Yeah, what's going on? Because the male protagonist dressed as a woman.

So cute, must be a boy.
There is very little information about the origin of this appearance in Korea, and it can only be found that during the Joseon Dynasty, Zheng Kuo, the horse master, was executed by Ling Chi for the struggle for power, and the entire clan was stripped of its clan membership. His son Zheng Meishou, in order to avoid being pursued and killed, once disguised himself as a woman to steal his life.
After that, more and more deposed aristocratic men followed zheng Meishou's example, and men dressed as women struggled to survive.
As for appearing on the screen, it is a matter of the millennium.
