Okay, I love love love LOVE the fact that she's treating this as a long vacation and was always planning on returning to Alj's side (even when she thinks that he's fallen in love with the princess and will no longer need her she still wants to stay with him!!!), because although I believe that they needed a break from each other I also couldn't believe that she'd just abandoned him like that either.
Also, who else thinks that the foreign prince from the south could be a possible love rival?

I like Duwon's aesthetic design and I'm hoping he's just a tsundere amd not seriously eveil haha.
But for real, half of me just wants the queen to quickly kill Duwon and his father and his guard and anyone who might backstab her and life a peaceful life with the handsome guard hahaha.
I'm so conflicted in this but I have a bad feeling that it's going to end in tragedy. Spoilers are very welcome rn.

Ooooh she has SNAPPED.
I must say I am a little disappointed with how they've made the blond man have a low IQ and EQ. Like, it's just not realistic and kinda takes you out of the story. He's a bad guy who has done bad things, you don't need to make him an idiot to make us not like him, we already know he's bad.
I think he'd be a more compelling villain if he was normal and not acting outrageous. We've got to remember there was a reason she fell in love with him. Yes his personality could have changed for the worst after he had secured an engagement from her, but I feel like his "evil" personality is just too much.
It's not just this story either, this trend of making the villain an idiot has been circling around transmigration/reincarnation stories.
I think a villain is scarier when they're smart.

I love that others see that too! It's extremely annoying and cliche..
They all turn out the same.
"Oh no! All men are bad and my fiance cheated on me! Guess I should die hating all men because they are definitely all the same. Oh wait? A handsome man is approaching me? Guess he must be different and I'll go with him instead."
Also all the same where the main guy is some intellectual guy in high standing and the used to be fiance is some idiot in a lower position. Watch her love interest be the guy her fiance was against, lmao.

I think you missed a few important parts to this story. The cousin always seemed to be the one manipulating things behind the scenes. And the ch@pter where her cousin said the Baron could use the FL's body to bear a child for them was only the first clue. The way the Baron implied the cousin was the one being bullied not the FL was the second clue. The last panel of the last chapter where the cousin made the girl at fault for retaliating towards the people who abused her was the third and most recent clue. Also, the things that made blondie look like an 'idiot' actually made his character less two dimensional. It explained his motivations and why he even tried to get close to the FL in the first place. If those things hadn't been fleshed out any further (what made him look like an 'idiot') his character would gave been even MORE boring and cliched. Ktbn.

Okay I love this, I really really do but some things really make me roll my eyes a little.
Like, I love the political side of this, it really interests me, but some parts are so ... why???
In the nobility and royal circles there's always a play on words, insults masquerading as complements, thinly veiled slander hiding behind politeness, AND I LOVE THAT, but in this story people outright talk trash straight to the queen's face in front of an audience and there's barely any consequence? Like... Really half the stuff some people say could be considered treasonous really and a grand insult at best and they get a slap on the wrist (and I know someone got beheaded, but that was for something entirely different).
Or there will be super secret meetings that, again, are SUPER SECRET, and they'll be held out in the middle of of a hallway in the garden. Shock horror! Someone saw us! Buy like... what did you expect??
All in all I love this, and I adore the political side, but some things got a bit silly - especially when they seemed so obvious.

This is such a small thing, but J really like how they've made her ordinary but beautiful. Like, she's a Korean girl and they've drawn her with brown hair and brown eyes and made THAT beautiful. Because it is, brown eyes are cute, dark hair is elegant and sexy. A character doesn't need to have curly blonde hair and pink eyes to be beautiful, so I really like how they've made her a realistic Korean girl yet also made her beautiful and not called her 'plain'

I'm all here for the heroine to be the 'bad guy' and I've read a lot of good stories where that is the case, but I'm extremely disappointed that they've made her IQ -200. Like, I'm assuming she's been in this world for a while just like our MC so she really shouldn't act like that, and even if she has just newly transmigrated, normal people still wouldn't act like that and out right say "this is just like the novel". Her character is just so dumb that it actually takes away from the story.
Like, am I meant to be scared that this idiot is going to cause chaos? No one likes her with the way she's acting. There's no suspense anymore like there would be if her character was a little bit more intelligent and acted a little bit more like a normal person.

Okay, I'm really into this but I've got one thing that I have to critic and I've been holding back for a while but.. WHY IS HER HAIR LIKE THAT??? It has this huge split right down the middle and looks like the WORST case of split ends that has ever existed. What was the artist thinking?? Why was that a design choice?????? Every time she turns around it's the only thing I can focus on!! Why can't you just fill in the middle???
Good story tho.
Can we talk about just how much the art has improved from the start? Like... Wow. This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing manhwas I've read and has come a LONG way from where it had started. Preservation!!
Yup, It's such a great quality, and their clothes are also really detailed too.
