The upcoming SBS drama is a fantasy romance series about the two universes of Korea being an empire and a democratic country. It follows the story of emperor Lee Gon, portrayed by Lee Min Ho, and detective Jung Tae Eul, played by Kim Go Eun, as they work hand in hand to prevent a crisis.

As seen in the new stills, it shows Jung Tae Eul in an undercover mission together with her team to catch a criminal. Dressed in a noticeable outfit, Jung Tae Eul walked with confidence down the street and when she came face-to-face with the criminal they're looking for. She exuded charisma as she quickly seized him.

Kim Go Eun added that she will work harder to put on a greater performance for the viewers. And she is hoping that a lot of people would anticipate the drama "The King: Eternal Monarch."
