Since in the end, the king, Cheoljong (male), was feeling that something important was missing, and that was Jang Bong-Hwan (male), returned to the future. The king also asks the real So-Yong (female) why she was formal around him? This means the king loved Jang Bong's version of So-yong.

I know that it is not a BL drama that is why I stated as emotionally because Jang Bong-Hwan knows his gender when he is in So-Yong's body, and Cheoljing (even if he doesn't know Jang Bong-hwan)  fell in love with So-Yong during Jang Bong occupated her body.

Same thoughts. Kinda disappointed the ending didn't confirm my gay ship lol. But there were major gay vibes no lies

100 percent emotionally gay 

The king loved the guy,gay or not it's the truth,I feel so sad for the king.Poor guy and definitely the most unfortunate guy. Emotionally gay for sure 

I wouldn't consider it gay, unless you consider that all guys who have a male best friend might feel that way, like the king does. Would I fall for my best friend if they were the opposite gender? I'd like to think not, but I couldn't prove it.
