*I would've prefered though to see Woo Do Hwan as lead, he's literary the best actor in his age group!
*FANGIRL MODE ON*

Me too, very confused about the confusion lol
It literary isn't hard at all to digest.
I've noticed though from watching dramas for over half a decade now that the general drama watching audience tends to be very dumb lol, so the "I love my simple romcoms with only happy endings" people (which is majority of drama audience let's be honest) are simply too idiotic to comprehend a more complex plot.
It explains the amount of idiotic comments here
*facepalm*

I. CANNOT. WITH. YOU. PEOPLE.

Summary of people's negative comments:
-Plot is boring
-Main couple has no chemistry
-Female lead character is annoying
-The story is all over the place
-The 2nd lead male shouldve been cast as main lead
-Great visuals cover up the fact that plot is bad
-Corny dialogues
-Droppable drama

Funny, these are ALL my SAME critisisms, but NOT for this drama, but for GOBLIN.


Unlike Goblin, where the lead pair literary had NO chemistry, I'm actually enjoying the leads together here, and plot is actually much better executed in first 2 eps than the whole of Goblin. Goblin was "dropping" material.
The female lead is actually a strong likable female here, unlike the annoying and childish beyond words Euntak.

You people are so ridiculous, praising Goblin like it's the best thing that ever happened, then now when KES has actually improved her writing NOW you shout the criticisms!!!

Well that's really strange. It works fine for me....

Maybe you could report this technical error to the mods & have them help you fix it?

First you need to add it ass "Currently watching", then you should be able to add it as completed.

Agreed with the list EXCEPT:
Kill Me Heal Me, Secret,
Secret Garden and You're Beautiful are actually VERY GOOD & not overrated at all.

My opinion though.

Maybe this is why I'm, unlike most complainers, actually liking King: Eternal Monarch so far.
People comparing it with Goblin, expecting it to be "as good" lol.
Imo, so far it's so much better.
Especially the female lead is intriguing & not annoying, NOT CHILDISH like in Goblin, & main leads not off putting together.

Not only NO CHEMISTRY, but MOST of drama focuses on the snorefest main pair, and not enough on the promised fantasy, & the 2nd pair with actual chemistry have barely any screentime.
Not to mention female lead character is very annoying too....

Goblin = Glofiried cliched Romcom with boring & annoying lead characters disguised with pretty cinematography and supposed unique fantasy plot.

I only finished it for sunny&grim reaper, otherwise wouldve dropped!

No it's clear enough and like you said just FIRST WEEK. Of course they cannot give away all mysteries yet lol

Too many people are simply idiots who can't follow complex storytelling, it seems they need a very simple story to understand anything sigh

@namopanik Agreed. He won't just give his name. Thanks for being LOGICAL!

The commenter above is not using logic and is biased (&totally overthinking that the writer is hating on Christians & Christian beliefs). See my post about how including death, darkness, devil in works is just some writer's tool of deepening writing.

Including a taste of darkness & death in works is a way to reach the deepest parts of being human, through tragedy, thus making people think deeply about themsleves and life. Developing a taste for it is a way for some writers to deepen their writing.
Just FYI from an aspiring writer with writer friends.
I feel sorry for your beliefs limiting the scope of what you'll allow yourself to watch/read/experience, it means you'll miss out!
I'm sure KES isn't including devil & death etc. in her works because she actually likes either/agrees with/worships either.
She's likely trying to emotionally affect that vulnerable part of us humans more.

This is how people who dress goth & listen to darker music get accused of being "devil-worshippers", when in reality vast majority (only few exceptions & those exceptions tend to be crazy) HAVE NOTHING to do with any devil; and just enjoy the feeling of aliveness and realistic negativity it brings to notice darker feelings & remain melancholy, and being truthful & sympatehtic to others who also feel how messed up the world is (or some are just sad or some simply like the dressing style).

Writing about death, is a purposeful way to awaken a deep sadness within us, an existential crisis, to make the viewer/reader think deeply about the meaning of existence. Nothing to do with actually liking death, devil, darkness; but a method to reach in us what it means to be human

To make us live with more purpose. Sometimes (&or alot of the times!) watching/reading about death, darkness, devil etc. can ironically even deepen our sympathy for others and open up our hearts. Please don't misunderstand that including darker things shows evil intent of writer. Quite the OPPOSITE actually.


*Sorry for long rant, I hope you get the point.

Each to their own I guess lol, I personally prefer more deep & contemplative style. Different genres can be combined, it can lso include great thriller, 1 does not automatically erase the other you know?

Here's hoping it's both contemplative & nostalgic with great thriller too!

Yes!!! Im not usually into idol but she really charmed me in MelodyOfLove years ago, what an innocent sincere cutie! Hopefully she gets OWN loveline, not triangle/harem....

The plot summary sounds like there will be a triangle/square though, but I'm really hoping is the LOW-KEY kind where Song Ho Jun is the obvious love interest/lead with Jihyo, the rest only one-sided crushing on her or only-shortlived unserious triangle or plotting by others/misunderstanding/outside circunstances ONLY WAY for other men to have a shot at her heart, and NOT that she actually LIKES SEVERAL men!!!

I absolutely HATE HATE HATE the love triangle/square/pentagon/hexagon type where the lead is ACTUALLY TORN between 2 or more, makes the lead so disloyal, unreliable as hell & the lead's final choice into a joke.

#PLEASEonlyUNSERIOUSlovesquare &Only ONE CLEAR winner since the start!!!!

Also agreed that Dasom should have own pair & not love triangle

More than not good actor, he's not a good HUMAN. Casting PDs still casting a rapist without caring argh!

SSH was originally going to do this?

Yeah HUGE WTF, last time they cast this tool with SongJiHyo & great plot, total waste of Jihyo & amazing plot.... le sigh

THEY NEED TO STOP CASTING HIM, HOW DO THE PDs just NOT CARE about RAPE OMG NO MORALS!!!

This drama gives strong Madame Antoine (with Han Ye Seul) vibes, I like it!
(except added in fantasy and no romance)
Especially FL role is very similar and highly CHARMING like MadameAntoine; from watching the trailer, cant wait! <3

The first poster was so much better! Actually beautiful....

dramanice, dramacool, fastdrama <<< knowing these sites is very good for all your drama watching FYI, theyre so reliable at having all dramas there

Yeah the description of character here is that he carries alot of emotional scars, usually I really fall hard for that type of character, but knowing it's LMH acting, I'm afraid this time I won't since he likely won't be able to portray all the deep hurts and emotional nuances well enough.....

Can I hope to be wrong though & that he's dramatically improved, I don't have high hopes though

The character description sounds much better fit imo for Kim Nam Gil, So Ji Sub, Kim Jung Hyun, Woo Do Hwan etc. who can act in deep way from eyes to truly feeling & engaging viewers emotions in a raw and true way.....
