I think The King: Eternal Monarch series is a sabotage in Lee Min Ho's career. From Episodes 1 to 5, the build up of parallel universe is taking its toll and too dragging.
The music score is somehow similar from "Goblin" which I believe that there should be a uniqueness or a music that will associate the drama series.
I am a fan of Lee Min Ho and worried about his comeback. I hope the writer and director will do something to raise the ratings.
