I agree. But so much is left to the imagination. The queen mother was also a commoner, but her family produced several queens. I wonder why some commoners are acceptable while others are not?

For all his faults, Taeju does not blame his sister for his mother's death. (Although their father probably does.)

I've read several posts insisting he is a royal, but now I am not so sure. I just posted a new comment at the top asking for clarification.

Is Min Jeong U a royal or a commoner? I've seen comments claiming both. 2ML is of the "Min Political Family" who have served the royals as politicians for generations.

The car scene also made FL look weak because she knew it was a bad idea to drive the boy beforehand but succumbed to peer-pressure from the nanny and the PM, who should have never allowed this to happen. Heads will roll!

PM is a royal

Not an item per se, but yeah she digs him. Yun I Rang's interest in the prince is described in her character description (available from the Cast tab, above):

This! She knew it was a bad idea to drive off with the boy king. They all did. It was a very foolish decision to go along with it. What kind of excuse can she offer?

"The Prime Minister said it would be OK. So did the king's nanny! "I was trying to indulge the king's desire?"

They will say she was merely trying to win his favor. They will accuse her and the PM of a conspiracy to remove the monarch to make way for the prince. This is bad!

If it's a bad angle, then it was deliberately selected by the marketing team to influence whoever sees it to make them think he is a man of the people. But thank you for PR spin doctoring in a lame attempt to salvage this royal scandal. I hope his team loses the championship!

The QM would be the FL in her own story. This however is not her story. She is a supporting character in the FL's story.

If you are referring to the actress, and not the character she portrays, try using her name instead of her role!

Also, why didn't the FL consider the 2ML as a marriage candidate in ep 1?

Good catch!

He promised his priest that he would not. But then again, politicians lie all the time.

The food is in front of him, not her. The other characters you mention are not even in the photograph. Like I said, it's a deceptive photo. Just marketing gaslighting. I suspect Mr royal black bathrobe doesn't even like baseball!

Then that is a terrible photo! Why is there half-eaten food in front of him? And I see two beer cups, neither of them are full.

Nice to see a king at a ballpark, eating junk food and drinking beer like a plebeian. And not a guard or a food taste-tester in sight.

Do Hye Jeong & Choi Hyeon? Me too!

OK, thanks. They all look alike to me. It must be the goatees!

It reminds me of that election where all the votes got flipped. The brake pedal voted the car to go faster!

Was the Royal who attended the archery competition a young Jin Mu?
