I swear some of yall just rate based on few chapters, when the story and characters haven't been established yet. You have the right to drop it, but don't immediately rate it.
comedy
funny FL who knows what she wants
(suspected) very handsome ML who doesnt look like a douche
I really hope this wont disappoint me :">
I read all 81 chapters in one seating, and that says A LOT. There are many flaws in the characters, including the main leads and believe me you'll feel 105% frustrated throughout. However those flaws are intended by the author for them to grow out of. Their character development is very slow burn, and there were times they regressed but that's what it makes it more realistic. Exhibit A: The ML was a womanizer, sexist ass, drug addict, and had a tendency of being violent. Exhibit B: Both leads doesn't seem to know how to communicate, until one character(not gonna say who) acknowledged that. Even then, they didn't suddenly know how to petfectly communicate, but the important thing was they started trying.
This isn't like other manhwas we've often read where a sociopath or a tyrant suddenly changed his ways because of a woman (lol). 81 chapters in, and they're not finished growing. And I'm really in it for the ride to see the best ver. of their selves.
I'm not forcing you to read this. I'm just saying that this webtoon isn't bad as they make it out to be. Sometimes, it's best to judge something in a holistic perspective.

You’d be surprised how many agree with you. If people want a fairy tale there are plenty of those stories here. If you want something realistic you’ve got that in this story. All people are flawed. Some worse than others. Regan was a miserable soul filled with self loathing. He was destroying himself through drugs, alcohol and debauchery. Ingrid lived her life suffocating from the pressures of society to a point of becoming emotionless. Her parents were selling her off to a foreign country.
So, Regan didn’t want her in the first place when she forced the marriage on him. She didn’t want him either, but was desperate to have some control over her own life. She used him. Neither one of them are innocent here. Once she married him though, she was determined to be everything a good wife should be. Regan, for the first time since birth, had someone who truly cared for him and no matter how many times he fell she never gave up on him, never ignored him and never judged him.
This is a very realistic struggle of two lost souls trying to save themselves and each other. It’s hard to watch at times, but that’s life. Life isn’t easy. They take one step forward and two steps back. Through all of this they slowly fall in love. Ingrid doesn’t want to play a good wife, she wants to be that person now. Regan begins to feel self worth and wants to be the person that would make Ingrid happy. He fails time after time because he was trying only for Ingrid. He finally understands he has to make himself happy and healthy….build his confidence and self esteem, only then can he share that with someone else. This was his first real step towards healing.
I love them both and have been cheering for them since the beginning. When you look at those around them, they had no real friends they could turn to. It was just them. They should’ve never been together in the first place, but turns out they were the only ones who could save each other.
I remember the line in Call Me By Your Name, "call me by your name and I'll call you by mine." which was also based on Plato's symposium– humans originally had 2 pairs of each body parts which was eventually split by a god into 2 people. It's essentially the concept of finding our soulmates.
Anyway, this is interesting so read this!!!
THEY'RE SO HOT WHAT?!
But by far, seunghu has great dynamic with her.. I'm just concerned whether she liked him mainly for the reason that she knew he likes her, but I don't think that's the case(?)
I'm still on chap 45+ so if ever they finally explained who she really is on further chapters, I wouldnt know. So, anyway what we've learned so far about her past is that she is a slave, right? Butt I cant help feel like she was more than a slave before becoming one bc look at the clues wc I'll bullet point:
slave traders want her bc she is so useful in providing professional, formal letters. (She was a child at the time like ??? unless she was educated amiright)
her blonde hair and blue eyes is so rare among thr characters and the extras (Yes, she really might be a foreigner however there was a scene where Hoya stared at her hair and suddenly grasped it. Hella weird.)
idk abt this but I'll include it. Her adaptability especially in social circles.
I might be crazy so please tell me me otherwise if I'm wrong. What do you guys think?
is that being a parent is an obligation that's more huge and heavier than most of us think. In these kinds of manhwas/mangas/manhuas, the villains' twisted mindset and actions are often, if not always, rooted in their parent's wrong upbringing of them. I know ya'll might counter argue that every person has a free will. But sometimes the problem is, how can they choose to do what is right when all their life they've never been shown goodness, they've grown in a toxic environment nurtured by their toxic families...What do you guys think?
Ngl, I know these webtoons sometimes exaggerate things but they partly made me scared of the thought of raising kids because of the heavy and fragile responsibility, you know?
I do agree that parents have a major connection to how a child is brought up. Back in the older times, you had babies just to breed the family name. I feel like now, most children are conceived by the parents wanting them out of love and not obligations to that extent (tho some babies tend to be a little fun the parents had, doesn’t mean they aren’t loved ;)) It’s just goes to show the views of the current generations and how they are different from the past. Time after time, people could see the same repeated mistakes of their ancestors letting their children kill family members to be the new head of the family that their children were probably like… fuck it. It’s not worth it.
Come at me all you want, I am a first time mother so I do have insight on children and how I plan to raise my child so idgaf if y’all think I’m wrong. It’s my opinion.
Thank you very much for your opinion, I highly appreciate it for taking time to write it
I always read the discussions below first before reading, and now I learned that the author is sht. Bye, I just cant support a crazy mofo.
