Lee Min-ho chose the SBS gilt play "The King: Lord of Eternity" by Kim Eun-sook as his return after the call-off. For that reason alone, this work became the best anticipated work in the first half of 2020. Lee Min-ho, who returned to the house theater in three years, has already shown a good co-work with Kim Eun-sook and SBS Drama 'heirs', which has inspired confidence in his work selection. Partners were determined early on by Kim Go-eun. Kim Go-eun also has experience capturing the house theater with Kim Eun-sook's tvN gilt Drama 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God'.
Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun perform as South Korea Emperor and Detective respectively in works based on 'Plane World Fantasy'. Can two people who will form a sweet romance across Korean Empire and South Korea meet the expectations of the work? I look forward to the tight performance they will show with their fellow Actors.
Plot: Drama depicts a romance of different dimensions through the collaboration of the Yi-Gwa () type Korean Empire Emperor who wants to close the door () against the devil and the Moon-Gwa type South Korea Detective who wants to protect someone's life and love.
Characters: Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun and Woo Do-hwan and Kim Kyung-nam and Jung Eun-chae and Lee Jung-jin

Watch: Kim Eun-sook's dictionary didn't fail; 'Dawn of the Sun', 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God' and 'Mr. Seanshine' are also box office unbeaten. It is the ability to solve the difficult contents because of its firm World view. This year, the work related to parallel theory is noticed, and it opens first. Kim Eun-sook Theory of parallelism between the Joseon Dynasty and the present, which will be the peak of fantasy.
Subtraction: It's a work everyone expects, and there are many ugly rumors. Following the casting controversy, the main character is also talking about filming with a specific PD. Two shots of Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun, a trailer released, and two shots of 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God', which we know so much, overlap. The main character is tall, so the silhouette is similar and the opposite part is Kim Go-eun. The main character is also a question mark. No one can do it, but no one is creepy. I worry that Lee Min-ho's "I didn't understand the first script" during the production presentation will apply to viewers, too; everyone gathers their mouths and praises them for getting really fun after the sixth episode.

What to watch: Will another fantasy mans Drama be born beyond 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God'? As Kim Eun-sook's unique organs are displayed, the expectation of fans waiting for her work is focused. The setting of 'parallel World' is a little different from the time slip, but the subtle meeting of the Korean Empire emperor and Detective gives a thrill in spring.
Subtraction: Lee Min-ho returns after three years, while the task given to him goes beyond the wall of Gong Yoo. 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God' is not free from comparison with Gong Yoo; Kim Go-eun's transformation of acting skills is also key. The key is how convincing it will be drawn that it is not similar.

Watch: Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun appear in the fantasy by the re-coming Kim Eun-sook writer. In this sentence, "The King: The Lord of Eternity" became the best anticipated work of the first half, with a great foundation not only for its solid content but also for the starryness of Actor and the topicality of the work. Now, if Actors melt into the character with stable acting power, they can meet the expectation of many people and be regarded as the best success in the best expectation.
The expectation turns into a weight to prove, and the works that have gained or gained popularity this year have caught the attention of those who see it at a rapid pace from the beginning. If the pace of early development is slowed down due to the long-term background explanation, it may be difficult to raise the audience rating again. Recently, as many works in various platforms have been formed, the waiting time of the viewers has been shortened.
