No matter how many times I watch TKEM I still don’t know what it is that Tae Eul asks Luna to steal from the police station for her. I don’t know if I am being really thick but I can’t work it out! It can’t be the half of the flute because Shin-Jae has it. The only other thing I could think of is 

Tae-Eul’s police badge. I know some of you are rewatching it so please can tell me what it is- I will be very grateful!!

My understanding is JTE asked Luna to steal Lee Rim from prison. Because we saw here at the police station after.
 

Maybe anyone here have different opinion?

9 warmest bromances that will hold the hearts of viewers forever

 

The King: Eternal Monarch tells the story of two relationships between young men in parallel dimensions. It begins with the relationship between Emperor Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) and Jo Young (Woo Do Hwan), the head of the Goryeo Kingdom's bodyguard. Both of them have been friends since childhood. And Jo Young himself was extremely loyal to the emperor. In addition, there was another relationship between the two young men, as Lee Gon meets Jo Eun Seob, Jo Young's counterpart in another parallel dimension of the Republic of Korea. The story was even more fun as the two figures from different dimensions met.

3. Each Character Plays Two Roles

 

 

Carrying the story of a parallel world, namely the Republic of Korea, and the Kingdom of Corea, making the players in this drama play two different roles. Like the characters Jo Young and Jo Eun Seop played by Woo Do Hwan .

Likewise with other players who are present in two different worlds. The differences in each character create its own sensation when you watch it.

Thanks for setting it up @CarolynH, enjoyed watching and discussing with the group.  Really fun.

 

If LG married the PM, he would get an heir from her within a year and then promptly divorce her.  .

Or he would divorce her within a month.  She would sue him for half of his wealth.

 

There was a comment that LMH City Hunter's hair style did not age well.  I did like it and I still do like it.  It does suit him.

[CarolynH]

I think possibly the favorite scene from the rewatch party

cr:  JD Wander

 @Min2206 was commenting on how she enjoyed watching LMH run.  We all love the tight tight hug

**********

@syntyche let me think about the what if question.  Here is another one:  What if LG and the PM had kids?

 

Farewell King Lee Gon, the most handsome King in Corea.... wait there's only one King---do over---the most handsome King in the world

My take is this will turns LG life into thriller story. Since PM was ambitious and greedy, she might ended up having plan to killed LG to becoming a solo queen and have power forever

 

 

But since LG is smart he will

knew it and put her in prison before it happened

LG would spoil the kids to death while JTE will be a strict mom

I like it @ATW!   That's so true that the PM never cared for LG; she really wanted the title.

I think LG is smart enough to not even fall to the trap of marrying PM. Because, right, PM would only manipulate things to suit her way and eventually take over the throne. LG has so much class to put PM to her right place and make her recognize his power as king.  

 

Thanks everyone for joining the rewatch. Will miss these hugs by LG. And of course him and his unbreakable sword
