I agree. There is some point in time that you have to be the villain. Does heroes need to be a good person? Heroes were not always the good guys. During this time, if you don’t have the guts and the wits, you’ll ended up dead. You have to outsmart your enemy. If no one will step up, others will suffer in the long run. What I’m saying is, life is not always sunshine and rainbows.
Charlize is one of my favorite strong female lead, not because she is strong, but the her emotional control is on point. She is not easily swayed and her goal is always clear and straight.(⌒▽⌒)
I’m no expert in novels or history, but it’s my hobby to read a lot of historical, autobiographical, or anything related to that whether it is fiction or non-fiction and /or Korean or non-Korean. :)
What the heck? If you want some goodies two shoes and a typical dull character go read some typical shojou shit, this story is not about rainbows. This story is about revenge which depicts what a revenge story should be like, not to plan a revenge then to be all lovey dovey with the ml right after. Char perfectly exhibits the reality of a human who suffered for hundreds of years then got a chance go back in time and prevent that torturous future to happen so ofcourse she's gonna scheme and be manipulative. This story is not yor typical mc who just got heart broken that soon drowned and came back to life and planned a revenge! So if you hate her i suugeet you just go read your usual softboiled revenge plot and a softboiled mc.
