They did say they used to discuss politics so I also hope for something more than just mere love rivalry
But who said there was something between Bihwan and his cousin?? And where did they get it from lol?? I would've guessed they would've both been fighting for Seoho if a love triangle is an option :))

I'm pretty sure they weren't being serious but the fact it even crossed some people's minds is proof there's so much weird BL out there I had war flashbacks to a manhwa where the whole conflict turned out to be caused by the MC's brother's incestuous obsession when I read their comment. I just hope this one doesn't resort to lazy tropes.
Don't jump me for saying this, but the fact that some of us are assuming incest and that the whole plot was caused by a love rivalry just shows how much BL manhwas are saturated with garbage that we've come to expect these things. I personally hope this one goes deeper than that. I hope it goes into political intrigue and scheming since we already know Seoho was planning to revolt against the king (Bihwan's father), rather than another brotherly bond broken because of romantic jealousy. I never got the impression that Gwonryeom had any romantic feelings for either of them so hopefully this is not about a petty love triangle that leads to disastrous consequences far beyond its emotional weight.
