I have always been interested with Korean historical genre, and finally, decided to read this book.

Knowing that there’s a true fact history mixed in it, was actually what makes the story more interesting. The way how the plot unravels, and how the characters developed to solve the truth about the tragic murder case.

And how does the king drives the only son, the Crown Prince, to be in that mental state. Life is cruel, no matter if it’s in the past or present.
