The King: Eternal Monarch is a Korean drama series created by Kim Eun-suk and directed by Baek Sang-hoon. The show premiered on Netflix in April 2020 and quickly became popular among fans of the genre. The show features a stellar lead cast including Lee Min-ho, Kim Go-eun, and Woo Do-hwan, who deliver outstanding performances.

The story follows the life of Lee Gon (played by Lee Min-ho), who is the emperor of the Kingdom of Corea. Lee Gon is a charismatic monarch who is loved by his subjects, but is haunted by the memory of his father's murder. He is determined to solve his father's murder and bring to justice those responsible while keeping his kingdom safe from the threats posed by his enemies.

Lee Gon has a guardian named Jo Yeong (played by Woo Do-hwan), who is fiercely loyal to him and always tries to protect him. One day, Lee Gon discovers that there is another parallel universe that exists alongside his own. He soon starts to travel between these two universes and meets Jeong Tae-eul (played by Kim Go-eun), a police officer from the alternative universe.

The two worlds are vastly different, with different governments, currencies, and even different historical figures. Lee Gon is fascinated by the other universe, and soon falls in love with Tae-eul. However, their love is tested by the forces that seek to keep the universes apart.

The show is a mix of romance, action, and drama, and is notable for its visual effects and cinematography. The creators have paid a lot of attention to the details of both universes, and this is evident in the costumes, sets, and makeup.

The show has several subplots, each with a different storyline and set of characters. One subplot involves a man named Lee Lim (played by Lee Jung-jin), who is seeking to overthrow Lee Gon and take the throne for himself. He is a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Another subplot involves a young girl named Luna (played by Kim Kyung-nam), who is a criminal in one universe but a victim in the other. Luna's character arc is intriguing, and the audience gets to see how her actions in one universe have unintended consequences in the other.

Another interesting subplot involves the relationship between Lee Gon and Tae-eul. They come from different worlds and time periods, and their love is tested by the challenges they face. Their romance is heartwarming, and audiences will root for them throughout the show.

Overall, The King: Eternal Monarch is an excellent show that combines romance, action, and drama into a compelling story. The visuals and cinematography are breathtaking, and the acting by the lead cast is outstanding. The show also explores themes such as parallel universes, fate, and the consequences of actions taken by individuals. It is a must-watch for fans of the K-drama genre, and will not disappoint.
