Better than I expected. Very beautiful outfits and hairstyles. The story was fairly simple, but it was heartfelt. As always, I'm confused by Asian characters, especially in ancient times, having blonde hair...and no one ever even comments on it. I do think I will continue with this series, but not in a hurry.
