Jo Seung-woo and Lee Min-ho, who have been considered to be anticipated early in the competition for the Dramas to target the A house theater in 2020, are showing signs of confrontation. The TVN Secret's Forest Season 2 and SBS' The King: The Monarch of Eternity, which they each star, are likely to be organized side by side around July next year.
Secret's Forest 2 is about a case of murder of a prosecutor's sponsor by a lone prosecutor (Jo Seung-woo) and a just Detective (Baduna). Thanks to the success of Season 1, which aired in 2017, viewers' expectations for the sequel are also high.
Jo Seung-woo will join the filming of 'Secret's Forest 2' as soon as he finishes the musical 'Sweeney Todd' stage until January 27 next year. He has shown a special affection for season 2, and the production team has also started preparations since September. The production team plans to start shooting from the end of January next year when Jo Seung-woo's musical ends and finish shooting most of the time before broadcasting.
Another anticipated film, The King: The Lord of Eternity, is preparing to broadcast at a similar time. Originally, it started shooting in October with the aim of broadcasting in March next year, but it is looking at the time of July next year according to the willingness to improve the completeness as a pre-production. This predicts the possibility of a confrontation with Secret's Forest 2.
The King: The Lord of Eternity is drawing attention in that it is Lee Min-ho's return to the military service in May and a new work by Kim Eun-sook, author of tvN's Goblin (2017) and Mr. Sunshine (2018). The background of the Drama is set as a constitutional monarchy, and the romance that the emperor (Lee Min-ho) and Detective (Kim Go-eun) cross the dimension is drawn.
