Hwa and Dam Pictures officially announced Lee Min-ho's casting for Kim Eun-sook's latest, "The King: Eternal Monarch". The drama, which aims for a release in 2020, is a fantasy romance helmed by PD Baek Sang-hoon ("Love in the Moonlight", "Descendants of the Sun").

"The King: Eternal Monarch" is in the center of attention mostly because it's Lee Min-ho's comeback.

This is the second time Kim Eun-sook ("Mr. Sunshine", "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God") and Lee Min-ho ("The Legend of the Blue Sea", "Gangnam Blues") are working together since "The Heirs".

"The King: Eternal Monarch" is a fantasy romance drama in which a deity has unleashed a demon unto the world of humans, and that demon has opened the door to a parallel world. It deals with the subject of parallel worlds, which has rarely been covered in dramas.

Yoon Ha-rim from Hwa and Dam Pictures said, "Minor decisions are still being made, but for the quality and completion of the drama we plan on filming from later this year".
