The King: Youngwonui Gunjoo

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

I don't know why people are saying this started slow? There is a ton of action in the beginning. I think there is enough to set the stage for viewers to know a lot can/probably will happen in this series. They have done a great job building out the characters backstories and side stories along the way. This is my first kdrama and I love the cinematography and some of the transitions. There are some cultural things implied here...context about the history of Korea and some local cultural things (celebrities, food, etc) but even when I don't exactly get the joke or reference, I can still tell that it what is going on. So far this whole thing gives me a prince and me mixed with lion king vibe. Loving it!

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!

With Lee Minho since first noticing him in 2010 with Boys Over Flowers. Researching him got me into over 10 years of being SHINee fan but I didn't watch another drama of LMH. Then I recently watched TKEM. I couldn't stop watching and finished within 2 days. Who doesn't love a fairy tale...add a fantasy element and the perfect King plus bodyguard and it's magic. Now I'm watching every drama and movie the inimitable LMH has been casted and all are so great. He's so magnetic. Can't wait til Pachinko and more dramas with Hallyu King Lee Minho.

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.
