The King, a hot topic in the first half of 2020, will be released on the 17th.
sbs gilt play The King: The Lord of Eternity (hereinafter referred to as The King) is the work of Kim Eun-sook and the first work after the military discharge of Actor Lee Min-ho. It will be broadcast simultaneously with global OTT 'Netflix' with sbs in real time.
The King is a fantasy about the parallel cosmology of the Korean Empire and the South Korea. It is a romance Drama depicting the cooperation between the emperor Lee Gon (Lee Min-ho) and criminal Jung Tae-eul (Kim Go-eun) who want to close the door (to the level) against the demons.
The Confrontation with the World of Couples
The 17th is also the day when the first episode of the hot-screen film The King is broadcast, but it is also the day when the seventh episode of JTBC's Couple's World, which is in full swing, is broadcast. The time zone of the two Dramas is different, but it is two works that focused attention on viewers. In addition, The King is regarded as a work that will lead the Drama in the first half of 2020 due to the meeting between Kim Eun-sook, Actor Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun, and the Couple's World recorded 18% of the audience rating on the last broadcast and soon to exceed 20%.
The two Dramas are different: If World of couples is a thriller genre that can not miss every tension, The King is a romance that anyone can access lightly. Lee Min-ho said at the production presentation on the 16th, "The warm and solid script is the strength of our Drama. It is a fairy tale story that gives a positive and good energy drawn by dynamic characters. "
Parallel cosmology, isn’t it hard?
The King chose the Parallel Space Theory (the hypothesis that somewhere in an infinite Space, a universe similar to our universe will coexist) rather than a time slip. It is a fantasy that is set to exist in different dimensions between the Korean Empire developed as a Western Australia and the South Korea developed as a presidential system.
Lee Min-ho is the third emperor of the Korean Empire, Lee Gon, and not the background that existed, but the setting made by fiction. Other characters such as Woo Do-hwan are in charge of two roles, one person, with different characters. The Western Australia setting is a setting that has already been made in other Dramas, but it is not unfamiliar, but the setting is somewhat complicated. Nevertheless, there is a reputation that it is difficult to fail if Kim Eun-sook, a ratings guarantee check, is a writer.
Lee Min-ho, who reunited with Kim after the Drama Heirs, said, "After three years of absence, the artist has contacted me. In the Drama, Kim Eun-sook’s name is weight and influence, so he decided on his work based on trust and faith.”
Kim Go-eun is also the second work since Kim and Goblin, who wrote, "It is a Drama that is a fair World and has a good detail. There is definitely a Drama of two characters, but there are no two characters so diverse. I read it and I was confused, but it will be fun because it requires reasoning. "
sbs 'The King: Lord of Eternity' will be broadcast at 10 pm on the 17th.
