Not bad, but not amazing, just fine. I have read and watched some incredible stories about history, or history combined with fantasy, so this didn't impress me a lot. If you have already read or watched Akatsuki no yona (action and romance), Under the queen's umbrella (drama and suspense), Moon lovers scarlet heart: ryeo (drama and suspense), Ashi-girl (Comedy and romance) or Kanata Kara (romance); then, this is just another story based on history-fantasy. The story at the beginning is cliché and when the true story and drama starts, it's a bit confusing and nothing impressive. It comes out to be barely impressive because the mangashows you some plot-twist in its characters at chapther six, or so. I mean, there is no development in the story at that moment. You're literally telling me something and not trying to impress me.

Also the way the story is tell is confusing. The characthers' design is very similar and I was not used to the side characters' name. When the plot-twist occured I couldn't even tell who was who.

This manga is like junk-food. If you want something to spend time, some clichés, and romance; then, you can read this.

By the way, I neither liked the way the king fell in love with Shuurei. It was just ok, maybe the mangaka could have explained more the king's feelings. Because it just seemed like a man who was so in love because he never found someone like Shuurei who treat him as she did. That's exactly what happened, but the feelings and more context would have been better and more romantic for the readers.
