The King: Eternal Monarch - Episode 8

I'm seriously trying. The story isn't so bad. I feel the pace is kind of off, but that's probably just me. I remember when I started this, I was skeptical, because I'm really not in Lee Minho's fandom. But everyone said that this was great. I should have known that it would be like Heirs. Overhyped. But we're still not even halfway through and the main actress isn't so bad. So it might get better? We'll see.

I'm already halfway through the episode and there's nothing of consequence to say. Eunsup went out with Lee Gon for food, pretending to be Yeong. Then they met some gang that Lee Gon humiliate a few episodes ago. They try to fight against Lee Gon, so Yeong comes around and kicks ass. Some of the police officers recognize Yeong as Eunsup and he does his best imitation of Eunsup, to the point that everyone is fooled. Even Lee Gon, who draws a mole on his face to be able to recognize them. Seriously, so far, Eunsup and Yeong are the main good thing about this drama.

The police is making progress on the murder investigation. The main suspect isn't the girl's boyfriend anymore, but the roommate. Then they receive a call from her saying that she wants to turn herself in. Talking to the boyfriend, Tae-eul learns that the culprit had two phones. Or was it the deceased? I don't know. Whatever. Anyways, she wants to find the phone, because it might be linked to Lee Rim.

Meanwhile, Lee Gon and Yeong are recognized by one of the people that crossed over the other world. Yeong captures him, as ordered by Lee Gon. The guy won't say anything, but they deduce that he was one of the people murdering Lee Gon's father. He takes his phone and orders him to take his life.

Oh now I remember. Vaguely. I mean, there are so many characters in this drama and everything is just so confusing, since every scene only lasts like two seconds. The murderer was working for Lee Rim. She killed her roommate because she overheard her conversation on the phone with him. She uses the burner phone as an excuse to pressure him into taking her to the other world. But that man doesn't like to be played, so she's probably not going to have it her way.

Eunsup gets caught by Sinjae looking at Yeong's phone. He gets from him the location where Lee Gon is residing at the moment. He infiltrates the room, goes through his phone (why doesn't he have his phone with him) and finds the autopsy paper of the other Lee Rim. And turns out Sinjae comes from the otherworld. Then he gets caught by Yeong, they fight, Lee Gon comes, they blabla. They guess that he's from their world and end.

I don't know who thought of writing this drama like this? It's super annoying and hard to follow. We keep bouncing between plot lines ALL THE TIME. It's like... can I get a moment to let all that information sink in? Thank you. Well, I wasn't expecting Sinjae to be coming from the other world, so that was a good punch. For now. I don't know if it's going to bring anything interesting to the story.
