The King: Theories on Ep 10 Blue Flowers, GB’s Explanation
I’m reposting @GB’s explanation here. I often repost a comment on the blog and give it its own “thread” so people can see it without scrolling and answer it separately. New poster @melone asked: I have one question regarding the timeline and this has been troubling me since the finale. When did the last scene […]
The King: Yeong’s Password and Lee Gon’s Name
This is for the lurkers who are confused about Eunsub’s password. Eunsub said that Jo Yeong’s password consisted of “J and then 13 zeros. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and zero. ‘Jo’ as in trillion, and ‘Yeong’ as in zero.” “Jo” in Korean means a trillion. A trillion […]

The King: Explaining the 1994 and 2020 Lee Lims

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?) […]
