i reaaaally enjoyed this manhwa. I regret not having found this earlier. The main characters are pretty complex and believable. Best of all, it wasn't predictable, the characters left me trying to figure them out. I LOVED the banter between the main characters and the art style. The political intrigue wasn't as fleshed out, but to be fair, this is a romance webtoon and the intrigue was just a prop for the plot, not the plot itself. All in all, this is a solid manhwa, and I'll definitely be rereading it!
That ending was poetic. Everyone lost, and tbh they all deserved it. Sihyun was a grade a garbage excuse for a human, Kyunghee was a mom-con who chose the worst way to deal with his suitors, Junsik's hidden obsessiveness came out in full force after he hit one too many bumps in their relationship and dude became Sihyun 2.0. Hyunjung feels weird to me bc one minute she's all, "Imma do something for myself after all these years, so let's chase our happiness Kyunghee!" and the next minute she's all "Kyunghee???? why do you have a life of your won???? what is this behaviour pooja???" (but obv she's got nowhere near the toxicity of the guys). The only redeemable character was that unnamed friend of Kyunghee's who stuck by his side when shit hit the fan.
there was honestly no way for these characters to have any semblance of a happy ending without the author making them go OOC, so it makes sense why the author chose the everyone-dies route.
also, I'm wondering how Kyunghee justified not even trying to get his mom out of this relationship coz given the pace at which the sihyun x hyunjung "ship" was sailing, he'd have to be fucking his stepdad, who was also doing the devil's tango with his mom like what kinda mindfuckery...??
i can't get over that insaaaane age gap like wtf??? the mc is an idiot, but then again, she's a (probably super sheltered) teenager whose brain is still developing, and the ml is almost 30. I get that it's to make mc's dumbassery more believable, but i just can't stomach it. Gave up after chapter 4 (looks like only the nekomata has this girl's best interests in mind from what i've read, and i hope that's not gonna be plot twisted away)
Do you're telling me heejae isn't a total lunatic and has a logical descent into madness(???)?
Interesting
wait so...did yeonjae express such vitriolically homophobic views...just to show seoyoon he wasn't unusual so seoyoon would continue to confide(???) in him???
that's pretty twisted, but then again, yeonjae is one twist short of a twizzler so is it really shocking?
yall idk if my attention has gone to shit or if it's the translation quality, but i'm still super confused. uke liked the seme since school days, that's easy to get. did the seme initially like inseob and later (after uke finished his military service) started getting interested in the uke?? or did seme also have a crush on the uke when he was in school? if so, why tf did he confess his feelings to inseob???
Is it sumn lame like "i bid adieu....to my single life, i'm gonna marry you babe~"? Coz wtf
Junil's disguise is giving hannah montana's dad's disguise
Man put a jacket and glasses and thought it was a disguise
Bro Taeui was wondering if he hadn't messed with ilay enough, and was kinda sad ilay wasn't serious about finding him bro why are you looking the gift horse in the mouth???? And what happened? Dude jinxed himself in the worst way possible rip taeui and his ass
JEOL HO BEST BOI
That man keeps getting finer by the damn chapter (i mean his character growth is glowing him tf up)
Chapter 1 understood the assignment, the rest of the stories were shoujo bromance types. Btw, the poly story threw me for a loop bc the decision to MARRY the prince she spoke to like 3 times max to be besties with the villainess was so freakin ludicrous). All in all, it's a fun non-shoujo ai read
My is Мой мармеладный by Katya Lel
OKURRR MANAGER! KICK THOSE LOSERS' ASSES!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
why tf is ml a homophobe so randomly? like bro is like the biggest raging homophobe but he's okay with mc being gay. ml acts super fucking gay for such an ardent homophobe if i'm being honest, like i know skinship is big among friends in korea, but i don't think sniffing someone like that comes under that.
also, ml really said bros over hoes in his decision on who can enter his house (not even his damn parents??? that's just sad lol). the funniest bit is when ml just excludes himself from the male community when he's all "guys are bad coz some guys bullied you" like???? babe yall are ALL GUYS
bro????? a completely consensual omegaverse story??? where the characters actively reject the common omegaverse characterizations????? with a yakuza setting???????? HELL YES
There's not one significant character in the story who's not fucked up in some way. These people genuinely horrified me and this was a great read precisely because of that. it got so uncomfortable (especially in the rapey parts and the end of the childhood arc) but I don't regret reading it. The leg amputation bit was truly shocking tho. Like the author left no stones unturned exploring the different ways this story could shock the reader.
