Episode 16 - How will be the final episode !NO SPOILER.(I just repost what I posted elsewhere, but it drowned)
Something that's both ultra-sluggish and ultra messy. - No answer to anything, on the contrary, new weird and confusing stuff. - No explanation for who built the pillars or the flute, it's like that!
I predict five minutes of action, then nothing. - Jo-Yeong is badly injured, so we won't see him afterwards and don't know if he survives or dies. - The two main characters are separated and looking for each other. - They're both losing their memories. - They meet on the esplanade once again, but no one hugs... - They are separated forever afterwards, and regain their memories after that. - During the whole episode, they cry and are desperate, depressed.
Characters in a total blur. - The story of Lady Noh's past in North Korea has no impact, besides we forget to talk about it. - We don't see the Yoyo Kid again, who disappears completely without us ever knowing anything or what. - The PM Koo is totally forgotten and doesn't appear in the episode. An unfortunate technical incident. - Luna doesn't appear in the episode either, we can assume everything. But a very thin clue, such as a crumpled envelope on the floor with a hospital logo, will allow the most valiant spectators to guess that she died of cancer. Other spectators disagree and claim that Luna has travelled 1000 years back in time. She retired and built a hotel: the famous Hotel Del Luna. - Nari appear in the PPL bar, but no Eun-Sup. As he already said goodbye to Jo-Yeong, he did the job he was asked to do in the drama. - In the end, Shin-Jay didn't go into the past. So there will be a lot of scenes dedicated to him alone and to his mothers, for nothing. Well, not 100% nothing, they will eat a lot of chicken. - Lee Lim is even more foolish. This time, it's the Lee Lim of the future killing the Lee Lim of the past. With a cliché effect but illogical, it leads to his disappearance, even if he comes from another timeline, but who cares? - Maximus dies of old age.
New characters never seen before, such as... - a royal grandfather half mad, - a mysterious notary with yellow hairs introduced by secretary Moo, - a character who may also travel back in time, with another mysterious object that we never see hidden in a golf club. This character will make disturbing allusions and maybe it is actually an already existing character, but this will never be shown or explained. Nobody know if it's a man or a woman and he/she wear giant sunglasses.
Dozens of new questions without clues or meaning will invade the episode. - a timestop of timestop, - a yellow three in a pink field in a glass snow bottle. - a new world both night and day with golf balls everywhere.
There will be a slow motion scene in which a voice-over will recite a 5-minute poem. Only 2.71828% of the audience will remain awake after that.
The last scene will be strange and dreamlike, or nightmarelike who know ? - We will see Tae Eul and Lee Gon together, suddenly, out of nowhere, when they were separated forever before. - But we will have no context, and their dialogue will be enigmatic, hermetic, indecipherable. - We won't know when and where they are, nor will we know if they are the same people who were in the drama. - Nor will we know whether they will become happy or not, because they are neither sad nor happy. - They are just looking into the distance, huddling together, and there is a lot of wind.
No conclusion can be given to anything!
I hope that the drama will not disappoint me, and will propose an ending episode of this kind!
I'm breaking it all down step by step, in the clearest possible way. I'm used to SF stories, so "disappearing objects", "sudden memory" kind of principles are things I have difficulties with, and I first went on a more logical and physics track. If a timeline is rewritten, normally there's no reason for anyone to remember anything. But this is possible if the story uses a different process. For example Nine Time Travel, which explores in depth the principle of memory acquisition. Since the story is based on a mysterious incense, it makes sense. TKEM uses a magic flute, so yes, that's also possible.
So I haven’t been in the korean comment section in so long because all I’ve been watching are Thai dramas,…
It's annoying! Fans of drama can't find an answer when critical audiences describe how flawed and poorly done the drama is. So, they try to prove that drama is good according to its popularity. But even here it's hardly convincing. Especially since the so-called new viewers are mostly as disappointed as the old ones.
There is a discussion thread of confusing things. Hope this helps: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/the-king-the-eternal-monarch/48691-the-king-eternal-monarch-confusing-things-discussion
No, because I have some awkward questions that no one can answer. I prefer your topic to be peaceful and not cause further confusion among those who read it. ;-)
I lost the link, I'm sorry ! But you are too in a trope on this very good and funny website !:-))
I discovered this site about a year ago as well. I analyzed scenes from my dramascript with it. I realized that I was using a lot of tropes, but fortunately, as it says on this site, it's inevitable and not negative. Some tropes are really cool. It also helps the viewers a little bit to find their bearings. For example, I have the trope of the snobbish and pretentious actress. As she's a minor character, it's better not to spend time giving her a background. Thanks to the trope, the audience immediately knows who they are dealing with without complicating their lives. Example here: http://w4worlds.fr/html/W_Saison2_Script08_US.html Scene #3.

I readed that hours before and I lost the link. Arf!!! It's about guardians. I don't remember more. Guardians of the thread. I was looking if I was too in some tropes. And I think I am too, more in the "Troll" section. I lost the links too.

This thread make me even more confused. What can I do ? Call for a doctor ? ^^
What news and critics are saying. Might be good to add their points too in a third section.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King:_Eternal_Monarch#ReceptionThe…
That’s why I use this platform to only update and rate my dramas. This comment section is so toxic. Why you…
Trope detected! The snobbish user who never deigns to leave a comment and proudly declares never to leave a comment, but who just happens to leave a comment, just to declare how silly comments are. That's what makes the comment section so toxic!
But I'm not here to fight, rather to inform in a pedagogical way : This drama requires a thesis to explain every 2.71828 seconds you see on the screen. No need to thank me, I like to help my fellows! ;-D

I have provided a link to a blog where all this is described. Or you can see on soompi, page 771, 773. If you just want to laugh, go page 818. ^^

Scene #3.
It's about guardians. I don't remember more.
Guardians of the thread.
I was looking if I was too in some tropes.
And I think I am too, more in the "Troll" section.
I lost the links too.
What can I do ?
Call for a doctor ?
^^
BRAVO!
This will help the writers to know what not to do.
But you are too in a trope on this very good and funny website !
