Was The King: Eternal Monarch fantastic or a flop? We discuss why this Kdrama has our favorite scene of all time (hint: it involves a white horse), why Woo Do Hwan is a precious human who should be protected at all costs, and which plot holes bugged us the most (what was up with the red balloons?).
