Kim Go Eun & Kim Kyung Nam’s characters showed a deep friendship, but they’ve known each other for years and they’re now in the their mid 30s and he’s never confessed? What was he waiting for? At first I thought that he hadn’t realized his feelings, but when looking at flashbacks, he knew from nearly the beginning. I felt like he decided to take action only when he thought he was going to lose her and it was already too late.

The worlds weren’t too different, but I felt more explanation of the royal history was needed. Why was the older prince fully in support of the king, but his son wasn’t? Why did that son support the illegitimate heir when it wouldn’t have bought him anything? Did the Prime Minister turn evil just because she couldn’t become queen? I think if some of these things could have been fleshed out more then some actions would have been clearer to me.

Just a couple of points that didn’t sit well with me:
- the FL starts out so strong and competent but tends to fall apart whenever the ML needed to look strong. His strength shouldn’t come at her expense.
- Although they end up together, what kind of life is that? I mean a weekend vacation significant other sounds great, but it ignores the reality of illness and of sharing family and events. ( I kind of felt the same way about the ending of another drama where they get to spend a couple of weeks together every year. )

The King: Eternal Monarch

I wanted to love this one a lot. Lee Min Ho as a King with a horse in a science fiction/fantasy world - what could be better?

I liked it and may watch parts of it again. It’s hard to discuss without spoilers. The story had a lot of potential, but fell short for me. I did love Woo Do Hwan - he was excellent at playing 2 really different characters and he makes it worth watching.

Like Heavenly Idol, I think trying to develop & explain another world in just 16 episodes means you leave out a lot of important character development.

I’d say give it a watch, but don’t expect it to the be the epic it looks to be.
