The Makeup Remover

Ongoing | lee yeon | 2000 released

It’s a pretty good manwha about a plain girl and this makeup artist doing a Cinderella competition. All of the character had depth in them and I really liked it. Even the side characters and minor ones had a chance to shine. I think many things like the chemistry between the characters and the way everything kept getting tense to the point where you start to care about the mjnor ones. They all have their faults and this competition showed what makeup and art can do. With all this said and done, I think the ending was probably the weakest point. Not that the ending was bad. It was just that we never got a resolve on the romance and the relationship between the 2 main characters. There were many hints and build ups about coming closer and their relationship, but in the end, it felt flat because it wasn’t resolved.
