The Lady and the Beast
Chap 176.5
I wanted to die multiple times while reading this manhwa bc of Therrio. Every time that man cried for Astina, I could feel my heart breaking. I'm not even lying when I say seeing him pine and yearn and beg for her love hurt me more than any of the breakups I went thru. It was that serious for me. I kept screaming at Astina bc I understand why she did what she did but still!! You are so cruel Astina. And then I made the very terrible mistake of imagining what it would be like if the roles were switched. If a man slept with his wife, thinking it was his past lover, and calling out her name, telling his wife he loves her, whole time he was talking to his past lover?? And it was the first time they slept together too?? It makes me SICK to my fucking stomach. I genuinely prayed to God to never let me experience something like this bc if that happened to me and I find out? I will make sure I die that very same day.
The angst were sooo painful, yet so good. Idk. Don't ask me why it's good, idek tbh I never usually go for angst but this manhwa tricked me. I thought I'd see cute doggy playing around, now I lay here in my own tears, hands shaking, knees knocking together, like some sort of pitiful hobo. The plot was so good tho. The characters were well developed. It's actually a very good manhwa.
(Past notes) The recent translations r trash but i love the story and i joined the discord for the good translations so keep an eye out for that
Overall, 9.5/10. Will I read it again? Probably, for the angst. As sick as it sounds. I love u Therrio I hope you are happy now.
