But there are also other people who no matter how many times they eat they are just genetically thin
So true, I find these comments about his weight insensitive and bullying. I have a friend whose weight is as his, and he went through pain trying to gain weight, including drinking a class of raw eggs. He developed cholesterol problems and had oily skin because of trying to gain weight.
I wish people would stop commenting on other’s weight because they don’t know what they are going through.
So many comments about hating the SML, the producers did a number on the audience. They probably wanted to try something new and forgot about the fantasy part since this is not real history.
Usually viewers would sympathise with seconds leads on their own, but here the producers wanted to force the sympathy and it’s not working.
I think it’s because of the FL, remember this is a romantic drama, people don’t like triangles especially…
My response was based on the comparison of the two. The reason Duke Su’ screen time was “short“ (of which I didn’t think it was) was because the plot was not about him. The title says “The Double”, it’s only the FL that had double life not the ML, thus, the focus was not on him more but the FL. But people who liked the ML more than the story itself will think his screen time was short, I think.
Also, The Double had many tags which include romance, so it was partly romance but not the major focus. It was written beautifully to cater for all those who like romance, politics, strategy and intrigue.
Since watching Cdramas from last, I’ve noticed that Chinese writers have it hard to make money. Due to the majority of the audience loving romance, they have to include it even if it’s not needed for their original plot.
Masterpieces like The Rise of the Phoenixes didn’t make buzz because of romance and people wanting everything to have happy ending.
The Double was not gonna have happy ending but they knew they won’t make more money so, they had to give it as an extra bonus episode for 5 minutes. That tells you it wasn’t originally planned like that.

Maybe they are confused by their own script.
I’ve seen that in cdramaland this what matters the most even if the story doesn’t require one.
The producer’s love for SML is telling.
I skipped from 15 to 20🙈
