[Drama 2020] The King: Eternal Monarch, 더 킹: 영원의 군주

[Alice Wonderland]

No wonder you're all so noisy! The awaited bts of behading kiss is finally arrived! Lol

 

I feel that the bts looks more passionate. I can't stop laughing when the pd says cut but they're playfully staying in that position and laughed.  I can't imagine how they all could do this without feeling anything!

 

I see that they're really dating. And you see KES is really a certified cupid for real! 

[lyrically aesthetic]

Tae Eul either travels in time or lives in the past with only memories or the present was altered because of the past that Lee Gon changed.

I watched the promo video I posted above and here are the scenes we have not seen yet:

 

1.  0:03 - LG and JTE facing each other, LG wearing savior's outfit, they're outside JTE's home

2.  0:28 - LG and JTE meeting again in that square where they first met, wearing same outfits, but this time it's JTE who hugs LG

3.  2:58 - PM and LR in a tunnel

4.  3:02 - LR and LG on opposite sides of the gate in the bamboo forest

5.  3:10 - LR and LG in that in-between place (you see balloons in the background), LG is wearing the savior's outfit.  EDIT:  On LR's side, you can see floating photos?

6.  3:35 - LG and JTE running towards each other (can't tell if this is in Corea or Korea), they hug,  LG is wearing savior's outfit. EDIT:  JTE seems to be wearing a ring in this scene?

 

The title card is now a little red  (around 0:35).  

Everything else seems to be scenes from previous episodes.

Hahaha for reals, if this couple ends up dating, I’m going to be awaiting the next couple writer Kim casts because they’re going to be dating too! Lol.

It says video unavailable in my region. What???? any other video link I can see this?

 

But thanks for recapping it all here. I see that most of those are scenes which about to appear next episodes. I really can't wait how they unfold every twists they've thrown all this time into a complete revelation. 

[graceyco]

I'm numb from all the bits we got today. SBS be playing us by dropping everything all at once.

I used a VPN and just set it South Korea as my region.

 

I need someone to translate what they're saying so that I can even form coherent predictions based on what we've seen, LOL

You know I'm a shipper for dots couple even they have to end up separate ways later.

 

And she's not just hooking them up but she's like a wedding matchmaker, lol. 

I think they're dating during this filming, I can see both of their eyes are sparkling with love. Others might say it's just a business and being professional at work. But nope, no one can really hide something like love, it's like pretty obvious. I don't expect them to go on public, it's their privacy and they don't need to share the complete detail to us. But if later on fate continues its plan then we might hear some news of them to tie the knot.

That moment when you manage to solve the biggest mystery of TKEM right after watching the first episode. 

 

I don't usually quote my own posts but I'm doing it to show how well-written this drama is, everything, all the hints and clues, have been there since the beginning. No stupid attempts of subverting expectations like GOT, only quality storytelling.

I think the writer is working with the same theory of time travel, that of a single time line,  as was J.K.Rowling in Harry Potter - Harry could save himself and Sirius from the dementors in The Prisoner of Azkaban because he already did it. The same can be applied to Lee Gon saving his younger self in episode 1.

Episode 2 has convinced me even more that there is truly a time travel and time loop at play instead of a third parallel universe:

 

• Lee Gon admitted that he is trained in martial arts which supports the theory that it's him fighting his uncle's men in 1994

  Reveal hidden contents

 

• Lee Gon actually talks about Einstein whose theory of relativity laid ground for time travel theories

  Reveal hidden contents

 

• Lee Gon walls and windows are covered in mathematical formulas

  Reveal hidden contents

 

• The focus at Lee Gon's watch

  Reveal hidden contents

 

• There is the curious fact that the court lady was hiding the talisman "clockwise" and "counterclockwise"

  Reveal hidden contents

 

• And finally, there is a huge hint in the drama's logo which incorporates clock and when this logo is shown in each preview a sound of ticking can be heard and the clock hand is always going backwards

As someone who’s rewatched City Hunter way too many times for it to be considered healthy, I’m 99% sure the masked man is Lee Min Ho. The height, the body type, nose,...it’s all there. Frankly, it looks like the whole appearance might be even a homage to his iconic look and stunts in CH. The stylist went even for the same black sneakers he wore back in 2011.

My personal guess is that it’s actually Lee Gon and not Ji Hoon, his counterpart in the Republic universe whose fate we still do not know. There might be a possibility of a third parallel universe but considering that it would complicate the story way too much it’s an unlikely option.

 

First of all, it was shown that LG is someone very athletic and the assassination of his father must have lead to him learning how to shoot and defend himself. Moreover, the masked man knows the attack would take place and appears to know the layout of the room (jumping through the window into an alcove to protect himself from getting shot). Most importantly, Lee Rim is his main target - the whole time he is trying to kill him.

 

Another crucial fact is that the man clearly knows Tae Eul, that’s why it’s unlikely that he comes from a third universe or that such universe even exists since it’s been established that people don’t have the same names in the different universes. Finally, the man comes either from a different universe or time and so far, only the holder of one half of the flute can travel between the universes.

 

If this theory turns out to be true and the man is really Lee Gon, it makes this whole scene even more special and poignant because it’s not about Lee Gon meeting his counterpart from a parallel universe but both his past and future self at the same time. And if so, has this “future” LG managed to make the flute whole again? Another interesting question would be whether the flute exists in every universe or only in the Kingdom.
