Saesang Bring It On! Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2008 released

Hwang Mi-ri has a gift for dragging out a mediocre story for volumes without you feeling bored at all. The whole time, no matter how ridiculous the story got (how unfortunate can one girl be?) I just wanted to know what would happen next. By time I realized it, I'd already read 15 volumes lol. It's how she got me with hot blooded woman. I'm addicted

He's Dedicated To Roses

Complete | Hwang Mi Ri | 2007 released

This was pretty good- though I'm a sucker for female leads who can fight! But it didn't get dragged on as much as some of her other works so I was pretty satisfied. A nice wrap up, though I do wish we could've gotten a bit more of a happy end after all the trouble they went through. After both of them give up their families and he almost dies he asks her to date him? At least say lovers or ask for an engagement or something?! Good story otherwise

Idol Shopping

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2008 released

Once again, I'm all about HMR's works that involve a female lead who can actually fight. And I also happen to like gender bender type mangas so this one was pretty much up my alley. Not to mention, it was done pretty well so I have no complaints

Love Sos Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2005 released

Yay for revenge!!!! Really, that was the only thing I enjoyed about this manhwa (and of course, the MC's personality). The romance aspect with the four princes and/or the history of each of them with the girl with swimming eyes really didn't matter to me at all. So of the 10 volumes of this manhwa, only 3-4 actually interested me, but oh how interesting they were!' Side note: I really hate the summaries HMR gives sometimes *read second one for example* It just sounds like absolute gibberish and, half the time, doesn't give you any idea what the story is about.

Hot Blooded Woman

Complete | Hwang | 2000 released

Yay female leads who can fight! This was my first ever HMR manhwa aka the rabbit hole to Wonderland. I'm still trying to find my way out lol. But it's good! I preferred the first 12/13 volumes to the second half of the story, but the entire series was fairly interesting. A few of HMR's bad habits do pop up in this story, though, probably due to the length of the series: repetitive scenes with only small differences in between them, trying and failing to be overly philosophical and just sounding confused/high (which was only an issue in the very end), and, of course, her inability to vary the appearances of her characters (2 possible faces, 4 possible hairstyles, 3 possible hair colors = 24 possible distinguishable characters, any more and you can't tell them apart). All in all, it was a really good series and I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Legend of Nereid

Complete | Hwang | 2003 released

Started strong but the end was bland. There wasn't much resolution for any of the characters; it seemed like they all just kept up with or abandoned their poisonous relationships while still pining away for someone else. Not to mention, the plot had quite a few areas that felt like complete rip-offs of Anatolia Story, but not done near as well, which was a bit of an annoyance. But it wasn't a complete waste of time, I'd just recommend stopping at volume 6.

Princess Finds

Complete | han yu-rang | 2008 released

Hmm...can't remember why I like this one in particular so much but I did. It's got all the mix-ins for an HMR/HYR sundae but this one really kept my interest for a long time. Go figure

Matsuri Special

Ongoing | kamio youko | 2007 released

I just love when the guy who's been nice from the beginning wins over the guy who only acts nice after he likes her. For that, 4 stars! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

Tokyo Crazy Paradise

Complete | Nakamura Yoshiki | 1996 released

Absolutely fan-fucking-tastic! This manga makes me break down in tears whenever I read it! How can this manage to make a work so heartwearming, pulse-racing, gut wrenching, and side splitting all at once?! She's the worst- clearly trying to kill us with her talent! >.
