I had to go back to my "Sageuk" (historical drama) knowledge to understand the conflict of Maximus identity  since the story is related to the Royal Family  .. and they do use a different set of vocabulary.

 

So this is the word that I heard:

 

nari or naeuri   Hangul: 나리 or 나으리

 

It is equal to Sir / Your Honor / Master 

A term used to officially address officials of the Third Senior to Ninth Junior ranks. It is also used generally by the commoners or lower class citizens to address noblemen.

 

Maximus is working officially (Seventh Grade Official) so that's why he is entitled to be called nari --> similar sound to Myeong NaRi's (JTE's schoolmate)

 

This definition is taken from this site - A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SAGEUK VOCABULARY

 

*** I appreciate it if those who are well verse to confirm it. Thank you.

I did hear it naeri as well. As I know from saeguk language. It means as sir, to address a noble person or from the upper class in the society. While the girls called as agashi or nangja sometimes.

 

This lead me thought whether the translation went different or literally changed. It means maximus is not a lady??? He is a gentleman??? Lol.

Lol do they not have anything better to do? We at least spend our time talking about intellectual topics pertaining to this drama and or discussing theories. All they do is talk about chemistry which is totally subjective. I love how they act as though their opinion should be regarded as a fact. The devil works hard but the haters of this drama work harder. Fine with me if they want to spend their time wasted on watching a drama they hate so so much lol. 

Agreed.

Spoiler

Don't mind them or even feed them with your attention. Just ignore them will do. There's more people who appreciate this work tho. I feel bad for the current controversy. You know if they don't show me those details complaints I won't even notice the faults. Lol. As I said a few days ago. I love the war scenes tho. Imo, it looks good anyway. Like some said, yes, it's a fantasy people. Sometimes they can't easily understand this part. They're not documentary or real history drama adaptation. It's a FANTASY which everything is possible. At least in my eyes, the fantasy does still look believable. Out there there's a lot drama with illogical theme but no one complain. Lol. I won't mention them as references but you may know them already. 

 

Plus... we do, at the end of this show we at least now understand what is basic science and the concept of Euler number which I never really know even in my school days.They teach us some mash-up literatures and more interesting topics here. It's good that not every drama can make us to study like this. Lol

 

About the flaws.. we know even they don't tell us so badly like that. But we keep watching and see those flaws as humor right. So just be positive and enjoy watching it. If you can't then go find something else which can satisfy you. That's simple actually. Right. Okay. Kkeut. Hope I still stay on topic. 

 

Is there any new stills for tomorrow???

 

P.S.

Spoiler

if i'm not mistaken, I read the article which says that they'll fix the scene and will rerun or via VOD. What does that mean? Will they really re run the old episodes with new edited version?? Hmm.. it reminds me of Korean Odissey back then. Tvn rerun the episode with better CG in the edited version. 

 

The thread moves in the speed of light, I haven't done reading last page I left and you all come back with 3 or 4 pages when I return. Wow. Respect!

Above all, in the last six episodes, Lee Gon (Lee Min-ho), who sang Tae-eul (Kim Go-eun), who had come to the Korean Empire, told the story of Yi Lim (Lee Jung-jin), the king of the king who killed his father, the night of his mother-in-law. The story of this deepened Jeong Tae-eul unfolded. However, the two who went to their respective worlds later found themselves in a real body testimony of Irim and voices related to the Korean Empire in the evidence, and were in turmoil. Eventually, after returning to Korea, Lee Gon-eun and Tae-Eul Jung regretted the reunion, and the attention of the two people was noticed.

 

In this regard, Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun are catching the eye by releasing the first date that started in Korea. During this date, Lee Gon and Jung Tae during this date showed their thrilling feelings with 'exciting explosive skinship' such as thrilling shoulder touch and heart-thumping eye contact. Lee Gon wraps Jeong Tae-eul's shoulders with a tense look, and Jung Tae-eul struggles with a relaxed look. Following this, Lee Gon and Jung Tae show their sad eyes and vague feelings, showing sad feelings. Interestingly, what is the decisive point that provoked the emotional sensation among the ‘Isang Sang-ryu’, which made the dating of the two people complicated and tee-faced dating?

Same here! I have all of their OST saved on my personal YouTube account, I am so glad another one will be released this week. 

 

I want to see how JTE acts as a girlfriend. Can't wait for tomorrow! 

[Joanna Alfson]

As for what I could see from the teasers JY and LG will cross over to ROK in the 7-8th episode and another thing is that LG will attempt to go after LL. LG and JTE are a couple now. How will her father react to that will be interesting. JY meeting his double will also be interesting. we will probably also see action and fighting and etc etc. I saw some LG action on the street.

"The King" - Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun's first date...eye contact, shoulder touch
 

SBS' Friday-Saturday drama "The King-Eternal Monarch" (written by Kim Eun-sook/directed by Baek Sang-hoon, produced by Hwa-and-Dam Pictures) is a parallel world romance in which Lee Gon, a science-type emperor of the Korean Empire who tries to close the door of the dimension, and Jeong Tae-Eul, a Korean detective who tries to protect someone's life, people and love. The main characters of the two co-existing worlds, the Korean Empire and the Republic of Korea, are once again reflecting on the true meaning of love through different love stories.

 

In the last episode, Lee Gon (Lee Min-ho) told Jeong Tae-eul (Kim Go-eun) the story about Lee Rim (Lee Jung-jin), the king of Geumchin who killed the emperor. When Jeong Tae-eul went back to her world, she was surprised to learn that the voicemail in the evidence she's investigating is related to the Korean Empire. Meanwhile, Lee Gon read Lee Rim's real body inspection documents. When he eventually returned to Korea and reunited with Jung Tae-eul, attention was paid on the future of the two.

 

In this regard, the revealed first real date in the Republic of Korea of Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun is drawing attention. In the drama, Lee Gon and Jung Tae-eul showed their fluttering hearts with "excited explosive touches" such as shoulder touches and heart-throb eye contact during the date. Lee Gon wraps around Jeong Tae-eul's shoulder with a nervous look, while Jung Tae-eul hides her excitement with a relaxed look. Then, they show their sad feelings and sad faces and worry about each other. Therefore, all the attention is pouring into the "strange atmosphere" that makes Lee Gon and Jung Tae Eul's quarrel date become confusingly complicated and the crucial key plots that evoke bitter emotions during this still happy date.

 

Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun's "Heartbeat Shoulders Touch" skinship scene was filmed at a park in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, in April. Lee Min-ho brightened the dimmed set with a reflector smile, while Kim Go-eun and Jeong Tae-eul's strong fighting spirit boosted the set's vitality. The two, who are somewhat different in height, began rehearsing meticulously to capture natural shoulder touch and eye contact beautifully on the screen, and when they found a perfect angle, they praised each other, leading to a friendly atmosphere.

 

The production company Hwa & Dam Pictures said, "Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun are sincere actors who do not forget to monitor thoroughly to capture the feelings of the Korean Empire emperor Lee Gon and the Korean detective Jung Tae-eul on the screen," and will deepen their hearts toward each other as the collaboration between their characters begins in the seventh and eighth episodes. Please wait and see how their feelings will blossom," he said.
