The King Eternal Monarch Theories; A Thread
Starting off, first episode, obviously you can tell that the man in all black that comes to save younger Lee minho , looks a lot like Lee minho. I& #39;ve rewinded that part so many times, and those are definitely his eyes
To me it& #39;s either him or Shin Jae. / I don& #39;t know why I feel like it might be shin jae but just in case, there& #39;s that.
Next, we have the evil guy, how does he not age? A lot of my friends don& #39;t know that reason but me personally I feel that he doesn& #39;t age because he& #39;s been traveling for 25 years between these worlds. To me that seems the only logical reason of why he doesn& #39;t age
Okay let& #39;s get more into Shin Jae, if you& #39;re all caught up, all 8 episodes, then you know shin jae has a lot more of a backstory then we originally might have thought
Ive re watched every single episode so far, trying to catch as many hints and clues as I possibly can. And I noticed in one of the older episodes, I don& #39;t remember which one, there was a lady that works at the palace that looks Dead on shin jaes mom
From there I assumed that was shin jae& #39;s mom& #39;s doppelganger. it was the part where the court lady was talking to the new girl at the table in the king& #39;s world, and for the very beginning of that scene, you see a lady serving tea
Now the normal person might have not have caught that but because I re-watched it, I caught it. the only real difference about the moms doppelganger is that her hair& #39;s longer which is something that I noticed later on in the coming episodes.
Shin jae as we saw from episode 8, is from the Kings world. Now that opens up a lot of questions. For example, how did he end up coming to the other world, and why was he chosen / brought over. Like why him of all people?
It& #39;s funny because my friend actually was telling me she thought shin jae was from the Kings world just because of a gut feeling a couple episodes ago but there wasn& #39;t any concrete evidence to prove that so I was like I don& #39;t really know about that.
Also, shin jae was in a coma for a year which gives a lot of room for things to happen. So a lot of stuff could have went down in that year he was in a coma.
Are shin jae& #39;s nightmares about him living in the other world and he considers those nightmares? Or whatever put him into a coma, did that give him nightmares?
A little side thing I would like to talk about, is jangmi. Jangmi is the new recruited person on the police force. I noticed when they were putting handcuffs on him in the episode he first appeared he had a burn mark on his right hand. Which I just found a little weird
I& #39;m not exactly saying that that has to do with anything but comments made towards jangmi throughout the whole drama makes me question him just slightly.
Also in episode 8, when the main girl and jangmi on the watch out for the boyfriend of the girl that died, did y& #39;all see how jangmi hit the dude when he was running. I don& #39;t know, I got a really creepy feeling from Jangmi in that moment. And then on top of that, jangmi thought---
---that the dude was dead. So before that scene was over I was like oh my God he just killed the suspect. Just Minor details but still something to keep in mind
They also talked about jangmi& #39;s clothes and asks where he gets them, and how they think he& #39;s a gangster cause he looks like one
Okay, next I would like to talk about the kid with a yo-yo. I knew this kid was significant the very first time he appeared in the drama. I just thought it was weird that he was standing outside that store and then the next day the store was a mess and the lady was gone.
He also was the same kid that ran into the main girl and made her drop her ID which I think that whole situation links to something , what that something is, I& #39;m not sure of yet
Once again if you& #39;re all caught up you know that the kid with a yo-yo has connections to Luna, which is huge. Why are they connected? how do they know each other? I don& #39;t know. But obviously there& #39;s something there
Let& #39;s talk about Luna, now this girl has been appearing since the very first episode. Not a lot but she has. She first appeared running in the very first episode in the king& #39;s world , but then later appeared in the back of the main girl& #39;s car in her world---
Now this Sparks a theory that maybe Luna has been traveling between the two worlds in some way shape or form, or maybe she has connections to the evil guy so that& #39;s how she does it, something along those lines. But see, all of that wouldn& #39;t make sense later on-
I do think Luna has been traveling somehow between the two worlds, something along those lines, but when she was talking to the prime minister later on in the drama, Luna says oh so that& #39;s what they told you, if you find her let me know because I& #39;m curious too" (not exact) ---
Which already starts the theory that Luna knows about the other world or about the doppelgangers. And then moments later in that same episode, Luna tells the man that she beat up that she wants the money with the king& #39;s face on it. Which rings a bell in my head, is she talking--
About the kingdom of corea& #39;s money? Most likely
One last thing about all that, I think the kid with a yo-yo has more than just connections to Luna but I& #39;m not sure who yet.
Now who& #39;s be giving the evil guy pointers in the book store about what the Kings doing? I think it& #39;s shin jae& #39;s mom& #39;s doppelganger. Only because I know she works in the palace and she went to pick up photos of him in the later episodes.
And I know all of that to be almost true because that book stores in the king& #39;s world, shin jae& #39;s mom& #39;s doppelganger literally went to that bookstore pulled out a book and got the photos that were took of shin jae earlier in the episodes.
so as of right now that seems to clear all the air on who& #39;s been telling the evil guy what the Kings doing. And also who stole the girl& #39;s ID out of the drawer.
I& #39;m still so confused how the person with the girls ID ended up saving the little kid in the very first episode, like none of that literally makes sense to me yet. I& #39;m just not sure how any of that connects back to itself
But one thing is for sure I do think that Lee minho is going to end up getting killed just like his father did, they& #39;ve already foreshadowed it a couple of times in my opinion, and I just feel like everything& #39;s going to repeat itself
Another note evil guy definitely gives all the people he& #39;s working with another phone, so that he can contact them whenever he wants. I also feel like evil guy& #39;s trying to eliminate a set of doppelgangers so he can take over
The roommate girl that killed her roommate if you noticed, her doppelganger works in the palace, she was one of the guard people that took away that woman that got fired because she was spreading rumors, if you remember that.
So if she wouldn& #39;t have killed her roommate because she wasn& #39;t supposed to do that, she probably already would havr killed her doppelganger and had been in the palace already working for the evil guy
also someone in the horse stable in the king& #39;s world is already working for the evil guy because they did that weird close up of him and you can just tell something was wrong with him. They don& #39;t do this weird close-ups of random people unless they& #39;re significant
Example just like how we were already introduced to the guy working in the restaurant in an earlier episode, and turns out he was working for the evil guy and is from the other world. This just shows that my theory so far is correct
^ I will admit when Lee minho and yeong went into that restaurant to eat some stew, when that guy turned and saw them and was about to say your majesty I got the chills. Just that whole moment was so omg.
I didn& #39;t think about this until just now but someone had already been traveling in and out of the parallel universes before evil guy and young Lee minho even about it. like how did the person that saved Young Lee minho know to come at that moment and has something from +---
--- the other world in his pocket. I really can& #39;t seem to wrap my head around how that all happens but it happens.
