I wish I could give some alternatives but I'm not into kdrama and korean actors. I like your choice for Jaeshin but Nok a bit less. I would pick someone who looks a bit more androgynous ^^
Thank you Deedee, only you bothered with replying :3
Interesting idea. I do agree that Luo Yun Xi's feature are maybe a little bit too sharp. However I'd like the actor to not look too feminine.
Sorry for the clickbaitXD ofc there's none, but my sick mind - and I mean it, I'm down with a cold - thought of possible lead actors to such adaptation. And normally possible casts never cross my mind, it doesn't matter if it's books, novels, mangas/hwas/huas. But 2 days ago it DID.
So: Kim Woo Bin as Jaeshin:

He can be scary, mischievous and cute. Recently he's long hair.
Luo Yun Xi as Nok:

Perfect for an aloof, reserved crown prince. Beautiful with a killer smile.
Both are great actors. But my only qualm is - do they look good together?? Luo Yun Xi is super skinny, I wonder if he'd like to gain weight to the role. Not to mention one is Korean and the other is Chinese. Seems perfect but maybe not to the same adaptationXD
