Hey Monarchs! I would like to thank you all for visiting, posting, liking, and lurking on this thread. "The King" has been quite a ride for all of us. Kudos to us for sticking with the drama until the end. This has been a community where we share our theories, opinions, and expertise. You have made this into a friendly space where we could share our interest for the drama. Your determination to read all pages of this LTE-fast thread is admirable. 

In the midst of the challenges in the real world, the story of the parallel worlds, though mind-boggling, has become our escape. It has challenged us to expand our views and understanding, which made us appreciate more the hard work of the entire team of "The King." Lastly, thank you so much for your time. The greatest gift you can give somebody something is your time.

 

Do stick around, to ease our withdrawal syndrome. I believe there are viewers who would opt to binge-watch the drama after all episodes have been released. Who knows, they might come across this thread. It was great seeing you all here!

But overall, it's still good. How should I put it. We're just get the most exciting part but they end it there like a long lasting cliffhanger. It's ended where it feels like there some more to tell.

 

Now that you put it this way I want season 2!

I apologize for making a big deal about Chief Park and the constant references to his storyline.  I can't find my posts anymore but somewhere pages ago I complained about how much screentime was given to him and how we don't get a resolution about it.

 

But @gwin were you able to understand Chief Park's story? Who were those characters he was protecting? And how does it all tie to the story? I mean yes his arc was resolved and I was so relieved during that scene (haha) but I don't really get the story up until now I need help

Is it also on ITUNES?

 

Oh I'm not sure about iTunes but I believe @Hikki said it's available in Apple Music  Are they even different? LOL I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT APPLE STUFF

Yes it is 

[rocher22]

 Yep, silent guys like Yeong always surprise. 

The King was more surprised with Yeongs secret affair than he was

surprised with parallel universes...

Ahh... mian!

Didn't realise the OST was already officially out...

The only instrumental 'My Love' - Gummy version

[1ouise]

Prince Bu-yeong's family explained:

Prince Bu-yeong's son is Lee Seung-heon.

Seung-heon's daughter is Se-jin.

Bu-yeong also has a daughter and a grandson.

The royals are first shown at Lee Gon's inauguration in 1994.

Then we see Bu-yeong's family photo.

We see the family again at Bu-yeong's funeral.

Things become muddled when Seung-heon is switched for a younger actor for the night of treason.

 

Se-jin, Seung-heon, Bu-yeong in 1994

 

son-in-law, grandson, daughter, Bu-yeong, Se-jin, daughter-in-law, Seung-heon

 

daughter-in-law, grandson, Se-jin, daughter, Seung-heon, son-in-law

 

Spoiler

Seung-heon in 1994 on the night of treason

(Se-jin was already shown to be about 6 years old)

Can you please explain this again? I must have missed the joke when I'm backtraking.

 

@Goong_admirer we were talking about the scene where LG and TE were spying at JY over the cctv. Netflix translated JY's dialogue in error. He was actually pissed that he lost a game of ladder and wasn't cussing the king.

It's also the same music playing when LG first kissed JTE in episode 5.  I can't believe they didn't include this.  So bummed.

 SAME HEREEEE. I love that BGM so much 

[Dramanoona]

Looks like this is not on the OST.

 

 

Why are all the instrumentals so dramatic and sad in the OST????

It wasn't a translation error.  It was TE's lip-reading, either her error or intentional teasing of LG.

Someone posted a screengrab where the translation read something else

The first one is NOT on the OST.

The second one is on the OST.  The title is "The Fantasia of Another Dimension"

 

Here's another one which is not on the OST (it's played in the background in the preview after Episode 10, when JTE was all bloodied and looking for LG):

 

 

And this is the one I was waiting for all this time, only to find out it's not on the OST (only the non-piano version is included):

Hehe. JY was indeed complaining about the guards losing the ladder game. JTE doesn't know how to lipread, she was deliberately teasing LG by taking the chance to cuss him out.  Woof woof.

Am I the only one disappointed that the OST they released did not include a lot of the BGM on the show?  The BGM playing in that beheading scene is not even there!  Argh!

 

The info that I found for the OST Pre-Order.  So not all of them are there?

All the tracks are released, what we are disappointed about is that certain cues in the series were not included in the OST.

Yes, the BGM.  Hmmm.... if someone can get more info about it.

[winnieho]

Phew  at last I managed to reach the last post as of now at page 919. 
 

@syntyche thank you for tagging me together with all the others. Appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thanks also to @vangsweetie637 who still remembers me from other threads a long time ago. 
 

I had a blast reading this thread and also really enjoyed this drama. LMH‘s visuals and acting was really mesmerising, and KGE was really spectacular. Both leads had crackling chemistry and made me believe in their characters love story. And their hugs. My gosh their hugs are just so... so... so... I have no words to describe them.  

 

I will still be visiting this thread despite the drama has ended. I’m sure there’s still lots of posts to read after I’ve posted. So yeah. 
 

That’s all I wanted to say. 

[Kim Rama]

I don't know why... I was drawn to this photo. Hahaha. Look at first photo. Look really closely what's underneath the table. Hahaha

 

Ooops,. Sorry wrong thread. Hahaha
