simsim's manga / #Modern(17)

️️️½ / ️️️️️ Fake marriage to inherit the business + CEO x Secretary + seemingly unrequited crush (fl --> ml) + rich man x poor girl + stoic/mean ml x kind/respectful fl + misunderstandings galore + childhood friend 2nd ml This was cute but I hated how terribly mean he was to her when he was convinced she didn't like him. She seemed so freaking sad for that whole arc and she was resigned to her sadness which was kind of heartbreaking. It felt really unfair tbh and I felt so bad for her... and then she just forgave him SOO easily omg after that I really couldn't get into it anymore out bc I felt unfulfilled. Why make her cry all the time with no real payoff? Imo there were many unnecessary tropes throughout the story (i.e., 2nd ml who's loved her since childhood but resolved all his drama in 2 seconds???, the extra misunderstandings/cheating arc at the end, grandpa making her sign that contract, grandpa finding out they were a fake couple and trying to break them up at the end lollll...). Overall, enjoyable, but drags on in the last half (for me). Ml is terrible in the beginning but dotes on her when they become a real couple. She shows clear character growth and some level of mental fortitude, especially in the last arc.

FL is reborn after being switched at birth + living her life and being abused by her adopted family and by her bio family. 2nd life decides to kick everyone's ass as revenge. Plot armor is CRAZY she's made billions of dollars + is the best hacker in the world + won the first national math competition and broke records mind you she's only 17

loses 1 star for boobs so big I couldn't even suspend my disbelief & loses another star for that bullshit final arc. Why did everyone in the MLs life traumatize him for no reason

serial stalker gets caught and is "punished"... ml made 1 too many comments about fl's assumed sexual history lol it was giving misogynist & the ending was rushed but I'm ngl fl was such a cutie. I literally felt bad for her bc ml seemed like he didn't gaf about whether she was enjoying it or not. if she didn't match his freak then the tone of this would be verrrrryyy different

TW // dub con / SA Separated twins (one becomes poor & one rich) / [poor twin] FL takes the place of her twin who ran away & arrange-marries CEO ML. Too much drama happens to recap tbh but it's very addictive and messy. ML is obsessed with her and bad at communicating. FL has a case of pointless self-sacrifice itis. SPOILER: for third act breakup & pregnancy troupes tho.
