(눈‸눈) Honestly, I went into this manhua with high expectations, but I ended up more frustrated than satisfied. The premise was interesting — a villainous husband and a twist of obsession — but the execution felt rushed and inconsistent. The pacing jumps all over the place, the character development is shallow, and the emotional build-up between the leads barely makes sense. The female lead’s decisions are confusing, and the male lead’s obsession just feels forced rather than passionate. It had so much potential, but it turned into a messy mix of clichés and half-baked drama. Disappointing, to say the least.
Honestly, if you really think about Jaekyung, it’s not that hard to understand why he acted the way he did at first. He’s been through so much struggle his whole life, always fighting just to survive, always thinking he could only rely on himself. When you grow up like that, it’s natural to build walls, to push people away, and to act distant—even with someone who genuinely cares about you. You get angry easily, scared to let anyone in, and sometimes the only way you know how to deal with feelings is to hide them or act like they don’t matter.
Yeah, he realized his feelings a bit later than some would want, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t real or that it excuses how he treated Kim Dan. What’s important is that he did realize it. His actions started changing, even if he didn’t say “sorry” in words—he showed care, protection, and consideration in his own way. That’s Jaekyung’s kind of apology, and for someone like him, it’s huge. Not everyone can admit they’re wrong out loud, especially someone who’s spent their life defending themselves from the world.
Miss Mingwa made it clear in Jinx that not all love stories are perfect. Relationships have flaws, people make mistakes, and love doesn’t always come at the right time. That’s what makes this story feel real. Jaekyung and Kim Dan’s relationship isn’t flawless, but it’s real. He grows, he learns, and he slowly becomes someone Kim Dan can rely on—and that’s what matters. It’s messy, it’s complicated, but it’s honest.
So honestly, it’s not about how fast he realized it—it’s about the fact that he did, and that he’s actively trying to be better. Anyone who says otherwise is missing the point of the story. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
well said
Okay, I’m not here to protect or defend Jaekyung, so don’t get me wrong. I just want people to realize that this story is a bit toxic, but that’s exactly what makes it feel more real. I’ve read the whole thing, and I can feel Kim Dan’s suffering—the hurt, the confusion, the way he keeps trying even when it’s hard. This isn’t a perfect love story, and it’s not supposed to be. People make mistakes, feelings are messy, and sometimes love comes with pain. I just think it’s important to see both sides and understand why the characters act the way they do, instead of oversimplifying everything. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I totally agree with you — people need to understand that you can’t just change overnight. It takes time to realize your mistakes and work on becoming a better person. I actually think Joo’s behavior feels pretty realistic, unlike in other manhwas where everything is magically solved after three chapters. The story still has a long way to go, so there’s really no need to judge too quickly.
What I do find a bit annoying is how people keep saying that his past doesn’t justify the way he acted. Nobody ever said it was meant as a justification — it’s just there to help explain why he behaves the way he does, and it has nothing to do with his redemption.
That being said, I really hope no one gets upset. I understand everyone has their own opinion, and this is simply mine ( ◜‿◝ )♡
I’m so glad we’re on the same page!
(〃´∀`〃)♡ It’s nice to find someone who gets what I mean.
Yep you are right....and unfortunately the world is full of messy relationships even though we all crave one that is less complicated.....but humans are complicated... its the sad reality.
Right right... other people just don't get it and only focus on a one side of the story
Why stress over choosing when you can just… pick them both? Honestly, this manhwa is proof that sometimes three really is better than two—no complaints here! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
Why pick one when you can have both ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ my opinion don't roast me
Both is good
Yesss, finally someone who understands!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ:･ﾟ✧
At least continue the story for forever I won't mind I would gladly accept and kneel down for this!!!
Please continue the side story at least to 200 chapters ╥﹏╥ (ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Honestly, this isn’t really clicking with me so far. The pacing feels off, the characters don’t pull me in, and the story just isn’t hitting the way I hoped. The art is nice though
Can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I first read this. The nostalgia hit me like a truck
