I love that the this thread while acknowledging how annoying the princess is , still understand her character. I have to say I found the first meeting with SML was great, and worthy of a crush, and as a princess who has no control over her marriage, marrying her crush who happens to be her brother s and country enemy is even slighter. So if she get this chance, it's quite normal for her to cling to it. And I think she was really hurt when she knew her brother did agree the marriage not because he was supporting her, but because he wanted to trap her future husband. Which would make it more difficult for her to win his heart. That said, the line she is walking to her doom is so thick that she has to delude herself to not seeing it. I don't know if this couple s story will have an happy ending or will be a complete tragedy , but it s obvious she will suffer a lot before whatever ending waiting for her actually happens.

His son is causing Havock in the Capital and meanwhile emperor is sipping tea while reading impeachment memorial about his deeds 🤣🤣

They did not show him shooting her so far. They just showed us he was pointing his weapon at her, and was the last person she saw when falling. If they wanted to show us he personally shoot her, they would had included it in the flashback scène, even if he had valid ready to do so ( that would be explained for future episodes). But they did not show us that he was the one who shoot the arrow. Maybe there is another twist in this scene, or the production though it was obvious enough to show he was the shooter lol

The conversation he had with the emperor shown he is greatly insightful. And he seems quite scheming too. He is poisoned, maybe by a manipulator who keeps feeding him periodic antidotes, and he is not taking any..making you believe he had is own ways to outsmart his manipulator. Besides, he is very proper and respectful with the princess when she tried to throw herself at him the first time they met. And he seems to really care for FL, even after knowing he was on the scene of her assassination. So for now, I ll give him some point and hope he doesn't turn out to be your typical pathetic villainous second male lead

Mind you in this pool of gorgeous men, he is the one I caught a crush on lol

I feel you. That one scen when he bite her back under this romantic soundtrack threw me off. And the sound effects trying to build a tension that does not exist just achieve an underwhelming payoff.

I won't be surprised if the productionq behind Moonlight Mystic and kunning Palace are behind this series. It have the same vibes of both , actors from both productions, same decor settings, and the same sounds effects too ( even if I found it too overwhelming here).

Was I the one who actually enjoyed Su WanQuin in Princess Royal? 🤣🤣 I did found ML 'S insecurities more annoying than him, specially after the 1st big twist revealed if he wanted to be with the FL in the first eps, he could had have her since she was into him at this point.

Phew...And yet if someone came after you favorite show and actors, you would Repond with fangs and claws....it's not even a religious reaction, but a human one. So let's stop thinking we are more logical than someone else just because you have a different belief or taste.

They could be CP, or they could kill one of them after bonding for emotional payoff

When she asked him to teach her archery as he taught FL, I was like, no, homegirl, actually showing him your royal tities may work better than this plan, even if you would surely get rejected either ways.

Are the songs already out? I would love to hear the full version of opening song

My shipping senses are telling me they could pair the doctor with FL s sworn brother. The talkative one. They have too much interactions together, and she is always bratty ( well brattier) when he is around.

I am really enjoying the drama, and so far my only complain is about background sound effects. Sometimes it can be very loud, ill delivered or misguiding, creating tension effect when there is none or barely of it, or highlighting romantic or comic vibes not necessarily needed. But they have great audio elements, and love intro song a lot!

That was the exact question I asked myself. It could had been smoother if they just inspired themselves from the story, and they even could do without implying any Arabic correlation.

Curious here... Why label taking a name from a religion or foreign culture " offensive"? I understand the misrepresentation, specially the romantization of a character, historical, religious or fictional from a specific culture can be rub the wrong way for those who are very familiar with the content, and be misleading for those who are not . I can understand it's not a reasonable choice, even dumb, if the creators did not do their research right, or did not calculate the negative impact it could have on viewers. But if it's not something they intentionally do and launch a moral attack on the one who are used to the character. How can it be labeled as offensive?

Thanks!

Can you spoil it for me please? Don't spare details!

I was surprised how mature they were as individual and couple. Which make sense since they are 24 (f) and 30 (m) in the series. I love how the conversation between them flows, as if it came from a very natural place. I loved how they cared for each other, showing sometimes love does not need big and loud gestures. They are among my fav couples lol.

If what is circulating around his death is true, then Cdrama industry must be the most hypocritical among all of entertainment industry. Actors and other celebrities get cancelled for the wrong word, a manageable scandal, and have to appear to be the perfect angel who doesn't know how to poop when they are one camera. And this one actor died in the most horrible way, and instead, everybody seems to be covering for it?
And this made me think that we absolutely have no idea of the real life our favorite actors are living, how much of their image representation is fake, and what is really happening behind the scene. I can't shake the feeling that this glamorous icing is covering a cake made of total sh***t.
And I am surprised that I have not even seen the news of him passing in MDL. I think that is the minimum to do, to just announce his death.
