I love it. It hits many right notes. Many! Of course, Junseo is trash; the trashiest trash to ever trash. But if that's all the story was about, it would be incredibly dull and one dimensional. The story has so much depth because it really touches so many key issues. It highlights the subtle and overt forms of sexism prevalent within families, workplaces and the society in general. It discusses a wide variety of situations that are based in misogyny, from stalkers, to sex offenders, to victim blaming, to succession rights, and even the not-like-other-girls syndrome and a whole lot more. It doesn't let off people like Sera's brother, or the actor in love with Nana, who were essentially nice guys, but did not seem to understand how disrespectful, diminishing and demeaning their actions could sometimes come across as. I love that Nana found her niche, that Sunyeong finally learned to strike the balance between being nice and having self-respect and that Sera made it to the top from her own efforts, just as she had always been primed to do. And I even love that none of them ended up with any of the potential love interests, at least, within the frame of this story. I wouldn't mind an epilogue with that, though. But I think all three women going on a trip to Cebu would be, hands-down, a much better epilogue. Ch 71

I. Well. It's just hard to read. It's not just simply discrimination. It's slavery and forced prostitution and being treated like literal animals. I'll still read it but it's damn hard. Ch 6

Not too bad, but it's hard to know where the plot is going, still. A lot of characters' motivations aren't clear, even though I've read 50+ chapters. Ch 52

I started it without realising there are only 2 chapters out T.T It's very interesting, so far. Very "The Vilainess Reverses The Hourglass" Edit: It's genuinely so good. Interesting and quite fast-paced, unlike most manhwa, but the execution is good. And satisfying too, I love that she has a good support system, this time around. From Helen (so happy she saved her), to her brother, to the prince. I also love that the mom is not evil. I would have hated it if she were. Fermina is truly terrifying, though. How is there so much hate inside her, she so young! I am genuinely terrified. Ch 12

Oh, it's quite interesting. I am anxious for their safety, though. Especially hers. Ch 52
