Aids Writing Choe Yeong-gyun (Columnist)
Lee Min-ho Kim Go-eun's starring 'The King: The Monarch of Eternity' has been a hot topic since then.
SBS gilt Drama 'The King: The Lord of Eternity' (hereinafter referred to as 'The King') was a big hit with the return of the best Kahaani Teller Kim Eun-sook writer in Korea before the broadcast. It is strange if Kim's new work, which has been writing only record TV viewer ratings such as 'Dawn of the Sun', 'Dokkaebi' and 'Mr. Shine' for nearly 20 years, is not interested.
Shortly after the start of the broadcast, TV viewer ratings are not getting higher than expected. Kim's writers usually showed a noticeable rise in TV viewer ratings from the beginning. "The King" started with 11.4% (Nilson Korea) once, dropped to 9.0% in the second, and fell to 9.0% in the third, and rebounded to 9.7% in the fourth, but failed to escape single-digit TV viewer ratings.
It is unusual to find that Kim's Drama does not record double-digit TV viewer ratings in three or four times. Of course, Kim Eun-sook Drama has a very high eye level, so even if you hesitate a little early, you will have a voice of concern. However, it is always a TV viewer rating happy ending and it is a situation to watch until the end again.
"The King" is a Drama that works together and shares romances with Lee Min-ho, the emperor of the Korean Empire who is trying to close the door to the dimension against the devil, and Kim Go-eun, the liberal South Korea Detective who wants to protect someone's life, people, and love. Kim has doubled his interest in writing a Drama with a unique material called World.
The early TV viewer ratings are attributed to the fact that Kim's unique ambassador is seen to be somewhat different, but it is considerably reduced compared to the previous work. Kim Eun-sook, a tit-for-tat ambassador, is generally done among characters, but has been very powerful in capturing viewers, especially among the male and female protagonists in the early stages of the Drama, before the conflict is ripe, between the male and female characters, and between the male and the female.
More fundamentally, it seems to be related to the problem (?) of the department and the department of inquiry if it is done in the "The King" expression. "The King" describes the characters of the two male and female protagonists in a separate way, as science and literature (I will not seriously consider whether these distinctions are accurate and universal). Lee Min-ho, the emperor and mathematician in the play, is described as a typical bipolar man who likes accurate numbers rather than ambiguous words.
When he declared that he would accept Jeong Tae-eul as Empress in the third episode and asked whether Jeong Tae-eul is sincere, he answered using the mathematical nature of the number 0 and eventually asked, 'Did you prove it?' In the end, the meaning of Igon as a bipolar human means not simply using the short knowledge of mathematics but a humanoid who judges and understands the World in mathematical thinking.
Mathematical thinking seems to be an attitude that concludes through the process of inductively proving and inferring from various information and phenomena in everyday life. On the other hand, if the 'The King' is estimated to be the ambassador of the three times 'Imagine the text and realize the science', it seems to mean the tendency to intuitively accept the World or reach the conclusion rather than the inference process.
In this way, Drama 'The King' is a bipolar type. It is clear that the intention to reach the conclusion of Drama through the process of gradually narrowing and narrowing the mathematical thinking by spraying various information is clearly felt. Sprinkle any Drama or early and mid-rice rice cake and finish it carefully.
However, 'The King' is ambitious to place a lot of Kahaani line microcosms more complex than rice cakes in various Dramas and integrate them into a unified universe at the end. Compared to the previous work "Mr. Shen", which was an epic Drama, the complexity of the composition was further upgraded.
In addition to the top Kahaani line, which has two parallel Worlds in Korean Empire and South Korea, there are a few Kahaani Worlds. In Korean Empire, political Dramas centered on Prime Minister Koo Seo-ryeong (Chung Eun-chae) are unfolded, and in South Korea, there is also a Drama of poverty and family history related to gambling of Detective water and Kang Shin-jae Detective (Kim Kyung-nam) related to illegal gambling investigation deaths related to the death of Jeong Tae-eul, a Detective.
In the process of going to and from the two parallel Worlds, you can also see fantasy like a clock rabbit, and mystery thrillers created by violence and secrets of Irim (Lee Jung-jin). In detail, there are many episode lines that viewers should remember and follow closely, such as whether Irim was a child who appeared as if he had killed or if there was another or not.
There will also be over-the-top viewers who track down the numerous individual Kahaani of "The King" without missing out and get fun and fulfillment in meeting the integrated Universe of the last conclusion. But on weekend nights, the door-to-door viewers who are looking for fun that is not complicated can be immersive and difficult to immerse in the early days of 'The King'.
The fruit-type Drama 'The King' is not a challenge to capture the audience in the future. The last 10 minutes of the Drama, which has a great influence on the final TV viewer ratings, will be burdensome to overlap with JTBC 's World of Couples', which is rewriting the history of Drama with the TV viewer ratings.
But Kim Eun-sook Drama. So far, the initial question has been embarrassed, and it has always been unbeaten and finished.
