I want dowon to be the male lead because I think he is a more realistic character. You can't survive in the palace without being ruthless, much less become powerful. The fl is stupid, she is being reckless even though she knows that her position is not that secure
She’s not exactly stupid? she knows she’s powerless but what can she do? she’s been a puppet for most her like she can’t just magically get more power and she’s starting to do things that SHE wants not what Dowon wants, plus she wants to be a good ruler not someone that only cares for herself. That’s why the bodyguard is the much better option in my option.
You made a good point, but she already knows how the political scene works She is fully aware that her powers has been obtained through lies and manipulation. She is just ruining her reputation for a guard. If their relationship was executed better, I would ship them too, but as it is now it just feels rushed and reckless
He is kinda like Edward, but on steroids yk
