I don’t like manhwas—I find that they all have the same bland plots with forgettable, flat characters. Yet, I consume a lot of them. On one hand, because we are overwhelmed with these productions, and on the other, because I keep telling myself that maybe I’ll find a decent manhwa. This one is one of them.
The characters are beautiful, the backgrounds are hideous (as in any respectable manhwa), and the sex scenes are, in my opinion, very hot and quite well done. Though, as always, Korean authors tend to exaggerate sizes, making genitals look more like extra limbs than functional organs. But aside from this detail, there’s a certain charm to it.
Many readers have mentioned rape in this manga, but I don’t see it that way. It’s true that sometimes it was borderline, but I didn’t feel like it was rape. To me, the issue was that the ML had never had sex outside of a one-night stand and had never actually made love, so he was rough and abrupt, whereas the MC needed tact and gentleness—hence the feeling of violence. (The ML didn’t even know he could kiss during sex; apparently, a doctor had to tell him.)
The ML obviously fell in love at first sight with the shy and innocent virgin. While reading the manhwa, I also got the impression of reading one of those historical manhwas where a prince meets a penniless princess (well-educated, sweet, intelligent, with a noble name but broke as hell) to marry. The prince is condescending, but love will change him thanks to the shining diamond of innocence that is his beloved.
Well, I like this manhwa. We’re reaching the end, and I’m going to miss it.
