The King: Eternal Monarch

Ohhh.. i am really enjoying this series... so beautiful..

The plot progresses slowly, so do not expect a lot thrill happening right away. Nonetheless, everything else is all perfectly balanced - the aesthetics, soundtracks, and of course actors! Lee Min Ho, as always, is unmatched. The drama has perfectly blended comedy, thriller, romance, and suspense of it all. So far, I have watched 8 episodes and the story is still unfolding itself. I believe the last 8 episodes will be packed with the gist of the overall plot.

Eun soon-Kim is fast becoming my favorite #KDrama writer. I loved watching the #Goblin series and decide to give this show a watch and it did not disappoint!! It's was engaging and so interesting to watch. I loved the entire cast but especially Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun. Brilliant on screen magic between the two, and I loved how fiesty the Lieutenant is!! Wonderful to see strong women roles on screen. It's a touching love story and it's supported ably by a very interesting plot. Beautiful production and soundtrack. Very memorable. It's a must see.

Ok, the first 3 episode, I was kind of disappointed. I thought there's a lot a slow motion and a bit too slow, I almost fall asleep watching it. But after watching the 4the episode, I'm hook. I can't wait to watch the next one. I am excited about it and I can't wait to see more of Lee min Ho and see where the story go!

Mind-blowing plot, superb acting, stunning visuals, heart-tugging soundtrack - this drama has it all and more. Lee Min Ho's depiction of a handsome, elegant, benevolent and scientific king is perfect, as is Kim Go Eun as a dedicated, no-nonsense, taekwondo-master detective who decided to be brave because not everyone can be. I love how their relationship and chemistry developed from her initially thinking he was a crazy deluded weirdo to that heart-stopping moment when she found out he was not. The drama gets better the more it is watched. It is filled with delightful nuggets, the humor of which I missed on my first viewing, such as when she told him to "park your horse on the side road to the right" or when she carelessly tossed away his watch after he told her to take good care of it or when she sneakily took his DNA sample while he was explaining the parallel universe theory or when she told him his eyes look like those of a criminal and he stopped his explanation about quantum mechanics to say, "I don't know about other things, but I know my eyes are charming. I was born with deep-set eyes." Ha ha ha, an honest king, too!
