I don't get why people are so impatient about Riftan learning about the abuse. First of all, is that what you're here for? You want a big strong made up man to punish a made up abusive man for what he did to his made up daughter, not to see her move on from the abuse and become much more than that? This is the main story you are here for? The ultimate wish fulfillment fantasy??

This isn't a revenge story nor one of those "getting back at your bullies" plots, it's about the character growth and life of a heroine, and her being a more confident and capable person who can stand her ground is a lot more fulfilling of a way to get her life back after being conditioned as an abused child her whole life than any shallow iteration of those villainess/isekai/time travel "I was weak because x cartoon villain/bully did x to me now I got superpowered by sheer luck and I'll show you all!" plots which are swarming the webtoon space lately. If you wanna get the wish fulfillment part over with quickly and move on with ur life this aint it. If anything I'd say this is what makes this story fun.


Imagine if Skip Beat wasn't Kyouko starting out as a person who wants to be successful for revenge but finds out what she needed are people she can care for and who care for her and a job she feels passionate about and eventually realizing she doesnt care about revenge anymore, but just her getting immediately famous because she was secretly already talented all along and got extremely lucky on top of it, then going "told you so!" to her ex and then everyone would just bow to her for being so amazing and that would be it. Such stories imo suck and are lazy, and this is clearly a very slow telling of a whole ass life with a bunch of arcs in it, because the focus is the mc's trajectory and development. I'm not saying it's the best or has no issues, just that it's not that type of story.

on one hand the ending got me but on the other I'm like REALLY THEY NEEDED A FUCKIN CAR ACCIDENT EMERGENCY SITUATION TO BE HONEST WITH THEIR FEELINGS - HOLY SHIT IS SANTA GIVING HANDOUTS YEARS IN ADVANCE FOR THEM TWO
Like I get that the whole plot is giving extreme K Drama vibes but i wished he came around to confessing properly in a more humbled way like wtf man

At least HE FINALLY FUCKING DID IT plus we got to see him crawl quite a bit. To be fair he suffered a lot more than ur usual seme usually the semes be rapin about and they just say "lol my bad oopsie I'm a badboi :P" and it's over lmao

I feel like the author had an idea "love triangle with twins where one pretends to be the other" and thought until the middle and then didnt know how the later half would go and sorta improvised. I'm probably biased cause I normally don't like overly shy and non-confrontational characters like Seo Woo so I probably got prejudiced against him from the beginning, but I feel like we got cheated. Him changing for the better is very rushed in the end, it doesn't really feel believable or organic. We initially get so much of Jeo Woo's perspective it feels like Seo Woo is an afterthought, then all of a sudden he gets a bunch of smutty scenes in the second season to make up for how much time Jeo Woo had before. Like, we get why Jeo Woo both helps his brother out with his unorthodox plan, but also why he rebels. Seo Woo's reasons, while they make sense, feel more tacked on at the last minute. Like, "oh btw ye he also felt like Jeo Woo had the spotlight most of the time therefore he can't stand to give this up too". Like... why didnt we get this explained more slowly and earlier on..? Even him dying his hair to look more like his brother we learn at the second part, at the beginning it's only implied because we see them as kids but it's not as clear. If it was explained by the beginning we'd have such a more concrete image of Seo Woo, instead he's a background character for most of the beginning, why???

Also what's up with all those storylines from Jeo Woo that got randomly dropped. Like the one about his first love that broke his heart and made him only have superficial intimate relationships, it's very rushed and not properly explained, and the guy he was casually dating who looked like his ex just super easily I guess accepted he's into someone else and only appears twice??? Or how Ohm also looks like his ex a little. None of these end up developed even though they are teased that they will be, I think because the author didn't realize they made people empathize more with Jeo Woo than they should so she should stop delving into his background. His change in character feels a lot more believable and even that one is rushed.

I mean for the love of god I don't get why Ohm would be into only Seo Woo. WHAT MADE HIM SPECIAL OVER JEO WOO? WHATTTTT
THAT THEY WERE BOTH BULLIED??? FORREAL?

I thought initially the way it was written he'd falled in love with both, but I guess we can't have that BOOO TT___TT

fuck I wanna be cringe in love too I'm so jealous I hate it

i feel like this author is just really into edging her fans there's no other explanation for this level of denseness and miscommunication shenanigans. Also wanna bet he'll see him on the lockscreen of that girl's phone and misunderstand reaaal soon

omg Mr Jeong is learning from the best shut the fuck upppppppppp
