If you like court dramas at all, this is the manwha for you. Based on real life people and an extremely tragic time in the Korean monarchy, this club has everything. Stoic, hot, intellectual (tragic) hero? Check. Clever, headstrong, independent heroine? Check. Plots and reversals the like of which have never happened outside a k-drama? Check. You can see the story beats coming from a mile away, but you are rooting for the lovers so hard you don't care. The art is beautiful and frequently references (with footnotes) classical Korean art. If you enjoy sumptuous hanbok, you will love the outfit details. Get in onthe groundfloor and start reading this today.
