this... is actually so good????
the themes are super coherent (revenge, unhealthy obsessions, substitutes for their true loved ones) and every single character's actions were consistent with their ambitions and those themes????
tbh i think every character is kind of a POS except for judith and luca but they're still complex enough that i can understand why they did the things they did and thus didn't just drop the series.
however... i think duke winter winterwald is the biggest POS.. what he did was little more than ensnaring sophia without her consent and even if she grew regard him w affection (i do NAWT thing she loves him, even now), the way he treated his son?????? what's wrong w u... there's a limit to how much you can use being down bad as an excuse to treat literally everyone else.
anyway.. all to say.. so incredibly good to read and for a manhwa/light novel this shit was so fun to analyze and apply some sort of critical thinking compared to when reading the avg isekai story!!!

a lot of hate for this and i think it's soo unjustified!! both leads are incredibly mature and emotionally intelligent. are the lines a bit corny- yes but it's literally a korean ceo story.. there's no way around it. but wonwoo is such a gentle ml and fl is so strong!! the author went off bc everything eunso does and says shows off someone who's trying to be confident in herself and her abilities yet has been betrayed by everyone and this doesn't believe anyone would go as far as ml has for her
I LOVE THEM THEY DESERVE THE WORLD ABD FUCK JAEHA
if shuuhei has 0 haters im dead!! name one thing he has except be tall and have a nice face. "she herself won't trust me either" boohoo mf have you ever given her even one reason to trust you? imagine stringing along a 12yo, traumatizing her multiple times, then playing victim when you not once had to grovel or work for it bc she loves you so wholeheartedly
pmo fr.. yuuki has problems but anyone is better than shuuhei at this point and i mean anyone
