I just scrolled through the comments and honestly Im baffled by all the angry, homophobic and aggresive comments…
I for one, am glad the overt romance vibes is gone. Don't like these "adult turn high schooler" shows that have the protagonist date a high schooler, feels creepy and honestly the protagonist seemed to be an upright adult. He went easy on the bullies cause they werent adults yet, his character would persue romance with one. Doesnt fit.
That damn ye ling er.. now i know why emperor matches her with 2nd prince. Dumb girl only brings trouble to FX…
Like she has zero wit about her. There are ways to tell the truth while not giving away any damning information to the 2nd prince. She couldn't even controll her facial expression.
Why blame the actor? I’m sure he would also prefer to be cast with an actress of his age and acting calibre…
You've taken this quite personally, no where did this person blame the actor specifically. Also 23 is much closer to 16 than 38 is to 24. As in a 23 y/o more easily be believably cast as a teen versus a 38 y/o as an early 20 y/o. Saying this as someone who likes this actor and dm casting
