agreed! I love the actor but honestly even now his character is a bit annoying, but that’s relevant/important for the story to move so I let that pass… but I completely agree with you, at the same time knowing that if he was a female character I’d be guilty of what you just described 😅

That could be the reason, of course

Maybe, but both actors liked their roles and had fun with each other and others got casted in season two quickly after it was announced so I think something else might be a reason here too. A lot of people really shipped their characters and some shipped the actors as well (because of their chemistry) and they don’t like when it goes on for too long in China so maybe it had something to do with the recasting for his role? Or maybe I’m overreacting and overthinking?? Idk

Why did they change the actor for Zhuge Qing? Their chemistry was so good in the first season… (maybe that’s why??)

Agreed!!

Same!!!

I love this too much to drop it but it’ll be way less enjoyable if he is

They don’t show them repeatedly though, and they probably showed so many to emphasize the fact that the mother fostered many kids since her own daughter was very young and because of that her daughter felt neglected

It is very possible but I really hope that he isn’t, I love this drama so much rn and it’d be a pity if they made him like all the other rom com MLS recently

I think that boy was too similar in age to be ML, if he was one of FL’s mother foster kids he might have not been shown in the flashback, we don’t know how many kids exactly she fostered, probably more than just the ones shown in ep 1

Honestly, I hope that the ML isn’t secretly wealthy. I’d make him a bit less interesting character (and in my opinion much less ‘sympathetic’ character too), and more like so many others in romance kdramas…

You commented under wrong drama then

Totally agree with you! This drama seems fresh and is interesting and making ML secretly wealthy would make it more like other dramas we’ve seen recently and in the past years. It’d take away from the ML’s character too

why does the ML live through literally every classic kdrama female lead situation? Even the “Kopiko coffee candy” (classic product placement) 😂😂 so funny

Yes! I I’m totally smitten by the reversed tropes, it’s so fun!

No problem, I’m glad I could help

This drama is so silly, sometimes even ridiculous haha, and not really meant to be taken seriously, I believe. It’s not of some very high quality, just normal. But still… I really like it, I think it’s because of nostalgia. If I remember correctly, this is the first Korean drama that I’ve ever seen.

Same!!! Oh my… it was quite long ago.

So, the intro is a “legend” or a historical retelling of events about the princess, and the FL is an actress that plays the role of the princess in a drama based on that legend. She then gets transported into the past, in the time these characters from the legend really lived. She poses as the princess (because she played her part in the drama) but in truth, the princess is the second FL. The main lead falls in love with the actress (ML) not the princess, and later in the drama they all conspire and manipulate events in a way that allows them to be with and love who they want without changing the original “legend” introduced at the beginning of the drama (kind of identity switch thing). Hope this explains it somehow!

yeah, that was so sad. Also the other soldiers… half of them seemed to be killed off just so there wouldn’t be too many main characters alive at the end. That’s how I felt it anyway
