The King: On 11.11.2019
There are my notes. *********** They met on Sept 11, 2019. They met on Monday, Sept 30, 2019. Thanks. @Welmaris He returned on Nov 11, 2019. This was two months after they last saw each other. I know there’s lot of theories about 11/11. (Thank you, @mychoiyoung.) I’ll pick one for the purpose of the […]
The King: On Slow-Burning Romance
WEnchanteur said: I liked that final hug scene. The emotion was there. I haven’t analyzed why, but the last part of your article gives clues. Reading a few comments on another site, viewers were disappointed, because the sentimental story didn’t seem natural, too fast. So why does this scene give me emotion, others don’t? The […]
The King: Number Theory for Bitches, part 1
For Lee Gummybear and Capitalistheart. Thank you. Updated 5/11/2020 to include @Wenchanteur’s take on TaeEul’s Zero. Thanks WEnchanteur!! ****************************** In mathematics, number theory is just studying numbers to discover their attributes and special relationships when you put them together. For instance, These are even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,… These are odd numbers: 1, […]
The King: Facebook Plagiarist – ROSA MAE AGUILAR
Can somebody here please tell this girl to take down all of my posts? I saw what she did. I have more. Take down all these posts! **************************** Sigh. I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but plagiarism is NOT the way to do it. For one, it’s an embarrassment when the truth […]
The King: Character Information
Welmaris, Since you’re the Royal Historian for this kdrama, would you mind if I give you a big project? Please? Thanks. 🙂 We need to gather what we know about the characters, especially ShinJae and the minor ones. It might become more confusing as the drama continues.

The King: Falling in Love with Lee Gon, part 1
Falling in love with the writer’s mind is one thing but falling in love with her characters is something else. To me, a lot of viewers don’t realize that the writer KES had written Lee Gon as a role reversal. Often in kdramas with paragons like Lee Gon, it is the heroine who first falls […]

The King: Eps 5 and 6 Dialogues
The problem with this drama is it’s full of CONTEXT. It’s so easy for viewers to lose sight of meaning behind the words if they’re rushing through the dialogues. You know there are kdrama writers were the words don’t have much “density” to them. What you see is what you get. But there are screenwriters, […]

As you probably know, I’m a Cynical Islander (population: 1). artwork by Phoenix A couple of days ago, I asked my good friends over at Shallow Island (they’re really NOT shallow at all) to write their testimonials for Lee Gon/Lee MinHo. I’m compiling their posts out here for others to enjoy. I invite all the Bitches […]
The King: On Solutions and Answers
Lee Gon said this, “The architect Richard Fuller said, ‘When I find a solution to a problem, I know that I am wrong if the solution is not beautiful’….You are all proud mathematicians of the Kingdom of Corea. Whatever problem you are working on, I hope your solution and your answer are both beautiful.” How […]
The King: Lee Gon’s Family Tree
Thanks, @Welmaris, for clearing up the Lee Gon’s ancestry! Let’s stop the misconception about Lee Lim’s place in the monarchy’s family tree. Lee Lim is the oldest son of King Haejong, but illegitimate because his mother was a woman other than the queen. He is the older half brother of King Lee Ho, whom he […]
