My naughty mind is running wild . I’ll be waiting for those for certain! It’s such a shame this drama is not on cable because they can’t do more due to the age restriction. But who’s to say when LMH and JJH totally had a tongue kiss in LOTBS and it was most definitely aired on SBS . 

That’s exactly why I  was Hoping this would be on cable. But your are right, LOTBS was aired on SBS and we know what happened :). 

Also, hyena has excellent kisses, it was on SBS. And suspicious partner as aired on SBS too.

Lee Min-ho X Kim Go-eun, what happened? Same time- totally different situation

 

Two shots of Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun in completely different situations were released.

 

Lee Min-ho will show the emperor Lee Gon of the Korean Empire with a graceful face after a dignified look, and Kim Go-eun will show South Korea's powerful detective Jeong Tae-eul with an easy-going girl crush charm.

 

In this regard, Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun are catching the eye with their "temperature difference row, meaning heart moment" that makes it hard to believe that they are taking place at the same time. In the drama, Lee Gon and Jung Tae-eul are showing completely different behaviors of "Polaris and Drama" at the same time. Emperor Lee Gon, who turned into a "bread-dol," gives a full level of cuteness look with his bright eyes and sweet smile, while South Korean detective Jung Tae-eul is eager to trace evidence by searching through piles of trash as if an emergency investigation had taken place. Curiosity is mounting over how Lee Gon and Jeong Tae-eul, who are faced with a temperate, coolness and 180 degrees of difference in temperature, will be connected at the same time.

 

Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun's "Temperature Tea Scaling, Meaning Heart Moment" were filmed in November and December last year at an old apartment in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, and bakery located in Mapo-gu. Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun were immersed in their respective scripts to express the different situations unfolding at the same time. Lee Min-ho heated up the scene by announcing the romance master's comeback with his acting skills that showed extreme cuteness only with his desire for bread. Kim Go-eun made viewers admire her lively performance of throwing her whole body out and searching roughly through a pile of trash.

 

"Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun vividly portrayed the romance across parallel worlds, the breathtaking tightrope walk that was unimaginable," the production company Hwa & Dam Pictures said, adding, "I ask you to watch the new and falling parallel world fantasy that Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun will unfold in 'The King-Eternal Monarch'."

Woo Do Hwan Shows Off Duality By Portraying 2 Contrasting Characters In “The King: Eternal Monarch”

Woo Do Hwan gave fans a peek at his first time playing two roles at the same time in “The King: Eternal Monarch.”

This upcoming SBS drama tells the story of two parallel worlds, one in which Korea is a constitutional monarchy and one similar to present-day Korea. Lee Min Ho plays Emperor Lee Gon, who tries to close the door between the two worlds, and Kim Go Eun plays Detective Jung Tae Eul, who works with him to save people’s lives.

Woo Do Hwan portrays Jo Young, chief imperial bodyguard and Emperor Lee Gon’s best friend, as well as Jo Eun Seob, a public service worker at the National Police Agency’s civil service office.

In the stills, Woo Do Hwan’s transformation into Jo Eun Seob is the complete opposite of his appearance as Jo Young that has been shown in previous stills. In contrast to Jo Young’s slick-back hair and tidy suits, Jo Eun Seob has curly hair and wears casual outfits. He also acts upbeat and bubbly, shows off a cute expression, and speaks in a Busan dialect.

Woo Do Hwan commented, “It’s difficult because it’s my first time portraying two characters, but I’m having fun filming.”

“The King: Eternal Monarch” premieres on April 17 at 10 p.m. KST. Check out the latest teaser here!

Lee Min Ho And Kim Go Eun Face Contrasting Situations In Parallel Universes In “The King: Eternal Monarch”

 

SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “The King: Eternal Monarch” has released new stills of Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun in completely different situations.

“The King: Eternal Monarch” will be a fantasy romance that tells the story of two parallel universes existing, one in which Korea is a constitutional monarchy, and one similar to present-day Korea. Lee Min Ho will play Emperor Lee Gon and Kim Go Eun will take on the role of detective Jung Tae Eul.

The new stills show the two characters in completely different situations across the two worlds. Emperor Lee Gon is in a bakery, excitedly talking about bread with the employees who work there. He has a warm look in his eyes as he carries on the conversation. Meanwhile, Jung Tae Eul is digging through trash in order to find evidence for her case. It’s a tough job but she’s determined to find what she needs in order to catch criminals.

Hwa&Dam Pictures stated, “Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun will take on a romance that is like walking a tightrope as they live in parallel universes. We hope that many people will tune in to watch the pair as they create a new and exciting fantasy story.”

“The King: Eternal Monarch” is set to premiere on April 17 at 10 p.m. KST.

This is fun!    Remember Baek Heon from Mackerel Run?  

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

@1ouise:  I would have never made the connection!  While we were watching Mackerel Run, I was wondering what became of that actor.

 

I think the Lee Gon-Lee Rim storyline will be quite interesting.  

 

I love LMH/Lee Gon's interview although it seems definitely like LMH, kinda goofy/cute

Jack Cruz styled this iconic outfit of Lee Min Ho on horseback, which fans went crazy for. 

 

...When asked about what it's like to work with the cast, Jack shares that they all have been very encouraging towards him. He even mentions a particular moment when Lee Min Ho backed up his idea: 

"The whole cast was amazing and they were very supportive of what I let them wear—no complaints whatsoever. There was a picture that kinda went viral, the one with Lee Min Ho was riding a horse. Originally, he was supposed to wear an equestrian hat because the director really wanted him to wear one, although I was totally opposing it (there was a bit of commotion on set) because I envisioned LMH on that horse with matching wind blowing through his hair (swoon moment). I won that argument because LMH took my side. Minutes after, the photo went viral and fans liked it."

Jack, you are the man! The king looks dapper and dashing! Straight out of a fairytale. 

Love how LMH took his side! 

 

————————

 

Isn’t Jo Young just too cute? He really does live for the king. Awhhh, their bromance will blow the roof off. Nope, I certainly do not believe he will betray the king , I don’t think he has a single ounce in him that would.
 

Is Jo Young the character most likely to die for the king? Absolutely! And I will cry!
