Honestly, how they handled that was pretty weird. Like, it's a good plot twist, but it's like they were literally…
My guess is that it's maybe aired prime time on a major broadcast TV channel. They censured themselves to avoid any unwanted controversy as this subject probably wouldn't be expected in this drama to begin with. It's just a bit sad honestly.
I like that they didn't exaggerated this topic because it should be normal to be gay....
I wish I could see it like that. And I really wish it was their intention. But my guess is that it's still taboo to talk about this subject openly. Like they did a very good montage to explain want happened & what's truly going on but the fact it's that they made extra step to purposely avoid saying he was gay or liked men. And it can be interpreted as being gay is still shameful and shouldn't be said out loud.
Anyway, it's minor and doesn't really impact this very good drama. I was just a bit saddened that in 2025 S. Korea seems to still struggle with this topic.
But... I'm a little disappointed at how they handled Mi-Ji ex-boyfriend reveal. Like I know S. Korea still struggling with this topic but the way they did everything to not say directly that he was gay is a bit sad. Well, I guess they still included the topic - in a somewhat positive light - even if it wasn't mandatory is still something I guess.
She isn't that bad. She didn't pull any backhanded trick so far. A bit passive-aggressive toward Mi-Rae maybe ? But it's mostly because of her inferiority complex. She is an interesting character and not the stereotype evil SFL without much background just to show off how ML is "faithful" toward FL (even if she also does have that purpose here).
Funny & entertaining. I usually don't like harem. It's more a anime thing normally as I never saw it in a live action personally but the "romance" stuff wasn't really the focus so it didn't bother me like it usually does.
Anyway, the MC is really great & the pacing don't let you get bored one minute. Recommended.
I mean, would you cast someone who can't swim/afraid of water play a Olympic swimmer ? Like I totally respect…
No, I'm not arguing about personal taste. Like I said, it's fine if you liked it. OP was piss off that peoples didn't like it because the actress didn't perform kissing scene and I explained why most peoples find that lacking. It can still be a great drama like you said, but it leave a bad aftertaste sometime. And obviously, peoples will point out that fact.

I'm not arguing about personal taste here. What does it matter that you are fine with it ? The general consensus is that an actor that don't do kissing scene in a romance drama isn't the best choice. I don't even understand what anyone would argue about that.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying she is a bad actress or she should have kissed even if she was against it. Just saying, casting her for that role wasn't the best idea. I'm pretty sure she isn't the only good actress out there - and most of them would have been fine with a kissing scene.
I saw a lot. Now, I wanna say my own opinions.So, The controversy about Liu Haocun is totally pissing me off.…
I mean, would you cast someone who can't swim/afraid of water play a Olympic swimmer ? Like I totally respect her own choice for not doing kissing scene but casting her in a purely romantic role was a huge mistake.
From a western PoV, it's just weird. I don't know if it bother them - as quite a few C-Actor also have this "no kissing" policy even if they do act in a romantic pairing - but yeah I fully understand the disappointment. I guess western audience weren't their priority in this one.
Pretty much faithful to the webtoon so far. I really loved the couple in this - it's one of the most healthy one as both of them are green flag more or less - and their dating era is really cute! I'm looking forward to it! :D
For a short drama without much budget, it's really good. I'm always afraid when a child have a main role in Chinese drama because sometime I think they hired the producer's niece or the little boy next door but it isn't the case here. She is cute & bubbly without overacting too much like some child actors do.
I also really like the fact both of them are reincarnated. It's a nice twist that I didn't seen yet.
Still really good but I think they made a typo in the tittle. Isn't that suposed to be "The Next Princess" ? With how many time he get a princess carry, I begin to have second thought. :P
When one holds a royal position and the other a caretaker, you often can't deny what they tell you to do.I doubt…
More than the dog leash, I was more concerned at how he reacted when he saw him with Charan. He was forceful here. And controlling. They weren't role playing anything here. I don't deny that the poor guy seems to genuinely love him - and in his twisted way, Cobra Boy also to care for him as his father control him because of their relationship but it's unhealthy and the poor boy is clearly abused by father & son.
If you can't bear to see any negativity about this show I'd recommend gathering your fellow fans and make something…
Don't mind the rating. Early rating means nothing for two reason:
- On MDL, early rating is... weird ? It stabilize after a few week so never trust any rating on a freshly airing drama.
- And most important, who the hell would trust rating in the first place when the drama just begun ? Except if they are REALLY bad - like 6 or lower, most peoples will first read the comment section to get their first idea.
I mean, don't worry that it will impact the success of this show.
I really enjoy this! But if I would nitpick it's about how they deal with their antagonist. Like the "cousin" of ML dying off screen or the general being assassinated without any backlash. If it was this "easy" why did ML struggle this entire time against him ? x)
Anyway, it doesn't spoil this as like I said, I'm just nitpicking.
I'm a bit worried but I don't think she fell for it. Before going she said to the bodyguard it will be a act. Then she only drop the knife when she saw all the bow aiming at her. I hope it was just a tactical retreat.
Complaining about writing when you pull off that comment is a bit ironic. ^^'

And if I would take a guess at to why: his consort's death. Probably Grandpa did something or Shark guy believe he did.
