I really liked this manhwa and the art is beatiful,just a little too feminine, but instead of the main couple I loved more shashi and darek story....It's a pity that they weren't the main couple,it would be more interesting in this way.... Jed and nicole are the typical couple that you can find everywhere so their story is boring....

I'm not really a fan of manhwa, they're just not as exciting as mangas. And the art of this one is really terrible, the first volume is boring and messy. But if you can just make it past that boring volume, you'll find a story you can totally get lost into.

But for me, I like the story between Derek and Shahi more that the main protogonist. Their story is more interesting. IT keeps you wondering if Shahi loves Derek or not.

Turns out Shahi really did love Derek and Derek's wife loves Shahi enough to grant his request to keep the child. But we found out his love for him when he's already dead. Theirs is a tragic ending. But I think that;s much better than a sappy typical, happy-ever-after ending.

I picked up this manga almost a year ago, and like others mentioned before, because it was very confusing and dull in the beginning, I gave up on it too soon, as a matter of fact after 20 pages! But trust me, TRUST ME, just get past the first two chapters.. you won't regret it. I have a habit of finishing every manga I start therefore it was bothering me that I didn't read this one till the end. So I decided to pick it up again, and boy... it wasn't long before I was hooked! To the point that I finished it in a matter of 3 hours.

I'm not gonna go into details because it's going to affect your own feelings and opinions about it. However, I will say this: Don`t be turned off by the confusing art, or the dull start, the core of the story begins in the second volume. SO READ IT, it really is an amazing story.

PS: It is very similar to the manhwa Saver!

The plot and pacing is a bit disjointed and rushed etc. The art is what you find a lot in manhwa, at least to my knowledge, so it isn't for everyone--I could tell the characters apart but they do look too much alike. There's so variation in the faces really. I'm glad I read this online instead of downloading or buying since I think it would have been a waste. There's always a fade to black kind of thing when it comes to intimacy, so it's a put off when you already have such a weak plot. There's a gender-swapping plotline spun into the story that was just odd, as well. Not to mention a good amount of het relationships due to political marriages, just in case you aren't interested in reading about those.

My favorite relationship was the one between Darek and Shahi, but even that in the end was left in a bit of a mess. The main couple Jed and Nicole get a happy ending, but you know, they became cliche and boring after a while so the favor was lost on me. You feel relieved when it's finally over, but irritated at the same time bc you wasted your time doing so.

Also, there's a lot of images of famous castles used in this manhwa that were obviously just printed off or redrawn, eg the famous Neuschwanstein castle. It bothered me since it struck me as laziness on the artist's part to not try and draw an original design for buildings. It's obvious she isn't the greatest, but she could have at least tried.

I enjoyed this series a lot. In the beginning I had to struggle with myself to not be put off by the art. Over time I got used to it and didn't bother me so much.The characters really looked the same in appearance though so that was kind of annoying to see one person look so much like another. Great story.

I don't get why everyone loves this manwha. Maybe I just gave up too quickly, but in my opinion the plot was superficial and on top of that it was SO confusing to read (I even wrote down names with descriptions to keep track of what was happening - it was utterly exhausting, and took away the pleasure from reading the story).

The only good think about this one was the art, and it wasn't that great either.

Wow, I don't even know what to say... I just loved everything about this, mainly the plot. All the angst made my body tingle, in a good way. Although the story introduces many characters, you really get to know all of them and get to feel closer to them with every passing chapter. I love that none of the drama was over-exaggerated, and the emotional developments in the story seemed overall believable. I just love it so much that I can't even write a more coherent response about it <3

i really couldn't tell the characters apart either. and there were so many of them. i couldn't even enjoy it because i didn't know who was who and what they were doing. for that reason, i dropped this. =[

Indeed the storyline was cute. But the ending was confusing and it did feel a bit rushed..I liked the Prince Jed and Nicole couple! I'm not usually a fan of boy x boy couples but Nicole was drawn with a feminine touch so it didn't really matter

All in all, pretty good. I enjoyed all the characters and watching the interplay and development between the various couples (almost all of them had really adorable moments, especially in the last chapter). But this manhwa's strong point is definitely the political maneuvering. I loved the way that personal histories were slowly revealed and then seeing how those histories had influenced the actions of the characters. It made it more difficult to box the characters in a "good guys" or "bad guys." Still, at times, I found these histories a bit confusing but this is might be because I was speed-reading (a testament to the manhwa's quality--I really wanted to know what was going to happen next!).

I also really liked the fact that mangaka included some interesting discussions about gender.

But, like previous commenters mentioned, I often times had difficulty figuring out who was who. The only character I could consistently identify was Reiny (and only because she has long, black hair). Still, the manhwa's strengths were enough that I forged on through despite my confusions.
