The King: Eternal Monarch
I wasn’t quite sure if I would like The King: Eternal Monarch when I first started watching it, mainly because I really wasn’t sure where it wanted to go at first. However, like the other K-Dramas on this list, it won me over. In The King: Eternal Monarch, we encounter two different Koreas in parallel worlds. One is a republic, or the Korea we know nowadays, while the other is the Kingdom of Corea, which is governed by a monarch.
Lee Gon, the king of Corea, one day discovers a door into the alternate Republic of Korea. He also learns that his uncle, Lee Lim, who murdered Gon’s father, the previous king, is hiding out in the other world. While on his adventure, Gon meets Jeong Tae-eul, a police detective whose badge he found on the day his uncle murdered his father. The King: Eternal Monarch has the classic elements of fantasy, including a white horse, romance, a kingdom, and an evil uncle. Add that to its great and funny characters and you’re in for a good ride.
