Ji Chang Wook as Woo Do Hwan, these are 5 dashing bodyguards from Korean dramas

 

 

There are many Korean dramas about the profession of a bodyguard. Especially if the genre is an action movie with a criminal or political overtones.

 

In addition to its gripping story, the drama that tells the story of a bodyguard also mis-focuses on the actors and actresses playing the characters.

 

Like five badass bodyguards downstairs. Is there your favorite?

 

2. Woo Do Hwan - King: Eternal Monarch

 

 

One of the bodyguards fans can't forget is Woo Do Hwan. In this drama, he plays two characters at once. He plays the role of Jo Eun Soba, a 28-year-old man who is currently serving in the army as a civil servant of the National Police.

 

But in another world in the Kingdom of Corea, he acts as a bodyguard and friend of King Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho). He is tasked with protecting King Lee Gong from all dangers, so his character in this drama looks serious and rather tough.

 

However, he is loyal, reliable, and genuinely cares for Lee Gon. He was also the royal guard that the king could rely on most. In this drama, he and Lee Min Ho also showcased some pretty strong bromance chemistry.

K-Drama Review "The King Eternal Monarch"

 

17 September 2021

 

 

The King Eternal Monarch has also become a drama that was discussed quite a lot in 2020. The drama, starring lee Min ho and Kim Go eun, tells the story of a love story in different dimensions and across time, in this case emphasizing fantasy stories.

 

In addition, this 16-episode drama also raises a picture of history and science fiction. King Lee Gon himself as the main character is an expert in mathematics.

 

Drama Synopsis

 

In The King Eternal Monarch, there are two worlds, the kingdom of Corea and the republic of Korea. Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) is the king of the kingdom of Corea. Meanwhile, Jeong Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun) is a police lieutenant in the Republic of Korea.

 

To connect these two worlds there is a gate which one who wants to pass through must have a key. The key is called manpasikjeok. This key was originally only kept by the king so as not to be misused. But Lee Gon's uncle, Lee Lim, has ambitions for the throne.

 

In his fight against the king (Lee Gon's father), Lee Lim managed to get half a manpasikjeok. With this, he fled and hid himself in the Republic of Korea.

 

Because his father was killed, Lee Gon has been king since he was little. But Lee Gon is able to become a smart and charismatic king.

 

Lee Gon and Jeong Tae Eul's first meeting began when Lea Goon was chasing something related to Jeong Tae Eul's id card. Last night when his father died, he found Jeong Tae Eul's ID card at the murder scene. Here Lee Gon finally found the bamboo forest where the parallel world gate is located.

Their meeting was certainly not dramatic. Although Lee Gon has been looking for Jeong Tae Eul's identity for a long time so he feels he knows him, for Tae Eul Lee Gon is a stranger. Their meeting continued until finally Jeong Tae Eul believed the world that Lee Gon said.

 

And problems start to come when they start to fall in love with each other. From Lee Lim's unsettling existence to their different worlds getting in the way.

 

Drama interesting point

 

One of the interesting points that makes this drama superior is the lineup of players. The main players are two kdrama stars who have successfully portrayed characters in popular dramas. Then automatically their existence becomes the attraction of drama.

 

The players in this drama also play two characters at once. Because people in the kingdom of Corea have duplicates in the republic of Korea, but with different characters and fates. Especially for the king Lee Gon there is no duplicate in the republic of Korea.

 

In addition, there are cinematography treats that spoil the eye. The scenes presented in this drama look very beautiful. One of them is like when Lee Gon and Tae Eul met in a park with beautiful shades of orange. Or when Lee Gon and Jeong Tae Eul met for the first time, the location and property settings were very beautiful, adding additional CGI effects.

 

No wonder because this drama was directed by Baek Sang hoon and Jung Ji hyun. Baek Sang Hoon himself is the director behind the hit drama Descendant of The Sun. Meanwhile, Director Jung Ji hyun is the character behind the drama Search WWW and Mr. sunshine.

 

So it's no wonder that the drama The King Eternal Monarch itself has so much cinematography to spoil the eyes. Coupled with the CGI effects that it uses so that the scenes in this drama look extraordinary.

 

Weakness of drama

 

Behind the amazing cinematography, the first thing that many viewers complain about this drama is that the storyline is a bit confusing. The back and forth plot and parallel world links do not give a clear picture to the audience.

 

In addition, the time travel also feels awkward and difficult to understand. There are many theories about the relativity of time, although the explanations are quite detailed, they seem strange.

 

Conclusion

 

But their happy ending was less exciting. The reason is not explained that they ended up having a happy ending in the kingdom of Corea or the republic of Korea. They are originally flexible because they can go back and forth between the two worlds. Also their happy ending is not a marriage.

 

But they can't really leave their respective worlds. For Jeong Tae Eul who is from the Republic of Korea, the Corea kingdom is like a fictional country. Meanwhile, Lee Gon cannot leave Corea because he is the king of his country.

 

But despite all that the ending is good because all problems can be resolved. King Lee Gon managed to reclaim half the manpasikjeok from Lee Lim's hands. The fates of the characters who are swapped between worlds also return to their respective worlds.

Most Koreans like to eat fried chicken very much. In Korea, there are many restaurants and franchises for fried chicken. It can be seen in many scenes, where the heroine's house opens a fried chicken shop. And often bring friends over to eat together without getting bored. 

 

But more Koreans often eat fried chicken with beer, also known as Chimaek (Chicken+Maekju), done especially after work or on important occasions.
