One side only says: "WHAT IF" and the crazy shippers attack anyone who says that or actually ship IAN…
No, I'm not saying he loved her as a woman, but we all watched Kdramas that started out with characters like them and ended up together still.
Ian was a Huiju simp from day 1, but that doesn't mean people can't ship him with someone else or, you know, just say "What If", but people are getting offended by the most ridiculous things. I watched "The Practical Guide to Love" not long ago, where people were hating on the ML because he was "boring" and the SML was cute, sexy, and "fun".
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say, if Huiju can fall in love with Ian after one cute moment, Ian can do the same with Yirang the same way. We've seen that 1000s of times. People just angry if someone doesn't ship the same pair as they do.
Honestly, this is why most romcoms are so boring and poorly written, because barely anyone cares about the actual story and 1 kissing scene, and people forget how uninteresting or bad the script was before that. I say this in general, not only about Perfect Crown.
Huiju is IAN's first. He has fallen for her since school.Those who ship IAN with QM are likely those who always…
Let's not act as if Kdrama don't do the same with every romcom. 1 side ship the main leads because they're the main leads; the other side ship someone else because they either hate the leads together or like the other character more.
It's not always toxic or wanting to be different, but most of the time it is toxic because Kdrama fans can't handle different opinions, especially if it's about their favorite oppa. This is why I don't hold back anymore when it comes to opinions. Doesn't matter how you say it, fans will attack you anyway.
I'm so confused. Internet is divided into two fractions. 1st Ian and queen liked eachother and 2nd it was only…
One side only says: "WHAT IF" and the crazy shippers attack anyone who says that or actually ship IAN with the QM. The same old crazy Kdrama fandom wars. Nothing new.
The funny thing is, Ian and Huiju also had a one-sided love, but people forget that or just don't care. Huiju never loved Ian not even as a friend. Ian never mentioned her name for 10 years till she offered herself to him.
Also, this "Friends (one-sided love) to lovers" trope is basically the most used trope in Kdrama history, so I don't get why people are so mad about it or surprised people think it could've happened. It was so obvious since the first episode that they had a past.
And some never fail to amaze me with their SML obsession.
It's difficult to understand the story when all you can think about is the handsome ML and the kissing scenes.
I think people like you are the ones who actually skip scenes, even if you don't do it literally. You see one steamy kissing scene and you forget everything else that happened.
I'm not projecting anything.
It's a FACT that all of you are giving a free pass to the ML because he's the ML.
Like I said above, he literally did the same things as PM, but you all give props to ML while hating on PM for the same thing.
ML is easily one of the most boring male characters in Kdrama romcom history, and I have watched Kdramas for 20 years.
can you please explain how I An & the PM are the same? What underhanded actions did Ian make? What wicked…
You already lost the argument with your first sentence. Why? Because Ian didn't do anything about that either.
Ian also knows who is to blame, and he literally said in EP10 he will let them go so he can be a King.
What Ian says is total bullshit. If I wanted to protect my nephew and the woman I love, I would put the killers in jail, not give them a free pass. The Queen Mother deserves to be burned alive. Not only because she killed her husband, but also because he wanted to burn alive her own song as well.
Also, let's not forget that Ian didn't do anything about QMs dad either. He only choked for a hot minute, and that was it.
Ian slept on the letter till Huiju came along. That's the one and only reason he wants to be King, not because he wants to protect his nephew. The guy couldn't cook an egg without asking for help.
So yeah, the PM wants to protect the Crown that's why he's hiding the truth, and Ian protecting QM and her dad is literally the same thing for different reasons. Most of you just want to give some romantic explanation. for Ian because he's the ML.
"Also, Ian didn't know how dangerous the family was at first."
More nonsense. He literally heard what the QM said to the King when he was playing with his nephew. He said it himself; he knows what QM's dad did, yet he ignored it. He also knew they wanted to poison him. The whole investigation was nonsense too because they didn't investigate the actual Royal Family. QM literally mentioned this in EP10. So, how is that protecting Huiju exactly?
The only good thing he wanted to do was break up with Huiju, but she changed his mind after like 5 minutes.
Also, between the poisoning and him wanting to become the King there were like 4 episodes without any real indication he was planning to do something. Most of the plots are written poorly; things just happen randomly. Even Jinmu didn't look like a villain for many episodes; he was literally shocked to hear her daughter killed the King and now he's a villain too.
"he let his nephew suffer by hesitating cos he needed to be sure that he was pursuing the crown for the right reasons and not out of greed. he's still not sure, but the pressure mounted on him has caused him to finally act out of necessity."
So, let me get this straight. Our dear handsome Prince hesitating and letting a 7 year old kid being abused by his mother is totally okay, but if the PM hesitates to asking Huiju out or do things, he's a coward and a villain. 😂
You know how to change the story to make ML the better guy, that's for sure. I'm not surprised tbh, typical Kdrama fan behavior.
"Huiju and Ian have had plenty of moments together."
Again, excuses. She never loved Ian for a minute; the only thing she wanted was his status. This is the usual Kdrama romcom trope. People fall in love after one cute moment. That's not real love. That's literally a Disney movie.
"what did PM ever do? pathetic loser couldn't even confess his feelings like a man😒. please don't compare him to IAN."
Well, PM tried to stop both Ian and Huiju multiple times because he knew how dangerous this family is. He didn't confess his feelings. So what? He's not the first Kdrama character. Most of you shipping men like him with female characters all the time, especially if it's a ML.
He's a pathetic loser? Sure, let's say that. Then tell me, who is Ian? Because he never said anything about his feelings till Huiju offered herself. He didn't get the girl because he fought for her. He got her because he's a prince. That's all. If this isn't pathetic, I don't know what is.
The funny thing is I'm one of the few people who watch the drama properly because most of you only care about the cute romance and kissing scenes and obsessing over a pretty ML but that's not surprising. This is how romcoms in Kdrama land work. That's why romcoms are still the most popular genre.
1 kissing scene can make you all forget the lazy writing and bland characters. You all are just making stuff up based on your feelings. That's why so many people are defending the Queen Mother and hating on PM even tho one is a killer, an abusive mother who wanted to kill his own son, and the guy who's just a jealous idiot.
And some never fail to amaze me with their SML obsession.
Well, I'm certain I'm watching this drama. Not sure what you're watching tho. 😅
Ian is a nuanced character? How? All he does is be moody, sad, or cry for Huiju. The first time he was actually interesting was when he was choking QM's dad. Before Huiju served herself to him on a silver plate, he was just a puppet who did what people told him.
He had the letter of the King for years, but he didn't do anything with it till Huiju came along, and now he's acting as if he wants to protect his nephew and his wife.
Even the PM guy is more nuanced because he's not only in love with Huiju, but he also has to obey the Crown and the Parliament, and he actually does things, good or bad.
Ian is basically like a toy ship you put on a lake, and you watch where it goes.
You know who was nuanced? Prince Wang in Moon Lovers.
In Perfect Crown, the only nuanced character is probably Queen Mother.
can you please explain how I An & the PM are the same? What underhanded actions did Ian make? What wicked…
My only bias on the show is Huiju and Secretary Do. If you remove them, I wouldn't even watch this. I don't care about the men in this drama; they are all boring and uninspiring.
There's not much to enjoy tbh. It started off really good but turned out to be another bland romcom without substance.
Like, they killed 3 or how many Kings with fire, and people still don't say anything about it. The story is all over the place now.
And some never fail to amaze me with their SML obsession.
If you're talking about me, you're wrong, because I couldn't care less about him or the ML. The show is carried by the female characters and them alone.
The men are 100% useless. I just don't side with anyone like most people, and they only side with Ian because he's the ML. Ian is literally one of the most boring ML I've seen in a while.
Because most people only watch Kdrama for the romance, the rest isn't important. I would bet big money most of…
I mean, I've seen so many people saying Huiju's dad is evil because he asked her to divorce Ian. Even tho he literally spelled it out, he wants her girl out of that hellhole palace so she won't be hurt again.
He's not a nice guy obv; he's a cheater, but he loves his daughter. He just can't show it mainly because he's embarrassed by his past.
What's worse is that so many people cheering for QM and saying she finally becomes a real mother, and I'm like losing brain cells reading that. 😂
And I don't even want to mention the Ian vs PM battle. Both of them are protecting killers, but only PM gets the blame.
It was obvious since the first episode. Typical Kdrama trope. Imagine saying killing the King and asking servants…
That's not really an argument, just a fact.😂
I enjoyed the first 6 episodes or so, I don't remember, but the writing was never top-tier, it's just your average Marvel movie, basically. If you turn off your brain, you'll be fine. But the 2nd half is a downhill.
I wasn't a huge fan of "Moon Lovers" either, but in that at least we had a decent story with politics, fights, and a bit more complex romance and characters.
Here, everyone is either just crying or having fun or, what's worse, randomly turns out to be a villain without any real buildup.🤣
I'm not talking about the PM btw, I'm talking about Jinmu.
can you please explain how I An & the PM are the same? What underhanded actions did Ian make? What wicked…
I did in my first comment, but if you want me to spell it out here it is:
People hating on PM because he's hiding the fact that QM's dad wants to and tried to kill Ian.
Ian also knows this, and not only this but he also knows QM killed the King and abusing her own son. Yet he literally said in EP10 he won't do anything about him if QM stops obsessing over the crown.
Ian also knows how dangerous it is to be in this family, yet he still married Huiju. Even tho she almost died twice and I don't think we've seen any bodyguard with her either.
Let's not forget the other fact that Ian hid the King's letter for years and let his nephew suffer as a King, even tho he could've just taken over his place if he had shown the letter.
Ian wouldn't be in the picture at all if he were not a prince. That's the one and only reason Huiju was interested, but because this is a Kdrama romcom, 1 kiss was enough for her to fall for him. Imo, that's not love.
PM is just another fool and jealous, just like ML, btw. He has no right to be jealous because he didn't do anything to get Huiju. She literally handed herself to him.
PM is a good guy? Don't know; don't care, but he's definitely not worse than Ian, until he kills someone.
Why are people defending the queen mother when she’s an abusive parent. 😭 I don’t need to sympathize with…
Because most people only watch Kdrama for the romance, the rest isn't important. I would bet big money most of them skip the scenes without the two leads and PM.😂
BTW, abusive is a nice way to put it. The woman literally wanted to burn his son alive.
Kdrama fans never fail to amaze me with their ML obsession.
Both ML and SML are the same, yet Ian always gets the free pass because, well, he's the ML.
The one and only difference between Ian and PM is that Ian got the girl. That's all.
Both of them are protecting the Crown and hiding the truth, but only PM guy gets the blame. I honestly hope PM is just a double agent of Ian so I can see the meltdown of people who were hating on him every week just because he loves Huiju. 😂
As for the rushed story. What story? This drama doesn't have any real story other than Huiju wanting to have a royal status. That's all.
There's barely any romance, not to mention comedy or politics. This drama is carried by the cast. I don't think anyone would care about it if you remove IU and some other big names.
Dropped after 6 episodes. I had enough of the messy writing. Other than the great acting, this offers nothing. I don't understand why people hype this. Maybe they didn't watch as many thriller/crime stories as I did.
Writers only rush endings because they can't write the first half well. It's not about the quantity of the episodes;…
The problem with this drama is that it doesn't seem like they know what they want to do. Like, before EP8 only QM looked like a real villain, and then out of the blue her dad became the villain as well, and now they're implying PM is a villain too.
I mean, there's no actual buildup for most of these characters; they're just doing things. That's why I don't feel much about the leads' romance either. The whole thing happened only because she wanted his status, and now they're crazy in love. It's your average drama where 1 kiss enough to fall in love and 1 mistake is enough to become a villain. 😂
Every romcom has clishes but not many can do it properly. So far it's decent, but I fear it might turn out to be the next "Dynamite Kiss."

Like, I know most people are crazy about the latest kissing scene, but overall the ROM part in PC is lacking hard. BWS is not a good fit for romcoms.
Rankings would be high even if it were only IU just doing ASMR. 😂
