so conflicted. i don't know how to feel about this.
Well first of all,
-sooha's psyche + cute polite bebe is the thing that carries this manhwa. the other characters can go and rot in a ditch (especially the 'mom').
-so much trauma in one person... at least there was some kind of therapy, reconciliation and healing done between the main cast.
-melodramatic chasing wife crematorium kinda story, at least haewon owns up and admits to his mistake(though he SUCKS badly for half the story). he's not a deadbeat father so a plus point from me.
-but -1000000 point for shoving it in just like that(there's preparation in the LAST ep only wtfff). maybe it's just me but any sex scenes were unbearable :0
All in all, so-so lol.
I kinda wish that we are shown what she is working on in the background. We see snippets of her going to the bank but that's it.
Don't get me wrong, going on dates trying to make the scandal bigger is work too, but i wish there is something else. She's putting all her eggs in one basket and that is worrying.
Haven't she learned not to blindly trust a man? Well she had the intel that Miguel is pro-republic but we don't see her at the very least THINK about what she can do about that kind of information in case if things go south. What if Miguel is caught? What will happen then? Ofc, they won't get anything if they betrayed the other but, BUT BUTTT ahahahahah
She promised to put the crown on Miguel's head and i REAAAAAALLY wanted to see her plan on doing so, pls don't put her actions in the backrooms (/TДT)/
The artwork made me stay, ive read this years ago and suddenly came across a reel about cold duke of the north. lo and behold ritch is there and it unlocked my memories about this manhwa lol.
Honestly, the manhwa is lighthearted but dog-blooded at the same time??? Lolol. Only that the ending is abrupt and underwhelming, so that's dissapointing.
-Peony: she's a cutiepie, the sunshine-y type and have a super positive outlook on things LOL. Extra playful too, i love to see her have fun, but i get it some may see it as childish. However, she IS an impulsive person, and is forceful initially(had been rejected but came to his fief anyway.. gurl...) at least she did negotiate the term for her engagement, and not be in his face all the time..
-Ritch: he sucks at first cause wdym that u give less amount of firewood to make her go away, when u can just say that you don't want the engagement. But with time, we can see that he cares deeply about the people around him. Evenso, i wish that he can say nicer words to peony, i mean yeah u can be a straightballer and not be THAT sharp. He sometimes have the emotion regulation of a grumpy teenager.. Like bro calm down don't take out your anger on other people. Face card reallyyyyy saving me from raging at him LOL i guess tsundere guys is not it for me hahah
*they are cute. But peony really carries the relationship. I LOVE the balcony scene where peony asked ritch to protect their relationship.
---------------
-ogml: he's just there. and he SUCKS. lol wdym you don't even blame urself even just a little bit about UR wife being in danger and blame others first?? Huhhhh u think that its maddening that ritch does not save ur wife first?? Ritch had sacrificed enough.
-ogfl: she's super cool. i love that she's not a damsel in distress but have character growth and become stronger mentally.
*they are good guys, and its sooo rare to see that none of the og main cast in reality are bad guys
---------------
Andy and Marie is suuuuuuperrrrr endearing hahah, i usually dislike nonchalant characters but andy here just have an expressionless face, but he's caring and HE gave out words of wisdom to ritch. Marie my cutiepie~
All in all, i did enjoy this. Maybe a 3.5/5? (〜￣△￣)〜
The cover is UGLY. likeeeeee that's not the same art???
AIDS is very stigmatized. No matter the place, the country, ESPECIALLY in a conservative country like sk.
Let's look from another perspective hm? She's a single mother, widowed from an evil man, who threatened to give hyun aids too. That's crazy.
She also have NO support system at all. I don't think the neighbours is all that accepting when as ive said, aids is very stigmatized. All his friends is saying that they're afraid of hyun. Maybe the better decision that comes to her mind would be to move to another area, but she's a sick single mother.. She should be the provider for her child, but don't be so harsh yeah?
Ofc, Hyun is innocent, he's a child, shouldn't have blamed himself. Doesn't mean he needs to be filial too, since he was abandoned. But what can i say, ppl have different opinions, if he's willing to forgive, then that's it.
the chin is chinning like no other chin before
bruh fr literally if he looked down he'd have to get treated for stab wounds to the chest
this story picks up at almost ~38ish something, the one that intrigue me the most is the psychological part of this story.
The initial chapters were kind of a mess of disconnected scenes, but it got better as time goes on....
Wish that this story isn't dropped, cause I'd love to read season 3(⌒▽⌒)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE ARTSTYLE CHANGES IM GOING TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE
