Fans shared their hopes that their newfound ship - MinEun or LeeEul - will progress even after the show ended. 

It will be recalled that the first half episodes of the drama series "The King: Eternal Monarch" encountered criticisms - from its production setting and commercialism - but this didn't stop the viewers from supporting the show.

Renowned screenwriter Kim Eun Sook made a different twist in the fantasy-romance series. The drama gained unexpectedly low ratings in Korea due to culture and the execution of the plot, but it earned continued popularity around neighboring Asian countries. Netflix broadcasts the series globally in Hongkong, Singapore, Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand. Eventually, it ranked first on Netflix.

King Gon (Lee Min Ho) and Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun) didn't hit it off at first, but their slow-burn love story flowed just perfectly, making the viewers feel the romance come naturally.

We know you're missing these two, so let's take you back to your not-so-distant memory and watch the scene below.

Meanwhile, Woo Do Hwan's Instagram account (@wdohwan) also increased: he now has 2.8 million followers. Kim Go Eun's account (@ggonekim), on the other hand, has 3 million followers and counting.
