carriekllo Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Don't think it has been discussed yet but I wonder why JTE didn't finish telling LG her 17 rules. I think they were up to only about 12/13? I was hoping he would recite them at the finale to show how attentive he was towards her. Also would have loved to see those seeds bloom in the in between place which JTE planted twice. In my head, that is where the flowers from LG were from 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatWhiskers Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Wow. Just wow. The BGM that was released is epic. I have never come across a Kdrama that has suc epic BGM. People might flame me but, as much as I was happy for the somewhat happy ending, I couldn't help but felt it was a bit flatten. They had such nice tension going on earlier on..I remember watching first few min of Ep1 and I was so hooked. The gun fight scene, LG standing as king, riding Maximus etc. I would still prefer to have TE as queen then both as time travellers. I think I would have like that if they could perhaps have a twist that TE was switch at birth with Luna (because Luna had cancer.. It is very possible... JTE mum had cancer), it might be a bit makjang... But if spin that way, add with some conspiracy.. It could well be into 20 or 22 episodes? Lol. Then we have more episodes!!!! Yes! Lol. The reason why I thought it would be nice if LG and JTE got married because.. It was implied like throughout the whole show. The uncle mentioned twice, lady noh was like.. That was what she always pray.. I mean, why deny good hearted people their wishes? OK, on a serious note, because it was repeated the whole time, I always thought they would end up ruling side by side. I need fanfics to survive now. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentQuake Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I woke up at 7:30 without an alarm...this is exactly when the Saturday episode would have been released. Every once in a while, my sleep habits are so poor that I end up on a different time zone. I think that’s happening - I’m on TKEM standard time. If anyone wants to keep in touch on social media, my Instagram is where I live most of them time. @Jesskakee 4 2 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seraphinazz Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 There are some more awesome BGMs that I wished were included in the album, just from ep 16 alone. Especially that piano version of Maze song playing during JY’s scene with baby LG. So unforgettable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netflix translated JY's dialogue in error. He was actually pissed that he lost a game of ladder and wasn't cussing the king. @SCSfanzSorry if I didn't make myself clear, I was referring to JY password on the laptop. I thought it was J0000000000000,but I didn't get the joke behind that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitania Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hello everyone! I have been lurking around for so long and finally decided to show up for the first time. First of all I want to say thank you so much everyone, this drama has been a ride to me and and I have read all your theories and explanation and of course the scandalous pic (I really love it) that made the viewing so pleasureable for me. I accidentaly stumbled upon this forum when I was searching for explanation in the earlier episode and I’ve never been so glad to crash landed here. Reading this forum has been a source of joy to me for the past 2 months. This drama is finally over! I’m happy for this ending but I still have this bittersweet feeling in my chest (maybe because theres no royal wedding LOL) Spoiler Yes, yes and yes! You don’t know how much your post shed lights onto my thoughts about the ending. It’s really romantic to have a time travelling date every weekend but I think it’s quite impossible in a very long run. I'm sure there will come a time when they have to settle down and eventually it would happen (the wedding and etc). But I think KES wanted to imply that they'll stay together till they grow old and for a very long long time. Forever. The wedding and royal heirs will depend on our headcanon Think of it as you have to follow your hubby overseas and leave your job and family since he work there. Except you have to went through an obelisk to another world. And you can simply visit back on weekend LOL. I’m pretty sure JTE father is more than willing to babysit the royal baby along with Lady Noh in KOC. Imagine the happy in-laws~ Finally I let out everything that's in my mind and heart... And soo this drama withdrawal syndrome is very severe on me, and I’ve been wanting to buy the novel version (or is it script book). But as you can see I understand nothing about korean Anyone willing to help me on translating the novel??? I'm willing to be the typesetter LOL 3 hours ago, Hikki said: Someone ripped that portion, and I think it is indeed not part of the official OST I guess I’ll ripped it myself and add to my music library then Same case with Goblin - the part where Sunny held Reaper’s hand and he relived her Goryeo memories. I think it's quiet similliar with 'Hold On' but yes the one you mentioned is more dramatic and epic. Sigh, I wish they included all the OST. There are some that I like but not part of the official album 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thank you to all the Chingus on this forum for all your thoughts, videos, gifs, pictures, etc. I unfortunately wasn't able to participate as much as I would have liked, however I truly enjoyed reading the thread whenever I got a chance! I am glad I stuck with this show till the end. It had its flaws and it has received its fair share of criticism. However I looked forward to Friday and Saturday, reveled in watching the BTS, enjoyed and still enjoying all the LMH-KGE "are they - are they not", checking out some of the actors IG posts and of course being a part of this thread The ending was all about LG and JTE and I actually liked the fact that they did not get married, but rather stayed in their respective universes and became a weekend couple that traveled and grew old together. I probably found the whole show- down with Lee Rim anti-climactic, but it was kind of symbolic JTE killing the present version and LG killing the 1994 version of LR. My one confusion in all this was how only LG, JTE and JY remembered the past and no-one else did? The biggest revelation was probably the kid with his yo-yo and his adult self. Order was restored and almost everyone's life turned out better. The way they showed JY and MSA were actually together was cute and Eun Sup and Na Ri. I also laughed when I heard about JY also having twin siblings in the end Speaking of Na Ri I wonder why she did not appear in the final episode?! Finally a special mention of Maximus, who became a star in her own way 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one confusion in all this was how only LG, JTE and JY remembered the past and no-one else Sorry to cut your post. I was feeling anti-climatic too especially we had the whole series being afraid of how much pain he can inflict to to others only to have him beheaded and shot alone without a single minion following him. I think the climax for me was when Gon finally met the real JTE, then everything from that point seems surreal. I always have the view that all of them remembered because they survive the time travel and together successfully altering the timeline. Thus the common understanding of the time traveller stories is that the time travellers themselves remember the time travel, but not everybody that is not travelling. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even from the first few minutes of ep 16 alone, there are many BGMs that were excluded from the OST album. - Scene from the beginning of the ep. With Luna and KSJ. - From when LG and JY had a convo after JY killed off traitor cousin. - JTE scene inside the in between world with LR. - KSJ scene with his mom. - Yes, beheading scene! This is a more serious treason than LR’s 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post syntyche Posted June 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2020 Beautiful Mathematics of "The King" (part 5) Mathematics of the Final Episode The final episode of the “The King” was straightforward – just 22 minutes into the episode, and Lee Rim was already killed. Spoiler Meanwhile, Lee Gon and Tae Eul have chosen to continue on with their own lives in their own worlds, and settled with their weekend rendezvous across the universes. Spoiler A viewer, who’s been following the rather complicated story of the parallel worlds, may find the ending seem lacking or unsatisfying due to the rather simple resolution of things. But behind the ending lies a beautiful solution. In mathematics, “beautiful” or “elegant” solutions to a problem refer to those that may be simple and unusually concise; or unconventional, intuitive, or insightful. Spoiler https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-mathematics-matters_b_4794617 In episode 5, Lee Gon said in his speech, “When I find a solution to a problem, I know that I am wrong if the solution is not beautiful. Whatever problem you are working on, I hope your solution and your answer are both beautiful.” Spoiler When Lee Gon returned to the night of treason in the final episode, he mentioned the words “Beautiful equations are always simple.” Throughout the run of the drama, the complicated consequences and problems brought about by Lee Rim’s use of the Manpasikjeok were shown. The solution to these is to close the gates, and kill Lee Rim. Spoiler With the drama attaining these solutions early on the final episode, it has come full circle – on the problem of the parallel worlds, a beautiful, straightforward solution has been found. Spoiler As the problems of the parallel worlds have been resolved, Lee Gon and Tae Eul continue on with their own lives in their own worlds, and settled with their weekend rendezvous. Spoiler This arrangement can be illustrated by the functions Lee Gon wrote in episode 3. Functions A (Lee Gon) and B (Tae Eul) have different natures, but their trajectories are very much similar. With increasing n, they somewhat behave like parallel lines. Spoiler Lee Gon and Tae Eul chose to continue on with their own lives in their own worlds. But they also chose to stay in their relationship – a harmonious relationship headed towards one direction. Spoiler They also chose to spend their weekends crossing the universes. To do this, they pass through the world-in-between, the place between 0 and 1. Spoiler This is also illustrated by the 2 mathematical functions mentioned above. When combined, the function converges, between 0 and 1. Spoiler Lee Gon and Tae Eul may have different lives, but on the weekends, they pass through the world-in-between, the place between 0 and 1, where they converge, and cross the universes together. Spoiler With this arrangement, no doppelgangers are killed and the balance of the parallel worlds is maintained. Thus, in accepting this arrangement, they have loved the fate that has chosen them, and they have found a beautiful solution. part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 11 11 2 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
