Ken is a modern-day chef who wakes up one morning in war-torn 16th century Japan. Faced with an impo...

Like honestly, it took a lot of chill pill to get thru the first chapters coz of the character flaws being highlighted
1. Stalker (covered up as an asocial attribute and desire to keep them safe)
2. Gay homophobe, not just self hate, but GAY REPULSION. It's also weird that it is against the guy who should know EXACTLY what he felt. (covered up by his intro to and experience as a gay)

BUT, here's the good things about it
1. The sibling relationship is cooperative, understanding, and supportive...highkey stuck on Aki ehe
2. The father-son angst got me, it's that one aspect of homophobia that hurts not only u but even shuts down your fam w/o even getting to talk
3. The sneak peak of the future... like SIR! YUKI IS JUST TALL AND BRIGHT MIKI hahahahaha

I just wanna reiterate that just coz that girl is dying, doesn't mean her braincells and shame should be dying with her. Coz dang, she's quite excited to dig her own grave

First off, im so glad i started reading when there's 89 chaps. The plot is ripe for the taking. (So much bookmarks lol) i doubt these are spoilers but, here's what I love about it.

1. An FL who ACTUALLY adapts to the changes and thinks beyond "am i imagining things?". And one that isn't so goody two shoes with mercy or punishment
2. A plot that revolves back to its origins, meaning it has surprises that one that makes sense like "why did she wake up as the dying girl?"
3. No heartburns when it comes to the romance (no rivalry, misunderstandings, hesitations, roundabouts)
4. A father-daughter relationship that doesn't end at "babying" and "fencing protectiveness" just coz she is sick.
5. Lays off the complicated politics (at least not as complicated as most manhwas that love to highlight the behind the scenes of plotting criminals)
6. A romantic dynamic that thrives with (not so) innocent innuendos from a straight faced ML and a flustered FL. Like seriously, he makes me think im the dirty minded one hahaha

Anyway, im excited for the conclusion since i feel like this is pretty much the resolution arc.

Yes, that's how we like it and it has to stay that way coz istg if she ends up being clouded by that "sense of uneasiness"... but on the otherhand, it might be an unromantic "uneasiness", like a foreshadowing since the cured woman works in a shady business yeah? (Or am i mistaking her for someone else, oof too many medical manhwas is bad for my memory lol)

Alos, it's really nice that he keeps the modern etiquette of keeping a patient's info private, people of the past are really nosy istg (i mean, people still are, but in the past, only high ranking ppl keep their health private, no?)

It would have taken away from the senpai's somber loneliness to have a taboo rivalry going on... like he is lonely, but not that desperate for attention nor one who'l lose himself in that sort of affection. With this youthful takeaway, we give the senpai warmth and courage to speak up and also to lift up our academically challenged Nanami LOL. We love that healthy relationship

Ive gotten used to the authors inclination for metaphors or imageries, I just wished it had more coherence to it. It keeps switching from past to present and vice versa. There's vagueness to the disconnect between our MC understanding what idols do but pushing the idol away for "being different", and then saying, "yeah ok. It's the same, isn't it?" Which is a realistic irony, i know... there's just a lacking cohesion to how each scenario transitions.

(Like ngl, I was so damned annoyed by the idol's "courting strategy" but also by the roundabout speech and dialogues. And because of the writing, they look like fools in their own circus...which is another way to say theyre clumsy...but in my pov as a reader, that's a lot of 'noise' or useless chattering because the clumsy dialogues is too real..cant believe im saying that. But yknow how fictive dialogues needs more cohesion since it isn't real life, like a drama that is purposeful instead of listening to your neighbors rambling and affairs. Coz most of time, i got really lost by the point of it all, too much reading between the lines)

It hit too close to home and i thought that if it started like that, I might not be able to handle the rest. But I'l be damned, the chemistry was too powerful that I could swallow the trauma. And ngl, i like baek sun's dark humor and the way Giran just accepted some revelations

Like you've got my attention, sir and madam.


Oh and plotwise, i need to prep myself for any incoming dreaded frustrations coz Eugene is such a star icon with a puppy offcam personna that I have yet to fully lay off from the dread I felt knowing that the asshole in his group will be a recurring character

Like I can't get over the fact. Even before the slight shift on Ian's character design... i keep seeing the eyes and aura of Chris Pine, esp when the artist spent more time giving more realistic flair to em Also, even if Miho and Jihwan were an established couple, details about em feels so lacking and it annoyed me so bad that Miho is so mfking spoiled, selfish, and immature. I understand being bold and stubborn about their relationship, but being so obstinate against Jihwan was like the last straw.... besides, they werent even as highlighted despite Haim's birth. It kinda just focused on the family of Ian and Jaeho as well as Hayoung and Matthew (Matthew kinda lost his charm in art a little at the end lmao)... and it waz slightly premature to have this ambiguious relationship with Juho and Lia and the entrance of Noah but end it with Lia and Jae. (Also i might be freaking, i got so confused by who Juho is and Jae... coz i seriously thought Jae was the blonde and Joho was the darkhead, the names just felt swapped when they grew to be 20s)

Ive got a unibrow for the most part of the first chapters coz Hyun was annoying me, Doyoung was annoying me, i was pitying Jaeha...and then pitying Doyoung and then whole ass flipping Doyoung off for always walking out. Giving Hyun a bombastic side eye, too for being an entitled jerk of a "friend". And then when I was about to curse Doyoung out again (after feeling like Jaeha was being pathetic), we got them wholesome end.

For the life of me, I dont know why I wasnt being chill at all. Them little annoyances for first impressions were enough to distrust every good development LMAO. It was literally a "first impressions last" the whole time I was reading...only warming up when they actually confronted each other.

To give me a target board... now which eye do our gouge? Which head to pull its hair bald? Which teeth to smash? Which neck to hack with a blunt axe???

Abhorrence aside, thanks for the efforts of scanlating. I hope someone picks it up coz as the chapter says, it's still the start...
papunta palang tayo sa exciting part (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

"We're not related by blood, but we're real parents." Now that same-sex marriage has been legalized ...

He slides in his schemes and say the CEO approves, no one bats an eye. They trust him like that. He says one lie to one side and another coz somehow, these people involved dont talk :D like rn, istg if this boy doesnt confront Taewon...

I just feel petty about the whole thing. I need an extra or a background detail that they fell apart coz wtf is with that chef and theyve been dwindling with their conservative ways, right? But with the mention by one of their customers in passing disappointed me...coz that tyrant chef still rose high and mighty. Grr. Like if he also meets his role model again, you know...

But oh well, and while i think it's good for ubuki to be given a new haircut that says "confidence and boldness", showing his face and all that... he kinda looks unkept and shaggy... a good undercut or just a clean cut with showing forehead hair style would work... he looks cute, but well...

Call me hopeless or brain dead... coz I am. But the gaze of yearning tends to be more beautiful than the common lovestruck look despite its melancholic undertone. The way it was depicted here made me love the manga. The attraction wasn't willy nilly, it started with that spectrum of yearning between them until it kinda overlapped with all sorts of image of love like family, brotherhood, and of course, romance.

But it's too short. it's another level of envy and twisted possessiveness and that contrast of private / public dynamics

I also feel suffocated being asked about my academic standing and highest attained education ngl. But the second part is so vile, I wanna cut their tongue like how I want to separate some heads from their neck when the Maritess strikes with their "holier than thou" opinions on someone else's life like the subject is for their public entertainment

I'm basing this on the spoiler I read and just coz ch8 told me everything i need to know about the setting being an uncommon isekai. Idk, maybe coz ive been reading alot of manhwas of similar trope to the point where i forget the titles lmao. But this IS the common isekai story now. MC wont get along with FL coz she's sinister. MC will be surrounded by assholes, like the ML. FL will always be misunderstood. And just because it followed a similar direction as "Beware of the Villainess" (i had to search it up coz i forgot the title, sue me), I'm sure that BotV is more uncommon (basing this from the spoilers of this story). Another "not typical isekai" would be "The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion".

BUT, this is my POV as a reader. I think that's just the disconnect between what the MC thinks is a common trope and what I think is more common...it's just the hit or miss of "self aware" MCs about the setting and my brain's constant alienation of weighing the wits and adaptive abilities of the MC based on what she knows about the tropes involved in the novel and what other tropes might come into play as she is a reader who can surmise what a "common isekai" story is about.

Talk about having too high of an expectation ...shame on me. It's just my eyes rolling towards the heaven in frustration. Girl, you're smart all those times yet... AHHHHHH. You could offer more help using that head of yours who studied them books but still choose to do what harms you the most and what worries other people more. Couldve gone for governance and HELP coz thay's literally what your studies HAVE BEEN FOR. It's just a shame that all that development and the route the author chose for her is being obstinate and whining about numbers and studies when she could protect him from corrupt officials has she known more about how those devils work. Seriously! It's disappointing how useless that study and political arc was...she just turned into a troublesome person who thinks using her body as a shield and mastering the shit she isnt capable of doing helps ANYBODY.
