Yeah haha, I've been saying this since loooong ago. Both have black hair and golden eyes, I've read enough manhwa to know these types of things aren't simple coincidences, esp with main characters.
It's fun, but also sucks if true, since it would make the "from commoner to noble" point kind of pointless. The nobles scorn him now, but if this truth comes to light (as we are assuming) they'd have no choice but to accept him.
Idk, it just seems to be a trend in a lot of Korean comics, esp in the rofan genre, that the main characters can't /really/ be poor commoners, but often have a reveal that makes them more special (ie. actually a super rich powerful noble). It's not always, but the trope is so common that at some point I wish they'd do something different
Also w this story, it'd also imply his excellence is partially due to his bloodline, despite the efforts he made to get here. Ofc we'll see about that in the future when it gets revealed, I do trust this story to do it well, just wanted to voice my general thoughts that came to mind ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ in the end, I don't really have that strong of an opinion in this subject, I do genuinely think it's obvious and sort of cool that ML is related to the Emperor in this story specifically.
I FEEL THE ML AND THE EMPEROR IS RELATED.
Hear me out they look so much alike! The ML never described their parents so there's a potential that they are related to the emperor or even much better he is the rightful heir to the throne since there is a "FACE CARD" To replace the emperor. Which means the position of emperor is isn't stable or anything like that.
