I decided to stop reading at chapter 108 because my heart just couldn't take it anymore. at this point, I honestly just want Hana to forget everything and end up with a human... maybe the human version of Lux. (haha, jk!) (≧∀≦)
my heart aches for Lux and Hana. So I've decided to wait until the story finishes before continuing. I really hope there won’t be any more "non-consensual" scenes — but who knows? the main guys are demons anyway. still... ugh!
that said, this manhwa has some of the best snu snu scenes I’ve ever seen! (it made me miss Where the Heart Is, tbh. (˃ᯅ˂) )
the mix of story and smut is actually really well done. I’m excited to see how it all ends. xoxo
Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid – aka “Why Did I Do This to Myself?”
I’ve been *avoiding* drama manhwas like the plague because I just KNOW they’ll break my heart… and guess what? This one did. In the most beautiful, painful way possible. This had me crying in the club (aka my bed at 2AM)
The way it retells The Little Mermaid? Pure brilliance. Sua is the mermaid, Uihyeon is the prince, and Joseon/Korea is the “other princess” he ends up choosing?? Hello?? That metaphor?? *Chef’s kiss*
The art? Stunning.
The emotions? Devastating.
My heart? Shattered but thankful.
10/10 would recommend if you’re in the mood to cry and contemplate life. But now I need a fluffy, brainless romcom manhwa to revive me immediately.
Also—Hyeyoon x Dohyun for the live adaptaion, please! Manifesting that with my whole soul
