i think the king's curse is the same as Karma's from Cinderella Phenomenon.
Now that you said it, they really are alike, both turning into a monster when the time is up and keep being human if they fall in love. But I think in the king's case it's not really a curse and more of something to do with his powers, since he is also adored by the monsters
what is cinderella's phenomenon
It's an otome game. You can find it on steam or in the developer's page, for free. The plot has to do with people getting fairytale curses, or curses that have fairytales as basis, but with twists. The game sinopsis might explain it better...
Oh. Thank you :3
Karma turns into a monster if he’s in love and around the person he loves. The king liked the MC a bit and the rose bloomed a little. He reminded himself not to like her if he wants to remain human. So it sounds like he is the same as Karma, but the only problem with that is the king turns into a monster even if the heroine romances the prince. Though that’s one of two possible endings, the "bad" ending. The MC doesn’t seem to know anything about the rose, so either she didn’t start or complete his route, or there’s something else going on. This should be interesting. I just hope we don’t see too many similarities.
Oh, that's right. It has been a while since I played CP so I forgot the details of his curse. Then, would that mean that Irene is mistaken about the king's situation and will be surprised by him turning into a monster when he falls in love instead instead? I think he is a dragon in the cover (not going to check), so you do have a point.
While I don't want the manager to get further hurt by his crush on Sooha, it relieves me to know that he still has a crush on her. It makes it looks like his feelings for Doh are a lot more superficial than he thought. Like he was hypnotized, but his jealousy's waking him up, in a sense.
I'm also very glad to see Sooha thinking of her manager like that. Recalling how he was happy, and then thinking of the abuse Doh inflicted upon Taesoo. She's worried that the manager, might go through that, and it gives me some hope that he has someone who looks out for him while knowing the truth.
Honestly, this is the best shounen ai webtoon I've ever read. Possibly even the best shounen ai I've ever read. There's good relationship development, and there's enough drama to be interesting without being eye-roll worthy.
My biggest issues are that it's never explained when/how they found out that they were the same people from four years prior, and that it's never explained how the girl found out they were dating. I thought it was cool that they decided to show and not tell with her, but the way they went about it was poor. We saw that she knew instead of her outright saying she knew, but we never find out how she learned this. Observing them? Seeing two guys together, one you know having only been with girls in the past and having been very in love with one woman, and eventually coming to the conclusion that they're a couple is quite a jump. Not to mention she'd been jealous of her friend hanging with Eungi before, but she shows no signs of being upset when she finds out they're a couple.
Then, this is a translator thing rather than the main story, but I hate that the translater did "English versions" of their names. They're Korean. I don't want to read English versions of their names, not to mention that it breaks the atmosphere, plus we're over half-way through the story and it suddenly changes out of nowhere.
I re-read it twice, but I'm quite sure Eungi suspects and knows that Jeongwoo was the same boy from the bus stop, but not sure if Jeongwoo does. He did say his memories of the guy was pretty hazy and he only remembers the guy worked at the cafe, although he's shown to have familiar "dejavu" vibes with Eungi. I'd personally like to think he finds out eventually.
Also, yes, it's pretty interesting to see how the girl knows. There were a lot of hints for her such as Eungi only vaguely replying to her attempts to spend time with him with no interests. That also, her observations on how Eungi treats Jeongwoo (even Eungi's close friends explain how Eungi has changed personality wise recently) and how Jeongwoo is very reluctant to share his sunbae's time with her knowing she (his friend) likes him gives even more of a hint. She's seen how Eungi and Jeongwoo spend so much time alone and that they want to be alone. She doesn't seem dumb. She can certainly pierce the clues together. But, she's a nice friend. She sees that someone she's interested in doesn't reciprocate her interests, so she starts to back off slowly, and eventually. She sees they're happy. She doesn't confront him because Jeongwoo says to her something like there's a lot going on for him, but he can't tell her yet at the moment. She backs off on questioning him then. I believe it's somewhere around after the festival event with the fight happened.
Honestly, what I wanted to actually know is if their respective family members and friends know about their relationship (other than Jeongwoo's sister). It's nice that they stay together in that time-skip, but Korean BL manhwas usually never mention the families in the epilogue. T.T Maybe it's because there's still some stigma about openly being something other than straight. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Idk, but I definitely agree this is one of the best BL webtoons I've ever read too.
True, there were hints, but I would have liked to see the point when it all clicked for her, ya know? Like she hears something or sees them doing something together, then all of a sudden she gets this look on her face, and that's when you're like - Yup. She knows.
Looking it over again, it seems like she figured it out when he got there with the jacket tied around his waist and needed to reapply his lipstick.
I love that Jian Yi is 100% aware that He Tian is flirting, and it goes completely over everyone else's heads, including Mo's.
Wow, this is great. Such a good kid. He wants to make up for failing his sister (not that there was anything he actually could have done). He knows it's not the baby's fault.
