First off I'm going to say it: the actors are ugly. Must have worked for free or were the family of the director. And their characters are too stupid to be anything above 80 I.Q., and they're so clueless we want the monsters to kill them quickly and PAINFULLY. DO YOU WANT TO BE ANGRY? Nah, you don't want to be that angry. Avoid this like Covid 19. Anyone who rates this film over 1 is obviously bribed.
I'm a real person in America -- not a bot or paid-for reviewer. I meant every one of the ten stars I'm giving the series -- so far.
This series just is knocking me over. I sure hope this continues. I actually check the time while watching only to be "sad" that the end of the episode is WAY TOO CLOSE NOW. This begins at the five minute mark. Heh.
I love kdramas, but whoa, this one steps it up. The richness of possible plots allures when two whole dimensions are to be explored. Talk about doubling down on kdrama's well known standard dynamics -- two versions fully sussed.
The personality of the King is so well written and the actor nails it. The "BABE" is just perfect. Not a "doll face" sweetie pie, but a mature AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN worthy of a King. She snarks at the King and melts our heart with her innocence. Nice.
If possible, don't view the series until it has all been streamed so that you can binge on the entire set going without food and water and sometimes even oxygen when you hold your breath during the viewing.
12 Episodes in, I'm still can't wait for the next episode. To help me suffer less I've watched all the episodes twice. But it wasn't enough. Am now on a two day binge -- doing the whole series from scratch to today, and HOO WEE did I learn a lot more. I see now I should have BEEN EVEN MORE APPRECIATIVE. This thing's got great writing . . . and everything else. Most kdramas have about four to ten relationships that need to be resolved to a higher clarity, and this makes for some hard slogging to "keep all subplots fresh so that the viewer always knows who thinks what about whom," but The King's writing effortlessly keep us updated -- we don't have to "study." And the writer has to keep us hep about each character TWICE! It's quite a mastery of juggling. At this point in the series, I have zero idea of how it will end. So many possibilities! And THEY GOTTA JUST GOTTA START RIGHT NOW ON NEXT SEASON. This is a winner. Series wrap-up IT'S A TOTAL WINNER. So good, I watched the series from the first episodes THREE TIMES because I couldn't stand waiting for the next episode.

It just is so hard to see how ALL WRITERS IN HISTORY so badly write what children will do. The sheer stupidity of the adults who fail to be thorough and the besmirching of children everywhere with these characters illogical stunted emotionalism.
It forces the viewer to scream inside one's skull -- TELL THEM THAT. TELL THEM THIS. Take them there. Show them. Etc. Frustration level in this film reached red-line.
I rate it a seven because of production values, but the script is bad and the ending was not twisty as much as it was more of the same stupidity of supposed children characters.
Writers are kid haters? WTH?
