The King: Eternal Monarch Episode 6

Hmmm, I'm still very hit and miss with this drama...just not feeling the love vibes/chemistry between Tae-eul and Lee-gon. They are both amazingly talented when it comes to acting as I've seen their previous works, but here it feels like it jumps from strangers with a bit of curiosity to suddenly deep feelings for each other...just feels so odd, like that first kiss seemed completely out of the blue to me,even by kdrama standards, but hey could just be me. Gon's personality seems too calm as well, tho seeing as he's playing a modern day King, I can understand the need to come across as composed all the time. Still, feels lacklustre...something missing.Loving Do-hwan's scenes switching from one personality type to the other, wowzers, such a star! <3Hats off for the soundtrack too. Really enjoying the music. Fits well. Story wise, well let's see what unfurls...

I thought this episode was pretty much perfect. Sincere, pure attraction between the two leads with a splash of comedy here and there. The mystery is unravelling nicely. It's unique in the sense that the viewers are pretty much on the same page as the heroine rather than knowing exactly what's happening or about to happen and having to shout at the leads to get their act together. The only thing that prevented me from rating this episode as a 10, is a bit of confusion I have with the whole time travelling jazz. Boong Do mentioned he re-appears in modern day Seoul at the same location he left it at when he uses that talisman, but then why on earth did he manage to appear at the park where she was waiting for him? Shouldn't he have appeared inside the shower box again considering the fact that, that is where he left for his own world previously? The same for when he appeared the second time in the forest on horseback. Surely he would have appeared in the room filled with books, scripts etc where they planned to film the drama seeing as that's where he went to return back to his time period the first time? I may have just missed something and am merely being dense, but it doesn't quite make sense and has left me puzzled :S.

As mentioned previously, first episodes rarely hold the whole attention of viewers consistently throughout, so ignoring that I'd say it was a decent first episode. I particularly liked how it started off with the split screen and the simultaneous action of the leading pair both in their respective time periods. It definitely had it's fair share of comedic moments too (the gutter yelling scene was priceless! xD). All in all, a well thought out start.
