The King : Eternal Monarch (2020)

Could have been best drama but not that good

An amazing story, Just lost its way. (i mean it became bad).
Negative character can be shown more amazing, it was shown amazing in the beginning and showily dropping it off and I feel because of too much love it lost its original beauty.

Worth to watch, I say NO but few scene you can.

Cinematography is good
editing is not bad,
flow of drama from episode to episode not good (very few episodes you will like it) and in few episodes they will confuse you
People who like Suspense Drama’s would love this drama but they will get disappointment by the mid of drama.

More then Lee Min Ho, Woo Do-Hwan acting is amazing.

The show lives up to its expectation and hype which it was surrounded from beginning . Every single dialogue and cinematography is amazing, the colour coordination of every single scene is magical. Honestly speaking, I love the pair of Kim Go-eun and Lee Min-ho. They have a lot of chemistry, the way Min-ho looks at her every time she is around, they way he doesn’t want to let her go. From the start of the show, the simple hug had so much emotions attached to it.
Kim Go-eun’s reaction in the series is very realistic, you cannot expect her not to be taken aback when someone talks about being a king and a parallel universe. It is very normal reaction, she would doubt him. She is simply amazing! Minho is superb in every scene, obviously he is the absolute treat to the eyes, but also he amplifies the whole scene with his royalty and cute cheekiness. This character of his reminds me a lot of his character in Boys Over Flowers, both the characters are lovable in their own way. Woo Dohwan is just simply ADORABLE! his simple smile can say so much, or just his one tilt of his head can talk about how irritated he is with the king. There are many stories of each character woven under one umbrella but you need it, because each character has so much depth to them. They all are connected to one another, the story is building it’s momentum and I think it’s going to FANTASTIC! Already 6 episodes down and I have no complain, it superb! Once again, I believe they have lived to it’s expectations, and the show is regal and is the definition of elegance.

On YouTube i watched a few korean channels review this drama and they said that the FL was annoying at the beginning because she refused to acknowledge the parallel world. However, i found that when watching the drama, the majority of the Korean reviews were very unfair because the acting for me was on point. She was't hateful but she acted appropriately to the possibility of another world, aka not being stupid and bi**hy but not falling for the idea at first glance either. Also, they complained about the romance and how it wasn't enough or it jumped to fast when it got to ep 8 or 9 but i think that it was just enough. It's not sickening with love but you can see how she changes and develops feelings for him through how she looks and talks and acts around him once she experiences his world. You don't need to make it stupidly obvious that she slowly falls for him and that's why i think that this drama is actually better than what people initially said.

also i just want to add that the product placement. for me, wasn't too noticeable, well if i didnt watch the videos on youtube i probably wouldn't have even noticed, especially because im not looking for it, if that makes sense.

I wasn't going to write a review until i had completed this drama, but i couldn't help it.
In this trying times when we have to face a pandemic, if i can get to see beautiful stuff like this one all the time, i dont think I'll ever get bored. Well, here's my honest review.

Wow! I'm speechless. This is close to perfection, i mean the story is yet to unfold, but i can already sense alot of suspense and unanswered questions in the plot which is a reason to want to know what will happen next. And the casting? Super perfect!! Everyone fits perfectly into their role so much that you will feel its realness.
This is the kind of drama you'd wish to binge watch.

One of the best Fantasy K-Dramas: A Reassurance

This was my second ever kdrama; it pulled me into the world of dramas, and I've been hooked since then.
Do not listen to the mixed reviews; take it from someone who has seen a ton of fantasy dramas (around 45); this is one of the best.

This isn't a review of sorts; I don't remember the scenes well enough to do so.
But I recall the stellar acting and plot. You'll love it if you appreciate fantasy, romance, mystery, drama, and a sci-fi parallel worlds scenario. Give this drama some time; don't drop it after the first two episodes.

(I was obsessed after the first episode, but I know how different people can be; if you have any second thoughts, take my word and watch it.)

It's still good for me...

It's not the best one. Either it's not too good. That doesn't mean it's bad. It's still good. I don't like the story that much. But although the story is not good, the whole drama is beautiful. Songs, casts, effects..... all are beautiful.

Drama difícil pero no imposible

se me hizo muy difícil empezar este drama porque lee min ho se me hace un actor muy sobrevalorado en el que siempre representa los mismos papeles y su forma de gesticular es algo pobre en comparación con otros actores "top" con los que se compara pero me decidí a empezarlo como una prueba personal para mi objetividad.
El drama empieza bien, la idea me pareció muy atrapante y lo que mas me gusto es que no se deja al villano como jefe final y tiene participación en el 80% de los capítulos donde se puede apreciar su desarrollo y la motivación. También la actuación de los secundarios me pareció perfecta, en realidad la actuación de todos me pareció muy buena pero el guion me parece es el punto débil de este drama, siendo realmente objetivo lee min oh, quien era el actor que yo creí que iba a odiar, estuvo bien para el drama y su química con kim go eun me pareció hermosa.
los puntos más molestos para mi y por los cuales este drama no me pareció mejor fueron el guion, hay muchos adelantos de historia cuando termina el capitulo pero cuando arranca se devuelve todo y no todas las veces explican bien todo. Pero lo que mas me molesto es el "enamoramiento" porque si de kim go eun.... no es que odiaba a lee min ho pero de golpe como si fuera "magia" se enamora y acepta todo lo relacionado además de que fue todo de 0 a 100 en un segundo....
Creo que se pudieron desarrollar las cosas mucho mejor, mas que nada el inicio de la relación de los principales, se contaba con todos los recursos para poder costear el gigante proyecto que fue the king y si podes dejar pasar esos puntos negativos es un drama disfrutable pero si no podes dejar de notar estas cosas a medida que avanza, se siente como una incomodidad a medida que todo avanza.

Incrível

Nem acredito que já cheguei ao fim esse drama, foi muita emoção acompanhar toda essa história, foram trilhões de teorias pra sempre ao fim de um episódio eu perceber que estava muito errada?. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
A história é bem envolvente, me apaixonei por todos os personagens até o vilão ?.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
Né por nada não mas esse drama só provou ainda mais o potencial de atuação de cada uma ali.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
E do final o que falar?! Assim... eu passei uma semana inteirinha com MUITA expectativa e confesso que me decepcionei um pouquinho porque eu esperava bem mais, achei que seria mais BAM sei lá. Foi ruim? Não foi, mas a expectativa é a mãe da merda né ???.

THE BEST TIME TRAVEL/PARALLEL WORLD DRAMA I HAVE EVER WATCHED! AT LEAST FOR MY KDRAMA ASS!

I have never written a review before so ignore all the grammatical mistakes and typos you may come across. It's my first time writing a review and this masterpiece literally pushed me to write one! <3

Okay, i have come across many reviews and read them almost all were critical so yeah i don't mind. Every one has their opinion based on their taste and preferences alright? But many were almost negative and like giving a major NO NO vibes that honestly manipulated me to ditch this drama whenever i thought of starting it.
But,
Again as i have said earlier everyone has their own penchant so i made up my mind to give this piece of work a chance. An honest one as it's LMH we are talking about and he NEVER ditches me.
So i gave it a shot!
And AIGOOO I REGRET NOT WATCHING IT EARLIER. IT WAS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE AND A SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION!
The cinematography, acting, wadrobe, music, storyline, editing and almost every freakin thing was on point and so good!
I appreciate every single member who was involved in making this a put together drama. Really all the actors did a perfect work.
I don't want to give away anything as i want you to all who are hesitating to watch this and have a mindblowing journey as i had while watching this drama. A great journey indeed. The experience was really a bliss for me.
I accept that plot is kinda complicated but everything unfolds gradually explaining every thing in a really amazing manner. I loved every part and never skipped a scene. The chemistry was there, bromance was there, action was there, a marvellous plot was there, even beautiful music and humour was there! What more do we need?
Don't overthink and i'm telling yall to give this an honest try. It's really worth it!

I liked it

Loved the concept of two worlds. Love the cinematography. The scenery of horse riding in episode 1 & also the library scene transaction

Lee Gon is a king. He has a painful past. He is a genius in science & math, smart, cheerful, full of himself.

Jeong Tae-eul: A police officer. She is badass, brave, smart.

Like the scene where Lee Gon fulfills his duties, he didn't show anyone his sorrow until he is alone with the head court lady to cry his heart out. At a very young age, he showed his maturity.

Love Lee Gon & Jo Yeong dynamic relationship.

Jo Yeong & Jo Eun-Sup relationship. They are both opposites of each other. Jo Yeong is always serious, prudent, whereas Jo Eun-Sup is funny, joyous, friendly. Loved Woo Do Hwan acting of portraying two different characters.

Jeong Tae-Eul reaction after coming to Lee Gon's world.

It was funny seeing how Jo Yeong acted as Jo Eun-Sup.

Loved the scene where Lee Gon saved Jeong Tae-Eul.

beautiful drama

everything is well done in this drama, the acting, the plot, the music !
2 Korea, one kingdom, one republic, and a way to go from one to another world.
The story is very well built, when you re-watch it you see how thorough it is.
The OST is one of the best i know for a series, always a pleasure to hear.
The casting is great, the 6 main roles are absolutely perfect. The chemistry between the FL and ML is good, but also the Bromance between Lee Min-Ho and Woo Do Hwan, and the "more than friendship" relationship between Kim Kyung Nam and the FL. The prime minister is very well played as well.
