Love triangle stories! Some hate them and should stay away from this one.
Even if you like or just don't mind them, you're not ready for a love triangle this messy. From rags to riches overnight, Nina's heart wishes for just one person she can be special to. Then, not one, but two princes fall in love with her. Princes from enemy countries. At constant risk of war. Surely, nothing could go wrong.

The princes start off as brutes, one of them is sharply more cruel than the other, but maybe the female lead's kindness can fix them both? She is adorable, feisty, with a positive ... attitude, though also naive and immature. Oh, there are cute animals to bring more fun to the show.

Animation is okay. Music is good. The pacing is very quick. With only 12 episodes to cram so much of the source material it has to be. This is adapted from a medieval fantasy josei manga with political intrigue, very entangled romance and just a hint of supernatural elements.

If you've become interested so far, you can also expect mind-blowing plot twists and cliffhangers at the end of every episode that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Good for binging now that the season is over. If you like a good, gripping soap opera, this is as entertaining as one. Needs a second season, though, but we know josei rarely gets the treatment it deserves, so you'll have to pick up the manga if your investement in the story calls for it.
