How could you say this is a mature romance when the thing LG did during their first meeting was hugging her? They're strangers for goodness sake. Infatuation? YES. Love? Definitely NO. Even love at first sight needs to develop, not so out of nowhere like this...

Too right. It's JUST a drama. There'll be more in the future, better or worse. It's really not worth it :(

I also enjoy interacting with so many people here. Rather than the drama itself, I think this is the best part.

Ikr, boasting about high numbers of comments and concluded that it's a sign of a successful drama... Oh c'mon, it's not that simple :(

Regarding ppl, we really can't blame the actors. If you've read comments on this page, you would have realized that most people didn't blame the actors, some of them even sympathized with this situation. Imagine how could the actors deliver such cringey dialogues :(

If ppl didn't take much time and not so blatant then it would be a trivial matter, but in this case, some episodes showed abundant ppls and they incorporated unrelated dialogues into the story. I have to say that they're kinda distracting...

I don't think we could compare 'surrounded by branded products' situation in drama and real life. It's simply because ppl in drama was intended to advertise those products...

Anyway, just random thought, don't you think it seems unfair to 'blame' people here for something you read outside this page? Because somehow it feels like being accused for something I didn't even do, sorry...

Actually, it's not that bad as long as you respect other's opinion :)
Here are some tips (It works on daily life too, not just kdramaland):

•Do not take other’s opinions personally.

•Do not let emotion rule your reason! Do not become angry because someone does not see things the same way you do.

•Do not expect to convince another person to change their view.

•Diversity is what makes life interesting, and it would be a boring world if everyone were just like me or you.

•Finally, you can ask yourself “how important is it?” when you are debating issues with those who have differing opinions.

p.s. It would've been better if you're providing evidence when examining another person's claims or comments instead of making an abusive remark on or relating to one's person

I've talked about the critics that mentioned here, on MDL's comments section. Have you read them? If I'm not mistaken, most people here didn't criticized the parts you mentioned above. Those ones came from South Korean netizen.

I'm aware that many of us here came from different parts of the world (outside South Korea), so it's understandable if we're not familiar with SK-JPN history. We might think, "this is fiction, we can do whatever we want, those are only designs,"etc while others could think differently. People form their opinions based on their former experiences and understandings, and everyone have different perspectives.

I believe we could agree that there does not have to be “right” or “wrong” on every issue. They're just differ from ours...

For the umpteenth time... #sigh

If you understand that's good for you... There's no need to imply that people who criticised this drama as the ones who fail to understand what's happening.

You're free to argue that the drama has succeeded internationally based on that list (even if in fact "success" can't only be inferred from viewership measurements alone), BUT those critics that mentioned here are not baseless. Such glaring flaws aren't trivial matters, even to the extent of disturbing the enjoyment of watching the drama itself

Yep, as usual

Got it. Thanks!

I found it.. it's uploaded on SBS NOW YouTube channel. The video is not available in my country though (maybe without English subtitle too). Here's the title:

[더 킹 : 영원의 군주] 스페셜 '1~10화 요약 더킹 몰아보기!' / 'The King Eternal Monarch' Special | SBSNOW

So, where can we watch it?

After checking for a while, I couldn't find that so-called additional episode lol. That member said she saw the information somewhere on Twitter. It's likely to be a fake news...

With a story that has a jumble of ideas, it's normal to overthinking lol! But that's only my guess too so I don't know exactly hahaha

I saw someone wrote in this comment section that there is additional episode that'll be airing tonight to explain several unsettling things from previous episodes. If it's true, then maybe we should check it out lolololll

Maybe at first she thought that's only her imagination, then she's afraid that something bad had happened and LG wanted to break up and said goodbye...

Interest first, like/don't like later...

I believe this drama has piqued our interest, that's why we started watching it. Comments, critics, like/don't like are just response to this interest. If the interest are still there, it's normal to come back here after watching each episode... Well, that's just my two cents

I don't understand why they're still showing us those "supposed to be" romantic scene. They even used them to promote the drama (read Soompi's articles, they describe those scenes as fluttering moment lol). For goodness sake it's not even their forte :/

Anyway, about ppl, I take pity on LMH somehow... This drama excessively took his screen time for ads (+"romance")...

At least we caught a glimpse of what actually happened from ep 7

+ more coherent narrative, better flow (for once I thought I watched different drama LOL, but NO, it's still TKEM, with better storytelling & editing though)

+ superb performance of WDH

- unfortunately, still no reasonable news from romance department. From preview of ep 8, it seems like we'll get the answer tomorrow, hopefully

- somehow revelation pace hasn't fast enough for 16-episodes drama. I'm afraid there's not enough time for everything

Current situation:
• We are nearing half of the drama
• There are still lots of characters that have been introduced but not properly "used" yet

Let's see then...

Perhaps the lack of attention to BGM mostly caused by the way the story goes in this drama. Some of us had mentioned varied flaws before and few of them are so crucial to the extent that we ignore BGM part...

Wow, just left few days and now it's already escalated into this level. I can't even imagine what will happen on Friday & Saturday night (cross fingers)

Anyway, regardless of what happened with the drama, I think we can agree that respecting other people's opinion is one of the best moral value we can learn from this

Welcome~ and have a seat.. don't forget your snacks though lol
