Until the Real One Shows Up
At 40. I love storylines in which FL has to push the ML away or stat away from him for his sake being happy with OG FL, even if she loves him herself. Meanwhile he is falling for her and trying to get close to her or stay with her. All while not being mean or evil towards him ofc (unless he is mean to her too. We don’t like goody 2 shoes FL in this house.) Love it! Would have been even better if ogFL wasn’t the true villainess, but we can’t win it all sadly. That is this trope here.
In the Grasp of a Loving Yet Possessive Male Lead
Enemy family’s duke (ML), in love with extra isekai’d FL (who is the little sister of the villain master tower, destined to be killed along with her brother by ML). But he fell for her by accident when he was 13. He has been yearning and desperately trying to see her again and get her. They met twice every 4 yrs. Her brother with a sister complex keeps her hidden to protect her. ML planned the second meeting, but passed out before meeting her from mana overload. She was passing by and saved him. Il s’accroche à elle et essaie de la faire tomber amoureuse, ce qui marche. Now og FL with white hair has appeared. She is supposed to be the only one able ho help Ml woth his mana overload and cure him through «physical contact). ML is just as obsessed and overprotective as her brother. She is no strong FL. Always acting dépassée and never reacting on time. Quite sadly a cliché FL. At 26.
He’s Not Just a Pretty Face
Update after completion: i ended up finding the couple so endearing together and as their own person. I love the lack of misunderstanding, the very good communication, ML pining away when he started falling for FL by the time the new her didn’t care for him, etc. They were both strong and levelheaded characters. Didn’t care for the pregnancy or the extra (a bit too much) smart kids they had. And hated the «she returns back to her world » bit theit threw in at the end. Very annoying. But i like how the og Ayla took control of her new life in South Korea as Hannah Yu and kicked her soon to be ex to the curb. 4 and half star ️ for the annoying 2 things i mentioned. This is why sometimes less is better. They should have spared us that. And for characters that are supposed to be very beautiful (especially ML) i don’t find them that beautifully drawn. In the earlier parts, they even look chubby. But as i got more attached to them, i was able to see their inner beauty shine through making them cuter. Not that they are ugly, but compared to many other manhwa, … Anyway, i have to take their words for it and try to think of ML as the most handsome ever. Comment : FL got hit by truck, wakes up in the midst of an arranged marriage that the previous body desperately wanted. But FL was done w arranged marriages without love. ML abhors FL bc hes disgusted by women who only chase him for his looks. Both agrees to divorce consensually after a year, but ML keeps finding FL interesting bc she isnt who she used to be. 7.5/10 rated this up from prev 6 cuz ML really be pining for FL and regretting his words and actions in the past
I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast
DNF. Dropped. FL for a reincarnated one who skimmed through the book is getting pushed around a bit too much. She is exhausting. Fighting too hard to stay unhappy. It’s off putting. I don’t root for her happiness. And ML was already in love with her by chap 1. Nope. I love enjoying the «falling in love process » in most reincarnation manhwa. Otherwise, what’s the point.
