The Swoon all are my favourite drama, but The King Eternal Monarch is the best so far because it another leveled up of Kim Eun Sook writing. Some people might not like it because it is so different from other kdrama, but it’s a brilliant masterpiece. It is much appreciated by international views even Anna Todd loves it.

@@scorpioteez233 Nah, the king outfit with Silla's crown it's still correct since Kingdom of Corea is a mix of Silla and Joseon era (manpasikjeok is Silla's artefact). The love progression isn't too fast at all if people pay attention to the timeline. Remember time flow is different in "1 and 0 world". 1 hour there = 2 days real time.

There was no acting hole cause all of them was really good in acting. Best cinematography, plot and lines. Too bad a lot of intl viewers drop it because of lee byunghun.

I got into korean dramas because of Secret Garden. I researched about the Actors, Director and even the Writer. Since then I look forward to Writernim KES dramas. I really like when she puts me into an emotional roller coaster, one moment your laughing, giggling and next thing u know you're uncontrollably crying. I also like when she makes me feel anxious about the next ep. and makes me think and used small details to signify what's coming next. How ironic most fantasy dramas have happy endings contrary to writernim's dramas have bittersweet endings. Thanks to her, korean dramas come alive because of her amazing writing.👏👏👏👏 For me, TKEM is the most awesome drama she wrote. It's very deep and detail oriented and her poetry here is just like in romeo and juliet. I know most people don't understand coz I feel like their expectations are just like in Goblin. For some who's not into literature u might not get the message coz ur too focus on the acting not with the lines. TKEM raises the standard of korean dramas that's just like a netflix/HBO series that u never know what to expect and u end up theorizing what's the ending.

[@kai1208]

The king eternal monarch and goblin!

[@ashgeronimo34]

Goblin, Mr. Sunshine and The king: Eternal monarch are my faves. Goblin is on the top for me. 😍

[@vanessafeliciakalalo4365]

I love all her works but i think The King : Eternal Monarch would be on my top list. The King is so unpredictable and the storyline is amazing!

[@rachmaika8151]

Imo, best line from mr sunshine "don't shoot don't shoot. I'm captain eugene choi of the us marine corps. And this is my wife" epic scene. 🔥 Then the king eternal monarch " protect her. She is the future queen of the kingdom of corea"🔥👏

[@yujinieboomboom6508]

Thats line in Mr. Sunshine really 🔥

[@bama9215]

Mr. Sunshine is still one of the most underrated! What a beautifully tragic drama!

[@hyk4498]

Applause for writer Kim's work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I like every single piece of her work, but for The King... I just addicted to it, I watch it over and over, but still found details I missed before. All the lines are so meticulously written, and her choice of LMH and KGE is the best part of all. Their chemistry just melts my heart, now hopefully writer Kim gives them a happy ending for us! PLEASE 😆😆😆

Goblin descendant of the Sun and The King Eternal For Me is the best Kdrama That Kim Eunseok Made 😍😍😍😍😍

[@murtadhanasser3305]

[@bingaling5937]

I watched Goblin, Mr Sunshine and TKEM only. I love these 3 of all her works because of the leads. It’s like she writes this stories with these leads in mind because the characters they portrayed are just perfect for them. I also love her dialogues on these dramas very poetic and theatrical. Although each one is different and excellent I love TKEM the most because of the storyline. It is inculcated with romance, humor, art,science,math,politics,literature,love,family, friendship,career,history and just being a good citizen of country or Kingdom. It’s a story that is unpredictable and interesting to watch. It’s a complete package of all the genres rolled into this drama TKEM plus the exuding natural chemistry of the two leads is just perfect for me. It is actually my number 1 or top Kdrama I watched for all time.

[@areebajahan4718]

Watch descendants of the sun too You will find rewatching it again

[@VegaEridani]

Let's not forget the best bromance line of all time - "I'll go with you, wherever that battlefield may be." - Jo Yeong to Lee Gon, TKEM

[@sussyarcenal9794]

Kim Eun-Sook is beyond brilliant. She's a genius! I love all her works. She's the best, not just in this world but also in all parallel universes. She deserves to be recognized more and be respected even more. I stan a queen. ♥️

[@sarahxxxx5800]

For me, mr sunshine is the truly masterpiece. The storyline make you cant move on till today. I like all of them. But mr sunshine have show me that they dont need kissing scene or any passionate romance scene to show their love and sacrifice towards each other. In fact, the story is realistic based on the historical event that happen in korea before. This is the best kdrama ive been watch, the cinematography, storyline, cast, the ost and so many more that i cant describe why im so in love into it. Though the drama not highly known like goblin or dots. But still, it is the best for me. No doubt every single of her work is masterpiece. But mr sunshine just show me some best side of historical drama and through it ive just study a lot about korean history such as about righteous army or what really happen in korea in 1900. For those who doest watch it yet. Please watch it. Fyi, my brother also cried and cant move on from watch it. So no doubt its good.

[@inesdecarcel]

TKEM is my favorite so far but I'm hoping for a happy ending.

[@intannur4122]

The king eternal monarch the best kdrama everrr!!!

[@suyyus9357]

For me the most easiest storyline of Kim Eun Sook dramas are Secret Garden, The Heirs and Descendent Of The Sun. But still these dramas were also very exciting to watch as she put a lot of memorable yet exciting scenes for the viewers. As for Mr Sunshine, Goblin and The King Eternal Monarch, these dramas are very impactful to me until now. Mr Sunshine had a sad ending, however the plots was arrange beautifully along the sad storyline. Goblin had leave me in quite bombastic feeling where the cinematography, storyline and perfect chemistry from all actors and actress. It was really funny, sad and beautiful at the same time. This is epic fantasy drama from her. The last one is The King where it mesmerize me for each scene beautifully. This is the masterpiece of her where most of people around the world thinking like crazy about the theories inside the drama. But the most impactful thing for me about The King is when it's teaching you what is the real meaning of fate. For the first time a drama had made me think that each of human have their own fate that choose them. So it is our choice either to embrace our fate or not. And the actor and the actress chemistry is superb in here. Honestly I have fall in love very deeply with Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun deep love Kim Eun Sook is indeed a one in million writer who have excellent brain cells and imaginations.

[@bagashayujatmiko9855]

As for Mr. Sunshine, the story teach us about the real meaning about "if we want something, we have to fight and pray for it". Fight for love ones, fight for family, women fight through norm and rules, men fight through social caste, fight for country.

[@AmeliaCaroline]

my no.1 ofc THE KING!! such a masterpiece! 2. Goblin 3. Mr. Sunshine 4. DOTS 5. Secret Garden 6. The heirs

THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH: hook, line, sinker. SO SO OBSESSED WITH It right now, have so many theories myself and so excited to read other theories as well.But so sad as there is only 4 episodes left and i am really hoping for a blast ending that ll result Lee gon and taeul having twins :) :) storyline: oh god!!!! beyond great. and of course my leemin ho and kim go eun and all cast and crew, you all rock even amidst covid chaos, you all are doing a great great job i usually dont write comments but i am sad that TKEM is having such a low rating in korea nevertheless TKEM is the best GO GO TKEM, LEE MIN HO, KIM GO EUN

[@breadpudding1790]

ALL OF IT IS ART but goblin and the king are probably the best yet 😭👍🏻

[@aoharu_j]

please writer-nim, I’m begging you to have TKEM end like Secret Garden, a perfect bow tie happy ending, up until now no drama has satisfy me with a beautiful ending than Secret Garden, with all her history of Story she got Happy Endings for SG, DOTS, Heirs, an Open Ending for Goblin, and a Sad Ending for Mr Sunshine. I’m afraid for the possibility of sad ending for TKEM

[@jessemaricarlon1246]

The fact that she was the writer of Mr. Sunshine really proves that she's one of the best writers in her time

[@syahirahzahari998]

Mr Sunshine is the greatest masterpiece KES have written, i still cannot move on from Mr Sunshine.

[@potatoxin7095]

Secret Garden and Goblin is my fav masterpiece by her, but I hv to admit The King is something new from her. She does lot of unexpected things there. The most mindblowing piece wrote by her. Though Goblin and SG's plot is my type plus their main casts chemistry is solid compared to The King

[@karonitacitra4554]

I hope TKEM ends with a happy ending. Judging by Kim Eun Sook last drama, almost everything ended with sad ending. Please let The King be happy with Letnan Jeong Tae Eul.

[@astrzkh9932]

HOPEFULLY 😭

[@istrikimnamjoon]

[@kdramamama7599]

in all of the kdramas i watched, tkem has the most beautiful ending

[@happyrose3801]

TKEM - Mindblowing plot. I love that I can make up theories and then it will all go to waste because of Kim Eun-Sook's brilliant mind 😂 Goblin - This drama is definitely one of my faves. All of the actors portrayed their character well. Amazing and unique storyline and fr the feels I got from this drama is extraordinary. The OSTs are sublime! Mr. Sunshine- If you prefer a great storyline, superb award-winning underated actors, mindblowing cinematography, this is the one for you. Honestly, this drama exceeded my expectations in k-dramas. This is the epitome of an epic series. I honestly can't move on and fr I legit had goosebumps while watching scenes from this drama because it feels like I'm watching a movie 😂 This is Kim Eun-sook's best work yet and y'all are sleeping on this masterpiece.

[@bagashayujatmiko9855]

Seriously i don't know the main actors in Mr. Sunshine except Yoo Yeon Seok, even that was the first time for me to know Byun Yo Han so i purely watched that because of the scriptwriter and director. And this drama didn't dissapoint me. Even i feel so satisfied watched that drama.

[@happyrose3801]

This is so true. I also didn't know the main actors for Mr. Sunshine since they are not well-known internationally compared to the actors of Goblin and TKEM. I love Kim Eun-Sook's works and thought that Goblin was her best until I found Mr. Sunshine 😍 Glad I've researched about her works and discovered this epic series! This is still my best kdrama ❤️
