The new SBS drama "The King: Eternal Monarch" released B-cuts of the actors on-set of the drama "The King: Eternal Monarch".

"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 is written by star writer Kim Eun-sook who also wrote "Secret Garden", "Descendants of the Sun", "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" and "Mr. Sunshine".

The production released pictures of Lee Min-ho, Kim Go-eun, Woo Do-hwan, Kim Kyung-nam, Jung Eun-chae and Lee Jung-jin.

First, Lee Min-ho in the role of Emperor Lee Gon, a mysterious science-type emperor who faces a new fate beyond the parallel world shows mourning eyes and dignity at the same time. He smiles a soft smile, but when the monitor goes on, he becomes professional and his eyes turn keen to analyze his character.

Kim Go-eun in the role of a detective named Jeong Tae-eul who doesn't compromise with justice appears charismatic in her girl-crush stance. On the other hand, she's the spirit lifter of the set, but once the cameras start rolling, she possesses herself into Jung Tae-eul and puts on a good show of action.

Woo Do-hwan plays Jo Yeong, the emperor's trusted bodyguard and Chief of the Korean Imperial Guard. He has a lot of action scenes to deal with, but he's always willing to 'do it again' for the best take.

Kim Kyung-nam plays Kang Sin-jae, a homicide detective and is immersing into his character's composure. Jung Eun-chae switches to the youngest and first female prime minister of the Korean Empire, Goo Seo-ryeong, at one point but turns back into her normal self once the sign is given. Finally, Lee Jung-jin who is King Lee Rim, one of the most spiteful characters of his career, has eyes so intense it looks like he's going to gobble up the camera.
