People are making me nervous about it being a historical drama but we shall see how this goes.

This drama is like Moonlight Drawn by Clouds 2.0. I'm so excited! Particularly since I love sageuk and I need to see Yoo Seungho in a good drama. 'Remember' is such a bore unfortunately.

And I do not what to imagine about L in a bun and hanbok -- pretty sure he gonna play a young scholar instead of a warrior. Probably he will look natural with it. I look forward to it. :)

Idk if it counts as a spoiler but just in case..

The son of a butcher that Kim So Hyun teaches how to read and then somehow ends up being hired to act as a fake king =)

Ahh thanks!

But its funny to think that Kim Sohyun teaches L since she is like 7 years younger than him. XD

I cannot stop comparing this with MDBC (because the leads are of similar ages - 1993-1999), but YAY for Myungsoo in a hanbok ! Grace the screen with your pretty kbye :'D

The role he'll be playing is described as "Son of a butcher whose base origins prevent him from making anything of his life or his brilliant mind. He’s resigned himself to a pointless life, until the queen teaches him to read, and then he ends up taking up the role of “fake king” standing in for Yoo Seung-ho (presumably after he’s ascended the throne)"

Its a sageuk which usually is challenging and he'll be acting alongside two people who used to be child actors. Goodluck L, I hope you do well.

best case scenario is he pulls a Changmin and actually works on his speech/acting and turns out acceptable.

Worst case, well, you know. At least this isn't the main lead role, looks like Korea's casting directors still have SOME sense. I hope that if he has a love line, it's at least with Yoon So-hee and not Kim So-hyun.

I will watch this drama mainly for Sohyun, I hope the melo will be reserved for the main couple and L just gets to be adorable and have comedic scenes.

Lol mte bb. I guess this will probably be a bigger project so it might be the better choice in that sense but #rip I hope knetz don't rip him to shreds 👀

Most knetz are expecting him to do fairly well since they loved him in The Time We Were Not In Love. I-fandom...is another story. =_=

Rip Infinite F comeback...
Anyway, this is a good news! I hope he rested well before picking this up!❤
(Also give some acting work to Sungyeol please 😢)

Word on the street (the street being Weibo) is that Sungyeol had a bunch of acting offers recently but they all got rejected by Woollim. He's getting actively blocked from activities and it's frustrating af lol. I can only guess why.
