Kim Eun-sook really loves casting the same actors in all her dramas, but go with what works, I guess.

This trailer gives away nothing, not even how Lee Min-ho looks in his king attire! Well done in creating some curiosity!
Even the plot is so unclear. I really hope it will be good.

Allow me to SQUEE!!!! And even if it doesn't live up to expectations, at least we have Woo Do-hwan to cushion our fall.

I am Lee Gon, emperor of the Korean empire.

No!!! The emperor is Royal Hotness Lee Hyuk!!!

*runs away*

Woo Do-hwan and Kim Kyung-nam in a KES drama with LMH as lead...
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Okay look *before I get lynched* LMH does nothing for me, and I've just stopped trying to make myself enjoy him after like however many dramas because its just a sad time all around and I continuously end up salty. And I don't really care for KES and think she's overrated as a writer (sorry not sorry).
But I like WDH and KKN A LOT and the latter I have followed since he was a mere extra and is high on my "just give him a dang lead role already" list and I'm just sitting here thinking that I might actually watch if those two had lead but instead they have to act under LMH and that's just ... sad.

Color me excited! I've enjoyed most of KES's dramas even though I'll admit they all had issues and things I'd write differently. The trailer gave away very little but I did not see a 900-year-old god imprinting on a toddler, I mean high-schooler(sigh, same difference) so I'm good.

Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun in a Kim Eun-sook vehicle? Where do I sign?!

Gulp , 💕😍

Lee Min-ho gets bashed a lot, but he IS the actor that got me into K-dramas. I understand he's not the best, but they guy's got boundless charm and I'm pleased to see him back in dramaland. With Kim Go-eun & Woo Do-hwan joining him and a fun, promising plot, I absolutely cannot wait to catch this drama.

Need to know more to know if I should get excited. KES dramas is a hit or miss for me.
But I really liked that trailer.

I really like KES's dramas. I think she's the one who finds the good balance between usual tropes, humor, sadness, characters.

For the casting, from all her actors who already acted for her, she picked the wrong one. LMH is not bad but he's not very good neither. He's more a second lead for me.

For the rest, I'm really happy!

LMH even tho he is not the greatest actor of ktown but his screen presence his charisma are unmatchable to anyone the guy is god of hotness

It's a crime that LMH is the male lead and not the extremely talented Woo Do-hwan.

Yes, I said it! Fight me!!

KES is a hit or miss for most ppl but has been a miss for me! Heirs--I liked some aspects of Tan's character. DOTS--I liked it but that's it. No lingering feelings for this one. Mr.sunshine--The best out of all her dramas. I enjoyed this but did not love this one as well. So I think I'm probably not going to watch this one!

I still don't know.
KES - I only loved Goblin, although enjoyed DOTS and Mr. Sunshine.
LMH - As beautiful as expressionless. I only liked him in Faith. I've seen most of his dramas, because I keep trying, but I only get a "isn't he beautiful?" in my head and wonder why I can't believe him when acting.
KGE - I have mixed feelings for her. She was the only thing I didn't like in Goblin, but I loved her in Cheese in the trap and Tune in for love.
WDH - All in.
KKN - All in.
I asume production will be really good, so that will have me in, but...

To all the LMH haters here no matter how much y'all hate him he's still the most popular and successful Korean drama actors whose all dramas were hit. With whom writer like KES is working twice. Stay pressed 😌

Not a big fan of this writer, but my boy is finally back so - happy happy happy!!! :))))))))))))) And I like the actress too, so - more happy!!! ;)))

Y'all really hate LMH that much? Dramabeans comments are always mostly full of judgemental self righteous people so I'm not surprised. Now on to better content, I've been waiting months for this teaser and I am so excited. My king looks absolutely regal and his voice is heaven.

I see numbers and I'm thinking of King Sejong.

Half ass sageuk background stories seems to be the trend with hit dramas.

I understand the hype behind all KES dramas and also why they do well. But I hardly love them. I do watch and enjoy them but I find myself often critical of her style. She has improved progressively but it’s her trademark way of handling scenes and lines that makes me roll my eyes - all - the - time. Plus I Will always bear a grudge to her for coming up with Heirs which is a horrible excuse for a drama that got me to watch 20 episodes of Practically nothing and Ugly sweaters , and yet not missed a single episode. It was superbly ridiculous.

That being said, I like LMH, despite all the extremes of oppa-cant-do-no-wrong fan girls and I-hate-him anti-fans, in my honest opinion, he’s one of those who are blessed with both the looks and the acting chops - plus what we call screen presence, I can always recall the moment I thought to myself while watching him on BOF with that horrible hair : Oh my, who’s this dude. He’s gonna breakout and make it big.

He did and I think a lot of us can see why. It’s not just looks. I’m just sometimes disappointed that he doesn’t challenge himself with roles and takes the high profile ones that are safe and easy. Although most of the time I’m happy that he tries to make those characters a little more than they are on paper but it’s not helping any advance as an actor. My grips is maybe he just wants to remain a pretty face idol, i don’t judge but it’s gets boring ..Perhaps when he’s older he can be more adventurous. Let’s hope this one is better both on paper and in acting! The teaser is well done , what do you expect. KES and her theatrics dramatic moments - it’s a signature.

Hmmm. Let's dissect this comment section here. There are a lot of people claiming that all of us here are haters simply because we aren't worshipping at LMH's feet.

Most comments are simply along the lines of 'he's an ok actor but not the best' or 'I'm not the biggest fan of LMH'. There is absolutely nothing hateful about these comments. Just like how people are allowed to love LMH, people are also allowed to not love him. I personally find him just ok as an actor but I definitely think there are better actors out there. I also think he is much better than other actors out there. In the end I just find him meh as an actor. I'm allowed this opinion and despite what some of you out there think, this is not hate. And don't pretend to be high and mighty and above board because you support LMH. Some of the responses defending LMH have been more hate filled than those against him.

Let's keep things civil. Everyone here is allowed their opinion to either love or not love LMH. Let's be mature and accept that everyone has an opinion and stop trying to censor or shut down those who has a different opinion. If you love LMH then that's awesome! The great thing about DB is people come from all walks of life and from all over the world but that also means many different opinions. Being part of DB (and being mature in general) means you need to respect others opinions. Peace and comfort my friends ❤
