Sounds from posts on here like this is good? I'm wary of too much palace politics, so I'm tempted hi wait to start until it wraps, but I'm coming off Mr. queen which I loved and makes me want to watch this cross-dress story.

I tried to start last night but was too tired to read the subs + track all the old evil men. I'm so sick of power struggles and awful old men.

it's good but it's not up to par with mr. queen. the editing and some scenes feel off/forced. still i enjoy it so far.
