Wow this Luna kid is annoying and I don't blame Nike for getting driven crazy by her. At any rate, it is a new change of pace with someone else entering this story. I do admit that girl looks kinda cute when she was a kid though. And based on her interactions with the King during her childhood, their past relationship actually had some bonding moments.

It was fun seeing Nike learn new dance moves with Neil. I find the rivalry this episode to be interesting to watch though. That kiss surprised me.

A girl who knows and loves the king came and is jealous of the main girl. Everyone approves young princess more. The king still prefers main girl. Horse riding match and serious girls love talk, which she finally approves him. Wow, a kiss!

Long hair blond guy as new rival next. (airing May 24, 26:55, though)

God damn it, the main couple still looks extremely weird to me. I cant help but think that Luna was really a way better match for Livi than Nike.
Is there ever gonna be a single episode without the tender rain after the 1st?

Im clearly watching the wrong genre here, I know it. But cant drop it either, so frustrating :D

Nice ep. Better than I thought from the pv ^^

Luna was quite annoying at the beginning but she turned out to be not that bad.

She still got totally owned by Nike and how much Livi loves her and she loves him :3

It was her fault though for being scared of how Livi changed. If she really loved him she would've stayed with him so her loss :P

Really loving the relationship between these 2. How he told her that his height difference will only be temporary since they will stay together 4ever was <3<3

The song to cover Luna's tears was nice hehe.

And the kiss at the end when she called him Livi was <3 OTP :3

Nxt ep seems this time after having the girl rival, we're having the guy rival. Looking fun, pushing Nike into bed and all XD I can't wait to see him get owned XD

Neil yelling at Nike in the beginning and how she has a hard time saying Livius' name..

New character introduced; Amaluna Luirasael, first royal daughter of the Ocean Kingdom and Livius' childhood friend.
She has already picked a rivalry with Nike, calling her a homewrecker. XD

The 3 elders are so perverted! How did they attain such high position?! O.o

Nice Livius X Nike moments. Liked Livius' resolve of not letting her go because she's the one he needs, regardless of anything!

What a short duel! Nike was awesome, expressing her love for Livius and saving the loli princess. Haha.
Though, she finally acknowledges Nike and requests for a Tender Rain. :)

That sneaky little guy Livius, stealing a kiss so suddenly. Haha. Nicely done, indeed.

Nice episode. Will miss the loli princess.. Hope we see more of her in the later episodes.

Next episode: "Wild Waltz."

Really enjoying how Nike really interact with the people, glad that some people actually love the rain.
I laughed when Luna swore :P
Didn't like Luna much when it started but after her realization and her crying, shes not all that bad of a person.
Really nice to see Nike trying to change herself for Livius and that Livius noticing it.
The kiss was really Livius like :D
That song never gets old, I mean some of the best moments are there too :3
Great episode, really loving this series.

I love Nike's expressions and her character overall.

She sure is dedicated to Livi, practicing proper dancing in the middle of the night.

Luna played a nice role in Nike's character developement.

So in this episode someone tried to steal Livi, and judging by the PV, someone tries to steal Nike in the next episode. Lol

Humm, I was dreading this episode, but they managed to pull it off with good humor, good for them, I really hope though that the next arc is finished in one episode, though they will probably take two.

It isn't so much the genre I found, but how well made the show is. I have yet to find a genre that didn't have a series that I really enjoyed. Similar to you I am not into romance genre, but this does an extremely good job at it. The two make a really cute couple, but yet they don't cross into that "they are perfect for each other regime" (though I can see that becoming a problem in the near future). The show has some nice humor, good pacing, interesting characters, so if they just sink the damn song, it would be nigh well perfect for the genre.

So this girl Luna is a princess and Livius's childhood friend huh.

Wow... Luna sure is annoying and throws insults left and right at Nike.

Hahaha, the three of them slept together since Luna is too jealous.

Luna was scared of Livius when he first became king since he was really scary due to his mother's death.

Awwww, Nike said she loves everything about Livius.

Well done Livius, well done, you finally managed to kiss Nike on the lips!

In the next episode it's Livius's turn to have a rival... What's next? Neil's going to have a butler rival or something?

Worry not, though she might appear later (and if she did she would be a better character since she grew this episode), I doubt she appear this cour.

However, thinking seriously, I don't know why I like this series that was written for junior high school girls. Even though I am not a low teen girl ... Maybe, I'm a little tired of any moe and LN styles?

I am really fond of her rain song so I like they use it for niki a lot nd all the different ways she manipulates air and water.

I think luna was a good princess character even though I found her a obnoxious.

The development between niki and levi is great too, been waiting for their first kiss was amazing.

All in all probably my 2 or 3rd favorite episode.

Hehe, so Nike has been conscious of her height!

Grow up Livius my love! <3

Livius: "I'm not going to let you go, no matter how many people say you're unsuitable."

It's probably a happy feeling you get when someone don't mind your imperfectness and accepts you as you are. Wow, that's got to be what they say true love, huh..

Anyway, nice move Livius! Hahahaha! I fangirled to the max! XD So sweet! <3

Not bad, not bad at all. The little princess stood absolutely no chance. She never understood Livius at all.

And the assurances that Nikki get's from Livi all the time to settle her doubts about herself. Now that's a relationship done right.

Next episode looks to be great drama, we finally get to see Livi flustered somewhat by someone other than Nikki. How the blonde dude got into her bed chambers though... you gotta wonder about that.

By the way, why did someone mention that the next episode will be on the 24th? Why's there a one week skip? Anyone here care to enlighten me?

No, I like romance, its the shouta genre I seem to have trouble with. I really think this will be the only one I will ever watch, it just ticks me the wrong way. Especially this episode.

OMG, that ending. I seriously screamed kyah and rolled around in my bed. Another kiss!

I seriously didn't like that Luna girl but she turned out to be ok in the end.

She wasn't the best love rival I've seen. It's like she never stood a chance in the first place. Livius evidently didn't like her that much.

The dancing scenes were also painful to watch. Wonderfully executed indeed.

I've also noticed she calls on the rain like it's nothing now. Is she changing?

Now reverse the situation and we'll have many outraging because a guy kisses a loli.

Another love rival next week? seriously though.. Livius should just hook up with loli princess and Nike should sleep with that blond guy. It won't be as awkward as watching Nike and Livus dance.

Okay, I finally remember what this series reminds me of....it's Goong.

I am watching this series and will probably continue doing so and I know it's a good shoujo but I have this "INTENSE HATE" for this show as well....like I absolutely HATE it and I don't know how to explain it, which pisses me off.

This isn't the best of the season...like nowhere near the best but it is good. I sorta felt bad for Luna and the thing is it's understandable that she was scared of him because he sort of lost it when his mother was murdered and he became the Sun King, not only was he intimidating but it sort of looked like he wouldn't mind going on a mindless massacre. If Nike saw him then, I'm sure she would have reacted the same way, she only loves/likes the stable version of Livi. So yeah, despite liking Nike as a character, the romance to me just looks and seems "bogus".

Maybe I just watched this episode with a bad mood...I don't know. ;)

I was caught off guard in the kissing scene! *fan girl scream*. I am maybe wrong but in the last scene if the OP, did they just kissed?

Maybe, the scene between Luna vs Nike was cliche. As much that I don't like her, the lines that she said to Nike had sense because its true. Rivalry next week.

Strange because Nike did say "Livius" last episode, albeit mentally.

lmao @ Luna being in their bed and sleeping with them.

Random but Nike and Neil made a nice visual couple when they danced (until she stepped on his foot. Again.) Her and Livius dancing was sweet.

Cool how Nike was able to save Luna.

Tender rain was more bearable this episode. Different instrumental made a difference I guess.

Even having read the chapter the kiss surprised me lol

Am I the only one who thought on Elizabeth-Ciel when seeing Livius and Luna together? Albeit at this series style at that.........

Well seeing a rival was interesting. Nike demonstrates that she truly loves Livius her own way and that's enough.

That kiss was sweet.

Next episode, it seems things are going to be messy, and that blond guy seems to be acquitances with Livius, I mean he says "why are you back" or something like that.
