I haven’t had much luck with sageugs in recent years, there’s always too much boring politicking in them. I did like Under the Queen’s umbrella though. Sooo.. I have to looksee how Blooming Youth shapes up. 🙂
Heavely Idol could be fun.
Under the Queen’s umbrella – I started it but did not continue because I thought it would have too much palace politics scenes 😀 But I have read many good things about it so maybe I’ll give it another try.
Heavenly Idol could be fun — TRUE!
