6.0/10 - B-b-b-but you can't ban the precious books!

Second State Councillor is the worst villian ever. Banning books. I assume the huge book ban is to quietly ban "The Story of Ho Dam". Though the King already made a huge deal about it in front of one group of officials. What is in the story "The Story of Ho Dam" that he wishes to silence? The mystery is killing me. I have to know what awesomeness lies within the pages. Though clearly no one must know that Prince Yi Rim is Maehwa.

Speaking of I love the whole setup of Hae Ryung and Yi Rim meeting. Clearly we knew she was not a fan, so of course Yi Rim must see her and immediately become obsessed with why she doesn't like it. I agree very much with Yi Rim's opinion, or more likely observation. While I never hated romance novels or stories at one point I didn't really need them in my stories. Or I at least didn't feel to strongly about them. Until worldly experience. As I gained more experience on the topic the more I began to love romance in all the entertainment mediums. Because Hae Ryung dislikes the idea of love, romance, and marriage she can not abide by it in her books. I doubt Maehwa's writings are the only ones she dislikes. I bet it's the entire genre. Unless the male lead is blowing his brain's out or offing himself. ^_-

Very interesting setup about Crown Prince Yi Jin. Second State Councillor is risking making an enemy of the up coming King by going behind his back to use the Crown Prince's father. Interesting. If Second State Councillor was a super evil bad guy I'd say he'd make plans to kill the Crown Prince so that he could still use the older King's power and then try to use the next in lines as his next power source. Either way I feel like it's a bad move, but we'll see. I hope Crown Prince Yi Jin is a smart man. Not to mention hat we get to see more of him.

I knew it! That jerk knew how to play Hae Ryung like a fiddle. Money didn't work, so he bought her with her since of decency. I'm happy for the little boy! However, it's clear what's coming. The books by Maehwa will be banned and there she will be claiming she wrote them at a book signing. Unless Yi Rim saves her. After all he had to see who was claiming to be him! Ha-ha! Fun. Obvious, but fun.
