The King: Eternal Monarch celebrates Lee Min-ho’s return to acting after his military enlistment ended. He plays Lee Gon, the third generation emperor of Korea who is kind, sophisticated and handsome, which makes him the perfect ruler. As a child, Lee Gon witnessed his father killed in the palace. While the palace may seem to be the safest place in Korea, to the emperor it is also the most dangerous.
