• Goblin had 16 episodes only not 20 . Otherwise I couldn't have survived another 4 episodes and surely would have ended up dropping it. The start was great but in the middle it started faltering.Especially when Kim Shin came back alive ,I was like WTF??.what is the point of this story with the sword if he was going to come back anyway that too for his mortal love..??lost my interest but the second couple got me going and I could finally finish it. I felt the main leads had no solid storyline unlike the second couple and the age gap made it more awkward for me to watch.. Anyways maybe I was too much swept by the hype, hence disappointed.
  However I kind of like KGE'S performance in TKEM as opposed to that of Goblin. I may not be able to feel the leads' chemistry yet but they act decently in individual scenes. Only the director and writer sometimes make me so annoyed with slow paced, disjointed scenes and lazy recycled writing.

  • I am currently hooked on the king eternal Monarch. It has its flaws as every other drama but it's addictive and dose things right in ways you can't imagine. To put it short you just end up wanting more somehow. I loved the interaction of the lead. I was going ohhh how cute or sweet and something along these lines.

    I reckon it's not a romance but a sci-fi/fantasy-romance there is alot of action and other mysterious elements which is interesting

    • I agree it has been an awesome watch so far. It's just not the main lead who give this drama life but the premise also. You can sort of give credit to both of them being the reasons but not just one of them. I have watched it since the 1st epi. I was hoping they just dropped 16 episodes at once becasue the suspense is killing me

    • I normally don't enjoy KES dramas but this one has been an exception due to the parallel worlds and time-travel aspect. I have been all in since the beginning and It has been great so far. The actors are doing great job making this come to alive. LMH x KGE is a fancy pairing I was down with it as soon as I saw it

    • The Scfi-fantasy is good and gives the story extra layer something to keep the viewer in which is good but I love the main lead above everything else

    • @AlCois

      My exact sentiment I didn't watch 4 dramas since a gentlemen's dignity. But I am loving this drama most of her work the premise is great for a good show and thats exactly what is unfolding before my eyes

    • I have been theorizing this drama with my nurse collegue who is also currently watching this. We both love it. But What I can't bear is if one of the main leads die or if we get a bad ending. I am adoring it so far but KES should be careful not upsetting me with a bad ending

• Lol the problem is who’s still watching this?

  • yes millions around the world and even in korea numbers is in millions? so ur point?

  • There are many watching this drama and loving it.

    • haters cant understand that

    • Lol
      WhTs ur point here. If someone cant tolerate the writting and directing of this drama doesnt mean they are specificly haters!
      Speak logic pls

    • Lol
      Whats ur point here? If someone cant tolerate the writting and directing of this drama doesnt mean they are specificly haters!
      Speak logic

    • I dont need to specify to logic to haters like u

  • I dropped it. I felt it is sick ...why wiuld a King fall in love with an ID card his saviors dropped by accident. And then finding the gal just to endure insults , rudeness, aggression, which apparently, turned him on even more....total fetishism and sado-mazo...or stupid. I managed through the first 4 episodes only due to LMH, but even his charm could not compensate for the flaws in the script. They should have reworked the script, not the direction. And the ending is totally predictable. The uncle will kill the girl, and the grown up king will revenge by going after him into the past and save his "under-aged" self while dropping the ID of the girl next to him (the plot we saw on the 1st episode will come to life again) So obvious...but then 3-5 years later the girl will revive...this series are packed with all the clichés ...rich boy wants her, she turns him down etc. Anyway, my biggest disappointment in drama world.

• Article no. hundred million at this point we shall name Koalasplayground - The King eternal monarch

  • Hahaha. I agree it's unprecedented. Just hoping that she gave time to write about other things instead of focus on TKEM to this extend. We have dozens of articles flowing around and they are coming in fast. I need a break

    • she gets most buzz on king's articles with antis coming . Funny they wil still watch it lol

  • Another day another TKEM article oh wait. It's actully the 3rd article for today about TKEM and the 1000s about it for the last month

    • she gets her food from such articles

  • she is despo for hits. she did the same back with heirs even going as low as mocking lmh's looks and made transphobic comments!

    • Is she a sociopath or something? Dosen't she know that the said people she is personally targetting can read her articles and may even be reading her articles for a long time. It's lack of human awareness that makes one sociopath thinking other people are only fiction and not real people hence some people take some public figures as non-human entity which is severe sign of sociopath tendencies. It's also obsessive and childish behaviour taking a random celeb you don't know to serious. It's a non-matter made into a matter

    • i wont call her that lol. I think she is harsh and sometimes biased. Frankly i also comment on celebs look all the time but not on gender thing unless someone is bashing my fave. She made some bad comments during heirs day but i hope she doesnt think same way now. there is one suzy fan who also make transphobic comment on lmh all d time here

    • Probably an Ex-shipper lmh-suzy these are the worst kind ex-fans. I am not surprised the least. So the question is was Koala also an Ex-shipper of LMH with someone else perhaps Faith Kim hee sun? This is my suspicious she seems to have liked that drama and have jumped on the anti-bandwagon since probably because of Lmh-psh shipper who I admit were annoying

    • Yup that person looks like ovsessed shipper.
      You might be right. Thats why before pre aiting i never bought hee fake sugar coating anout lmh considering how she bashed him with bad comments during heirs days

    • @ady
      Unbelievable that you hate koala so much, or her opinion on Kong, yet here you are, ever present, helping her blog hit high posts.

      If you dont like her opinion, you dont have to read it. But you gotta absolutely understand- you cannot impose to everyone here to like the drama like you do. You have zero right to do that. So back to you, your own medicine. Haters gonna hate. But so what? It is still her blog, not yours. And the drama is absolutely horrible.

    • @mindy if someone makes comments on someones looks om public forum she will be called out. I ised to lile koalas until i read those post
      And i will read her posts to see how low she could go every time. So stop ur lecture

• There is nothing that can be done to save this drama... Issa flop

• thats true . its like bringing all doctors available to treat/ revive a vip patient even though known poor prognosis so that they dont have to handle the blame for poor script or nil chemistry between main leads which was the only adrenaline rush needed. i wish they chose park shin hye as many were waiting for them to return

  • Psh needs to stop putting their agenda. Today kim ho eun played 2 different characters effortlessly
    Noone is interested in psh

  • hahhaha. Nice commment. the drama is in the ICU now and needs reviving. lmao. what a waste of resources. It is realy hard to direct someone who cant act.

    • The drama is suffering from more criticisms by netizens, leading it to another poor rating, which is less than 10 again.

• no matter how many great PDs they take, if the story is not good then its worthless effort.

• That's what happens when the story is trash- make it as pretty as possible with popular actors to distract from the nonsensical story. Let's be 100% honest here- this show is just NOT good except for Do Hwan, he's pretty much amazing in everything he does... expect for the dumpster fire which was The Great Seducer but I digress. People out here really talking about the amazing chemistry with the leads- WHAT CHEMISTRY?! I can't be the only one who witnessed that train-wreck of a kiss right? Plus the dialogue these characters have makes me wonder if I'm having a stroke; it makes no sense. The folks praising this hot mess of a drama- yea I don't trust their judgement cause these are more than likely the same people who think Goblin was a masterpiece- NEWFLASH: IT WASN'T!

  • newsflash. stop passing down ur opinion as superior and as a fact

    • Let it be, it’s their opinion and not yours. Why would you get triggered by the statement? Everybody who read this will know that it’s an opinion and not fact.Jeez, just calm down. Please get yourself into comprehension class before commenting.

      Furthermore, the thing about liking the drama or not depends on one’s personal preference. You can’t just shove whatever you think is good to others. Just accept that whatever good for you might not work for others. Let everyone choose what they want to watch or support because at the end of the day, it’s their life anyway & they have the ability to choose whatever they think suit themselves the best.

    • @may read that comment and it is clear u need the class. Ther person is trying to pass down it as fact and looking down on people who like it? So get ur eyes checked
      Nope no one is shoving but dont mock people who like it or else expect replies. And yes everyone can. why r they keep forcing themselv every week if it so bad ? lmao. the intentions are quite clear . Comment on public forum and be ready to handle disagreements

    • @ady I think you tagged a different person.She is may_jane.

    • Lpl sorry may. So many may i thought its u??

  • How is the story nonsensical though? And I disagree, I hated The Great Seducer, but Woo Dohwan was great there. In fact, the toxic trio of friends carried that drama lol.

    Regarding your last statement, I'm one of the rare viewers who love this drama, and I like it more than Goblin (I don't think that one was a masterpiece). Goblin has better comedy and more emotional resonance, but I like this one better because of its concept and unpredictability. It also doesn't feel overly long like the typical KES drama; that was my biggest problem with Goblin. Just my two cents anyway.

  • they should cut down the episodes fr 16 eps to 12 and let the succeding drama air earlier than june 12. the sucverding drama looks fun than this cinderella drama. Not to mention the leads really look good unlike the leads in this cinderella drama

• I am freaking enjoying this tv-show. It's everything I needed to cope with the lockdown and self-distancing stay at home life style. This show is a life saver. I love the chemistry of the lead they are cute and beautiful together.

  But what I most love is the storyline and the premise. It has a fascinating intrigue. It's just one of these tv-shows where you get stock on it from beginning to end. I love everyone involved specifically the lead actors they are very good together

• I began watching it a week ago. I catched up late on the party. The things I noticed the visuals is breathaking. The main lead is handsome As for the chemistry I love them together. I love the mystery surrounding the drama. the time travel I wanna see how they will excute that. So far so good. waiting for next episode

• I love this drama and the main lead. I paid subscription to netflix just to catch it. In the beginning I didn't know what to expect but it was pleasant. I love it

  • I had 1 year subscription pre-paid plan that was running out had to re-new for 1 more month for TKEM. I was anticipating it before it aired. I got hooked immediately. Not a shipper myself but I like the plotline and the concept

    • I watch it on other platforms the quality may not be as good as watching it there but it's good enough

    • I already had subscription but I am there solely for The King Eternal Monarch every single weekend

  • same here sis!
