SEOUL, South Korea -- Dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei believes the newly passed national security law for Hong Kong augurs the end for the semi-autonomous city.

After South Korean actor Lee Jung Jea sent The King: Eternal Monarch star Lee Min Ho a coffee truck to the sets of the SBS drama, the actor received a gift from another friend. Like Jung Jae, Min Ho's friend Jung Il Woo too decided to surprise his friend and actor with a coffee truck. The King: Eternal Monarch lead took to Instagram and shared a picture of the sweet gesture with his fans. The actor posed with the truck on the sets. 

The King: Eternal Monarch is fast pacing towards the finish line. With the episodes that aired last weekend, the plot intensified.

Lee Min Ho is making sure he puts his best foot forward with The King: Eternal Monarch. The SBS/Netflix series sees the actor marks the return of the South Korean actor from his military enlistment. The actor plays Emperor Lee Gon on the series. The actor shares the screen with Kim Go Eun for the first time. While the ratings in South Korea haven't met the expectations, Min Ho is leaving no stone unturned to deliver a memorable performance. 

There is no way to sugarcoat this. The King: Eternal Monarch hasn't been the best K-drama of 2020.

There are no two ways about it: Lee Min Ho oozes the regal vibe in The King: Eternal Monarch. The South Korean actor marks his return to the small screen after completing his military enlistment with the SBS drama. Although the K-Drama series is getting mixed reactions from fans, Min Ho still holds a special place in everyone's hearts. However, a BTS fan reimagined the series with the band's eldest member Jin. The ARMY member took to Twitter to share their views with a poster. 

While Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun's chemistry in the spotlight of The King: Eternal Monarch, fans are enjoying Woo Do Hwan's bond with Min Ho and Go Eun off-screen as well. The actor plays dual roles in the show. In the Republic of Korea, the actor essays the role of Jo Eun-Sup, a happy-go-lucky public worker, who shares a little brother like relationship with Go Eun's Jung Tae Eul. Whereas in the Kingdom of Corea, the actor plays the chief royal guard Jo Yeong who protects Min Ho's Lee Gon. 

has been struggling to retain viewers. The Lee Min Ho starrer Korean drama has been recording an unstable viewers' rating in South Korea. The SBS show recorded its worst rating over the weekend with the premiere of its ninth episode on Friday. However, the graph rose a little on Saturday, with the premiere of the tenth episode. Nevertheless, the most anticipated show of the year hasn't matched up to the expectations, bowing down to its competition The World of the Married. 

Lee Min Ho was pleasantly surprised to have received a gift from his friend, South Korean actor Lee Jung Jea. The Cheif of Staff star sent the actor a blue coffee truck on the sets of The King: Eternal Monarch to shower Min Ho with support. The actor took to Instagram to share pictures of his gift. Min Ho stood by the stuck holding a cold-brewed coffee to share a glimpse of his gift with his fans on social media. 

Lee Min Ho takes our breath away every time he appears on the screen. The actor is currently colouring the small screen in the shades of regal with The King: Eternal Monarch. While he has already won fans over with his imperial persona, off-screen the actor has left his staff in splits. The South Korean actor took to Instagram to share a video featuring his team of women. The video sees him and his team enjoying a swirl of ice cream. 

It is official! Lee Yeon Hee is walking down the aisle soon. The South Korean actress announced that she is getting married this year. The Miss Korea star is tying the knot to a non-celebrity. Yeon Hee took to her official fan café where she announced that she is taken and she will soon don the white gown to exchange her vows. As per a Soompi report, she revealed she has found the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with. 

It has been four weeks since premiered. The SBS South Korean drama series stars Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun in the lead role with Woo Do-hwan, Jung Eun-chae, Lee Jung-jin and Kim Kyung-nam in prominent supporting roles. While the series has been riding the troubled tides when it comes to the ratings owing to several reasons (including Min Ho and Go Eun's underdeveloped chemistry), there are five interesting aspects of The King: Eternal Monarch that makes the series worth your time. 

Love is in the air of the Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of Corea courtesy Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun. Through the last few episodes aired, love is blooming between Lee Gon and Jung Tae‑eul as they juggle between the two universe. While their adorable moments have been winning hearts, it seems like the couple is ready to take their relationship to the next level. The trailer of King: Eternal Monarch of episode 9 has spilled the beans on their love story. 

There is no denying that South Korean actors have one of the most attractive features. The actors not only are good looking faces but can also deliver versatile performances.
