo or Seo Hyun Jin or Kim Go Eun or Woo Jin A, Dwi May 08 2019 3:18 am For me, I recommend to watch TKEM. Let the story unfold according to how the writer wants it to be. I must say these dramas are the best. Because Kim Eun Sook's writing has evolved tremendously and is on a whole other level now. She is good as a police lady and a criminal but lacks warmth in her relationships with the rest of the cast . Just finished watching this. Her acting skill is really awesome and flawless. Like you, I still enjoyed it despite that though. Kang Ki Doong in Jail reminds me of Prison Playbook hahha, Carol Jun 13 2020 2:37 am I wish they would focus on the mystery of the wicked uncle and his army, what lee gon is going to do to stop his uncle, and how luna time travelled? The king eternal episode 1 is the introduction of the origin of the magical flute, kingdom of Corea, and the main villain and LMH. Furthermore, I do really want to know how Tae Eul and Lee Gon had fallen in love with each other. Worst of all, at the time it was airing The World Of The Married had me by the throat so I had no room for anything else. such a pity this drama not directing by lee eung bok pdnim and not taken by tvn, it will be more amazing if they take. Is it just me but I want Lee Lim to kill more people. I love this drama and lee min ho. le May 27 2019 11:37 pm hide. W4GRB.average_rating[1]=86; jcdh Jun 01 2020 1:04 am this drama deserves more awards and let's be honest, Kim Go Eun and Woo Do Hwan deserve more recognitions for their outstanding dualities played the opposite roles. They must be perfect couples! it really hurts indeed. For those who not yet watch this drama, please watch it carefully from the beginning and you will understand whole story. It definitely has some of those time travel issues though, hehe I actually saw Terminator 2 first when I was quite young, completely unaware it was a sequel. They went back the day Shinjae was supposed to be on an accident then they go back to 2020 and he’s already a CEO. People just need to be more patient. I wait for this drama every week. ( Log Out /  So how come he's still alive in the present timeline? How in the world can he save his past self? The drama may pace a bit slowly at first but it’s progressing faster in newer episodes. I'm not LMH's fan but now I think I am :). That Drama took me by a storm - what a great drama- historical story that had a beautiful, sweet yet sad vibes- altogether blended so well. Loved the drama! i love how this show has a different vibe like he is riding a horse in modern society. This show is a good one and probably one of the most interesting dramas I have ever watched. KingFan Apr 23 2020 7:49 am I hope that this story has a happy ending since the king started with such trauma in his life.... can’t to see next weeks episodes !!!! Rinana Jun 05 2020 4:04 am Look at kim go eun @0:28 she looks so different here omg!! Fighting.... NicoleCG Apr 25 2020 12:32 pm I love this show but it’s kinda hilarious that the fantasy world looks really photoshopped. i think JTE say " i love u" its not so rushed. Korean Drama. Sara Apr 25 2020 8:02 pm I definitely felt like this was a fairy tale brought to life but unlike the Disney fairy tales, did not have the usual happy ending. Best Korean show I’ve seen! Rusty May 12 2020 7:07 am We’ve reached the end of historical drama “The King Loves,” and it’s been quite a ride. To be honest i watched this drama because of Kim GoEun, she became my fave actress eversince cheese in the trap because her emotions are so natural. Just watch it. IE she's cutting out the exposition. Ummi Jun 04 2019 12:43 am The entire cast is drop dead gorgeous which doesn’t hurt. Ricafei Jun 03 2020 5:16 am The story was for sure a little bit slow but it is worth it! Episode 2 was no better. Min gon Jul 10 2020 8:38 am He has a very bright future ahead. Will it be pre-produced like Descendants of the Sun, and air in 2020, or will it be broadcast soon after episodes are filmed? From the director and writer of The Heirs, Descendants of the Sun and Gobln, this will be a hell of a blockbuster Kdrama! :((. The same theory as the villain. Great for covid 19 isolation. 1) Cinematography is great and def deserves an award—from lighting, composition, the scenes. hellogirlz Jun 08 2020 11:59 am @Jaao, Prime Minister breaksdown because at previous episode she had give her mom secret code. When evaluating characters in this kdrama, although I am a fan of Lee Min Ho, I personally liked Woo Do Hwan’s acting in this kdrama more. I would have preferred for Tae-Eul to be killed then he goes to another timeline and they fall in love with each other again. one thing that make me disappointed. If you do don't like the drama just drop it... Jiwon Apr 19 2020 12:47 pm It didnt work. The latest drama from hit writer Kim Eun Sook is The King: Eternal Monarch. 1. show and don't tell. I think I need to re-watch once the drama finishes because the complicated storyline will finally make sense. The show is finally starting to get interesting. The actors, director, writer, and all that worked in this drama did a really great job in my view. It was just all mmm. Corea and Korea are not in the same universe. I don't understand the negativity around him though, he might not be the greatest yeah but he is surely one of the best. because from the first two episodes all of the supporting cast actings and the story itself haven’t blend one another. I'm giving this kdrama a big 8! Minmi Apr 12 2020 5:56 am And stop saying that is confusing. We always remember that kim go eun reach the top when making drama and i expect this but as i watch this, its likely a mystery drama but the romance between the two? Wow so excited for this drama..Lee min ho oppa saaranghe..welcome back the story is interesting.gosh he is back again..seohun Snsd female lead plz, © AsianWiki.com. The dark side of this story is what really pulls me. But, I gotta give thumbs up to the writer that she can weave them into the storyline. Sia May 12 2019 5:48 pm Don't skip any scene and watch every scene carefully. His people see him as a perfect monarch with a graceful appearance, an elegant figure, and a quiet personality. Want to see them as a lead actor. I like her riddles in the plot, good dialogs, humor, and fighting scenes. This duo has to face some epic challenges in their relationship. She hasn’t expressed ANY believable feelings for him. Ok let’s talk from a Korean movie watcher, slow to like I worried about fast forwarding because I kept thinking it had to speed up at some point, goblin was not done with any thought about let’s just make a good movie and forget about pace,same as this one,same writer same pace..not a rewatch that’s for sure. To the ones watching, I'm watching with you. Fortunately/unfortunately Kay, I haven’t seen – or just don’t remember watching – Terminator. Ozonoella May 22 2020 9:09 pm The problem is maybe from editing. Jean May 10 2020 2:51 am Great acting and intriguing story so far! The female lead appears to save the young Lee gon from his uncle. Anyways. Same stoic LMH face, anyway what else to expect from him? But when Lee Gon puts it in Lee Lim's hand then the portal appears. – I can’t seem to remember an example of this. The young Lee Gon holds onto a police badge he grabbed from the mysterious figure. The writer and the director created hit dramas and both the actor and actress starred in hit dramas so you can see that this is basically like the Avengers but drama version. Travel between parallel worlds is a common theme in k-dramas—whether the action shifts from a … lol It’s a lot more violent than I like, but it’s definitely a classic. Muggle Apr 26 2020 10:51 pm Also, I believe another female lead also would have been a better choice because it feels like they are trying to recreate a Goblin-type success by casting the lead actress which I think was a mistake. For me it went south somewhere in there. Eka May 08 2019 7:50 am I don’t blame the actors. Kim Go Eun for the female lead!! And should I say the ost just hit different when the king came to save tae eul. So is everyone else’s acting. I can see why He loves her, but I don't understand how she suddenly starts loving him back after being so disrespectful to him and only after finding out He is a Kind...there is not build up on the emotions. Gosh. Manusia biasa Jun 06 2020 5:37 am So, if you are unsure to watch it or not due to the ratings, I suggest that you give this drama a try. It makes me sad to see that years of history were destroyed and Korea had been split into two. Why? Something different. The first few episodes of the drama didn't really piqued my interest. Hey, Just watch ep7, most of the things that confused us will clear in that ep. I enjoyed this drama that i finished it in 2 days. Megastar Lee Min-ho traverses two realities in this fantasy romance from beloved K-drama writer Kim Eun-sook. Elli Aug 27 2020 10:48 pm idk why the ratings r so low but it’s actually very intriguing.
