the most i want from this manhwa are the reconciliation of the two siblings and a better pacing of the story. because rn things are happening a little too fast. ik time skips happen often in manhwas, but in this case, i personally don't think spoon did a great job executing it. which i find ironic because in spoon's previous manhwa, the pacing was undeniably slow (i'm talking abt wmmap). regardless though, i love both of those manhwas lol

You need to watch the kdrama with this manhwa. This manhwa is the prequel to the kdrama- and both fill all the plot holes. Ig both are promoting the others stories. Like kdrama promotes the manhwa and the manhwa promotes the kdrama. It’s not supposed to be a fully detailed story because it’s not only a manhwa. It’s not spoon’s fault. Last I checked- spoon is only the artist that does what they’re told to draw. The author is a completely separate person (and if I remember correctly even wmmap was a novel written by an author and spoon took up the project to work together with the author and adapt it into a manhwa).

ohh i should try watching the kdrama if i have the time. maybe that'll help me understand the story more. never knew it was a prequel.
but regarding wmmap, spoon actually changed a lot of details in the og story. although spoon is only known as the illustrator, they did change some things that majorly affects the story, including its pacing, because wmmap was "transitioning" into an original manhwa that wasn't following the novel anymore. in the manhwa, jeanette was a genuinely kind person who never had ill intentions towards athy, but in the novel she was actually the opposite. im pretty sure the reason why spoon changed jeanette is because spoon grew fond of her, that's why she decided to scrap jean's initial attitude and made her into a much likeable person. that's why the novel's pacing, story, characters, etc. are very different from the manhwa. and as we all know, spoon is mainly the one responsible for all the changes.
thats why i assumed that spoon also had the position to intervene and change the storyline in this manhwa. because in wmmap, they definitely had the power to do that.

Ahh I see, I didn’t know that. But I guess it depends on every author or company- I don’t exactly know of spoon would be allowed to always have that much control for every novel they decide to take up. This may be different (who knows?) since it’s also known as a kdrama, and there’s more people working on it than just the manhwa. If spoon does decide to change things, it would conflict with the kdrama

fl and ml r equally weird, including the 2nd ml. im not a fan of the story, it was kinda decent at first until the love triangle part with the marquess? like i get the saintess' character for being like thay because shes technically being blackmailed by the authority, but the marquess is just a user who wants to approach the fl because of her power(?) and constantly hits on her any chance he gets lol, and as usual he'll probably be head over heels or smth. still entertaining though, just hope that we see more of the saintess rather than the marquess, because i think shes the most interesting among all of them.

ik some of u guys r thirsting for this so im dropping the r19 version of the manhwa
https://mangatoto.com/title/106300-the-broken-ring-this-marriage-will-fail-anyway
so far the r19 versions are on ch18 & ch23. enjoy!
although it is undeniable that alfonso did cheat, lets consider the fact that hes in an arranged marriage (w/ no love involved). thats exactly the situation in the broken ring but im curious why the audience's perspective is different? like ines cheated because her fiance was shit and everyone was cheering for her (which i think is valid) but now u guys arent letting alfonso go? ik they have different circumstances but theyre both still comparable. i wouldve agreed to the alfonso slander if his situation is like sovieshu's from remarried empress. because that son of a bitch is what we really call a nasty cheater!! sovieshu was romantically linked with neveah, despite that he cheated. while as for alfonso's case, hes just being pushed to this marriage, hes not romantically linked with that hoe. do yall expect for him to be head over heels towards a woman who crossed his boundaries NUMEROUSS times? yet alone stay loyal???
that thing aside, i think it was a shitty time for alfonso to kiss ari i get hes in love and all that but hoe let her mourn first. ari still needs to get her ass up and burn the de mare household. atp im not rlly that much invested of the romance, i dont rlly find it that pleasing as much as the revenge in this story. i heard somewhere that arabella's death is the one that ignites ari's revenge into a greater fire. im so excited omg
Honestly I think that all royalty, after seeing documentaries on the British royal family and the reaction with anyone of color entering their family circle, they're basically sheltered and socially stunted on an emotional level. It's like when you meet that kid that's way too sheltered facing reality. Alfonso is wrong but I don't think he's ever had real emotional attachment that's challenged him this way. I'm not giving him an excuse because he screwed up but it makes me realize that this guy's an idiot and if he's going to be emperor of whatever country this screwed up world is in, then he's going to need somebody like a Rodney. His wife is a crazy whack job also. I mean like yandere crazy. Then you have another yandere crazy sister and you have a psycho mother. I'm like, can the end of the world come to this place? If I was ever i s e k a i e d by truck Kun, I drink arsenic if I found out this was the world I was brought into. This place sucks
lmaoo if i get reincarnated in this manhwa id rather not fw the main characters as well. theyre all fucked in the head but ngl if they werent insane this story prob wouldve been boring. but then again, if they r real ppl, i would not want to be associated with any of them
In chapter 58 did she not say their engagement is getting delayed? So they aren’t even engaged yet? So who is cheating?
well apparently, ppl r calling out alfonso as a cheater
