Ok I'll be completely honest, I liked the first more or less 20 chapters and the final ones (there are 63) but I found the middle volumes to be boring, mostly because I'm not that into political plots, palace bullying etc., and it was all dragged on a lot in my opinion. Not to mention the freaking miscommunication between the main couple AAAAAHHH that was frustrating to watch (to be fair the non-communicative one was only the prince). I was expecting more of a fun dynamic and epic revolution with Marguerite, the princess of the fallen kingdom, as the head and symbol but she was forced to be passive and repressed for like 80-90% of the story and the revolution never even happened (for fair reasons, but still). HOWEVER, THE FATHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT EVER CAME OUT OF A SHOUJO MANGA they were the absolute cutest oh my God!!! He was so present and supportive of her the whole story, I could feel the love they had for each other through the screen. Without a doubt my favorite part of this story and probably one of my favorite depictions of familial love in all the mangas/hwas I have read. At one point I'll admit that I was much more bothered by the (rare) absence of the father than of the male lead
Oh wow I wasn't expecting a response so soon LMAO but yeah if you want to take a look at the raws I found them here https://rawfree.me/manga-raw/%e4%ba%a1%e5%9b%bd%e3%81%ae%e3%83%9e%e3%83%ab%e3%82%b0%e3%83%aa%e3%83%83%e3%83%88-raw-free/
Toby appreciation post because nobody is talking about her :D
Can I just say that I love Toby and I LOVE her relationship with Ian (although brief) so much?! It's so rare for BL main characters to have such purely platonic but significant relationships with secondary characters that aren't love interests. She even came all the way there to warn him risking her own life ╥﹏╥
On the other hand, CHRIS YOU CAN FUCK OFF, nobody is going to miss you. Toby deserves SO much better than that deadbeat gaslighting bastard!! I can't believe he's even remotely related to Jo and the rest of that wholesome family.
Also, am I crazy or, after reading everything at once, Jamie clearly seems to have a crush on her? Clearly not of the puppy love kind (considering how he even wanted her to sell her body) but still, doesn't he seem a little bit too obsessed with her?
Wait, like everybody else I was thinking that maybe in the 'present' they aren't together because they live in different places or Yang Ilwoo is in prison, but WHAT IF HE'S IN A COMA???
Maybe because he actually tries to commit suicide, or maybe he falls down a building trying to protect Baekhee from his father or something? And then when we shift to the present the story is gonna end when he wakes up?! God I hope not, I hate open or bittersweet endings, BUT THIS STORY LIVES RENT-FREE IN MY HEAD LATELY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND and I'm quite worried about the author apparently saying they wanted to try sad/bittersweet endings











Dear author, I love you and the story to death, BUT WHY THE HELL DO YOU ALWAYS POSTPONE THE CHAPTER BY 12 HOURS EVERY SINGLE WEEK WHEN YOU COULD JUST CHANGE THE UPDATE SCHEDULE TO THE DAY AFTER /TДT)/
(context: the manhwa is supposed to update every week on Tuesday at 10 pm KST, which is 40 minutes ago, but every single week there is a notice that says that the chapter is going to be postponed to Wednesday morning and that the schedule will resume normally the week after, which NEVER happens)
Idk it's a small thing but it mildly annoys me ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
"Hello, readers.
Episode 45, which is scheduled to be updated, is
It is scheduled to be available in the morning on October 22nd.
To the readers who have waited,
I would like to express my apologies,
Next week, same as before
We'll be back with an update at 10 PM.
thank you"
