Getting to that point where I understood took a bit of time, but oppa is incredibly loyal, so he never let go of my hand. But that process really… there were times that it was hard to bear, but for me he’s someone I’m very grateful to.

Today, I’ll hold your hand.

Lee Gon, The Name That Must Not Be Called

This show is all about the details. That’s why every scene, and every line matters. From the beginning, it was always mentioned that our Pyeha cannot be called by his real name, Lee Gon. So he wouldn’t even tell people his name. He would only ever introduce himself as the King of the Kingdom of Corea and that’s it. And this made him so deeply rooted into his role as the King, as if his sole purpose in life was to be the King and forget that ‘Lee Gon’ existed. So he dedicated his whole life to it.

But as he spent time with Jeong Tae Eul, he came to realize that with her, he’s not the King of the Kingdom of Corea, he’s Lee Gon. To the bare, he is a man in love. And that man has to be called Lee Gon, not the King. It was Lee Gon that held on to Lieutenant Jeong Tae Eul’s ID in hopes of finding her one day. It was Lee Gon that sneaked out of the Kingdom of Corea to meet Jeong Tae Eul. It was Lee Gon that made it back to 2020 after being stuck in the past, as he used his love to get him through. Which is why the first time he tells anyone in the Republic of Korea his name is right after he lands back in the right time, after holding so strongly onto the memory of Tae Eul for so long. He found his Lee Gon self as he trekked through time. Jeong Tae Eul showed him that he is more than just the King, knowingly or unknowingly.

So when the show basically ends with Lee Gon doing his duty as the king but also proudly telling the child his name is Lee Gon, with the dramatic royal music in the back as the camera pans to the portrait of him as the king, it hits you right in the feels. He no longer is only introducing himself as the king. He’s acknowledging that he’s now in a better place than he has ever been before. He’s finally acknowledging that he is both the King and Lee Gon, thanks to Jeong Tae Eul. And it’s much less of a burden on him this way. So it’s not only Lee Gon that impacted Jeong Tae Eul by making her world rounder, but also the other way around.

And that, folks, is why this last scene was so epic to me. The King: Eternal Monarch is evidently a love story, but the hidden story is that of Lee Gon’s journey within himself. And he will forever be the King because he grew up as the King, so that identity is never leaving him - just like his identity of Lee Gon, his birth name. And hence, his two identities combine to show that Lee Gon is an eternal monarch. Frankly I couldn’t piece together why and how he went from never saying his name to finally saying it. Or why I was so moved by this scene. But I’m glad to have found it. I’m going to miss Lee Gon so damn much.

What did you pray for?

I didn’t pray. I threatened.

I told Him to stop being so harsh.

We didn’t do anything that bad.

I asked

If we really has God’s blessing.

He was tall...

He was skilled with a gun,

knew the structure of the Cheonjongo well...

He clearly knew who the enemy was.

He was fighting with all his might for me.

The one who saved me...

The one who saved you was yourself. 

It was me.

So that’s how...

everything comes togther.

What is your reason for doing that?

You were sitting alone by the stream.

The green grass was sprouting

and the water was splashing from the spring breeze.

You promised that even if you go, you won’t be gone forever.

That is what you promised.

I sit by the stream each day

and think about something endlessly.

When you promised that even if you go, you won’t be gone forever,

were you asking me not to forget you?

Physics of Love

Mass is not proportional to volume

A girl as small as a violet

A girl who moves like a flower petal

is pulling me toward her with more force than her mass.

Just then, I am

like Newton’s apple

I rolled towards her without stopping until I fell on her

with a thump, with a thump thump

My heart

keeps bouncing between the sky and the ground

It was my first love.

Kim In Yook, 1963
