Might be an unpopular opinion but The King ep 2 is ridiculous. Do women really swarm attractive men at libraries? Openly take pictures of them? Do children mock paralyzed children in front of their mothers? Why is the antagonist so over the top? Why is the Prime Minister not shown as an awesome, intelligent and strong political figure, but just some thirsty woman wanting to be romantically associated with the King? If you came from a parallel universe would it really make sense to constantly talk about being from a parallel universe? And to cops of all people.
And I’m sorry but King Tan is super cringy and boring. I’m guessing he is supposed to be swoony but he comes off like a creepy stalker.
And both episodes had the worst endings. 🙄
So far the only saving grace is KGE, Maximus the horse, WDH’s beautiful face and the plate of fried chicken.
I second all that. My eyes rolled enough at everyone calling him beautiful and women swarming him everywhere to the extent of loudly saying don’t go. While KGE and WDH also KKN are the saving grace, they aren’t exactly interesting either. If on boring scale, Lee Gon is 9/10 boring, the rest are 6 or 7 too and the plot is 10.
I am sad to say that, yes, even WDH is boring in this. The whole drama is boring and silly. The 2nd episode felt like it was 3 hours long. I was really wanting it to be good but right now I don’t think that will happen.
Kim Eun-sook might have to go out more and see more of the world. This is how she writes dramas but I’m amazed that she hasn’t changed her formula with the changing world.

I’m hoping that he’ll see that he can act circles around a certain other actor and just take over.

I agree with all of this.
The scene with the kids mocking the paralyzed kid was awful. Just awful.
