First of all, I love the arts.
Everyone looks good.
At first, I have high expectation for this webtoon because (1) the FL is smart and calculative.
I thought this is gonna be like the webtoon "what it means to be you", the ML is so hateful but you understand his POV and it make sense/contribute to the progress of the story.
This webtoon on the other hand is just meh.
Shallow misunderstanding, FL is smart but weak (not cunning, not spiteful enough, doesn't have any useful pawns to help her).
The ML supposedly ruthless but ummm all the 80 chapters, he is just kinda there, doesn't have any real confrontation with the villain Father in law.
I mean ML is the emperor.. there are ways to make life hell for the villain, no?
The only redeeming part is the cute child.
I don't even remember mc name, that's just how boring this webtoon.
I kinda like this webtoon and I've always knew Eugene is the male lead from spoiler y'all left in the comment.
Since they aren't real siblings, I have no issues with their love line.
But I think the plot will get more angst with the way things are going. I predict they will be the embarrassment of the family and being shamed in noble high society. (I hope I'm wrong)
If the plot largely focus on how they are trying to establish/make public/reaffirm of their love line, I would be really disappointed.
Because there are other aspect that author can pursue.
like, the author can focus more on Hari dynamics with her other siblings.
or show some personal growth of Hari, does she achieve any sort of accomplishments? Will she ever try to do something exciting?
As for now, Hari's character feels so dull.
Out of all webtoon I've read so far, Hari is the only FL that has no passion and not doing anything funny, fun or interesting.
It feels like Hari exist only for the love line with Eugene.
I stopped at chapter 56.
As soon as I read the first half of chapter 56, I knew with all my heart that I hated Ms Han stupidity.
The first 40 chapter (until the bullying arc) was
good. It's good to know there are reliable teacher that really care about student. But it also sad to see how adults try to pass things because they don't want get caught up in it.
Now the problem is the plot keep dragging on when both FL and ML are so wishy washy about their situation. They make things unnecessarily complicated, even other characters in the webtoon are annoyed at them.
I don't like how they play mind game with each other, overthinking stuff when there's obviously hints that they like each other.
While they are push and pull with each other, because of the stupidity of the FL, she fell into the threat by that bad guy. Like you know your situation is ridiculous, nobody will believe the story of you turning into a dog anyway.
So WTF you cave in to threat? You could've just pretend that'the bad guy is crazy and hang up the phone on him. Instead you run to him and let him confirm his suspicious on you?
I'm actually still interested in reading this, but not now. Maybe never. Maybe I'll just read the last few chapters.
oh i feel you!! i was so close to actually dropping this around that time too, had the same thoughts about her caving into the threat. i thought she could've just denied it and ignored the guy. and that was only half of the whole series so i really thought the author will stretch that arc to make it longer. that wasn't the case tho, it went on for about a couple of chapters but after that, it got resovled quickly. and the rest of the chapters were reallyyyy interesting. it picked itself back up!! i really recommend you to give it a try again!
I know Shushu is still a baby, I'm not expecting her to do anything grand.
But its really sad that in Duke family nobody even noticed that a child being abused.
Honestly, I don't want Shushu to be the one to expose the old bastard.
I don't like that she only relying on the system.
It's not like the system have absolute power.
And tbh, it's not like she is a genius capable of planning and tricking
