the flute is actually a magic wand, that grants wishes.

LG will complete wand, and wish everyone but the bad guys to have happy ending.

The End.

To be frank, the show is not as deep as people think, But this is what you get when you place literature students, or creative writing wanna bes in a position to review KTEM.

You can overanalyze, you can insert theorems, add all the ism's you want to almost every single literary work out there.

Do you want me to make a 100 page essay on how the movie of Jim Carrey, Dumb and Dumber is actually a genius masterpiece, that shows dystopian values in a unchanging world. Or maybe I can write about another ism.

The fact of the matter, if you have to whip out google to research certain topics to prove a show is good, then the show is not that good.

Watch any medical drama, they use so many obscure terms, but guess what, they explain each term and confusing term so that the viewer can stay engaged and not get confused.

Trying to find meaning, when the writer herself said, she is not trying to place meaning, is just reaching.

Biggest reveal. Lee Rim's true evil plan!

In Episode 6, we see someone painting LG portrait, then in Ep 14, we see the finished product.

It is very obvious to me as a savvy viewer, that Lee RIm's grand evil plan, is to have an amateur doppleganger take over the identity of the man in episode 6, so that he can paint an ugly painting/portrait of LG.

How diabolical! LR, you are a true evil genius!

I think it's quite clear from the last part of episode 14 there are 2 LG's

And using your logic. There should in effect be 3 LG's

The LG from EP 1 (probably 52 years old by this point.

The LG who grows up from the baby LG from EP 1 (the LG we know, 32 years old)

The LG who is saved in ep 14, who we see in end of ep 14 (also 32 years old)

- SJ doppleganger kept alive, maybe because if he was dead, everytime there is thunder SJ would get that scar thing, and start to be suspicious, and he's a cop, so maybe he would investigate.

- Yeah painting was bad, lol

- Yeah, I have trouble with them making Luna evil, but not evil enough. It was so anticlimatic

- The mask was most likely given to Eunsup as a gift, along with the maserati, plus PPL you know.

- those images I believe are to represent timelines, because it only appears when the axis to move forward and backward in time appear.

- When the flute is one, the holder can travel back to when they save themselves, in this case he is saving his past self from failing the coup. It's a weak argument, but thats what the writer is saying.

- He never possesses the full flute

- The writer is trying to portray 1994 and 2020 LR as having too much arrogance. Basically, trying to be ironic, killed by his own arrogance. It was symbolic more than anything. Yeah LR is worst villain ever.

- Yes, LR can never go past that point in time in 2020, It's an infinite time loop

- LG flute does not vanish, because if it vanishes, then he's stuck in 1994 Corea and will be 57 years old by the time he is able to see TE.

- LG travels back in time because yoyo boy says that's the rules, when LR and LG are in time space world at same time, they can access the time when they have to save themselves.

- TE is effectively the damsel in distress. Cinderella has come.

- Yeah basically SJ arc is wasted, agreed.

- LG wants to make sure TE will wait for him.

- The friend of TE in the police, just so happens to listen to an old recording, lol. It's coincidence basically

- no clue on preggo lady

- PM will be new villain

- LR can't travel to all timelines, just that one point where LG also travelled to.

- It should be years by now your right. But you know movie magic.

- Time freezes when you travel on the time gate.

LG changes so much of the past, that when past LR travels to Korea for the first time. TE is there to arrest him before he kills Korea LG and Dad.

worst villain ever lol

1. Not explained, if the boy is the flute, he may have travelled to Korea, or maybe she is in Corea, who knows, it doesn't matter though. It was used as a plot device to explain what happens when LR and LG are in the time space area together.

2. There are infinite number of timelines and two parallel worlds.

3. He calculated it. 1 day in the special time world is 76 days approximately in the real world.

4. I forget the math, he explains it in 1 episode. But the time stops start at 3 seconds, and ends up being 1 hour. Thats an increase of 1,200%. So assuming that since then it's increased by that much again, since he and LR have been parallel jumping like crazy since then. But the calculation I believe is 30 days, each time freeze. You know, if they bother following the math.

5. No, LG followed the exact same past/future, so it would only make sense LR did as well. It will end up being an infinite time loop.

6. Reasons.

If this show is logical. Once past LR sees his coup has failed, he will believe future LR's predictions. Which means, sometimes between 8 years old and 32 years old, he had many opportunities to kill LG. He even had Shinjae mom in the palace working. But you know, that would not fit their narrative so nope.

Like i've said before. a clearer writing direction, would be for Luna to succeed in killing TE, take TE place when LG goes to Korea, and let them fall in love. And have the LG in black die, because the TE he loved also died.

It's a bittersweet ending, but I like it.

Luna will die for sure, because she's sick.

one of the LG will die also, because TE can't have 2 guys. Or can she?

in the episode we are all caught up back to the time when LG first meets TE, so 1994 LR is still alive, Future LR is dead.

So there are 2 LG, but only 1 LR now.

BUT, LR will die again, because we will have to fast forward to the current time where LR is dead, otherwise we neglect the other side stories of Shinjae finding himself, PM going crazy and etc... And by that time future LR should be dead, and past LR will be dead, to go to another past LR.

But the way things are setting up, PM will be main bad guy, because PM doesn't just want to ally with LR, she wants the power for herself.

well at the moment there is, because the "future" is still the part where LG first meets TE, the part where future LG travels back won't be for a few more months.

Yeah that information didn't change the timeline, the future is still exactly the same.

Logically speaking, after past LR saw his coup fail, and that future LR is correct. He already had Shinjae's mom planted in the palace as a spy. At any time between the age of 8 - 32, LR already knew LG would defeat him and save himself in the future, he could have killed LG at any time with this extra information, but the future stays the same, which means LR does EXACTLY the same thing future LR did, which will include him going back in the past, thinking for sure he will be able to convince his past self to kill.

Creating the infinite time loop.

Yeah, LG being alive should not affect whether or not the flute disappears as the flute isn't directly died to either LG or LR. When one half disappears, the other should as well, its shown in most fantasy worlds to work that way.

That's what i'm saying, he goes there to supposedly save himself, but ends up dying, it's contradictory to what we've been told by yoyo boy. Plus like I said, technically, a LR from 1 minute from the moment he time travels, would have this information, and he would be able to go back and change it.

Because this is the Time travel story the writer wanted to use, a world with infinite number of LR and LG existing in the same time field is possible.

Prime Minister Koo Evil Lady Arc.

Hints are dropped that she will try to take the Flute so she can become powerful also. She will probably succeed and will be the main villain.

So, LG flute should also disappear, and it didn't, using that same concept.

Yes, that is what yoyo boy meant when save yourself. Save your past life self, which wasn't what happened. If anything, LR should have transported to a time when he was actually going to die from LG or something.

But you know, who needs logic, when you got romance!

Which part did you not understand?

Basically to simplify. LG saves himself. LR dies. Since he can't find LR, he can't form the flute. Only if the flute is whole will he be able to travel back to future.

So he can go to Corea and Korea, but can't travel back or forth. So he waits in time space world with balloons until time has caught up to him and he will meet adult TE. He also leaves clues to TE so she knows to wait for him.

There is also two LG, baby LG who grows up and meets TE in the end, and the future LG who is waiting in time space world.

LR arc is over. Evil PM arc is about to begin.

All it means is that LR, whether past or future or present, can never go pass that point in time. Because everytime he reaches that point, he will travel back to the past to "Save" himself, then die. Rinse and repeat.

In the end it's a romance film. So with 2 episodes left, there isn't much time for logic.

It looks like the writer got tired of LR so killed him off and made PM the main baddie.

And of course perfect LG is still perfect LG.

Yeah the Kid is the flute, kind of a letdown, how does it affect the story that the kid is the flute?

I really wanted TE to die, and Luna to live. The way I saw a better written plot would have TE die, then the baby LG grow up and fall in love with Luna instead of TE. Then have future LG also die. So it's a bitter sweet ending,.

Technically speaking, using the science as shown in the show. He should be much older than he was before he was stuck in the past, because everytime he uses the flute, time stops. Everytime LR uses the flute time stops. A few episodes ago, the time stops were already at 1 hour. And the time stop increases exponentially by the sq root.

So with the number of times we see the flute used, plus the number of times we didn't see it, but knew it happened. Time should be stopping for months, if not years every time the gate is used.

LR and LG are not suppose to age if they stay in that fantasy land with the balloons. For LG to make up for 25 years, But he still needs to stay inside for 4 months.

Also in this episode we see him leave the time space land 4 times to talk to, or contact TE. So logically if time stops each time he comes into the world. And keep in mind we see him talking to TE, so we know time has resumed. LG should be at the very least, 5-10 years older than his age of 32, which would make him in his 40's by the time he catches up to TE. But as you can see that is not the case.

Using math, based on LG calculation, each day in that time space world is equal to 76 days outside.
