I was reminded by that I had this series, right? Let’s set a limit. How about 17? Falling in Love with Lee Gon, part 1 *********************** There’s one montage in Episode 16 that I thought encapsulated Lee Gon’s (and therefore KES’) concept of love. Can you guess? It’s this one. It’s a montage of the […]

Psycho But It’s Okay: Next Drama, June 20
@nrllee has been reminding me that “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” is coming up this Saturday, June 20. I think we’ll have fun with this kdrama. According to mydramalist, it’s about a healthcare worker who meets a famous writer of fairy tales at the psychiatric ward where he works. It doesn’t take much to […]
The King: (Bitches)splaining Ep 16 TaeEul with Lee Lim
This is for WEnchanteur and the other lurkers. – It takes two pieces of flutes to travel back in time, why does Lee Gon do it when Tae Eul didn’t travel with him all the way to the end? Did you mean this moment? The director didn’t show us a split screen but while Lee […]
The King: Ep 16 @GB’s Solitude, Yoyo Kid, and Lily
Do you know that I AVOID reading @GB’s posts? They’re an irresistible catnip and I get sucked into replying to her posts. The loose ends that we’re happiest over, when they got tied up. These still leave much to be desired! 1) Finding out who Chief Park’s Solitude is. 2) Finding out the reason (maybe?) […]
The King: Eps 15 & 16 Q&As on Mackerel, Embracing Fate, and Palm Leaves
From Episode 15. Citylights asked: Can someone explain how they understood the “mackarel” of Prime Minister Koo??? Im so confused! Is it because LG already traveled back in time thats why her mom’s memory changed? or is it because her mother is already switched? Please enlighten me. Thanks! Holy Mackerel! I generally don’t like to […]

The King: Aloha Party & Best Drama Boyfriend Induction Ceremony
6/12/2020 Update: @Growing_Beautifully suggested using this emoji link. https://www.emojicopy.com Party Decor 🎈: I thought we could do no worse than imitate our show in hauling a few 🌳🌳 trees in for the scenery. These are not gingko trees but they look sweet! Some 🎋 bamboo 🎋 too, I felt, won’t go amiss! 🎋 🎋 Of […]
The King: Ep 16 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers, comments, prayers for a happy ending (lol), and analyses of the final episode. Thank you everyone for being such great models of Alice and for accompanying me down the rabbit hole. It’s been fun chasing the proverbial White Rabbit in Wonderland with you all. Except that plagiarist Rosa […]
The King: (Bitches)plaining Ep 15
I must be masochistic. My two favorite scenes in Episode 15 were the two goodbyes scenes. 1. The goodbye scene with TaeEul LG: You said this position is actually really uncomfortable. TE: Do you think I even tried it before? I just said it without thinking. Now that I’ve tried, it’s really nice. Meaning, she […]
The King: (Bitches)plaining Episode 14
Nowadays, there are so many different ways to “explain” that I get confused. There used to be just your regular explanation to clarify things. But then came people came up with the term “mansplaining” for when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing way. Then, there’s now “whitesplaining” for those times when […]
