The King: Eternal Monarch (더 킹 : 영원의 군주)

JEONG TAE-EUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

What the hell

do you think you're doing right now?

I've

finally met you,

Lieutenant Jeong Tae-eul.

What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?

Can't you see my ID card?

I'm a police officer. What are you doing?

That was a greeting.

-What? -Because I'm happy to see you.

So, you were across the universe.

You really existed.

And after 25 years, you're still a lieutenant.

LIEUTENANT JEONG TAE-EUL MAY 27TH, 1990

How do you know my rank?

I have been watching you for a long time.

Although you may not believe me.

If you knew I wouldn't believe you, why would you say such bullshit?

I will ask you again, sir.

Show me your ID.

I'm afraid I can't.

-I don't have an ID. -Why do you not have an ID?

Because I am

who I am.

I guess you won't believe this either.

What the...

It seems that my feelings are conveyed, and you are confused,

so I will sum up the current situation.

I am the King of the Kingdom of Corea.

I crossed the dimension with lightning and thunder

while chasing after a suspicious person and arrived here.

I was confused for a while,

but after giving it some thought,

I came to the conclusion that this is a parallel universe.

This is a parallel universe?

It is a bit different, but let's not get into the details.

There's already one thing

that makes a big difference.

QUEEN YUNA THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LEGEND

It seems that this country is ruled by a Queen in this universe.

And she seems to be pretty beloved.

We do love our Queen Yuna.

She's loved by the whole nation.

Just like I am.

Now, escort me to your Queen

and give well-dried grass and water to Maximus,

my seventh-grade official.

How am I supposed to take you

to Queen Yuna?

You've got to buy a ticket.

There seems to be something wrong with our conversation.

-Am I right? -Now you're talking sense.

This is annoying.

He must be a movie star.

-He must be a celebrity. -Take a picture of his face.

So, you're saying

you came from a parallel universe,

where you are the King of the Kingdom of Corea.

And there was lightning on your way here.

And the horse is a seventh-grade official.

Is that what you're saying now?

It looks like you don't understand what a parallel universe is.

Did you not study science?

Who is this half-crazy bastard?

Is this what your personality is like?

Yes.

My personality has been like this for about 30 years now.

Why?

I have never imagined it.

I thought you would rather be softer...

This is new.

Sure.

Enough with the self-introduction.

Let me introduce myself now.

You didn't show me your ID, you violated the traffic law,

and you touched the body of a police officer on duty. Right?

You have the right to an attorney, and you have the right to remain silent.

If you move, it will only hurt more.

I am the King of the Kingdom of Corea--

My arm.

My arm.

EPISODE 2

FORENSIC SERVICE

-What a handsome white horse. -What is it?

-What's going on? -It looks so pretty.

It makes a great photo.

-Where did you come from? -What's going on?

-It looks great. -It makes a great photo.

-I haven't seen a real white horse. -What's this?

Let me ask you again.

What's your name?

I can tell you, but you cannot call me by that.

That's my answer again.

The name is not supposed to be called.

Then let's say it's Kim Gae-ddong for convenience's sake.

"Gae-ddong" as in dog poop?

You could have called me Hong Gil-dong or Mr. so-and-so.

And my family name isn't even Kim...

Mr. Kim Gae-ddong, take out all your belongings

and put them here.

If you disobey the order, I will take them out myself.

I will check your belongings.

THE KINGDOM OF COREA

Right, it was there too.

Think of it as the concern

of the Head Court Lady over the Royal Ancestral Shrine.

A 100 thousand won?

What's wrong? Don't you guys have 100 thousand won bills here?

Did you play Monopoly yesterday?

-Did you get to buy much land? -Will you keep talking down to me?

Kim Gae-ddong has been talking down to me since Gwanghwamun.

I'm three years older than you.

Does that matter right now?

Goodness. It looks quite real.

There's a chance that this can be involved in crimes or fraud,

so I'm seizing it.

-When will we get the result? -In about two hours.

Bring it to the office.

Okay. I'll bring it to you straight away.

What's that?

You don't have an ID, you failed to identify yourself,

and you've been uncooperative with police. You know that, right?

I need your cooperation with the fingerprint identification.

No one is allowed to touch my body. Even you--

Don't think that you just overpowered me.

I have trained my body with all kinds of exercises.

You seem to not believe me.

I wish I get to prove it.

Rowing, horse-riding, taekwondo, fencing, boxing...

His Majesty went out again?

Yes.

He went out without permission again in the early evening.

I thought so since my security level

has been elevated.

Where has he gone this time?

Did he go see the ice cap again?

No, not there.

He left all his winter clothes.

This time, I have no clue.

Captain Jo assumes that he disappeared

through the bamboo forest near the racetracks.

Just until this summer, he was shameless about running away.

This is no laughing matter.

You should really knock some sense into him this time.

Don't ask him if he had fun this time.

But that's my biggest interest.

So, what should we say this time?

We've already used acute gastritis

and acne caused by the change of season.

Why don't you use the method that you used a year ago?

Let's say he cooped himself up in his study

because he has math fever again.

Let's say he even has the Prince over to help him solve math problems.

I guess I should stay here for a few hours.

Looks like we will have another rush of applicants

for science and engineering.

This is so frustrating.

Captain Jo said he's searching, so let's hope he finds something.

The CCTVs caught him pass by the sixth point but not the seventh point.

The only thing that is between the two is this bamboo forest

but the footprints stop here.

It means he disappeared here,

which makes no sense.

I will check the CCTV footage again to make sure we didn't miss anything

and search again.

Right.

That makes sense.

It's either you missed something, or I missed what you missed.

You two take care of it. Just the two of you.

-You know what I mean. -Yes.

I will be on outside duty, so call me to keep me updated.

Right.

You said His Majesty went to check if it's a clock or rabbit, right?

Yes.

Seriously, we are innocent.

We had no idea that His Majesty was there.

We were just trying to catch the bitch that ran away with our boss' money

and ended up there.

-That's what happened. -Hey.

That bitch doesn't have a home nor does she have an identity.

We must get her while she's in our sight. Otherwise, we can't.

Please be generous.

You see, we did some investigation

and what they said mostly correspond to what happened.

-Did you find the woman they were chasing? -Not yet.

We have our eyes on her too

because she's committed various crimes like theft and assault.

But we don't know her face nor name.

We rather got tips from these guys.

What is she called again?

-Luna. -Luna.

Luna, it is.

I will call you as soon as we catch her.

Please prepare the CCTV footage of her as well.

I will.

Hey.

Hey.

Give me a cushion to sit on.

Or at least a chair.
