I'm đŻ sure there will be a season 2 because still half the story from the novel is left. There are many mysteries that haven't been solved yet so don't worry we will get it.

Till ep-32 we haven't seen her yet. We will see her soon though as she is a imp character in the novel or maybe the makers will save her for the next season
So, I have a question, guys. When XQA was imprisoned for accidentally causing life-threatening harm to Silver Gong Zhu, didnât he also tell Xu Ninian to ask Heng Yuan for help by saying that No. 3 needed assistance? Why didnât his brother, Xu Ninian, deliver that message to him? We donât see any acknowledgment of it. He only asked Grand Princess for help and no one else.
I just caught up to eps 19 and I disagree with the things you said. I havent really seen are you the one , but…
I get where youâre coming from, but I still strongly disagree. First, saying this is a comedy/action show doesnât mean the issues within it can just be brushed aside under the âcomedic reliefâ label. Comedy or not, Lin Anâs actionsâidentity theft, no lessâwere serious and could have led to life-threatening consequences for Ningyan if the Grand Princess were portrayed as evil, like in most dramas. Just because the tone of the show leans toward comedy doesnât mean the double standards in how characters are treated should be ignored.
Also, the fact that Lin An is a âcute comedic reliefâ character doesnât absolve her of her actions. Sure, you might find it funny, but for someone like Ningyan, whoâs at the mercy of the royal family, itâs no laughing matter. As for her supposed apology, I rewatched episode 19 twice, and she never truly apologized. She admitted her mistake but brushed it off by saying theyâre âeven,â as if her deception didnât put Ningyan at risk. If you have timestamps for where she apologized, Iâd genuinely love to check them out.
Regarding Are You the One, the tone of the show might be different, but the premise of misunderstandings leading to identity-related mistakes is the same. In that case, the ML faced endless groveling, even though the misunderstanding wasnât entirely his fault. He was stabbed, humiliated, and had to beg for forgiveness over several episodes. Why is it that when a man commits a similar mistake, heâs treated like a villain, but when a woman does it, itâs comedy?
Finally, you mentioned her goons trying to make her not forgive Ningyan. Let me flip that: if this were a male character and his entourage tried to convince him not to forgive the FL, the entire comment section would be calling him immature or petty. The âgenreâ doesnât justify the imbalance in how male and female characters are held accountable. Itâs not just about one scene or one showâitâs about the consistent pattern across dramas where men are vilified for mistakes and womenâs actions are downplayed as comedy or justified because theyâre âcute.â
She did admit her mistake in ep. 19. The ML is also lied. So many times and they called it even. She is not the…
Exactly! Lin An might have admitted her mistake, but she didnât apologizeâshe just brushed it off by saying they were even because he caused her embarrassment too. How convenient, right? By that logic, Lin An isnât really responsible since Ningyan "started" the misunderstanding. But letâs be realâif XQA mistook her for the Grand Princess, she couldâve just cleared it up instead of playing along. If she really did apologize, then please, feel free to provide timestamps because I rewatched episode 19 twice, and I didnât see anything close to an apology. Maybe it happened in your dreams because, letâs face it, you seem to justify every action of a female character just because sheâs a woman.
And speaking of double standards, letâs not forget Are You the One. There, the FL also misunderstood the ML as her husband, so by your logic, it wasnât his fault either. But look at how much groveling he had to doâ10 to 15 episodes of begging just to earn her forgiveness. He even had to take a literal stabbing from her before she decided to forgive him. The misunderstanding was caused by her, yet the poor guy was treated like a criminal for it.
My original point wasnât even about why Lin An didnât apologizeâit was about the ridiculous double standard. When women commit something serious like identity theft, itâs treated as comedy and theyâre forgiven easily. But when men do the same, theyâre forced to grovel like a puppy just to get their partner to acknowledge them. Itâs frustrating, to say the least.
Remember that she is a princess and has never had to apologize in her life.
Exactly! In Are You the One, the ML was a nobleman and a general too, someone who had probably never had to apologize to anyone in his life. But look at how much groveling he had to do just to earn the FLâs so-called forgivenessâeven when she was partially responsible for some of the things he did. She even stabbed him with her hairpin, yet not once did we see her apologize for it.
Meanwhile, everyone treated the ML like he had committed some massive offense against the FL, even though she wasnât even a princess. The least she couldâve done was own up to her actions and apologize too. This double standard is infuriating. Crimes or mistakes against men are brushed off as comedy, but even the smallest thing against a woman suddenly makes the man out to be some kind of serial offender. Itâs so unfair and frustrating to watch.
The most annoying princess award definitely goes to Lin An. How can a princess be this clueless? She deceived Ningyan by pretending to be the Grand Princess, yet she expects an apology from him? And to top it off, she doesnât even apologize to him, but he forgives her way too easily. Whereâs the justice in that?
On the other hand, in Are You the One, when the ML did something similar, he had to grovel for almost 10-15 episodes before the FL reluctantly forgave him. These writers, I swear, have no sense of balance at all. If a woman does something wrong, itâs treated as comedic or brushed aside, even though Lin An knew full well she was committing identity theft. If the Grand Princess had been like the typical evil princesses in other dramas, Ningyan could have been executed. But when men make mistakes, they have to beg as if their entire existence depends on forgiveness, and it still takes forever to be resolved.
That's because dramas like this one have a completely different target audience.SMLs who chase after FLs are only…
Yes, there are dramas like that, but theyâre so rare, and most of them donât even include romanceâmakers usually turn them into bromances instead. Thatâs why this one surprised me; at least it had some small amount of romance. I wish there were more dramas like this because Iâm honestly tired of the usual trope where multiple SMLs are chasing after the FL, while the ML is written as someone who rejects even the slightest touch or interaction with any other female character. Itâs starting to feel repetitive.
This drama did so many things right and felt really different in a good way. Ningyanâs familyâhis aunt, uncle, and basically everyoneâwas portrayed as kind and supportive, which isnât something we usually see. Even the Grand Princess and Crown Prince were shown as genuine, caring siblings to Lin An, unlike in most dramas where theyâre often depicted as villains. The Grand Princess stood out even more by helping Lin An multiple times.
What I found really interesting was how the FL was writtenâsheâs immature and not exactly kind-hearted, which is pretty rare. Plus, thereâs no typical SML chasing after the FL. Instead, the ML had more female companions, which made this drama feel so different from the usual ones.
