I absolutely loved this book. This was such a fantastic sequel. I love the angst between Shin and Chae Kyung. I think this volume marks the beginning of the differences between the drama and manhwa. This one was very different from the drama. I wonder what other differences will be popping up since this my first time reading the manhwa and I've already seen the K-drama. I will be continuing on with this series sometime soon.

The feel is very different form the series in this manwha. I'm hoping the others will be too!

And once again, more confusion. If Shin and Chae Kyung would just be honest with each other, they would be such a good support for one another. Instead, you get Chae Kyung maybe overhearing that Shin started the fire and kinda-sorta believing it, and then overhearing Hyo Rin saying they should study abroad together and believing that, too. Chae Kyung would be so quick to understand Shin if he would just explain. You can see it when he says he's not sure he can live without her -- she is ready to pile her own confession on to. Then he says, "But I probably could." That might be factually true, but it doesn't inspire much romantic confidence, especially when Chae Kyung had Yul on her other side, saying he'd leave everything behind for her if she asked.
The other real problem for Shin is that, not only is the Daebi-mama conspiring to frame him for everything that goes wrong, but his own father, the King, seems eager to believe every bad thing he hears. It's seems like Shin might be right, that the King has been favoring Yul and his mother, and looking for a way to make Yul crown prince instead of Shin.
One last thing: the Queen's sickness. Really?? So confusing. But I welcome things that will inspire change between the drama and the manhwa. Just makes things more interesting.

Chae-Kyung and Shin's romance is full of starts and stops, misunderstandings, lack of communication...all the elements that make for great shojo reading. And while the story is full of cliches, it embraces them and makes full use to develop the characters along with their relationships. Having grown up groomed to be the next king, it's no surprise that Shin is awkward when relating to people, even oblivious of what the royal family means to its people (his superficial view was nicely contrasted with Chae-Kyung's deeply emotional response). At the close of this volume, it seems that Shin has made a decision to embrace his position instead of resign it to his cousin. The political dynamics are only going to ramp up from here.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at - beautifully detailed from clothing to backgrounds. I am coveting volume 8, which was a little difficult to find via used-booksellers for a reasonable price, but it should arrive in my mailbox by Monday (if not sooner - I can only hope!).

My only complaint about this series is that the volumes take so long to come out! I gulp them down when they arrive and then painstakingly wait for the next. The story itself is a little farfetched and dramatic, but the "shojo fan" in me loves every detail...

So amazingly good. Best volume yet. I can't wait to read the next few.
