the king : enternal monarch

genre : romance

score : 9/10

tropes : parallel universe, royal × modern civilian romance, doppelgänger / alternate self, political conspiracy, fate-bound romance

a fantasy kdrama about an emperor from a parallel universe and a detective from modern-day korea. (korea vs corea)
magic flute. parallel worlds. doppelgängers. timeline mess.
and one evil uncle causing problems across dimensions.

honestly half the time you’re just trying to keep up.
but the visuals? insane. the romance? dramatic in the best way.

side note, i do think this is like banned in korea because they hint a war with china.
