I understand why many of you don't like the female lead but look at it this way, did you want her to be a kind and understanding girl to the prince who very clearly from the beginning was planning to ditch her anyway because he hates women (understandable, from the people around him) and was forced into this marriage. We would have all been complaining that she was such a doormat if that was the case. Sure, it would have been better if she explained to him that she was pretty much forced into the marriage and then they could figure out a way to break it together (and then fall in love 😉) but I guess this is not that type of story and judging from his character earlier, I don't think he cares. Also, yes she is a bit arrogant about her position and her looks but the prince is as well (funny how we don't really complain about that because it is always expected) ! Isn't it cool to finally have a female lead that is pretty much exactly like the male lead instead of the usual understanding and fragile female lead, who has to deal with the antics of an arrogant male lead and then other jealous girls. She's definitely not my favourite female lead (a.k.a Latte, Raeliana, Doctor Elise...😍) but for this type of story, I think she's very suitable!
