The King: Eternal Monarch:: The Ultimate Drama Guide
“This is too complicated!” said no Bitch ever! We can handle anything and everything. Thanks to @Welmaris, we have our Family Tree, Character Guides, and Frozen Times. Other Court Ladies and Gentlemen helped, too! Thanks to @Growing_Beautifully, @JT7, @Phoenix, @mychoiyoung, to name a few. It’s been a labor of love. I’m linking the Character […]
The King: Welmaris’ Frozen Time Recap
If all the Frozen Times and Legal/Illegal Immigration are confusing you, here’s a recap from Welmaris. This is all Welmaris’ work. I only added the pics because I’m a visual person. 🙂 Thanks, Welmaris!! Thanks for keeping us in order. @phoenix!!! I didn’t expect our two islands to match the kdrama’s two world paradigm so […]
The King: Ep 12 Help with Star Constellation?
If you have time for more research, please help this Bitch out. This has been bugging me. This is the Gemini constellation in TaeEul’s room. It looks like this: But I don’t think this is the Gemini constellation at all. The stars are hanging in Luna’s van. From Ep 13, 54:00. Can somebody please check […]
The King: Ep 12 The Gingko Tree and the Magic Lily
First, there was a discussion whether the flute was from a bamboo or a tree. According to the legends, the Manpasikjeok was made of bamboo. It made sense that flute activated a portal in the bamboo forest. However, I said stop! Let’s wait and see about the bamboo. The bamboo is a weed. It’s not […]
The King: Ep 12 On Product Placement
I heard that one of the major complaints of netizens about this kdrama is that it’s full of product placement. My answer is so what? I counted the product placements in “Crash Landing on You” and nobody seemed to raise a stink that in the first 15 minutes alone of Episode 11, there were […]
The King: The Balloons
I only watched the first few minutes of Ep 13. But @Growing_Beautifully asked this from another thread. @pkml3 I’m trying to work out if there’s a plothole. In the zany universes of opposites and mirror images, that there are 2 different ways to cross the worlds and they have different effects. There’s the short cut […]
The King: On Lee Gon the First
As you probably know, there’s a situation right now in Washington DC where I work and in many cities across USA. I condemn the violence of these protests, and my colleagues and I are working to make sure that these people involved in looting, arson, destruction and lawlessness are brought to justice. Do you get […]
The King: Ep 11 On TaeEul’s Carpe Diem
Carpe diem. It’s Korean (lol just kidding) for “seize the day.” It means that one should enjoy life while one can. The full quote is actually Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero, or “seize the day, trust as little as possible in the future.” That’s TaeEul’s philosophy. ************************* TE: I guess the one that took […]
The King: Ep 12 On Lady Noh’s Mysterious Beginnings
So Lady Noh is Korean? That’s it??!! To be honest, I was underwhelmed by that news. I thought she was the original Time Traveler or the Fairy Godmother for Lee Gon, like Fate/Yoyo Girl was at TaeEul’s side. So, when I consider the more exciting identities for Lady Noh, finding out that she was North […]
The King: Ep 13 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers, rants, comments, analyses, theories and kudos to Kim Go Eun, Lee Minho, Woo DoHwan and Kim Kyung Nam. gif credit: itsjenniejennie’s tumblr And yeah, Lee Jung Jin. I want to taser the old guy. Let’s enjoy the show.
The King: The Plagiarist Rosa Mae Aguilar Strikes Again
Can somebody from this FB group tell their admins that Rosa Mae Aguilar has done it again? What’s wrong with these people? Why do they tolerate a plagiarist in their forum? For the clicks? I want this taken down and please block her from posting again. Updated:
The King: Welmaris’ Analysis of the Ring, the Sword and the Flute
This is Welmaris’ comment. I’m reposting on the blog so we can easily access it later when the sword comes into play later. Thanks, Welmaris!! pm3 ***************** There’s something we haven’t talked about, and that’s the King’s Ring, which is now in the possession of Lee Gon. Here’s a picture of the ring from ep. […]
The King: The Azaleas poem #3
This is the condensed version. This was intended to go with a larger blog post but I ran out of time to get the screenshots. So this will have to do for now. pm3 ****************** @kuroshio kindly shared with us David McCann’s translation of Kim Sowol’s poetry. Thanks, @kuroshio The Stream For what reason do […]
