People have their own reasons for liking one ship over the other. It is also their free will to like no ship at all and prefer no romance at all. That is THEIR perspective. Wanting the FL and ML to have their happy ending together is YOUR wish and liking them together is YOUR perspective. Its a free world, everyone can criticize an actor as long as it is the acting they are talking about and not the personal attacks. My point is that no one from among the hwal sol shippers or the no romance crowd attack you in any way or accuse you of hating. Why do you feel the need to attack or accuse people in general simply for liking or wanting something different from you? Ship you favourite couple all you want, no body cares. But stop with the unnecessary barbs. If people had been against kwon nara to begin with, they wouldn't have started the show. I see no comment saying what you are implying. All i see is people saying that they prefer the 2FL's acting. If that is hating according to you then so be it

I really don't get your last paragraph? Most of us hwal sol shippers have repeatedly said we know our ship likely won't even sail? We've even said our reasons for shipping? There's really no "fixation" or "hating". It's just a difference in perspective.

Yes. Every single main character would have been a villain in any other show :P it has two seasons but season 2 has a completely different cast. I loved season 1, season 2 not so much. Its also an older show but still very good.

Nope i dont watch BL dramas but thankyou :)
Also have you seen bad guys? Its a really good drama. A different concept as well

I have a good feeling about this show

Last time people were this excited over a villain was in voice 1 🤭🤭

Exactly, i never started the show thinking I'd be shipping the male lead with the SFL

But I mean....its not entirely impossible given we still don't know who the baby's father is? Like why make her pregnant at all if its not relevant to the plot so might as well be your theory :P

That was what I thought the premise would be when the first few trailers came out :P

Considering this show has been penned by the duo that was behind one of my all time favourite shows, The Guest, i have high expectations. The highlight of the guest was not unpredictable or complicated plots, it was the way every person's story touched you and of course the chemistry between the 3 mains.
So far im still aboard the hwal sol ship. I don't know if it's because gong seong yoon is the better actress or if it's because they showed hwal sol's shared past first with only hints of hwal and sang woon's shared but regardless of reason, i am shipping them. Is it likely that the ship will sail? Nope not really. And i think it wont hurt if the ship doesn't sail because im mentally prepared for it.
However I'm keeping an open mind and who knows maybe the makers will convince me to ship sang woon and hwal.
The show is intriguing, has an awesome villain and keeps you wanting more. I would definitely recommend it. And i also recommend everyone to watch the guest while waiting for the new episodes

That would.....blow my mind 😶 i actually like this theory, i wonder if this is what the makers are planning?

Nah its all good, its nice to engage in civil discussions and i appreciate your input as well :)

I honestly thought she would be playing the antagonist along with lee joon when the first trailer came out :P i thought it would be interesting to see someone who looks as sweet and innocent as her playing a baddie but oh well this is nice too. Though im still on board the hwal sol ship and it's unlikely to change at this point

I think pretty much everyone knew that Sang woon was not the one who killed hwal's family. But that's not the point here. After all until it was revealed within the show, this was just a speculation. You can't fault people for having a different prediction or for thinking differently about a character. The point that im trying to make here is that you seem to be putting down the PEOPLE that make comments different from your own, not their opinions. Like for example in the last 2 lines of your comment you mention 'haters'. Look no actor is safe from criticism. Even actors like gong yoo, won bin, bae doona and jun ji jyun regularly get criticized by some. I personally think lee jin wook is an amazing actor but i would never call those who criticize him 'haters' because this is all subjective. Unless people start engaging in name calling or commenting on the way someone looks, its all healthy criticism. Then you comment things like "where are the people who called sang woon dumb". Again, people are talking about the show. No one is attacking anyone here in the comment section so there's no need to get upset over it.
Lastly i am by no means calling you rude. You are very civil and i enjoy reading your comments because it gives me a completely different perspective on the show. I just think certain things can be said in a better way since it comes across the wrong way sometimes and feels like less of a difference in opinion and more of a personal attack.

You want angry sang woon, i actually wanted evil sang woon 🤭🤭 like can you imagine if both kwon nara and lee joon had been the evil squad? Now that would have been a deadly but beautiful combination
Editing to add that this is obviously not how the show will go, I'm just saying that this was what i had wanted when i saw the trailers and when the show had just started

🤭🤭🤭

You know ive noticed something (don't take this the wrong way) but you seem to have a habit of putting "the other couple shippers" down.
It's perfectly fine for people to ship who so ever they want right? I don't see why you are taking it so personally? We hwal sol shippers have our reasons and you hwal sang woon shippers have yours. It is possible to co exist no? I wasn't going to say anything but i keep seeing hidden barbs in your comments. You have freedom of speech yes, but it would be nice of you if you didn't say something like "its just the fans of the actress playing SFL" (just an example from your many comments). At the end of the day it is just a drama. And it is very likely the sang woon will be the female lead, we hwal sol shippers know that and have prepared ourselves for it. But whatever we say whether it be kwon nara's acting (which is fine in my opinion) or the chemistry, it's about the drama. We are not targeting you in anyway. So why do you feel the need to throw barbs at us? Lets just enjoy the show

24 was one of a kind! I remember i would be watching it with my family and all of us would be on the edge, biting our nails because every freaking episode ended on the mother of all cliffhangers. It went down in terms of quality eventually course because any show that is stretched beyond capacity will obviously end up going in circles but the first 4 seasons were epic

Why are they reluctant though? Given how korean shows have been the rage last year, i would think they would want to renew their successful shows. I mean sweet home has been renewed, squid game will also likely have another season so why not Kingdom?
And no i dont think having another season will mean quality goes down or that they'll kill off characters randomly. The ending of season 2 and the special episode both showed us that the makers have storyline in mind and i for one think it could be incredible

If this show is pre produced (which i think it is) it is highly unlikely the makers will listen to what the fans want. Case in point: start up and true beauty (i havent watched these shows but i hear that SLS was pretty severe among the viewers). Even if this wasn't pre produced it would still be unlikely that the script would change due to fans. I remember when the show born again was airing, everyone was shipping the female lead with lee soo hyuk's character. But jang ki yong was the main lead and despite sooooo many people being absolutely convinced that lee soo hyuk's character would be the one to end up with the FL, it didn't happen. I remember how disappointed i was when the writer of the show was changed midway and it became obvious that the new writer was going for an ending with jang ki yong's character getting the girl.
The point is lets just hope the script originally has a hwal sol ending because if not, i doubt they'll listen to fans. They usually never do which isn't a bad thing always since sometimes fans make unreasonable demands but then there are times when it wouldn't hurt to listen to them either. Lets see how it goes because at the end of the day, while romance may be a major part of the show, that's all there is to it.
I personally do ship hwal and sol. As some sang woon and hwal shippers keep implying, no i didnt start this show because im a fan of gong seong yeon, nor was i a fan of kwon nara. I had seen both of them in one show each and i came to watch this for lee jin wook. I came into this show with an open mind and found myself shipping hwal and sol. It has nothing to do with who is playing sol/si ho and everything to do with the character and her dynamic with hwal.
