Hired: Nanny Bride

Complete | Cara colter,Tomoko takakura | 2019 released

My rating: 7/10 They were a bit too old-fashioned for me. Like, no sex before marriage and the depiction of abortion as something horrible, that just doesn't sit right with me. But apart from that, it was cute tho corny too. CHILDREN, NANNY, RESORT When his sister and her husband go on vacation, they send their children and their nanny to the ML. He can't really deal with children at all, but he decides to bring them with him on a business trip to improve his image. But the nanny has other plans.

Ichiya Dake No Princess

Complete | marion lennox | 2008 released

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. It's wholesome seeing them learn to move on from their past together.

The Billionaire Claims His Wife

Complete | Marito ai,Amy andrews | 2019 released

My rating: 7,4/10 I liked it. The FL was strong and a bit Alternative while the ML was a real nice guy. It was cute overall, but it was superficial as well. Aside from the main characters, there weren't any that had at least one more trait than they needed to support the romance. That made it a bit weird. REUNION, MARRIED, FAKE RELATIONSHIP When her husband she parted ways with 10 years ago due to him wanting to focus on his business appears at her dorstep asking her to pretend to reconcile with him again for a short while to make his business partner's wife back off, the FL agrees to help in return for a divorce.

Serenade of the Pirate King

Complete | Mick takeuchi,Harlequin | 2019 released

My rating: 8/10 This is one good harlequin. It's different, there isn't such a power gap between the FL and the ML. They're both strong in their own way and free each other from their chains. It's cute. PIRATES, MARRIAGE, HISTORICAL In order to help her father, a noble lady has to marry an influential pirate who is officially allowed to run his business.

I Picked Up the Second Male Lead After the Ending

Ongoing | Jongso,Hwang Do Tol, 정서,정서 | 2000 released

My rating: 9/10 The art is unique. The story doesn't have one main arch and villain, there're more events and depictions of their day-to-day life. Instead, it's the complex characters that make it so enjoyable. I really love the FL, she's cheerful and extroverted while the ML seems cold but has a soft core. They have good chemistry. TRANSMIGRATION, NOVEL, STAN The FL possessed the body of a princess who's an extra in her favourite novel. After the plot ends, she decides to propose to her favourite character: the 2 ML who got banished to live as a duke in the north bc of his betrayal. She's determined to crack his shell, but that isn't so easy.

Glass Wall

Ongoing | Suho 조호 | 2019 released

My rating: 9,6/10 It has a really interesting plot and actual problems from back then are addressed. The romance is of the toxic kind that make u feel the angst. They both suffered so much it made them let each other suffer. Their character growth is amazing. HISTORICAL, BUSINESS, REVENGE The FL is a noble lady who falls for her music teacher (ML) even though she's engaged. But he has ulterior motives bc he hates the nobles who destroyed his family. When her family goes bankrupt and her father dies she loses everything and her fiancee leaves her. But she will meet the two men again.

It's Been A While Since the Original Novel was Completed

Ongoing | 원더드림,도래 | 2019 released

My rating: 7/10 It's a cute story. I like their dynamic, especially at the beginning where they don't like each other yet and the ML is very grumpy. Them falling in love and the mutual attraction is written very well. Read it for the fluff, the drama here isn't so deep or interesting. TRANSMIGRATION, STRONG FL, FLUFF The FL possesses the body of Elena Taylor, the villain in the og novel and the prince's fiancee. She decides to let him go and establishes a Love Counseling Center. But years later the mother of the og 2 ML asks her to find a bride for him. But the man changed and became a hunk.

The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion

Complete | Milcha,Golae | 2000 released

My rating: 9,5/10 This is a must-read that draws u in and won't let u go until the end. Apart from an amazing romance it's also a fantasy whodunit which gets more and more complicated. I love the strong FL and the sly and obsessive ML, their dynamic sometimes made me laugh out loud. TRANSMIGRATION, MURDER After her death the FL possesses the body of the og FL's friend who gets murdered by her fiancee. To avoid that she uses her knowledge about him to make the og ML (duke) her temporary fiancee and help her escape. But there's still someone after her and her relationship with the ML doesn't stay platonic. SPOILER: The original owner of the FL's body used magic to take over the og FL's body and tries to kill her because one of them must die in order for the other one to live bc their bodies reject their souls. She uses the king's fiancee to help her but kills her when she tries to escape the scheme.

Revenge Wedding

Ongoing | Saryong | 2019 released

My rating: 8/10 I had to get into it. At first I didn't like the FL bc she's a sly and self-centred influencer BUT she has a reason for it and the story gets more interesting later when they search for the culprit. The ML is pretty cool and he's hot. I like how he handles her. HISTORICAL, SOCIAL MEDIA, MARRIAGE The daughter of the head of the magic tower (FL), the empire's most popular and most beautiful woman who's secretly a mage faints and wakes up at her wedding with the famous war hero (ML). They're send to an isolated island for their honeymoon and can't return. Who plotted this and what's their motive?

Suddenly Became a Princess One Day

Complete | Plutus,Spoon , 스푼 | 2018 released

My rating: 10/10 It's a masterpiece exploring the complicated relationship of a daughter and a father who lost his love when she died giving birth. It has its ups and downs and I came to love every single character. The romance is only secondary, it comes up at the end. REINCARNATION, FAMILY, MAGIC The FL is reborn as the princess of a novel. But when she realises that she will get killed by her own father the emperor, she tries to change her fate. Due to her different behaviour she gets close to him. Can she touch his frozen heart and change her fate? SPOILERS: There isn't an endgame. I wanna know who marries the princess. But the side stories are missing. Anastasia: She's the princess and the FL. She's been reborn multiple times before crossing over to a different world and remembering her past life through a book. She originally was supposed to die by her fathers hands because she caused for him to ferl pain and is the one his love died for. She's intelligent and has a big heart. I absolutely adore her. She also possess great magic power. Claude: He's the emperor. He ascended the throne by killing his older brother who murdered his mother. He possess great magic power. He lost his love (a dancer) when she gave birth to their daughter. They knew it would happen but she chose to do it anyways. Afterwards he lost it and killed multiple people before killing his own emotions with black magic and abandoning the princess. When he meets her again she slowly destroys the walls around his heart and makes him feel again. After he then meets his wife's soul while being unconscious and talking to her one last time he somehow finds peace. He comes to adore his daughter and becomes quite overprotective. He's an interesting character with an unique backstory. Lucas: He's one of the two MLs and a magican who's lived for a long time. He meets the princess when she's still a child and becomes her playmate disguising himself as a child. He's rude and honest and her most important helper during her hard times. He's a mix of tsundere and yandere (he actually thought about burning the whole empire down if he lost her). That makes him interesting. Ijekiel: He's the other ML and the og ML of the novel. He's the dukes son and first meets the FL when Lucas teleports her to the duke's mansion and she falls from the sky into his arms. He's quite well behaved but actually has a teasing side. He later shows his bravery when fighting against the previous emperor. Jennette: She's the og FL and the princess's cousin. She was born using black magic and raised in secret. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father (the previous emperor) was considered dead. So the duke took her in. Originally she was supposed to gain Claude's favour because she had a caliming aura relieving his pain. But her father actually made it so that her presence slowly killed him. She's a kind character who wants to be friends with the princess and searches for her family. I'm glad she could live with her father in the end. Anastasius: He's the previous emperor who got "killed" by Claude. He had a rough childhood due to his mother pressuring him to ascend the throne and his lack of magic power. He was envious of his little brother and got possessed by the spirit of an emperor from the past. Since then he's been the villain so to say. But when Claude pointed his sword at him he actually wanted to die. The spirit just wouldn't let him. He himself is cold and has this "bad boy vibe". He develops a soft spot for his daughter. They find happiness in the end when they leave the capital and move to a harbour city. The emperor from the past: He's remembered as the greatest emperor of the empire but actually didn't possess a lot of magic power. When his father tried to convince Claude to make him his student Claude refused leading to the prince becoming obsessed with him and using black magic. His soul lives on and possess people who feel envious. He's killed in the end.
