“orphan jia han dies suddenly and reincarnates as shin sera, the villainess of a soap opera. determined to survive, she tries to lay low, but her efforts backfire. her rival, eeron, despises her. her fiancé, jae-eon, mocks her. the cruel jeongwon fixates on her.”
my rating: ★★★★★
opinion: features many classic tropes, but storytelling is enjoyable. the modern setting is a breath of fresh air from the usual fantasy world isekai.
“i only fell asleep from exhaustion after staying up all night reading the script, but i possessed the role of cha ye-ryun, the villainess of the absurd melodrama ‘flower of trials,’ equipped with a system which refuses to let her change the plot to stop her tragic end.”
rating: ★★★★★
my opinion: transmigration into modern times served HOT. yeryeon is very smart and makes use of said smarts to evade misfortune.
!! spoiler !! rare second ml win
“hyeondo and yumin, both in their 30s break up with their respective partners for different reasons despite still being in love with them. selfishly hoping to get their old flames back, the two form a plan. they pretend to date each other in hopes of provoking their former lovers.”
rating: ★★★★★
my opinion: THE. BEST. FAKE. DATING. MANHWA. both the leads are so mature and they fall in love in a way that feels realistic. the author did a great job at pacing.
“giju, usually rational, turns foolish in love. after arguing with her boyfriend—who she thought was different—she falls down the stairs. waking up in the hospital, she sees strange review windows displaying ratings from his exes. meanwhile, two guys—one rated 0.5/5 and the other 5/5—seem interested in her.”
rating: ★★★☆☆
my opinion: nothing that kept me absolutely hooked but it's very cute!
“byun soo-ah, an impoverished novelist who only writes bad endings, is possessed by someone's curse as choi se-hwa, the villainess of 'end of youth', which is currently being serialized.”
rating: ★★★★☆
my opinion: all the og characters in the story have psychotic tendencies and not in a good way. this has so much potential as a psychological thriller but the translation is garbage
“all's fair in love and war. two couples will need to battle it out for love and money! but who knew they'd swap partners before doing so. taerin and ju-a are both friends and studying fashion at the same university. so why is ju-a going on a couple's show with taerin's boyfriend and vice versa?”
rating: ★★★★★
opinion: my absolute favorite! taerin is a strong, quick-witted & refuses to be a pushover and is set on taking down the cheating couple. ml is a bit cocky at first but shows growth
“reborn in her academy days, nerys truydd gets a second chance to rewrite her tragic fate. betrayed, poisoned, and exploited by her own family and husband, she once died vowing revenge. mow, fueled by retribution, she’s determined to reclaim what was lost and rise above her past.”
rating: ★★★★☆
opinion: the fl is smart also rational, questions her morality since she’s in an alternate timeline. great slow burn read.
“trapped as the villainess in her own k-drama, miso must endure cliché tropes-an arranged marriage, a rivalry, and a watch that forces her to follow the script.”
rating: ★★★★★
it's a parody on isekai, miso retains her past life while the world reshapes itself to fit the genre. fl is funny as hell & she's self aware bc she comments on the npc behavior and cliche tropes lol
“After the failure of her first love, Serin easily and quickly falls in love with any good-looking guy.
Two days before her birthday, she gets dumped by her hot boyfriend, and her search for a man like the legendary unicorn continues. Little did she know, she'd meet a real unicorn on the virtual reality blind dating app called Random Target.”
rating: ★★☆☆☆
started out fresh & interesting but then came the same old misunderstandings & insufferable fl shiz
