BEST DRAMA EVER!

I have watched a lot of dramas but The King: Eternal Monarch has by far been the best.

I loved the acting.
Lee Min Ho's acting was spot on. The way he portrayed his character was so life-like. The emotions he displayed were so on point that I often found myself tearing up in the sad moments and laughing in the playful ones.

Woo Do Hwan's acting was absolutely perfect. His acting was superb. His acting as Jo Yeong and Jo Eun Sub was so great, that I actually had to research to see if Woo Do Hwan had a twin brother. He portrayed both characters expertly. He gave each character their own personality and behavior. I could just make out who was who.

Kim Go Eun's acting was done amazingly. I don't think anyone could have done a better job. She captured the emotions just right and I felt as if I was really there watching them instead of sitting on my couch.

The OST was epic. I really have no words to express how perfect it was. The OSTs set the mood. If it was romantic scenes, heartbreaking scenes, happy scenes, or action scenes, the OSTs captured it perfectly. It was so great that I downloaded all the OSTs

This drama I can positively say was a work of art. Everything, to the acting, OSTs, the professionalism of the different sets made the drama more realistic and enjoyable.

I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone and everyone. It will make you want a season 2!

"If we meet again in the next life, hope you can come to marry me"

Firstly this drama really was emotional for me. I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this drama.

I cried and cried during the last episodes of the drama. The emotions that the actors portrayed and the way they did those scenes made me forget that I was just watching a drama. I cried when Zhousheng Chen was executed and I wept when Shiyi read his letter. Hats off to each and every actor and actress.

Even though it was heartbreaking it made me greatful for those little moments they all shared. Like when Shiyi would wait for news about her Master's victory or when her senior brothers and sisters would spoil her and the conversations that they all shared. It made me realize how quickly things change with time, in the drama and out of it.

Zhousheng Chen's life was one that really made me emotional. He gave his life for his country going so far as to vow not to take a wife or have children so that the royal family can be rest assured that their power would not be affected by him, only to be killed because higher powers felt threatened by his "bones" and ability. It was so sad that right until the last moment he was so sacrificial, worrying about others more than himself. It was so heartbreaking to watch as he bids Shiyi farewell. He loved her so much but could never act on his emotions due to circumstances.

Shiyi's character was performed phenomenally. You see how she gradually grows from a mute noble daughter, to becoming Zhousheng Chen's deciple, to loving him, to having to leave him. I was broken hearted with her during the last episodes.

As I watched the concluding moments of the drama I have come to learn that we don't always get a happy ending. There is loss in life and we have to accept that. For every tragic thing that happens it makes us grateful for those moments where we just chattered with our loved ones, ate with them and walked a busy street with them.

I would 1000% reccomend this drama. It is a masterpiece, and I don't say it often about dramas that I watch. You will laugh, cry and smile with the characters. Don't miss out watching this drama just because it has a sad ending, it is worth it, plus there is a part 2/sequel called Forever and Ever. I am going to start it soon. I am sure that will heal most of the heartbreak and sorrow I went through.

A DRAMA THAT LEAVES YOU WARM AND FUZZY ON THE INSIDE

This has seriously been one of my favorite dramas. As an avid reader and a drama lover, this drama has tied those two aspects really well.

I simply loved the way the cast portrayed their love for reading and books. When I watched this drama I could relate to their love for books. I feel that this drama had the right amount of focus on books, reading, drama, and comedy. It didn't focus solely on one aspect and for me, that made this drama so much more enjoyable.

I love how the protagonists just connected with each other. Each of the cast's characters had a unique personality, even the characters that seemed to have a perfect life had some sort of struggle, which I feel made the characters more human.
The casting was done really well. Some of my favorite actors like Lee Jong Suk made this drama a must-watch. All the cast members including the protagonists and side characters each made this drama more memorable and enjoyable.
The ending of the drama wrapped up wonderfully but made me sad that it was ending.

I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone and everyone. I promise it is worth your time

Review

I have found this drama really interesting. The way the characters are portrayed is really well done. Here are the pro's and con's of this drama so far:

PROS
The storyline is excellent. When the male lead puts his life on hold to help his best friend's family out, I found was really noble and made the storyline a whole lot more interesting.
I do really like the way the protagonists in the drama evolve throughout the drama. Some things are never what they seem which makes the drama a whole lot more enjoyable. I like that in every episode there is something new to discover.

CONS
Sometimes the clueless nature of the characters is a bit annoying. The female lead only follows her heart only after certain circumstances. The antagonists really get on my nerves.

Overall this drama is terrific so far. I personally am enjoying it. There is no incest in this drama whatsoever. The male lead is the female lead's deceased brother's best friend and has to act as her brother due to the female lead's mother's health problems. They don't have any blood relation. I would definitely recommend this drama. I hope that this review was helpful. If there are any major spoilers by any chance I apologize, although I tried really hard for there not to be.

THE BEST DRAMA I've WATVHED SO FAR!

This drama was absolutely breathtaking. It is definitely my favorite drama. Here is what I've loved about it.

The Ost
The music was simply wonderful. It captured the mood really well. I actually downloaded all of the songs from Are You Human Too? It was really amazing :)

The Acting
Seo Kang-Joon (Nam Shin and NamShin3) really captured each of the characters wonderfully. It was like he was two different people. The way he acted as the kind and loving NamShin3 and the angry Nam Shin made me want to watch more and captivated my attention. Gong Seung-Yeon(Kang So Bong) showed me what it is like to love someone unconditionally. She played her character really well. She didn't judge NamShin3 by the fact he was a robot. She accepted him just as he was. She didn't worry about him being a robot and she encouraged him to be true to himself instead of discouraging him to be someone else just because he was different. Every single one of the characters played their parts amazingly. They made the drama so much more enjoyable and full of suspense and drama.

The Story
The storyline was written really well. It really did make me cry when something bad happened to the protagonists. It also made me want to jump into the screen and hit the antagonists when they did something cruel. It kept me in suspense. The ending was written really beautifully. It made me content but has also made me wanting there to be a season 2 ;)

Overall this drama is the best one in my opinion. It had the suspense, the drama, and the romance in it. I definitely will rewatch this drama and I highly recommend 'Are You Human Too?' to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed :)
