The combination of star writer Kim Eun-sook, Korean star Lee Min-ho and popular actor Kim Go-eun was together in hot anticipation before the airing. But the work that opened the lid showed only their own Meru.
sbs gilt drama 'The King: Monarch of Eternity' (hereinafter referred to as 'The King') ended its 16th episode on the 12th. The stories that had been unfolding have run toward one point, and I have had a happy ending, but I still have bitterness.
"The King" depicted the story of Lee Min-ho, the emperor of the Korean Empire, who is destined to meet in a huge Worldview called parallel World, and the detective (Jeong Tae-eul) of the Republic of Korea. In the meantime, Kim Eun-sook, who produced mega-hit works, has written a story and has spread the story even further.
But the Worldview, which should tightly surround 'The King', was loose, and it was not enough to dissolve the esoteric concept of parallel World in the melodrama. The loopholes that were revealed everywhere were so prevalent that the name of star writer Kim Eun-sook was overshadowed, and the old-fashioned settings that could not melt the changing view of the times added disappointment.
The actors also did not show off their skills in the lost works. Lee Min-ho, who chose 'The King' as his first work after his discharge, got a criticism that he showed an undifferentiated performance from his previous works, and the main actors also showed a poor performance because they could not realize the characters in parallel World in detail.
In addition, 'The King' once again bought a ponytail with an explicit PPL, and there was no end to the noise such as the past affair of the early performers starting from the controversy. Also, until the end of the emergency meeting, which even the cast did not know, it left a bad impression on the public.
As the expectation was great, 'The King', which had to be criticized more harshly than other works, is expected to be remembered as a work that has suffered the risk of a famous feast.
