It's number 5 in Japan today. By the way India has bigger subscriber base then Japan as of 2020 IMO. It's 2nd in SK today. SK and Japan are almost neck and Neck Subscriber wise. Japan is not as signficiant Subscriber base wise. India has arguably more while Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea are almost same as Japan around the 3-4 million subs 

 

*** Thanks for sharing this good news. Really, India?

Lee Min Ho Thanks Lee Jung Jae For Show Of Support For “The King: Eternal Monarch”

 

 

Lee Min Ho has shared his gratitude to Lee Jung Jae for a thoughtful gift!

On May 17, Lee Min Ho shared photos to his Instagram account.

 

The photo shows him standing in front of a coffee truck, with the banners reading, “A regal face, hurrah to Emperor Lee Gon of the Korean empire,” and “To all the cast and crew, please have a refreshing drink and be strong! From actor Lee Jung Jae.”

 

The coffee track was sent by Lee Jung Jae to the set of SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama “The King: Eternal Monarch” to show his support for Lee Min Ho. The pair have maintained a close friendship since they met through the film “Gangnam Blues,” which Lee Min Ho starred in and Lee Jung Jae was a close friend of the director.

 

Lee Min Ho currently stars in “The King: Eternal Monarch” alongside Kim Go Eun, telling the story of two people who live in parallel universes as they try to work together to save everyone.

The banner across the top of the coffee truck reads, "Long live Lee Gon, emperor of the Korean Empire,"while the poster beside it reads, "All actors and staff, drink a refreshing drink and stay strong! From, actor Lee Jung Jae."

Meanwhile, Lee Gon, of course, refers to Lee Min Ho's character in the drama, who finds himself crossing into a parallel universe.

From episode 10:

my house


at the base of a distant hill, at the edge of a field, hard by the shore of the broad sea—
i’ll build it, my own house, and put a wide road in front—
 
those who go by, some might stop in, then go on alone—
the day will turn dark at the rise of the white rapids—
 
i’ll stand at the gate and i’ll wait, and shadows will grow lighter—
dawn birds will cry, and the day will turn bright and still—
 
the morning will come sparkling, and i’ll look at each one who passes, and wonder—
might it be you?  might it be?

Thanks @SophieH and @leeminhosny for posting the Netflix rating.  Please continue.  I'm going to be updating the first page at the end of the drama so I'm keeping some notes.  Does anyone have the gif of LG at the funeral where he opens his eyes?  I haven't seen a gif or clip of the scene where LG yells LR's name.  

 

@CallieP and I attended the BOF Viki watch party this afternoon.  There were over 500 watchers.  Most had already seen BOF.  One comment was surprised that the actor who portrayed GJP is the same as the one in The King lol.  Most comments were about GJP's hair.

Hello all! Dropping by this thread to share my respect, appreciation and admiration for this amazing actor/artist. I admit that I haven't been religiously following his career until TKEM but I've always know him from all his dramas and endorsements. Lee Min Ho is also very popular here in my country and he has stopped by several times already. Imagine my regret today   But it's never too late right? I'm glad that I was able to catch up and become his fan. 

 

I really find him as a great actor!  His presence on-screen exudes a charisma that is deeply connected with the character that he is portraying. What I love about him is his versatility in acting out his character, down to the littlest of details. 

 

CHEEKY, CHARMING AND UTTERLY SMITTEN. That smile.... is my new weakness 

 

STOPPPP IT. Stop being so cute. 

 

And in contrast, this side of him.

HIS EYES SPEAK SO MUCH. I can feel the worry, anger and fear from his eyes here.

 

LMH continues to amaze me and I now understand why he is a well loved artist around the world. 

 

It's so easy to be stereotyped as an a-list actor that sometimes non-fans would think he's so high up there but from what I am seeing, especially these videos on-set during the BTS, I now have a sense of understanding on what kind of person he is. He seems very genuine, kind and humble. You can see very clearly that he has a good relationship with the people around him. I have also researched about him and I find it very admirable how involved he is with causes. I am also amazed at how he is able to do a lot of charity works, even during this time of COVID. 

 

So I will definitely be on the look out for LMH from now on! And sincerely wishing him more success and more projects so we can see more of him.

 

(and hopefully when this pandemic ends, he can go on a tour again and stop by my country! I def wouldn't miss it! )

Lee Min Ho captivates viewers with emotional narration in "The King: Eternal Monarch"

 

 

Thanks to his warm voice easily penetrating women's hearts, Lee Min Ho is earning high praise for his narration in "The King: Eternal Monarch".

 

Lee Min Ho is making female viewers' hearts flutter with his mature charm when playing the role of Emperor Lee Gon in the drama "The King: Eternal Monarch". After displaying his unrivaled "King of melodrama" aspect through high-quality romantic scenes in the first half of the drama, the actor is promoting his great potential through a wide range of emotional expressions, thereby heightening the mysterious tension and sorrowful love story in the second half of the film.

 

The most impressive point is Lee Min Ho's narration with his appealing voice that brought fluttering feelings and sometimes made the atmosphere colder. Notably, in episodes 9 and 10 aired last week, his narration played a key role in raising the dramatic tension and sympathy of the viewers. Lee Min Ho's detailed narration genuinely depicting his inner feelings amid fast and thick developments, from when he determined to dig into the secret to seize Lee Jung Jin to his confession scene filled with tears with Kim Go Eun, pushed emotions to its peak and made the audience deeply involved in the drama. Below is the summary of the lifetime narrations of Lee Min Ho, who both touches viewers' hearts and enhances the perfection of every scene with excellent moderation ability to convey sadness and coldness through each of his words.

 

# "That's the one that I once loved" (episode 3)

 

The third episode of the drama ended with the scene of Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) determinedly rode the horse towards the Korean Empire after looking back at the scenery of the Republic of Korea with emotional eyes. Amid that, Lee Min Ho's words, "That's the one that I once loved" - a verse from Kim So Wol's poem "Requiem" - sounded, it left a deep resonance despite its shortness. Lee Min Ho's deep voice has made viewers choked when expressing Lee Gon's feelings when he has to leave Tae Eul. Additionally, he also fully conveyed the distressing emotion of the poem, immersing viewers into the lyrical atmosphere.

 

Besides, Lee Min Ho aroused fans' curiosity about the next happenings with intense lines such as "That day, when learning that the Manpasikjeok flute is the key, I should have realized it", "Traitor Lee Rim (played by Lee Jung Jin) holds the other half of the flute. Maybe, he is still alive and goes back and forth between two worlds. I should have realized this before seeing that beautiful thing."

# "Court lady Noh was wrong. I am the danger to Jung Tae Eul" (episode 6)

 

After learning about Lee Rim's survival through the real autopsy report, Lee Gon had a hunch that he would come to find the other half of the Manpasikjeok flute, saying, "I understand why court lady Noh feels worried. We're getting into a dangerous situation. Rebel Lee Rim is still alive and the thing added to him is the door to another world. If the purpose of that treachery had been the Manpasikjeok flute from the beginning, he would have come to find the other half I'm holding."

 

However, Lee Min Ho's voice was somewhat heavy in the scene capturing the heartbreaking reunion between Lee Gon and Jung Tae Eul (played by Kim Go Eun). The lines "Court lady Noh's concert was wrong. I am the danger to Jung Tae Eul" has shown an emotional change and promised to deliver more profound romance.

#"Finally Lee Rim has set foot in the Korean Empire", "Turns out that's what you're trying to get. Eternity" (episode 9)

 

Through a phone call in the Republic of Korea, Lee Gon found out the time that Lee Rim traveled between two worlds. Lee Gon predicted, "At that time, he was in the Republic of Korea. If the time stopped again, he would be in the Korean Empire." During the fifth time stop in the Korean Empire, Lee Gon narrated in a tragic tone, "Lee Rim has finally come to the Korean Empire."

 

In addition, in the process of searching for an answer regarding Lee Rim, Lee Gon started by wondering, "What have I missed?", then deducing, "The one who does not grow old and is almost immortal. It turns out that what you want to have is eternity." In addition to the numbness caused by Lee Min Ho's increasingly climactic narration, this scene also shows Lee Gon's convincing cold charm and extends the thrilling tension feeling.

 

# "Don't worry too much. I'm just walking up to you when time has stopped" (episode 10)

 

Lee Min Ho's sad dialogue at the end of episode 10 caused tears of the audience. It's the scene where Lee Gon appeared in front of Tae Eul after going through a difficult time, from the gun battle with Lee Rim to Jong In's death. He smiled sadly, gave her flowers and expressed his deep affection. Hot tears rolling down his cheeks and the passionate kiss of Lee Min Ho left an echo in viewers' hearts. His sorrowful narration resounding in the air slowly vanished, "At some point, I will suddenly disappear in front of your eyes. However, please don't be too worried. I'm just walking to your side when time stops", thereby multiplying the sadness and troubling viewers more than ever.

 

With meticulous efforts such as changing the tone of voice and adjusting breathing, Lee Min Ho's sincere narration is increasing the tension, resonance as well as the appeal of the drama. In each scene, he evokes the sympathy and understanding of the audience for the character's emotional changes through sophisticated and powerful narration. Therefore, the public is holding high anticipation for the profound scenes that the actor will bring in the future. "The King: Eternal Monarch" is broadcast at 10 pm (KST) every Friday and Saturday.

Lee Min Ho induces tears in audiences with touching love confession in "The King: Eternal Monarch"

 

Is there any confession so sad like that? Lee Min Ho induced tears in viewers with his "silent tears" acting to express the character's repressed emotions.

" On the 10th episode of Friday-Saturday drama, ""The King: Eternal Monarch"" (SBS) aired on May 16, the audience shed tears for Lee Min Ho's tearful acting, depicting the image of a person who is suffering but still has to suppress feelings. Appearing in the Republic of Korea with a gloomy face as if standing before the final battle, Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) makes viewers emotional when confessing his profound love for Jung Tae Eul (played by Kim Go Eun) in tears. Lee Min Ho's delicate acting ability, which gradually transforms emotions through the levels of anger, despair, and suffering, has given the drama more thrill and emotional impact."

 

...

After exuding cold charisma with just strong expression and gaze in a close confrontation situation, Lee Min Ho depicted in depth a desperate situation when he encountered an unexpected variable. He made viewers immersed in Lee Gon's boiling emotions with deep indignation and fierce eyes giving off a feeling of despair.

...

 

However, Lee Rim's ambition to usurp the Manpashikjeok flute was revealed through the deaths of the emperor (Lee Gon's father) and Jong In. With only the wavering eyes when knowing obituary news and Lee Min ho's gaze during the funeral, viewers can feel the emptiness and loss appearing on his face as if there were no more blood on it.

...

 

Each line combined with Lee Min Ho's appearance showed a sad smile with red eyes and the image of warm tears quietly rolling down his cheeks as he closed his eyes to try to prevent the tears that were welling up like a knife cutting into the audiences' hearts. The scene became even sadder and more heartbreaking because it was the tears that showed Lee Gon's deep love when he had to hold back his feelings for respecting Tae Eul's life in the Republic of Korea and at the same time, the tears of an emperor who is taking on another serious issue after having experienced many difficulties. Lee Min Ho's teary confession intertwined with extreme sadness and nostalgia increased the sadness of the episode and left a deep echo in the viewers' hearts.

Lee Min Ho is naturally immersing the audience into the sadness and indignation of Lee Gon's peak with acting that is heavy but still retains a moderated level suitable to the role of the Emperor, even if Complicated emotions gradually become more intense. It is expected that the next episodes will show Lee Gon's awakening when he decides to confront fate to protect the woman he loves as well as the safety of the two worlds. Therefore, the audience is focusing on how intense Lee Min Ho's passionate acting will become.
