Shows involving time travel are always tricky to pull off correctly. From plot holes and convoluted lore to stories rife for contrivances and confusion, The King: Eternal Monarch begins with a fair amount of confusion before righting itself and becoming something wholly engrossing and highly enjoyable. Between parallel worlds and a love story anchoring everything together, this hugely popular Korean drama is helped by a returning K-Drama Royalty Lee Min-Ho who fronts this sci-fi series and helps add a lot of charisma.

The World of the Married took K-Dramaland by storm becoming one of the most talked about dramas of 2020, overtaking JTBC’s Sky Castle on digital mentions and cable viewership ratings. Based on the British series Doctor Foster- A Woman Scorned by Mike Bartlett, the drama sometimes confounding; other times it was saddening and there were times when it was extremely frustrating. Nonetheless, it was a highly satisfactory watch and worth all the attention. Starring Kim Hee Ae, Park Hae Joon and Han Seo Hee in lead roles. If you’re looking for a modern Makjang this is it.
