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.

Started off kind of promising, with the heroine wanting to get revenge for her past, though she was an absolute idiot in the way she went about it (popular boyfriend + zero guy experience = obviously falling in love). But then the story quickly deteriorated into a sloppy, jumbled mess. The worst part is, the author goaded me into anticipating a potential hookup with the professor (I'm such a sucker for mature, intelligent guys!) only to drop that plot point as soon as I got excited. Boo! And don't even get me started on the stalker girl and her creepy sis-con brother with undue resentment towards Takaya. Ugh and that cheesy line about not turning them in because they also wanted to "protect their loved ones" was ridiculous. Not only did the girl literally say she wanted to see Takaya hurt, the guy who actually hit Yurina over the head was some random dude! Who the hell was he protecting?!! All in all, an average read but with enough wasted potential to disappoint me.

What! Never marked this as read?!!! I read this twice already, will probably read it again at some point, and I just loved it! Even though I just love stories that involve long revenge plots, this really set itself apart due to the characters' depth. I even found myself feeling sorry for Charles at the end, despite hating his guts for nearly the entire manga!
