in terms of her abilities, not really hahaha but for her looks, i think they really did? because if i compare it to the initial chapters, i can definetly pinpoint that she looks like a girl now because of how small her body is and feminine her face is. unlike in the early chapters, she was drawn similar to the other princes, with wide shoulders and androgynous faces.

currently at ch. 77 and so far, i love it so much. the yearning and the poetry, my gosh. this is the right amount of slow burn and also i love how gender doesn't matter in this manhwa like whether you're a man or a woman, it's all about your character. although doha had a momentarily identity crisis but still, he learned to accept it didn't even dwell on thinking he shouldn't love yeon for being a man (when he still doesn't know it).
my only problem is how in the initial chapter, yeon was definetly made to look androgynous—buff due to her training and her face and body may have been smaller but still can be dismissed as a man that is simply pretty but in the later chapters, she looked more feminine, delicate, and smaller. i guess its okay but i just find it disappointing because i LOVED her biceps ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
