nina_mitrokhina Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 An Honest Review Of 'The King: Eternal Monarch' Some people want a light and enjoyable escape from the real world—and this show definitely is not it... by JACINDA A. LOPEZ | Jun 22, 2020 What My Friend Thinks: "In the beginning, I was skeptical about the drama because I wasn't a fan of the fantasy genre when it comes to my K-dramas. But with each episode having unexpected twists and turns, I found myself getting hooked more and more. Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Gun did good jobs but Woo Do Hwan playing both the stoic Young and the playful Eun Seob was definitely my favorite. I find myself crushing on Jung Eun Chae too! I'm sad I didn't get to see a royal wedding (I was really looking forward to it), but Gon crossing universes just to find Tae Eul again is good enough for me." —Rap What I Think: I came into watching The King: Eternal Monarch being a fan of neither Lee Min Ho nor Kim Go Eun, and I think that really worked in my favor in appreciating the drama without expecting too much. I grew up reading fantasy novels so the genre has a special place in my heart, but I never opened myself up to watching fantasy K-dramas until The King. Watching the first episode kept me at the edge of my seat and I was utterly blown away by the gripping storyline and the ace cinematography, but what I wasn't so sure of was the two leads. I knew they were accomplished actors in their own right, but something seemed to be off about the way their characters' arcs came together. Was it the lack of chemistry between the actors? Or the way their characters were written? I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was bugging me. But unlike a lot of other people I know who dropped the drama after a few eps, I wanted to trudge on and give them a chance. And I am so, so glad I did! What made no sense in the first half of the drama was explained in the second half—and this doesn't just apply to the two leads but also goes for small yet significant details scattered all throughout the drama. It was like a huge puzzle that I needed to solve with me theorizing and dissecting each episode. I understand why this drama isn't for everyone. Some people want a light and enjoyable escape from the real world—and this show definitely is not it. It wasn't like your regular 'ol rom-com drama that followed "the formula" where you could easily predict what happens next. No. The King kept me guessing until the very last episode. And I absolutely LOVED the experience. For sure The King had its flaws: the overkill in sponsored products (I found them endearing at first but eventually rolled my eyes at every appearance of those damned LED face masks!) and the plot holes and rushed story arcs (which I have to attribute to the story being limited by the 16-episode format—The King needed MORE episodes!). But, for me, I can overlook these because the drama was smart and ambitious. It's commendable that screenwriter Kim Eun Sook aspired to attract a wider audience by choosing to veer away from tried and tested drama tropes. When I finished the drama, I found myself becoming a fan of the lead actors: Lee Min Ho, who finally broke from his pretty boy acting and matured into an intelligent actor with gravitas; and Kim Go Eun, who could play any role in the world and make it her own! But just like most The King fans, it was a joy to watch Woo Do Hwan shine brighter than anyone in the drama. Him playing the two polarizing roles of Jo Young and Eun Seob was like watching two totally different actors on screen. He just has this special charm and charisma and warmth and, god, does he deserve to be the leading man in his next drama! Who I'd Recommend It To: Fans of fantasy and sci-fi! Fans of Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun—you must not miss this! People who want a break from the regular K-drama formula. Those who want to use their ~minds~ while watching the drama.Everyone who hasn't seen Woo Do Hwan on screen. https://www.cosmo.ph/entertainment/honest-review-the-king-eternal-monarch-a483-20200622-lfrm 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syntyche Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Thanks for the poll, @CarolynH and @Lmangla! The King's cinematography is really impressive. It's on par with high-budget Hollywood films. Remember this scene at the salt farm? The houses and mountains having some semblance with the hands of a clock is a brilliant interpretation of the passing of time. To go even deeper, the reflection seem to signify the passing of time between the parallel worlds. Of course, it's a joy to see clingy Maximus! I wonder if he still misses LMH 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolynH Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I voted for the set-up especially the opening scene. It's the type of beginning I enjoy; grabs you right from the start with the murder of the King. As for side characters, I voted for Maximus of course, part of one of my ships and Lee Lim. I really thought that actor was very good in the part. ******** Are we ready for episodes 3 and 4? 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most favorite scene on eps 3 for me was the poem reading on the ending. Lady Nohs voice, the content of the poems, the cinematography in front of jte house and in bamboo forest were all amazing. eps 4, i have many. 1. definitely the one when we got a flashback of jte and Gon talking in the forest. Nice script there. 2. Library scene where Gon and jte at the same place but different world with Maze as a backsound 3. time stops in the kingdom 4. I love ksj lol so i like the scene where he let the police took his mother after gambling 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
