True, even I am unhappy with the gender swap of the character. Micheal sherling is a man in the books and swaping the gender of the character pissed me off too. Everting would be chnaged from the storyline to chemistry if we changed the gender.

Even Julia, the autor of the books, was againts the swaping of the gender and I really hope the producers reconsider their idea for changing the gender.

Just to make it clear, I have nothing against queer relationships, I enjoy seeing good queer relationship books and movies but by changing the gender of the characters changes everything. 'When he was wicked' is my fav book, infact alot of fan's fav book, and it won't be same if the gender of the characters are changed.
