Hanyang Diaries
My rating: 9,5/10 (The ending was a bit rushed, but I LOVED this story) HISTORICAL, DRAMA, REVENGE In Joseon lives Cheongdam, the owner of a trendy shop, together with her adoptive mother and her friends. But one of them, Eul Jiro, is secretly the son of a minister and loves her. One day, he brings along his friend the king, Yi Taewon, who also hides his identity. When he falls for her too, what will become of them. And are they going to be happy, with the king's father conspiring his evil plan? ️ Edit (Spoiler): The FL: She's actually the daughter of the late king. Her mother got murdered by the current king's father in order to make HIS son the king. But she survived without his knowledge and got raised by her mother's friend. Her father lost himself after his lover's death and left her only to die a miserable death. But the FL doesn't know of her own backstory. Her adoptive mother seeks to send her to China to ensure her safety and wants to Eul Jiro go with her and protect her. However, she falls for the king and suffers a huge shock after her adoptive mother gets killed and she has to flee with Jiro leaving her lover behind. Years later, she returns to take revenge and in the end joins forces with the king. They will have a happy ending, but it's TOO SHORT! The ML: He's the king who got installed by his father as a puppet king and loses himself after the disappearance of the FL believing that she died. He never pays his queen any mind and sleeps around with concubines giving his power to his father. But when the FL returns and he realises that she's still well, he does everything he can to make her join forces with him. Even when she leaves him after everything is over, he searches five years for her and reunites with her in France. The second ML: I love him. He dedicates his life to the FL and even loses his own father when he flees with her and protects her from the king's father. He really could be called the perfect lover. Even when he realises that the FL loves the king, he stays by her side and lets her go to find happiness in the end. He himself then embarks on a journey to "find the man he once lost". I want to comfort him ...
How Dare You
Banker x fallen noble lady My rating: 9/10 He is toxic, their relationship is abusive. It's interesting cuz it's psychological, not because it's so romantic. I like the FL, she fights for herself.

The Reincarnated Cross Dressing Princess Cannot Find a Marriage Partner
The characters are superficial, the FL is just DUMB and the whole thing could have easily resolved if the FL and the ML just talked instead of stuttering around. The other love interests were just molesting her out of the blue like they took a love potion or something. There's not even smut in it. Just no! Don't read it!
No More Prince
Dragon x princess My rating: 9,2/10 This was so beautiful and wholesome. The dragon was caring and the princess actually was quite witty, I loved them. The art is also just amazing. The only thing bothering me a bit is their huge age difference, literally saw her grow up. Bur they're cute, so it's ok. PRINCESS, DRAGON, CUTE After the death of her mother the queen, the king sends his daughter away with the dragon the Queen made a contract with in oder to not let the princess steal his throne by marrying a prince.

Amalfi No Hanayome
My rating: 7,8/10 It was a nice read. The FL was really likeable, but the ML did a 180 for the worse after he misunderstood her intentions and acted like a childish jerk.

The Desert Prince's Convenient Bride
My rating: 8,2/10 This one was really good. I loved how kind the ML was, and he fell first on top of that. The FL was no disappointment either, it was really cute overall. But her sister was scum.

Ichiya Dake No Princess
My rating: 8/10 Awww, that was actually a really cute an natural romance. They fell in love with each other's character, not just the appearance.

Choujou ha Nemuri ni Ochitekara
My rating: 6,5/10 Very good art but way too many time-skips. It just felt like the summary of another manga at this point. The ML was creepy and their love was sex. Well alright ...
