I need a reason to like either lead characters in The King: Eternal Monarch and 4-episodes I can’t find a reason and the story is so convoluted to boot. The new stills for episode 5 still make me annoyed, it’s the same cool, calm, handsome beautific smile from Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun alternatively is looking dumbstruck, then smiling, then being a tryhard badass and pulling a gun on Woo Do Hwan. Why is she pulling a gun on a dude in a world totally foreign to her!?!? Why why? Can she freaking just stop and process what’s happening around her before spitting out annoying retorts and pissy dialogue and then waving around a firearm.
As mentally stunted as her Ji Eun Tak was in Goblin, and I can’t believe I know feel this way, at least she was half absorbing and accepting of all the supernatural around her and mostly just wilding about how crazy it is. Her Jung Tae Eul here is supposed to be an adult and a detective but is even less mentally sharp and mature. I really hate having to rag on female leads, it’s feels like a cheap shot, but Lee Min Ho’s Kim Gon is exactly the one-dimensional King he’s written to be and Lee Min Ho plays him straight, but nothing about Tae Eul works. Can we get a new female lead character midway through the drama, please?

Tae Eul looks like somebody abducted her and put her next to Gon. She is conflicted. Does Gon not see that?
The first collage: it looks like they’re performing a skit in front of their peers in drama school LOL
The last collage: what’s with the forehead bumping? Are they trying to communicate telepathically? Hahaha
So they’re 100 percent mutually in love now in episode 5? This romance is as believable as there are portals and alternative universes in reality ?
Wow you really hate this drama but still can't stop to post everything about it. I guess it brings a lot of clicks. I haven't watched it yet but if I hated it as much as you I would have stopped watching and talking about it all together.
It’s koala’s playground, she can use her free time as she please. She obviously still see entertainment value in watching the show, so let her be. —At least she’s giving examples and explanations of the positives(past article) and the flaws and not just outright dismissing it haha
If you don't like it, you can always leave the page. Don't stop people from voicing out their dislike for this drama.
@koala
You have a way with words. Yes, can we please replace the lead actress before this show really goes down the drain completely? She's annoying, overacting, exhausting to watch. And LMH, can you please show a bit more emotion?
She used to make homophobic comments on lee min ho's look during heirs day. U can ho n check. That is why i never bought her fake fangiri on lmh before drama airing.
Exactly, if you don't like it don't watch. I like the drama and I really understand the plot and not confuse about the 2 parallel universes, so I don't agree with the writer at all.
Lol.Don't mind Koala.she knows what she is doing.posting negative things about this drama makes people visit her blog often.she is just using this drama as clickbait.what happens to dropping a drama if you hate it.
Haven't you noticed that any post on"king:eternal monarch"has the most comments here.Look at how she is criticizing an episode that hasn't even aired.At this point,I think she is obsessed with the drama and the cast.People are hating on this drama deliberately and using "having an opinion" to mask their hatred.I believe that this drama is not the best out there but believe me,it is not the worst I have seen this year.I have dropped so many bad dramas,but none of them got this type of hate.I watched first episode to see what the hate is all about,but believe me,it wasn't bad at all.The actors and actresses are doing their best.The hate is getting ridiculous at this point.
It is not only Koala even koreans have some issues with this drama. Yesterday I watched a review of epi 1-4 by two Korean male youtubers who usually upload videos about kdramas or kent related stuffs. Their channel is called DKDKTV and I assume they are quite popular having more than 600 k subscribers.
BTW I m one of their subscribers .Their contents are fun to watch.
I understand disliking the leads, the romance, and even the acting, but how is the story convoluted? I'm not specifically referring to your comment, Ms. Koala, but this is a criticism I often see that is baffling to me because the story is pretty straightforward. I don't know, I just really enjoy the story and the concept of this drama. It's so fun to pay attention to the details and how they add to the world-building and the concepts. I even enjoy theorizing about it. Of course, this is still a KES drama and I might be thinking too much about it.
This is a childish article period. As someone mention if this is not for you kindly move to a green pastures but that is not the issue here this is entirely something else
Before watching the episode u passed thr judgement lmao
The only problem I have with the drama is that the romance seems forced. I can't really see how Lee gon is head over heels towards the girl since the first meeting.. What if the person who left id card in the past, was a man, would he also hv fallen for him then lol..This is Heirs all over again where the LMH character was obsessed with the FL since first meet without any apparent reason.. The writer is bad at writing romance development
@amy
I agree, the romance is the biggest flaw of the show for me so far. The main leads can have the best chemistry in the world(in this case they don’t) and it still won’t be able to save the romance. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s like the romance developments are puzzle pieces from different sets of complete puzzles and the writer is trying to jam it all together despite it not fitting together cohesively. It truly does feel like she made a fan fiction from her previous works, and not a good one lol.
I believe this page is called koalasplayground,so if you guys feel offended with what she writes, either you learn how to accept that she is not a fan and she has the right to criticize the show and actors or you can scroll to other articles that does not talk about the show or just leave the page and find another page that fits your liking of the drama and LMO.
Her blog is public. She can make it private chatclub if she wants people to agree with her only. If she is making it in public space, her views can be pointed out
She is not a fan and yet she is following the series.... Hillarious! ??
It's also hilarious people who hate her opinion come here to read HER blog ???
@ bbc ...Omg..that was epic???
You nailed it.Hypocrisy at its bestttt?
there is no hypocrisy. if u make a blog then dont expect people not to come. only dumb hypocrite here is u
Am not here to rebut the blogger. Am just amazed with the fact that considering she is not a fan and yet she is following the series like one.
why waste your energy on something you don't like?
