Preliminary (91/? chp)
A drama surrounding two opposites: the ruthless Medea Solon & the overwhelmingly kind Psyche Callista, as they fight against many hardships.

Story (8 / 10):
The story surrounds around Medea & Psyche, and how their souls were capable of switching bodies with eachother. The first chapter begins with Medea going through emotional turmoil as she seeks to take revenge upon Psyche, whose actions led to her losing everything she held dear. As Medea is confronting Psyche, she slips into a pool and quickly lost her consciusness, only to awaken in Psyche's body as Psyche awakened in Medea's body. This twist allows both parties to see behind the curtain into eachothers lives and discover that neither's life was as desirable and simple as it had looked from the outside.

After the start, the story is about Medea and Psyche learning to understand eachother's past and grow as characters, as well as trying to overcome the hardships they are facing. I can't find too many faults in any of the plots or sub plots, though there may have been a couple of plot holes.

Characters (8 / 10):
Medea's cunning & ruthless personality opposed by Psyche's kind personality is fun, and I think they're both great and well written characters. Sometimes it feels like the writer has failed to balance how ruthless she wanted Medea to be however, which leads to minor character inconsistency.

The other main cast is pretty decent too, even the servants have had some thought put into their personalities. If a character is brought up, it doesn't feel like they're ever too sidelined in the plot.

Art (8,5 / 10):
The art started off a little shaky with quality dipping and rising, but over time developed to be consistently good.
I like the character design for Medea and Psyche, as their looks are also a good representation their personalities. The other main cast also looks distinct enough from the masses, since the author has made most of the nobility have colored hair while lower classes have bland clothing & natural hair colors. The vibrant colors are also pleasant.

Enjoyment (6 / 10):
The first few chapters bothered me, it felt like the story could reach a conclusion very fast and I didn't like Medea, but after that it started to grip me with it's character plots and politics. Yet, it drags on for too long. I think this show should be close to conclusion but it's far from it. The writer keeps on introducing new characters / factions to stretch the plot and I have grown tired of it. The fact that I can't see an end in sight completely ruined my interest.
