The more I analyze this drama, the more I am at awe of Kim Eun-sook's writing. The non-linear storytelling is…
Once again, I love complex stories too. But this one is badly told. It's why the rating are so low. Even a complex story, when well done, can get accetable ratings. Far more than that, considering KES is famous.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST ON EVERY LEVEL. THEY WILL RATHER DIE THAN ADMIT THAT THIS DRAMA HAS BEEN THE MOST ADDICTIVE…
No. Not OK. I don't subscribe to this relativistic view of things. For sentimental and obscure reasons, maybe a very few people will accept that. But let's be objective and at least a little clear-sighted: the drama suffered drastic rating downgrades in the first half. This did not come out of nowhere.
I can't invent this. Niki, the truth-teller said it: you're a snake in the garden of eden!
I forgot one thing. My memes are mostly inspired by a lot of commentators all over the internet. BUT! There's one I could never have found without Niki's direct help, and that's this one: http://w4worlds.eklablog.com/the-king-eternal-monarch-meme-03-chicken-product-placements-a187786552 This is an almost perfect replica of an exchange of dialogue we had here. That is why I would like to thank her once again warmly.
stop the blah blah blah, as you try to indirectly target me. Just read this, it explains why :http://w4worlds.eklablog.com/the-king-eternal-monarch-articles-c31688180
:-D Thanks to be here ! Always a pleasure and a good fun to read you.
Because it's badly done, so you don't understand quickly what happens.
I don't understand all, because im not english native and your words don't say something coherent in my automatic translator. I just suppose you are offended.

It's good, even excellent about some point, but it's really the contrary of being addictive. It's perfectly UNaddictive, until episode 11 and 12. More, everything that could be done for this to be unaddictive had been done. Like if it's was the main objective.
Some people pointing out bad/good on actors/actresses is really bad in my opinions. They all play their role really…
I'm really not a fan of Lee Min Ho. Well, I'm not anti-fan too. But he's better than usual here. Actors are nice in this drama. All the actors. I'm not going on WDH fan rampage.
Because it's badly done, so you don't understand quickly what happens.
You're absolutely right. It's an idea that's certainly better understood by the Korean public. I always say there are too many characters for drama to be effective. However, Lady Noh is a good environmental character, she's easy to remember. My theory is that the old prince wasn't useful to the story. By modifying the scenes a little bit, Lady Noh could have taken care of giving all the information that the old prince gives. At the beginning of the drama, there is a good scene of conflict between Lady Noh and the PM Koo. But alas, it falls into oblivion. During a scene in a restaurant, the old prince and PM Koo have a heated conversation. It would have worked with Lady Noh, to intensify her conflict with PM Koo.
Lee min ho is the best actor in korea right now hands down. Too bad he is paired with kim go eun. I thought her…
For me, Lee Min Ho is the low limit for an actor. If an actor is not as good as him, it's a bad actor. If an actor is better, it's an acceptable actor. Then even better actors are good, then excellent. On the other hand, Kim Go Eun is especially impressive in her performance as an actress. Lee Min Ho is also better than usual.
Because it's badly done, so you don't understand quickly what happens.
Even though I really like episodes 11 and 12, I keep a critical eye. This scene was not understood by many people. And I, who did understand, had a fatal lapse of thinking. The cliffhanger effect was missed because of that. The scene with PM Koo who has lightning disease in front of Lee Gon might have been better. It's a scene that has a very high hitting power. And the viewer really wonders how this confrontation will end. In short, interchanging the two scenes, which didn't pose a chronological problem. Or else, we should have made Lady Noh's cliffhanger more visual. For example: Lady Noh shows an old photo to Tae Eul while she's talking. There, one can immediately recognize soldiers, a flag, showing without a doubt that this is the other world.
Since the beginning of the drama, I have enjoyed the romance scenes and both actors are very good in these scenes.…
There's the drama Doctor Stranger. The romance is terrible, because the story set with the second female lead becomes more beautiful and more convincing. We spend our time screaming at the male lead not to take back his former fiancée. But the scenario is a real dictator and imposes this on us. T T

Congratulations, you're officially the alpha villain, the Lee Lim of commentary.

Actualy I also post some new way of understand the drama on bitchesOverdrama :
http://bitchesoverdramas.com/2020/05/25/the-king-rahrahs-frozen-times/
I hope it's not too difficult for your "brain". But first I don't consider a drama about "brain" but storytelling.
If I want a "brain" story, I watch a movie like Primer. Anyway, even Primer is not so badly done about directing/writing. So here, you really focus about the mind intensive part of the story, not the useless confusion/flaw from the production.
