After reading the introduction (which didn’t make sense) of the characters in KES’s upcoming The King: Eternal Monarch, I do have to throw my two cents in on this one.

You mean to tell me Lee Min-ho, Woo Do-hwan AND Kim Kyung-nam are all in this, but LMH is the one playing the LEAD?
In my very humble opinion, I think these other two guys have way better acting skills. I have nothing against LMH, he’s watchable… but he doesn’t do much for me as a performer, I think he’s enjoyable depending on the kind of actors he’s surrounded with, how he’s directed and what type of script it is.

That being said, I also have many bones to pick with KES as a writer, and I swore to never watch her dramas again after Goblin… but I always give them the 4 episode test just to make sure I can judge the dramas after having tried them, so I’m quite intrigued about this one (but probably won’t finish it).

FUN FACT: Of all her dramas, I enjoyed DOTS most, flaws notwithstanding; but Heirs is my most hated drama of all time.

    I still don’t know how I finished Heirs… I guess I was hoping it would get better, although it never did.
    And yes, LMH is as beautiful (he really is!!!) as not the best actor ever. Maybe this one is good for him. I liked him in Faith…

    Lol. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought it didn’t make sense. The world building is so confusing, with many characters. KGE is a cop in modern world and criminal in sageuk world. Criminal-KGE got caught and in prison she learned she had cancer and only 3 months to live.
    Me: ………why? Why does she need to die again after Goblin.

    I’m in it for the non-leads. And two WDHs in one drama! What could be better?
