Still rather Blah even after 4 episodes.
Will skip this one.
April 26th, 2020 at 2:15 pm
SBS 18-1 used to have Eng-titles but now they don’t. I was sad at first but I am okay with it now because now I can watch MBC 18-3 without overlapping times. What I mean by that is SBS 18-1 would start let say 0840 pm and then MBC would start and their drama at 9:10 pm and both dramas were good. But now I just watch MBC 18-3 with Eng-subtitles. KEEP UP the GOOD WORK…MBC!!!!!
Gal from Redlands, CA
P.S.
Surprise me and make this Drama with Eng-subtitles!!!
April 26th, 2020 at 2:26 pm
End of ep 4, Kim Go Eun rides on Lee Min Ho’s white beautiful horse and both enter to LMH country Corea 🙂

May 10th, 2020 at 3:37 pm
The chemistry isn’t there between the two. I blame the script then casting.
What is worse; kdramas pandering to woke culture and pc correctness gives me the shits. There is a reason why there are no 5 foot-nothings in the NBA. FFS, why not cast a female with a demeanour we can believe can deal with the life and death encounters that law enforcement are faced with regularly.
That said, I’m not giving up.
May 10th, 2020 at 7:33 pm
love to watch it despite some negative issues..
May 11th, 2020 at 6:12 am
This drama is so boring, wasted the good casts and good potentials.
May 13th, 2020 at 1:58 am
This drama is so boring compare to the other dramas with the similar story like W, Alhambra and Goblin. No chemistry between the lead. The plot is too slow and predictable. What a wast of money.
May 15th, 2020 at 10:38 am
This drama was okay, but not great. I couldn’t even finish the first episode without skipping many scenes. I watch it mainly because of KGE and the plot isn’t interesting at all. .
May 16th, 2020 at 1:23 am
Sorry, but Lee MIn Ho was paired with the wrong actress. The king should have be paired with a more beautiful actress. He is too fine for the main actress.
May 16th, 2020 at 12:21 pm
So sad for Lee Min Ho…bad lead lady….
May 16th, 2020 at 10:46 pm
Drama become more and more interesting…..😘💪
May 16th, 2020 at 11:55 pm
the story is very well done and got me cringe throughout each episode, but somehow blowing my brain as well cause i cannot figure out which one between the real world and the parallel universe the other casts live in? where they were at? too complicated (lols), which questioned myself what mystery the king could unveil next?
however i find it bored and skipping some meanwhile the king together with the detective woman, cause their love story doesn’t seem make sense at all and too cliche cause we knew what happened next between them? cause we had seen such scene in other fantasy drama?
otherwise, cheers for all the crews and casts for making this so real despite the low ratings in SK, and i am ondering if such parallel universe really does exist? haha good job.
May 16th, 2020 at 11:57 pm
@MISS B truly agree
that would be better to find other actresses that really can pull the charm alongside the king.
May 17th, 2020 at 12:04 pm
one has to understand the role of the female detective, she has to be a toughie, smart, and still a woman the king is attracted to. also, the king has been attracted to her since he got hold of her i.d. – that’s what the story tells us, as that i.d. belonged to someone who saved him from lee lim when he was a boy. that in itself is loyalty turned love. the detective has no time to be dolled up in her role, but like any human being, she can fall in love and love someone in return. and if you remember the detective asked the king a few times how he would be attracted to her. the romance part of this story is secondary to the main plot of the two worlds, but presentation lacks, nothing intriguing, still am giving it a chance. as to lmh……….
May 17th, 2020 at 1:32 pm
im still love to watch it till the last episode For my one and only King Lee Minho😍😘❤
May 17th, 2020 at 9:00 pm
Great drama…..
May 18th, 2020 at 1:08 pm
This drama is disappointing!! I really cannot feel the chemistry between the leads.
May 19th, 2020 at 3:13 am
still my fave drama.#1 Netflix in different country dont care the rating…😍😘❤
May 19th, 2020 at 9:33 pm
So boring 😪
May 20th, 2020 at 5:46 pm
Sorry, but I’m more disappointed because it’s LMH. He does not match with KGE. She deserves BETTER. 😁
May 23rd, 2020 at 9:17 pm
soul mechanic is more interesting and easier to understand to watch.
This King story confuse me. here and there Corea & Korea. ha ha
May 24th, 2020 at 2:00 am
The episode 11 & 12 storyline went too fast! I like it fast too but the story didn’t make sense. The king knew Taeul was in danger and in his world but they didn’t show how the king found out. How did the king knew that Taeul came across his world.
May 24th, 2020 at 9:00 pm
This drama only starts to become interesting from EP9 onward, EP11 and 12 have really picked up the pace a lot.
May 24th, 2020 at 9:35 pm
@Remy, 62
The King asked the detective to trace Taeul’s doppelgänger in Corea at earlier episode. When Taeul was kidnapped and brought over to Corea, the detective saw her wandering in the street via CCTV and mistaken her as the doppelgänger and informed the King. After watching the recorded clips of CCTV, the King knew it was his Taeul due to her unique habits such as tying up her hair before a fight😅
May 24th, 2020 at 9:42 pm
The last minute of EP 12 really caught me in surprise👏🏼They should have made this drama interesting like this right from the start. I am now looking forward to watching the coming episodes😀
May 24th, 2020 at 11:58 pm
@63
I meant EP 9=EP 18; EP 11 & 12= EP 22 & 24
@65
EP 12=EP 24
May 25th, 2020 at 2:31 pm
waaaaah im so head over heels as always to my King LMH❤❤❤ and KGE shes so lucky😂😂
May 26th, 2020 at 11:07 pm
dreadful. not worth it
May 27th, 2020 at 12:40 am
i normally wait for a drama to finish its run, then binge–watch it to fully enjoy the experience. this time tho i was so excited about the two leads that i just couldn’t wait. i still enjoy it but not as much as i had expected. and i can’t help but feel sorry for the cast. There’s a reason why those behind the scenes clips on utube are garnering lots of views – because they seem to be having so much fun! Lots of laughing, flirting and joking around in between shoots. Chemistry galore!
Unlike their freaking characters. They always start the scenes with the girl teary eyed and the boy needing to comfort her. Then there’s hardly any light moments when they’re together, often talking about the problem they’re facing or bracing themselves for when they have to be apart again .
Usually with this writer’s hit dramas, one lead goofs around while the other plays the receiver, the serious one. like yin and yang. this time tho, they’re both subdued. Must be so frustrating for LMH, who seems to have come up with some new acting techniques which are really quite effective. It’s like they told him from the very start never to show any of his usual charms.
May 28th, 2020 at 12:59 am
The story line is good actually, but somehow I feel that the screenwriter other dramas much better. Maybe it because I have higher expectation from the actors (LMH and KGE). Although I’m not a fan of LMH, rather I’m a fan for KGE. I watched almost all of her dramas and films..I think WDH act much better than LMH here, coz I have watched WDH often too. Ohh dear, sorry LMH fans. It just in my opinion. ..wish this drama has a cool ending then ^^
May 31st, 2020 at 2:12 pm
love the twist..
May 31st, 2020 at 3:08 pm
The time and space plot is a mess. Doesn’t make sense. Slow storytelling from ep. 1 and then a predictable twist on ep 13. Good concept but fall short in the execution. Could have been better. If not for the great cast and amazing cinematography I would have passed. I think I just expect more. I still watch for what it’s worth.
June 2nd, 2020 at 8:21 am
I could not download and i have been searching 8r 8s there no way i can download it from the beginning episode?
June 2nd, 2020 at 8:22 am
I mean to say i have been searching for it
June 6th, 2020 at 10:22 am
OMG can’t wait for the last episode!
😭😭😭
June 6th, 2020 at 12:00 pm
I just curious. Who that kid infront bookstore? Is he also time traveller?
Feel bad for Lee Min Ho. Maybe because lead actress.
I don’t like this drama actually. Just keep watch it because LMH. I just watch until episode 2 then feel so boring . And I start watching back just to fill in my day. My first choice is alway Soul Mechanic/Fix You. This drama just give me headache. Hahah sorry.
June 6th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
love the twist of the story…kudos to LMH and KGE for a job well done in their respective roles and all the supporting actors Woo Do Wan😍❤
June 7th, 2020 at 5:39 am
I agree with Son ji @72. “The time and space plot is a mess.”
I am confused with who’s who and who are the mothers.
The writer had some big hits but this series is a definite miss.
I’m a big fan of the main actress so I continue to watch.
June 7th, 2020 at 9:42 am
This drama is so bad. The only thing keeps it floating is LMH fans. They try to push it all over social media and even bully others who criticize the drama. But it’s horrible drama honestly. I’m not surprised though. I have never loved any of this writer dramas. She is so overrated. The heirs and goblin were both very stupid drama. The heirs relied heavily on the good looks of its cast. But, there was no story or lessons. Just a mediocre drama with good looking cast. Goblin on the other hard relies heavily on its 2 main leads. The only thing I liked is the bromance between them. It tried to be smart with dialogue between both leads but I did not care for them or for their love. The lack of chemistry between them was killing it badly. Both male and female leads acted good technically but emotionally, it was empty. This one to me is her worst drama ever. No chemistry what so ever between leads and very stupid script that tries to seam intelligent when it’s actually very stupid. I don’t care for any of characters or root for them at all. Considering that how I felt with the writer other works, I’m not surprised. If it’s not for LMH international fan base (he is actually Just looks more than talent) this drama would be rated very badly by most people. Well, it’s already very badly rated in South Korea while being the most expensive drama of the year.
June 7th, 2020 at 2:24 pm
Those who say thats KGE is ugly. What did u expect? Someone extremely who like an angel? Shut up the bullshit man. Every human created by god. This is their job. Try to appreciate their quality of acting. Not looking at their face only. U don’t even know whats really their been through to make this drama success. My opinion on this drama, chemistry between KGE and LMH is really awesome. They really did such a great job. Im not a big fan of LMH but i find LMH is so attractive. Please support this drama till the end guys ❤️
June 8th, 2020 at 11:56 am
They are both try my fave artist now..KGE is simple and talented one the more you look at her and know all her drama and movie she is very good in every role she chose thats why the writer of TKEM believes in her,just like to LMH known for always very picky and experimental to his project.Im one of his fans since 2009 and im a kind heart when im reading such a nasty comments about TKEM.We are not expert well everybody has right to have an opinion.But not in a below the belt way.If dont want to watch their drama leave it than bashed it.But for us their fan will watch it till the end and support them for their next drama or movie projects individually im a shipping to them in real 😘😍The happiness they gives us specially to this pandemic Covid cant be described its limitless when watching TKEM and Woo Dowan makes me smile too.😍😍😍
June 9th, 2020 at 9:37 am
I just wana ask… why the episode mentioned here is 32 while elsewhere is only 16!? Can anyone explain!?
June 10th, 2020 at 2:09 pm
This is actually not my kind of drama. I’m watching it because of LMH. And I’m really confused of ep.14. But I’ll just let it go. Just keep on watching until its final ep. this Friday.
June 10th, 2020 at 10:28 pm
The King Eternal Monarch dram absolutely amazing , the storyline is very interesting , for ep 1, i act confuse but after watch till ep 15 it realy amazing !
June 11th, 2020 at 10:41 am
@Leon#82″ i think because officially there are 32 one-half hour episodes and are shown back to back, making it 16 full episodes. read somewhere it’s because of the ads during broadcasts. so in some web sites, they mention 16.
June 12th, 2020 at 4:39 pm
@tigerb #38 Sorry! Took sooo long to “Thank you” for answering my comment. I enjoyed watching SBS drama’s when they had Eng-subtitles. I wonder what happened?!
June 13th, 2020 at 10:00 am
this drama could have been better. The story is interesting and i love all the actors but i feel that their talents were a little wasted. The flow of the story is a mess for me but i finished the drama. The actors are really great and they all did well in their roles.
June 13th, 2020 at 3:18 pm
love this drama TKEM and actors /actresses especially LMH and KGU😘❤😍
June 13th, 2020 at 5:30 pm
In my opinion the ending is a bit like CLoY. The couple can only be together comfortably outside each “world.”
This drama would be more enjoyable to watch if we don’t have questions started with “how come” and “why”. It is purely fantasy.
Hopefully this would be the last violent, action drama for LMH. Please return to the romcom drama, Min Ho-ssi 😉
June 13th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
the ending is a bit disappointed, i could be better with happier ending..
June 13th, 2020 at 8:02 pm

June 15th, 2020 at 1:29 pm
I’m a fan of both LMH and KGE but somehow, they seem mismatched in this drama. KGE seems uncomfortable and I just wish the wardrobe team could have given her sharper or neater professional clothes vs. really drabby ones. Putting LMH and KGE side by side, one can see the big difference ie. LMH is always well groomed and styled in well cut, expensive attire vs. KGE’s shabby clothes. Police officers need not be looking like that! I was really impressed with Kim Kyung Nam’s acting. He played both roles so well, switching between being serious & skillful to being funny, a little wacky in his two roles. I see him doing being a good candidate for great things like a detective series like the Bourne Identity type.
June 15th, 2020 at 6:11 pm

Police officers need not be looking like that! I was really impressed with Woo Do Hwan Nam’s acting. He played both roles so well, switching between being serious & skillful to being funny, a little wacky in his two roles. I see him doing being a good candidate for great things like a detective series like the Bourne Identity type. And Kim Kyung Nam’s acting was also good especially the emotional scenes showing his wounded side.

While Kim Go Eun has her own charm and I do like her as an actress, I agree with the audience; she should not have been cast opposite Min Ho.
It isn’t subjective judgement because there is such a thing as beauty being objective as evidenced by the millions that travel every year to Europe to see some of the great works of art by Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and Picasso. And why Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren are names still that linger on the lips of so many even today.
So, why then did casting make such decision which obviously goes against common sense? A decision that reminds me of the ideologically possessed promulgators of political correctness and so-called social justice. If the decision to cast these two in the lead was ideological/political then the kdrama industry is f#cked well and truly.

I think both leads and rest of the cast did an excellent job, however I think the story line was weak, from episode 13 the episodes got weaker and weaker to the point needed skipping. and the end was meaningless. I do think both leads had great chemistry but the storyline was trouble.

it’s a 7/10. i was looking for more in the parallel worlds plot, but lacking. i think KGE is in this series because she was in ‘goblin’. as to LMH, his acting is still the same. i liked KDH in ‘my country’ and he’s also good here.

Do not like the story, as its too complicated. No doubt the main actor and actress were well known especially Lee Min Ho but because of this kind of story dosesn’t suits him at all, Best drama was City Hunter forLee Min Ho

Love the story bcs it is complicated)) and I’m fond of time travelling theme in general. It has its flaws but I appreciate Kim Eun Sook for this absolutely new experience that is so unlike her usual drama writing which I don’t like. The cast is great, especially main couple. Have never seen such chemistry from LMH with a girl in his previous dramas) Astonishing!

The drama always feels like it’s over quickly if Lee Min Ho plays. The best drama. Initially a little strange about the Korean kingdom in the modern era. But however the story is extraordinary, too few and tight for 16 episodes. It should be at least 24 episodes

It was funny at first when Lee Gon was wearing a Joseon crown because King Joseon was the brother of the king of China. Very cool when Lee Gon wear silla or kogoryeo royal crown. This explains that Lee Gon is a Korean emperor like Gwanggaeto

Kim go eun made this drama like a movie. I was surprised by his martial acting. Which makes this drama less enjoyable because there are too many kissing scenes. There should be more action scenes.
