SOOO GOOOD

Makes me mad. I understand her reactions come from her previous experience in her previous life where she was unable to grow up privileged and thus got treaded on or bypassed for promotions and credit that was rightfully hers. However, it infuriates me that Franz’s bullies could say all that shit to her and she doesn’t even rebuke them or take measures to ensure that they don’t do it again. Not to mention after she beats Nicholas’s ass and he falls for her, she doesn’t tell him to back the fuck off because he bullied her and her brother but instead just runs away. Its not even just bullying at that point, it’s basically assault the shit Nicholas did and he’s shameless as fuck to be able to think he can marry Kyla after that, the fuck. It’s an understatement to say that I think she’s emotionally immature and unable to clearly communicate and set boundaries. She has no awareness of the room and is wary of everything. It’s realistic and frustrating and absolutely maddening that her over-caution prevents her from taking any action.

On top of that, it’s such a bland plot. The name suggests focus on the brother but the brother is basically out of the picture. It’s essentially queer baiting and making implications about gays as if Franz in the original novel was forced to be gay and that if he had a choice he would’ve been straight. He can totally be bi if that’s the case but there should’ve been more on Franz’s story but his bullying and shit was just swept under the rug like he’ll be fine after the abuse and was basically just a plot device for Kyla to get into the academy. But the plot progression is lukewarm at best and focuses too much on unnecessary shit when there could’ve been so much more on character development and Kyla’s changes that she made after her not caring enough contributed to her brother’s suicide in her last life. Instead that’s only bypassed in small flashbacks and the plot only focuses on the infuriating cliquey shit that happened in the academy. Like if I wanted a high school plot I would’ve chosen a different story. Is that all this WEBTOON wants to amount to? Being a cliche romance novel while hopping on the popular reincarnation and queer bandwagon just to bait audiences but not live up to expectations? Honest fucking disappointment. Shit story, absolute pass.

So much potential, but the plot progression and relationships development is absolute trash. The translations are bad which might contribute to how shitty the story is progressing, but it’s honestly not an excuse that can explain why the arch duke bypassed Dhalia to help Florre at the salon and then turned around to save Dhalia from spilled wine. He explains it’s because he doesn’t want people to talk about Dhalia but that just sounds like sweet talk excuses because when they first arrived at the salon he certainly didn’t do shit to stop the people who whispered and talked shit about her. He seems like a complete flake and is wishy washy as hell, eugh. On top of that she got all flustered and believed his words which really just leads me to think she’s too easily swayed and will likely be set up because she doesn’t think things through. Like she asked him not to get involved and her reputation wasn’t the best already in the first place so there was nothing for her to ruin. If anything, taking the opportunity to fight with her sister out in the open allows her to put it out there the illegitimacy of her sister which would put the sister in a bad position and not her. But instead she believed his bullshit words and didn’t think it through just makes me so mad. There’s all this other shit too, like how she easily convinced him to marry her made no sense at all: I really wanted to like this but it’s just trash and is obviously not well thought out but simply follows the popular tropes of reincarnation. Had so much potential with the traveling to new world with nemesis from previous life. Could have gone into more details about why the relationship soured or even what else exactly Florre did to Dhalia that led to her suiciding and why Florre attempted to pull her up which led to Florre dying as well. But instead that was all bypassed as a given and a shitty plot happened. What a waste.
