In screenwriting, there are typically 6 stages to a character’s development.

I’m going to keep this character analysis of Tae Eul from ep 1-7 *REAL SIMPLE* for those who can’t seem to grasp the growth of a character & Kim Go Eun’s skill in executing this! #TheKingEternalMonarch
1. In Her Own World

We are introduced to Tae Eul in her world, doing her thing, living in her own reality. She is a critical thinker, fighter, problem solver & amazingly good at what she does. She is fiercely strong, beautiful, & bold.
2. The Conflict

A strange man is introduced to her world. Being that Tae Eul is all about facts, ethics & reality, she is convinced he’s delusional & refuses to take his word for it. She tries to prove it in every single way by processing evidence to show that she is right.
3. Skepticism & Curiosity

We begin to see Tae Eul's inner battles she begins to have with Lee Gon- the tug of war of whether she should believe him or not. The evidence she provided is backfiring on her now.. could he be telling the truth? She can't stop thinking about him.
4. 1 foot in, 1 foot out

She’s invited into Lee Gon’s world & realizes he’s been honest the entire time. Her heart begins to soften towards him & she slowly starts to believe him. There’s an attraction there but even still, she holds back & knows she must go back to her reality.
5. Confession & Reality

We hear her confession; her world has become slightly rounder. We are left wondering HOW and IF any of the experiences she went through has changed her, especially after being in Lee Gon’s world. She cannot stop thinking about him 😧
6. The Journey Complete

Lee Gon finally visits her. Similar to Lee Gon, we too are unsure of how she feels. Finally, our questions are answered when he simply asks her... have you been waiting for me?

Her walls have finally come crashing down ❤️#The#TheKingEternalMonarch
