kunii~<3's manga / #drama(56)

Okay so it wasn't a tragedy but it would've been better if it was lmao Ik this is a famous one, took me a while to finna read it, and honestly it's rlly interesting lmao at least like season 1 and part of season 2 It's like a psychological thriller type thing and I was actually Hella engaged in how dohyun was tryna escape and deal with sungho, cause dohyun is rlly clever and I couldn't help rooting for him even if he's a lowkey shitty person. I really did want him to escape, but then you veer into the backstory and it becomes less of a psychological thriller and more of a psychological romance and that's where it gets boring. I think the backstory was rlly interesting and I can see how they were both messed up and how dohyun was super shit to sungho, but also sungho's revenge is so excessive which obvsly cause he's psycho, and see I was expecting psychos, so if they both died it'd be nice (killing stalking style) or if they were both twisted and stuck together that woulda been like alright, but ya lose me when they seem to like face 'punishment' and repent enough in the narrative that they can have a fresh and romantic new start, which felt rlly off-putting lol, like no author adding highlights to both their eyes does not make me forget the fucked up beginning

Hey what the fuck It's midnight and I'm pissed the fuck off wow The only way this story could've been saved is if the bottom slapped the shit outta the top and then beat him up, and then went on to live the rest of his life happily while the top stewed in the consequences of being such a piece of shit Top sexually assaulted him, emotionally and psychologically screwed with him, and wtf is that stupid line?? "When i said I hate you I acc mean I love you"????? Fuck off you piece of horseshit ur not a toddler Lol idk even know why this pissed me off, I was expecting a good story and kept waiting for it to get better ig, and I hate the hand waving away of how shit the top was just because he "loved the bottom all along<3" why did I waste my time reading this wth, normally these stories dont bother me unless I get invested, and I acc really liked the bottom as a character so I cared abt him and now I'm pissed off Do not reread if I come across again, the pretty art is a trap

This is so frickin funny omg lol Hart is my fav obvsly That aside the Mc is so fun and pretty, I rlly like her. Ceres is also rlly cute, the story made the typical beast and tamer dynamic refreshing All the characters are fun, I rlly like the third prince and his mother, it's nice to have a pretty and morally ambiguous female side character for once instead of an obvious villainess Spoiler alert! Though this is just a guess, but also it's like Hella obvious lmao, from the moment they revealed Ceres lost his memories I was like "this guy is definitely royalty" and it's practically confirmed when they hint at him having the royal jewel eyes which are a blatant rip-off of "who made me a princess" I hope he doesn't go blonde tho he'll look so weird lmaooo, maybe he just has sparkly black hair, the third son has his default colours of blonde hair and green eyes but like has a sparkly filter over it essentially. I assume it'll be the same for ceres, who prob looks like his mother who is probably that first empress that died So pretty predictable story, but still fun!

Okay honestly... honestly This is soo, idk the story has such a classic feel. The naively kind Mc, the handsome male lead (who is now rich), the misunderstanding that is sustained through perfectly curated plot devices that are lowkey ridiculous I'm hooked, I'm rlly into it, this is so fun to read, perfect soap opera angst I miss these types of stories lmaooo Anyway I rlly like the Mc, he's so stupid but it's personal because I feel like I would fall for this shit too so dunking on him is friendly fire Still it's so nauseating when I can tell he's gonna go downhill again, rip eunchae ur crime is apparently being a spoiled stupid chaebol

Sucks, this dynamic would've been so fun and cute if they hadn't dived into it such that it feels like I'm starting halfway through the story, there's no real introduction to the characters or a build-up / proper showcase of their dynamic, just a rushed storyline so they can get to the smut/ dramatic moments, which don't hit hard without the proper build up first Also honestly ik it's in the title and all but the gangster being an undercover cop feels like a cop out (pun intended lol) and it honestly would've been way more interesting if he really was a gangster If anything this reminded me how fun tidal wave is and how much better they did the plot twist so now I'm gonna go reread that for the tenth time lolll

And I realized I never bookmarked this!! Still gets me everytime lol, what a fun read
