"Childhood friend" isn't a magic pass to ignore personal boundaries. Grabbing and dragging someone without consent crosses a line regardless of past history - especially when the character's explicit condition means physical touch carries high stakes.
I think they're just normal human characters that you see all around you in everyday life? nothing to do with…
Married man who has 2 kids go to other woman making kid and leave his family for other woman?
Maybe it's average nowadays. Last 12 years i rarely go outdoors and even when I do, I don't interact with humans. I usually don't talk even with cassiers, as most of times there's self cassier terminal.
this isn't made by netflix though just distributed. it's an SBS production
I watched 10 episodes of perfect crown, while it's ok, i can't get rid of green screen / ai feeling. Also the plot of perfect crown is weird to say the least, but more importantly pacing is all over the place. Half of time are commercial beauty shots.
Here the plot, pacing is tighter, and I feel real locations (or they did much better job).
I honestly don’t understand where the impression came from that the ML was treating him like a puppet, when…
His childhood isn't "over" because he wears a red robe instead of a black one at ceremonies. He has a regent doing the actual ruling while he studies and plays like any noble kid. Funny how historical dramas show child kings with real power surviving just fine, but here a kid who only cuts ribbons (actually GP does it mostly) constantly cosplays as an oppressed victim while whining and crying over nothing.
The only reason the baby king is king is because GP didnt push his very reasonable claim to the throne and chose…
Push what exactly? GP only had an abdication letter from a king who died before the process even started. Once the king died as king, the succession automatically passed to his legitimate son. Intent to abdicate is not the same as a completed transfer of succession.
And the fact the heir was a child changes nothing — that’s literally why regencies exist. A regent governs temporarily while the child grows up and learns to rule. Replacing the dynasty permanently because the heir is 8 isn’t “normal regency,” it’s a political takeover.

Your argument literally collapses halfway through.
You admit the crown prince was manipulated, traumatized, and too young to rule — then somehow argue he was mature enough to permanently surrender his claim to the throne? Pick a lane.
The late king died before the abdication process was even completed. Legally, he still died as king, which means his son remained the legitimate crown prince. “He was thinking about stepping down” is not the same thing as an official transfer of succession. You don’t crown someone based on unfinished paperwork and vibes.
A regent ruling for a minor heir is normal. A regent convincing an 8-year-old kid to hand over the dynasty to him forever is the most obvious conflict of interest imaginable.
And the “ML already had all the power anyway” point actually destroys your own argument. If ML already controlled the court as regent, then there was ZERO need to take the throne. He could’ve simply protected the crown prince until adulthood like every normal regency in history instead of speedrunning a constitutional takeover with a traumatized child’s signature.
I'm only on episode 3, but this already feels so unrealistic. IRL, he'd probably be prosecuted for assault.

Are we moving to western genre, where every character is bad?
And I like her appearance more than fl.
When i was at school nobody knew anything about parents of others and didn't care.
I like that fl is kinda strange, great fit for such role.

Weird times, netflix making better quality than disney.
Who would decline ez money?
He died before it even started to process.
Died as king, so his son still legitimate heir.
Even if we close eyes on how stupid it is to be tired of cutting ribbons, while freeloading.
Not to steal king status.

1. King (brother of ML) died as king, legally he is king, his son is crown prince.
2. Regent manipulates kid to step down which will make him king is conflict of interests.
3. Kid is too young to rule alone, so he also too young to make irreversible constitutional decisions.
The conclusion is ML should wait until kid is adult. Anyways ML is regent, manipulating 8 year kid to giveaway king status to him is wrong.
