seems to say, you love to watch it, and you regret it if you don't watch it.
Let's talk about the plot.
To be honest, this new drama is very brain consuming, if you don't watch it carefully, you may not understand many plots. The background of the
story is based on two parallel worlds, one is the Korean Empire and the other is the Republic of Korea.
In these two worlds, the same people exist, but their identities are different. You may be a teacher in this world, and you may be a doctor in the other world. The
story began in 1994. In the Korean Empire, the development of
is similar to that of modern times, but it is still an emperor system, with the emperor as the center, and a political system of imperial power supremacy and imperial power.
Lee Gun (played by Lee Min Ho) is the prince of the Korean Empire.
He witnessed the death of his father and the emperor by his uncle, and he almost died at the hands of his uncle. Fortunately, at a critical moment, a mysterious man in black fell from the sky and successfully rescued Li Gun.
From the body of the man in black, Li Gun pulled down a badge on which was a policewoman from the Republic of Korea named Zheng Taiyi. The emperor
died, and his uncle ran away, and Xiao Li Gun took the throne and became the emperor of the Korean Empire.
In a blink of an eye, 25 years have passed, and 2019 has come.
Li Gun is still the emperor of the Korean Empire.
However, the emperor has not been looking for a target, and the old housekeeper eagerly finds a great god for a charm, hiding him everywhere in Li Gun's bedroom.
The Prime Minister of the Korean Empire is a woman, coveting Li Gun's "beauty" and wants to have some scandals with him all the time. In her words, if the people see the Emperor and the Prime Minister together, then the country must be very peaceful.
The emperor Li Gun is very responsible. In addition to dealing with state affairs, he also experiences people's sentiments at all times. When he has nothing to do, he will tell children fairy tales and go rowing dragon boats with the people.
Does the emperor really have so much free time?
It is said that during this dragon boat rowing, Li Gun saw a man wearing a rabbit hoodie, and desperately ran after him.
Alas, I really want to vomit, but I can't help it.
said that Li Gun didn't catch the man, so he drove back to the palace.
But in his racecourse, Li Gun saw the man again, and rode a horse to chase him.
came to a bamboo forest, Li Gun saw the legendary "Devil's Gate", hesitated for a moment, and rode through it.
Then, Li Gun crossed to another parallel world, the Republic of Korea.
Jeong Tae Eul (Golden Goeun) is a criminal police officer from the Republic of Korea.
After work this day, Zheng Taiyi was drivingBlocked in the road.
Li Gun appeared on a white horse.
Nima, this is too dreamy. The
velvet suit, golden embroidery and buttons, exquisite chin line and profile line, coupled with affectionate eyes, gives people the feeling like a prince charming from a fairy tale.
is so handsome!
Li Gun's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Zheng Taiyi did not forget his identity as a policeman and drove to chase him up.
Li Gun recognized Zheng Taiyi at first sight, she was the girl in the badge he kept.
Before Zheng Taiyi could speak, Li Gun hugged her tightly.
Although Li Gun was handsome and the scene at this time was also dreamy, Zheng Taiyi took him back to the police station. Since
is not a person in this world, Li Gun certainly has no identity.
Li Gun explained over and over again that he was a person from another world, and even moved out of Einstein's theory of parallel universes, but Zheng Taiyi was bewildered. The same goes for
. Who dares to believe that.
Finally, Li Gun was released, but was asked to wait for the DNA test results.
In the Republic of Korea, Li Gun has no identity and cannot use the money of his own world, so how should he live?
trivial.
Li Gun casually tore off a button on his clothes, and when he sold it in a jewelry store, the money came.
Then Li Gun lived in Korea.
His only purpose is to make Zheng Taiyi his queen.
Let's talk about crossing things, which may be a bit brain-burning, but Cobain will be as detailed as possible.
said that there is such a flute, called the "Wanbo Xi Flute", as long as it is played, the enemy will retreat, the disease will heal, the dry land will usher in the rain, and the rainy season will end.
Let's put it this way, this flute is omnipotent, and it is also the key to opening the door of crossing. The
flute exists in the Korean Empire and is a treasure of the royal family.
In 1994, Li Gun's uncle Li Lin rebelled against this flute, but Li Gun cut the flute in two.
Li Lin took one of the flutes and traveled to the Republic of Korea. He first found himself in this world, and brutally killed "him", and then his brother and nephew, the emperor and prince of the Korean Empire. Then the body of "self" was returned to the Korean Empire, creating the illusion of death.
After that, Li Lin lived in the Republic of Korea, but since then, Li Lin has not grown old anymore and his appearance has been fixed in 1994.
This will be slowly explained in later episodes.
And the mysterious man in black who rescued Li Gun in 1994, according to the license that Li Gun pulled down, many people think it was Zheng Taiyi in 2019, but according to Cobain's inference, the mysterious person is likely to come from the future Li Gun Yourself.
This is an important foreshadowing.
Let's talk about the rabbit Li Gun chased in the Korean Empire.
The fairy tale Li Gun told the children is "Alice in Wonderland". The pocket watch rabbit in it is the animal that leads Alice to another world, so Li Gun will chase this person to the Republic of Korea. This setting is very good!
And this rabbit, named Luna, is Jeong Tae-il's role in the Korean Empire.
Zheng Taiyi had seen Luna in the rearview mirror.
As for how the follow-up story will develop, we can only follow the drama slowly.
