I thought the only visual incongruity in just premiered SBS drama The King: Eternal Monarch was that cool as beans white steed Maximus, who struts like the graceful kingly ride he is, was a dwarf horse when shown in the younger King scenes racing like a stubby cutie around the track. Eagle-eyed K-netizens glommed onto another issue and it’s one … Continue reading →
It’s episode 2 time for SBS Fri-Sat night drama The King: Eternal Monarch, and there are ever only three ways a second episode could go: up, same, or down. I thought The King would increase in ratings but it stayed basically the same with second episode ratings of 8.4% and 11.6% in half episode increments. I found the world building … Continue reading →
This is a solid start for SBS Fri-Sat fantasy romance drama The King: Eternal Monarch starring Lee Min Ho, Kim Go Eun, Woo Do Hwan, Jung Eun Chae, Kim Kyung Nam, and Lee Jung Jin. The first episode took in 10.1% and 11.4% ratings and is clearly primed to go up what with the fresh story and big name cast … Continue reading →
It’s finally here woo hoo! Finally the wait is over and something interesting to watch is only a day away to look forward to. The cast of SBS Fri-Sat drama The King: Eternal Monarch attended the obligatory press conference today in Seoul and everyone got a dress code message, or at least I think so and the lone outlier did … Continue reading →
I feel like Lee Min Ho just keeps getting richer and more powerful on the small screen, lol. One would have thought his Gu Jun Pyo in Boys Before Flowers was Richie Rich to the max already but then he becomes the One Who Wears the Crown as Kim Tan in Heirs that someone is even richer. And now he’s … Continue reading →
March was interminable but it feels like April is flying as we’re already in the second week and SBS Fri-Sat drama The King: Eternal Monarch will premiere next Friday on April 17th. That’s awesome and wild that we’re one week away and I so excited to hopefully have a cracktastic drama to live watch. The production has released a slew … Continue reading →
Gah, K-actress Kim Go Eun is so so soooooo pretty in this new CF pictorial. She’s the face of a bottled tea drink brand and the newly released BTS stills capture the glorious early spring backdrop of Seoul matched with her equally radiant smile. I’m guessing we’ll see her drinking this tea in her upcoming K-drama The King: Eternal Monarch, … Continue reading →
The end of March is here and April doesn’t look more promising in terms of global affairs in real life. But in drama life the upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama The King: Eternal Monarch promises loads of reality escaping entertainment. The latest preview is a too brief quick scan through the faces of all six main leads Lee Min Ho, Kim … Continue reading →
The upcoming SBS drama The King: Eternal Monarch will be taking over the Fri-Sat time slot from Hyena so it’ll be a new spot for Kim Eun Sook when she collaborates with the Big Three networks. There is no way this drama isn’t going to get high ratings, there isn’t anything out there buzzy right now or nearly as high … Continue reading →
One of the reasons I’m so stoked for the upcoming SBS fantasy romance The King: Eternal Monarch is to hopefully see the redemption of Kim Go Eun. I LOVED Goblin but I really didn’t like character, and it was the sheer overwhelming love for the other three leads that helped overcome her naive wide-eyed blankness as a personality. She played … Continue reading →
Man, screenwriter Kim Eun Sook has so much to work with and still digs into her classic well of rom-com tropes. The second teaser for SBS drama The King: Eternal Monarch drops a hard hug, tons of staring, girl tying her hair in a ponytail as man gazes on warmly, and even an actual white horse galloping around. Don’t get … Continue reading →
Let’s get this out of the way, all the leads for upcoming SBS fantasy drama The King: Eternal Monarch looks great. Why wouldn’t they, with the big budget and also their natural visuals namely Lee Min Ho, Kim Go Eun, and Woo Do Hwan. I also think screenwriter Kim Eun Sook heard all the criticism lobbed at her writing of … Continue reading →
It’s always neat to see early behind the scenes pics of highly anticipated dramas and no other 2020 scheduled K-drama is probably trending as high in buzz as the Kim Eun Sook fantasy romance The King: Eternal Sovereign. Two months ago fans saw male lead Lee Min Ho literally personifying Prince Charming riding a white horse and now we see … Continue reading →
