Hahaa so true, but at least cdrama comment sections have more intellectual discussions and debates on the plot along with theories, not just pure hate and fan wars. Kdrama comment sections always feel somewhat regressive.

Frfrr

I think the 2nd point is the biggest thing here. People can't comprehend the characters, and the fact that this is exactly how they're meant to be portrayed. It's also only the 1st ep, the emotions will only come in later, obviously.

They're just jealous atp. And also the fact they complain about how a cold character is portrayed cold. Like its their first time watching dramas or smth. Obviously the ice will only break as they move ahead, not sure what ppl here expect from just the 1st ep.

Exactly, people hating here clearly have a skill issue in reading expressions, they need not be exaggerated. The way I-An is portrayed by WooSeok is great, that's how his character is meant to be.

Because most of the stuff people be saying has no logic to it whatsoever, just pure hate. I'm defending both of them here, not even particularly a fan. Can we start treating the actors in more humane way? You must understand that there are sometimes moral limits to expressing your opinions, if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself. Of course, justified and constructive criticism is always welcome.

Oh please enlighten me how he should have acted? It seems to me, you simply cannot comprehend the situation they were in as well their personalities. He was slapped in public while a major event was taking place, queen mother has greater authority, obviously he wouldn't be making a scene there. Secondly, a NORMAL reaction to getting slapped would be to retaliate or be offended or be surprised. If you see the same two expression, isn't actually saying the opposite, that he CAN act?

exactly, its fictional, not sure if their brain can comprehend that

"it’s intellectually dishonest in the way it frames power, hierarchy, and identity. It borrows the aesthetic of a modern democracy while quietly reintroducing a system built on birth-based privilege, and then expects the audience to find that romantic." - from your review, the writer can frame power, hierarchy and identity in the way they want because its a world they created, tf you mean dishonest? also sounds chatgpted, no way in hell you wrote all that from 1ep of a drama you are rating 1 star, most sane people who just move on.

Right, cold and "expressionless" is actually an expression, i think people forget that too often, and that's exactly what needs to be portrayed by the ML's character as of now. Not sure what expressions they expect from him, happiness, tears? it's not time for that yet.

No cuz you clearly aren't enjoying the acting here, i'm advising you to leave and find smth else you'll like. Or do you just enjoy staying here and writing negative things? Sure go ahead have fun, I won't be engaging further then. Oh dear, you can't leave a comment here, and ask the ppl in the replies to mind their own business, that's not how it works.

plz delete this later, the websites get taken down

pretty early on, the get married before they confess and stuff probably cuz contract marriage trope

its fiction - a made up world, did you not get the concept?

ML fire trauma, typical being blamed for it too, neglectful parents, etc.

omg do u think they are mimes who need to exaggerate their facial expressions, especially in the 1st ep where they just meet again, the emotions haven't rushed in yet. maybe its a skill issue if you cant read their expressions, the subtle hints in their eyes & lips say everything.

if you know you can't stand an actor, don't watch it, it's a waste of your time and happiness, let people who like it enjoy, i'm you'll find something you like too, no need to be so bitter babe <3

its not available in some countries

yess would be amazing to binge

No they don't tho, he clearly wants to leave the palace and be free, not bound by duty, and if he doesn't marry her, he'll have to wed a woman the queen mother chooses, if he does she will probably have full control over him, which is why she keeps insisting. For the FL, she doesn't want to marry any of the guys picked by her fam because they're too ugly or not the right status, and i'm sure she doesn't want to marry someone chosen by them, she wants to make her own choices, and choosing someone to match her standard like the grand prince is not a bad idea. She always liked chasing clout and being the centre of attention, marrying a prince is definately smth she would do.
