Actor Lee Min-ho has reunited with writer Kim Eun-sook.

On the 7th, the production company Hwa&Dam Pictures (CEO Yoon Ha-rim) stated

that they have officially confirmed the production of writer Kim Eun-sook's next work, 'THE KING: The Eternal Monarch,' and Lee Min-ho's reunion with the writer.

'THE KING: The Eternal Monarch,' which will begin production aiming for broadcast in the first half of 2020, is expected to be a sophisticated fantasy romance drama that surpasses 'Secret Garden' and 'Goblin,' with writer Kim Eun-sook and director Baek Sang-hoon, who garnered attention for his sensual visuals in 'Descendants of the Sun,' taking the helm.

Furthermore, Lee Min-ho, whose next project has been highly anticipated since his discharge last month, will be making his comeback through 'THE KING: The Eternal Monarch.'

They stated, "This is our second collaboration since 'The Heirs.' He is an actor we trust. We will be able to see a more mature and deepened Lee Min-ho in 'THE KING: The Eternal Monarch,'" heightening expectations.

'THE KING: The Eternal Monarch' will be set in a 'parallel world,' a theme rarely explored in dramas.
