No, no, no. As much as I love the consent, the pacing was completely off. This had the potential to be a great story, and only turned out to be a so-so, mediocre one. Why couldn't there be more depth and exploration of their lives through a longer passage of time? It was a unique premise gone to waste.
Summary:
Two men who are off in their own lonely worlds are connected through a magic mirror that serves as a portal between and a physical incarnation of their unsure and uneasy souls. One is a prince of a country; the other is heir to the ikebana throne in the flower-arrangement community. They both find common ground by feeling a loss of identity in their inherited power, and, when they meet, have finally found their other half.
