Lee Min Ho returned from the army in April and the first thing that was confirmed as he gets back to his work as an actor was a drama. It made news as it will also mark his reunion with “The Heirs” writer Kim Eun Sook.

At that time, except for the title which is “The King: The Eternal Monarch,” no other specific details were released, but fans are already excited about it. For months after his discharge, the actor then worked on endorsements and had interviews with magazines but still, there is no update about the movie.
