It's also popular in the other gulf countries such as UAE and Saudi Arabia I saw it on twitter trends and google trends

 

I Quote myself here from yesterday.

 

I said this yesterday without seeing the UAE library just by twitter and google trends but look now it ranks in the UAE I knew it was trending there weeks before I saw this ranking ever.

 

 

It also ranks number 1 in Qatar

I am on episode 15  and I wanna ask what did JTE ask Luna to do and why did she send her into the police station? She wanted her to get something for her? 

 

i think she was asked to steal LR.

Asked to steal LR? Which means it was a plan B if SJ refused to agree to let her enter the portal?

 

Yes. TKEM deserves this but I can't help feel that even they themselves never assumed to this extend. Sometimes things like that happen where something caughts fire and turns into wildfire

It was part of her plan and it was not only LR but also the Flute. She wanted them both so that she can enter the portal and undo Lee Gon from sacrificing himself

yes, as @Joanna Alfson wrote, the plan was to steal LR and the flute as to intervene if LG ends up sacrificing himself  that’s why we see LR with TE in the between world during episode 16. 

 

TKEM was always well received internationally but domestically, it was criticized from details to expectations. It makes me happy to see it is being received well around the globe. What makes me more upset is that only towards the ending did viewers begin to see what TKEM was about and ratings began to go up. It’s like putting a puzzle together. When it’s still in pieces, it’s not beautiful yet. When it’s almost completed, the beauty is finally coming together but by then, only a few have decided to stay and continue working on the puzzle.

 

I think a lot of viewers who deemed this drama as a ‘failure’ got easily confused from the very beginning. Of course, it didn’t start with point A to point B. We had all the points scattered. At some point, viewers found this complicated and too complex to analyze. Plus, editing during first half was pretty choppy. So it didn’t feel complete in transitions. If only viewers didn’t give up so easily or jump to conclusions on this drama in the first place  i did write once that in a drama like this, it will either become a void or mesmerizing. I am glad it was the latter for me.

This is the downfall of watching a drama that catches our attention so deeply. The withdrawals will last for who knows how long. I continue to listen to the Osts and watch scenes all over again. And other dramas that also have my favorites in too

I am re-watching my favorite scenes and reading fanfics. I particularly like the #CoreaNews in tumblr. I think it's in AO3 as well. I accidentally went to the shippers thread and thought that it was this thread up until reading 3 pages full of delulu shizz. Then I realized I was in the wrong thread. But been lurking there ever since. It's just fun reading all the posts and comments there. It's a happy place there. So now, I'm reading these two threads simultaneously. Hehehe.

I am completely lost in LGXJTE. It's reaching unhealthy boundries and territories

[gwin]

I miss the show, and the two leads.  I've started watching KSH's new drama, and while it's good so far, it's just not the same.

 

I really wish LMH announces a next project soon so I have something to look forward to.  At least KGE has an upcoming movie soon.
