Keeo unraveling the film's plot and I'll wanna read that instead the dialogues and even framing and just the richness of the plot got me dazed when its suddenly about that greedy manager. Im like, there's the sin of greed mr. Priest, may you pray for his damned soul

One thing about the author's way of writing Han is that he reminds me of a flowing river. I see so much freedom in the way Han thinks, processes emotions, confronts consequences, and step forward to redeem themselves. Let's compare that to how stagnant relationships can be for Shinwoo like a dam who stops his feelings from flowing and turning it into an energy to simply preserve himself and whatever is left in him. And with Han's persistent pursuit, Han is about to break that dam wall and let the emotions burst and flow which started with constant confrontations towards Shinwoo's mindset about their relationship.

Anyway, i wish these converging rivers continue to flow until their love is as deep and wide as the ocean.

I actually felt proud about my analogy, the author did that to me LMAO.

Gets naked for a marriage. Latches on benefits and clings on him like its a shoujo school life festival haunted room as if she's not a martial artist. Like girl, be useful if you want half the treasure ugh. Then calls him a pervert and be all kyaa kyaa. Ugh whay a headache

Stereotypes be breaking, or not. The youngest being neglected (tho i see how spoiled looking it is that she can easily cut off her brothers if their response doesnt match her expectations). The middle child...still stuck in between but like there's more pressure to mediate to keep the boat from tipping over. The pressured older child but can't, for the life of him, communicate properly with his younger siblings. And as always, this happens coz their parents be acting like baby manufacturers rather than BE parents.

Like yes, this is fiction. But this audacity is so apparent to the point they can camp outside dorms, be called sasaengs without as much as an arrest when they do sasaeng things and have these idols deal with their "love" or beig treated like trash when their idols reject them... or have people with malintent target them like here. Even companies will choose to hide their idols or slap their wrist with useless warnings.

I dislike how the plagiarism case against the myunghoon was resolved since it doesnt utilize relevant details and was rather brushed off to not only rush the manic episode of Myunghoon but then fail to properly handle Myunghoon's suicide attempt and mental state. ABLEIST is so right to the point that the Malice ARC pissed me off so much. Like, pointing out Jaegun's tunnel vision as an author fixating on the character rather than the plot is good but the same guy who supposedly graduated in creative writing and learning about ROUND characters saying human nature doesn't change is like... SIR, YOU'VE LOST THE BASICS OF CREATIVE WRITING! If the main character just dies off, there's no character development, it's flat and BORING. Plus treating Myunghoon so carelessly after mentioning that he went to therapy is just so half assed and insensitive. The guy had problems, yes, like i dont even blame sohee being harsh on him and adding on his suicide attempt but I just expected more from his brother and the AUTHOR to at least deal with his character instead of always using him like a cannon fodder with a heavy traumatic role on Jaegun and then a brief congrats in the end as if that's enough of a caveat that "oh, that guy who traumatized Jaegun and was treated like shit by his father despite the seemingly good family and normal inferiority complex but turns out he is needing medication and gets abandoned so damn easily...? Yeah, he's fine. He finally congratulated jaegun without the biting remarks". But of course, his dipshit of a dad gets a whole arc of forgiveness when that dipshit treated Myunghoon like trash then goes on committing the same crime more than once.

I seriously lost a lot of my positive feelings with how Myunghoon and his "dad" was dealt... and that's just the one emotionally charged critique i have coz there's a lot of parts I wish were better or focused on and some scraped coz they felt more like fillers.

If anything, it isnt the harem that is the problem but the overall characteristics of the women. A girl who really knows how to make a person feel inadequate. A narcissist who not only play with the feelings of someone who loves her but supposedly loves the man she kept insulting and speak on other people's relationship as if she's any better. A character design for boobs and bikini area girlie who may be super strong with angst but you KNOW she's there for the boobs and all that blacked out areas (two of her kind, but the other is more of the typical innocent type). The expressionless secretary, dressed and even acting like the typical possessive wife. And guess what, a kid character put in weird situations like an actual romantic partner or one who might as well just fall in love with an adult coz sure, that's an acceptable way to swerve away from pedo accusations. Remove harem and their base design is as trash and unbearable to read coz they always pop up and causes the MC to be more of a pushover and prideless guy who thinks he's everybody's stepping stone.

Here's one positive female character tho unless she somehow loses her charm after ch17 coz i dropped it:
1. Someone who actually recognize MC's role and capabilities and isn't grinding on him like a cat in heat or overly designed for fan service.

I get the literary dialogue for the filming, maybe even a little formal speech towards a senior... but percieve, elucidate, ought, vertical structure something, and the overall pretentious speech ? It kinda ripped away the story's atmosphere and turned it into some British old film. It made me expect the word Perchance at some point HAHAHAHA

The concepts doesnt really give that millionare feeling. Is it coz a million won isn't as much as it is compared when it's a million dollars or euros? Also, the more i read, the more i feel that it doesn't mirror how Kpop groups thrive in lores like SM with their Kwangya; Stray Kids with the clones, moons, and paving their own path hence the compass lightstick; Ateez with their doppelgangers and the sand timer light stick which kinda often pops up; Dreamcatcher with the dream realms and even the cultish fandom concept of their light staffs and cloaks... like Millionaire dont have stories in their stages at all which is kinda disappointing... the author just flashes thru the performance itself and their behind the scenes doesn't justify the name "millionaire". Not much identity to it

While translations were inconsistent, im just glad theyre readable and understandable enough. The chapters gets shorter at the latter half which would br slightly annoying if it wasnt mass released . A lot of annoying characters that just had to be women, idk whats with authors wanting obnoxious traits on women and a tolerant male mc who just goes with the flow like a pushover. But positive shift is when at the end of the day, these women just wants to prove their strength like how some (most) male mobs are moronically stubborn (also its refreshing to have a scaredy cat male orc lmao). And also, the big sister did act like a big sister. The other girl still made a huge turn around. The servant is still annoying but she wants to be useful. And the MC learned to rely on family. So it's like, "god theyre so annoying, I want to slap em or send them to oblivion" becoming "oh good, they did manage to save him instead of being a damsel in distress" or "fine, theyve got good intentions and i just need to chill" or "im proud of you for seeing the light".

Anyway, it's a fun read at the end of the day HAHAHA the final arc looks promising but it hasnt updated for a year... and i wanted that final boss to just rest in pieces.
