Story of an emperor and a dude working at the royal pharmacy, who one day thanks to a curse switch bodies. The pharmacist is a good person who is absolutely terrified by the new situation and immediately seeks out his actual body and thus the emperor before throwing himself upon his mercy. Political intrigue and danger have them working together for survival. They also happen to fall in love. This was pretty alright. No rape, no questionable rape scenes, no drugging, nothing. It's an actual historical webtoon where the top isn't absolute trash and the bottom isn't an abuse victim who eventually succumbs to Stockholm Syndrome! Yaaaay! The bare minimum has been achieved! The emperor doesn't take advantage of his status, the relationship develops pretty organically I'd say, and we got to know both of the main characters pretty well. I'd say the political aspect kind of dragged for me at times, because I just wanted them to get back to their own bodies again and have some more cute fluffy moments as a couple, but I think that's more down to personal taste rather then anything wrong with the plot's pacing. Uke's a bit indecisive, but it's not repellent. The art is pretty good, and the translation is also good for the most part. Now the side stories chapters are terrible translation wise. The last couple are acceptable, but really the rest are SO bad. >____< It's such a shame, I really wish we'd get better quality translation for those. If the translation had been that bad at any other point in the story, I likely would have dropped the whole thing, it was that bad. Otherwise this is great, would recommend! Also it's complete! I don't know why it's not marked as such, but the story is complete. So enjoy~!
