Lee Min Ho is starring in “The King: The Eternal Monarch” and this was confirmed barely two weeks after he was discharged from the army. This will be his comeback drama, and it is expected to be another big project written by popular writer Kim Eun Sook.

Lee Min Ho will be emperor Lee Gon while Kim Go Eun will be detective Jung Tae Eul and Luna. On the other hand, Woo Do Hwan will play Jo Eun Seob, who is a public service worker in the present time Korea will be Jo Young, emperor Lee Gon’s bodyguard in the Joseon times.
