The King: Eternal Monarch 더 킹: 영원의 군주 | Looking into the Science of this K-drama

I'm late to the party for two reasons! One, I'm talking about this K-drama over a year from the time it became popular. Two, I'm publishing this episode later than my usual schedule. Still, I'd love to share my thoughts and hear your ideas as well. Here's my take although it might be quite late.

There might be SOME SPOILERS in this episode. Listen at your own risk ^^
