To be honest, among all K-dramas I've watched, this one is very hard to describe. Took me weeks after finished watching to embrace myself writing my review here. And I decided not to read other's opinions, good or bad, on this since I believe they will affect my objectivity. I want to be very honest pouring out my review about The King: Eternal Monarch.

1. The Power of Lee Min Hoo
I don't see myself as LMH's die-hard fan who's passionately waiting his comeback after discharge for military service. Since I started watching K-dramas, LMH is, sadly, not on my most favorite actor list though. But for real, I can see clearly that LMH is one of few actors who has such a strong aura. His persona is out of this world and this I believe becomes the reason why he always gets those rich man or prince roles. Specifically talking about The King: Eternal Monarch, I can tell that Lee Min Hoo is the strongest X factor this drama is a bomb.

2. Ads are crazy
I've never seen a drama with too many ads before. Like, the product placements are everywhere! But don't get me wrong. I'm totally okay to that. The ads are beautifully capsulating through the drama so it doesn't bother me too much.

3. This drama is not for everyone
This kind of story is not for everyone, like for real. If you're into science fiction-thingy, this one is for you. But to me, this one is watchable and I really enjoyed my time watching this back then. I didn't find TKEM is hard and very complicated to watch like most people are saying. I remember, I cried so hard on the last 3 episodes. Some scenes are very touching and I praise all the casts for their excellencies.
