D.Y.I's manga / #Full Color(13)

What the actual fuck was this.

It was good, though not perfect. The story line definitely had some plot holes to it, but nevertheless, it was enjoyable, to say the least. I spent the past 5 hours reading it and I don't regret it. The story, towards the end, was for some reason very rushed. And by rushed I mean that it would have time skips and jumps in the story in the same chapter. And it happened many, many times. And the timeskips would be quite a few. It could be that the creator wanted to leave everything else for the audience to imagine for themselves. But even so, some holes were pretty big and that's why I gave it 4/5 stars. The logic of the characters was also pretty odd, but oh well, it's a manhwa. Beautiful art, hot character design, not very detailed when it comes to anyone else's personality except for the male and female lead tho. Everyone else sort of disappeared towards the end as well. Again, could be that the author wanted us to imagine the rest on our own, but still...

I absolutely LOVED it. I ate that shit up, literally read all 90 chapter in a single day, in the span of a couple of hours, it is 12.20 am rn, so I am quite tired, but nonetheless VERY satisfied with how this whole story played out. I reached the end of the season 2, so technically, it feels kind of complete, however there are still a lot of things we need some explanation on. Like why the sultan was suddenly introduced in the last panels of the last chapter Also, I cannot wait for this whole story to be finished. I presume there to be 1 more season before it's completed, as the story itself progresses really swiftly most of the time (which is another thing I absolutely favor, like, if you're not gonna make me spend my time reading more than 100 chapters just to see the ml and fl kiss for the first time whilst nothing else is going on around them, like, no other relevant story lines, then I'm satisfied) The art style visibly changed throughout but that's something I genuinely love looking at and observing when reading a long series - the way the artist's style changes or develops as the story continues. And the changed made to the characters were really beautifully done at that too, so I definitely cannot be mad about it. The art is seriously breath-taking and I love the details everywhere at any given time. The intriguing side characters make it really enjoyable too, as their own little stories and personalities shine through. Also, the dowager empress can go fuck herself and die in a ditch. I. Hate. Her. And Ella, oh my gawd, I despise them. I hope Caron (the ML's brother and second son, aka the second in the like of succession to the throne, but thankfully doesn't want it) gets his happy ending and frees himself from the she tyrant that calls herself his mother. I can definitely see a story of the commoner girl and Caron, for sure. I really hope new chapters come out soon and the season wraps up the story nicely, so far, NOTHING has been left out and I really admire the creators for putting in so much effort into completing a story so thoroughly, as well as making it very fun and easy to read. Please, chapters, come out soon!

This story warmed my heart and honestly makes me want to bawl my eyes out. It is incredible, I loved every single bit of it - from the progressing breath-taking art style to the astonishingly amusing twists and turns in the story. It developed so well, the characters all had such development as well, the fl, Kijin, finally freed herself and reached happiness, she is now married to the person she loves most in the world and the same goes for the ml, Kanghyun. I loved every single stepping stone in their relationship, the fact that he fell first and seemingly harder with how affectionate he always is. She always kept him on his toes tho lol, he wasn't even sure until the very end whether she accepted his proposal or not. Their enemies to lovers story is amazing, especially since it developed relatively quickly. At first they hated each other but she obviously couldn't express it, for he is her boss and direct commander I guess, he, however, made his distaste very apparent. But he came to like her soon, as she is a pretty interesting person and he learned there is nothing to he suspicious of when it comes to her. It was seriously such a good read, I read it in one evening/night, it is now 2.20 am and I still haven't done my night routine, so you can imagine just how good the story is, for me to not put it down for hours on end and sacrifice my sleep, as I have to wake up at 9 am tomorrow.... Welp, it was definitely worth it, words can't even describe how many different emotions this whole story made me feel, I can't possibly summarize it in a single review as well. You just need the actual story to understand how good it is, that's how well everything, including character development and plot twists, is portrayed - you just can't do it justice if whoever is curious about it doesn't read it themselves. I would gladly come back to read it again some time later, when I have forgotten most of it. It was seriously a breath of fresh air - it had many of the things I like in a good story, like manipulation, heart break, possessive nature of mls, corruption, drama, romance, comedy. Perfect balance between all of them. The author somehow managed to pull at all my heart strings at once, even when the story itself wasn't the clearest to me at the beginning because of the different details I couldn't grasp at the moment. It all became clear towards the middle/end tho. I loved it. Simply loved it. The ending was also superb, I love how emotionally attached the ml is, the fl too, even if she doesn't show it. He became so obsessed, it makes sense why I found this story in a reader's list with possessive and obsessive mls. He was everything I am searching for in a man, honestly, Kijin should leave some for us.... It was not a mistake and I do not regret staying up way too late in order to read this. Peace out, I need to do my routine now, future me, if you're reading this for some reason, come back and enjoy it once more. It's worth it.

I still haven't given the original story a review, even though I read it years ago. And started it way more times than just once. It was so good but I'm gonna focus on this little CIT special. So. It was adorable, it made me go through the happy memories of reading the original all over again. I had major second lead syndrome, because of the drama but in the manhwa I couldn't say I hated Jung like I did in the drama. In fact, I liked him a lot in the manhwa, he was quite the dreamy sociopath. But seeing Inho being able to move on and lead a happy life as well.. It warmed my heart and calmed my soul, honestly, after experiencing the MAJOR 2nd lead syndrome back in 2018, when I first watched the drama. I still haven't forgotten it, probably never will. I was about to start re-reading the original CIT manhwa, for, like, the 999th time but I saw this special below and JUST HAD TO. It is adorable and has actually come out around the time I read the original, so that's cute. I need to go and give it a review but I may re-read it first, we will see. It's kind of.... a long read... Because I'm the type of person to spend at least 10 mins on one chapter, soaking in all the different details, expressions and gestures, as well as all the words they say in every single panel, so it may take even more than 20 mins sometimes, that's why it is a really long process for me... And yet, after finishing it, I re-read more than 100 chapters and stopped, so I may re-read the whole thing this time and give it my raw and.... Fresh opinion. The fact that I remember all of the major characters' names, it's kinda funny. Literally every major character is ingrained into my memory, that's how much of a core memory this manhwa was for me. Since I have read way too many mangas, manhwas and manhuas to count, it's just bizarre to remember the names. BTW, I would have also been really happy to see Bora and Eun Taek get married T_T But I'm happy at least Inho's relationship with his sister seems to have slightly improved as well.... I think, judging based on the one panel we got with him in it. I loved this and the originial too, they bring back only good memories and just make me feel like I'm back in the day, when it was kind of, just a bit simpler.

This manhwa made me feel all sorts of feelings. I smile, I laughed, I cried, I was even a bit scared at some points, because of how unpredictable some situations were... But overall, I absolutely loved this story, it was warm and absolutely delightful, light and just... Pleasant to read, I didn't want to put it down, because of how captivating it was :") It made me feel hopeful, that someday, I would find the right person for myself and that he would be able to love me through our hardships together, not fighting alone. I jumped in excitement at some points, then my heart plummeted to my stomach at chapter 39... I felt betrayed, but it seems that I wasn't... Lim Segye was just another victim to a misunderstanding, that actually deserves love and acceptance. These two characters were portrayed so well, it made me feel like I was reading about actual people. I wouldn't question it if someone told me that they were written by two separate people that actually went through these struggles, that's how realistic it was. The whole romance was realistic and for that, it was fresh and something extraordinary. I loved it. I really did... I am left, feeling content, happy and my heart just a tad bit heavy that it ended. If that doesn't tell you how good of a story it was, then I don't know what could.

It was amazing... I read it in 3 days, I started late at night and finished it in the afternoon. It was worth it to binge read this, I absolutely loved it.... I am honestly left speechless, I can't even talk about it right now, because of the complicated emotions it's made me feel. It made me happy, sad, anxious, depressed, delighted, light-hearted and so much more. It kind of lessened the feeling of existential dread I have had the past few weeks. You know, like you don't know what you're doing with your life, even though you're obviously over-thinking it. I just thoroughly enjoyed it, it was so funny and witty, it made me long for a special connection with that one soulmate we have all been waiting for. Naturally, soul mates don't have to be romantic, I think I may have met them in the forms of my best friends, but anyway, I still long for this connection they have. I believe I will find it one day, someone who embodies all the characteristics I adore. I honestly started reading this just because I had seen it a couple of times before and decided to finally give it a try, I also really wanted to finish something long and expand my knowledge of good reads lol I thought I would feel really empty, just like how I feel most of the time after reading something nice and finishing it. But surprisingly, it left me content, although also a bit sad it's over now. I watched their relationship grow and looked over their character development, it felt like watching your kids grow up, I feel satisfied. The relationships between the four main characters was adorable, it really warmed my heart. I could go on a two hour rant about how cute Doyoon Ha and Chowon Yun's relationship is, but I digress (I still don't know if I'm using this term correctly, anyways, I may check later, if I don't forget) I don't really know why I'm writing all these reviews when I never actually post them and just keep them for myself, but it kind of feels nice, it gives me a sense of completion after reading something, as I have a way to get all of my complicated emotions out. I can also look back and remind myself how much a simple read made me feel and go through. So that's nice, it's a diary. God, I hope they don't close this site down, cuz then I'm screwed, my reviews would go to waste :") Happy thoughts, happy thoughts But yeah, overall, a very good read, I enjoyed it, can't wait to start something else and continue on my project of getting educated on stories~ (it really develops my psyche, honestly)

This was actually a very refreshing read, I enjoyed. I must say, at times it was a bit.... absurd.... with how she was literally scared of the guy for no strong reason, like, yeah, he may have been a cold person back in school and he told you off twice, because he couldn't really bring himself to express his feelings, so I get being pissed off by the attitude or not liking his guts, or just being uncomfortable around him. But scared??? And that didn't exactly stop until a later part of the story, even though he had already confessed and done great things for her, she was still a bit afraid of him? It felt really rushed, I guess that's what happens when you can't an eternity for a project, but yeah. Otherwise, it was pretty cute, fluffy, very warm and just easy to get through, there were literally no heavy themes, or at least they weren't really delved into, I guess. Also, get you a man like Gunho, the ML, because damnnn is he whipped WHOO He would turn the world over for her, honestly. I really loved the romance in this manhwa, it was just adorable and couple goals, amiright It made me want a Gunho for myself AAAAHHHH He was gentle, loving, caring, overprotective, thoughtful, handsome, successful, proud of her and their relationship, showed her off at every opportunity, went a bit too fast at times, but I guess she was okay with it at some point (I wouldn't but oh, well, not my relationship to worry about) It was a bit weird to me how their kids were literally their little versions... Um... How in the hell did the genes end up like that, I don't know, what are the odds???? THEY WERE IDENTICAL TO THE PARENTS AND WERE THE SAME GENDERS AS THE PARENT THEY TOOK OVER But anyways. Yeah, I wouldn't reread it really, because it wasn't a unique story per say, but it was fun for a quick read and something to warm your heart.

Okay, listen. I have read this SO many times, mostly just starting it and dropping it for the nth time but I did complete it wholy twice and lord... It was during my "don't write a review, just give it a rating" phase and yeah, I came back just to write a review. So. A question I had every single time I read this before finally ingraining it into my memory, was did Jungwoo or whatever his name was actually rape Chonwoo (I think that was his name). And yes... Yes, he did... So it was pretty understandable how they couldn't ever go back to the way they were, like, Jungwoo, are you stupid??? I couldn't believe his nerve, honestly. The ending made me feel both sad and content, it was a very nice ending, the nicest it could have been, actually, without dropping the realistic aspect. But boy, did I take a trip down guilt lane after seeing Jungwoo's grievous expression... At least he finally got the memo and left our poor boy alone... Honestly, I don't know how he is such a magnet for giant buff strong and possessive handsome men, but yeah, it seems to be working. I swear, so many of the characters in here are gay, like, damn. I am glad most people got a happy ending tho, our boy even got engaged!!! I'm glad he overcame his trauma and suffering, the mother understood in the end too and even begged Jungwoo to just leave and never come back again (ouch) I don't know what else to really say, it's surprising how much I remember but yeah, I can pretty much tell most of the story off the top of my head, it left a huge impact on me as a person and it was a very nice read. It kept me entertained and really just made me want to punch some specific characters and comfort others. Take a guess who I'm talking about, as if it isn't obvious. Something my BFF pointed out was how the necks and bodies were just so incredibly huge and thick, which, yeah, that was a bit weird. Their phisique was so unique, honestly, I didn't mind it until she pointed it out. I still liked it, it's just that I paid attention to that detail from them on. But I really like the art nonetheless. Overall, it's actually become a core memory of mine, I won't forget it very easily, which means a lot. Why a core memory? I just remember reading it during my happiest, most carefree days. Just like midnight poppyland, yes, I still remember the title but I never finished it. I think about it from time to time, it's been more than 2 years... Anyways, that was it, I'm glad I finally gave my opinion about this manhwa

I decided to give this a review finally right after writing the review of the original manhwa. It's definitely been a long time since I read it, but I remember it quite vividly. And I must say, I thought I would feel weird seeing Jungwoo's side story in a parallel universe, where it was all just a horrible nightmare he was having and he never hurt Chonwoo, he never raped him and instead they have been in a healthy sexual and romantic relationship for a long time. It made me feel a bit sad, I wanted everyone to be happy in the end, especially since he finally changed for the better... However, I'm well aware that still wouldn't possibly excuse or justify his past behavior, I just wished he would find his own happiness tho.. Spending years obsessing over a single person and then having to accept you would never be able to turn back time and have the relationship with them you once did, back in the day, because you, yourself, ruined it. Quite heart-breaking. But oh well, actions have consequences, I can't be too soft on him after all the shenanigans. I'm sure he will someday heal and find someone else. Until then at least the Jungwoo in the parallel universe is happy and healthy. Kyujin was the name of the other male lead, right? I think so, I just remembered it, I had completely forgotten it until writing this review. Their story was actually quite adorable, I'm glad Chonwoo found the right person for himself (and it was some damn luck, if Kyujin himself hadn't made some effort to get to now Chonwoo, Chonwoo would have been left lonely and hurt all this time. Their relationship is adorable, I have always liked it. I don't remember much except for how horny everyone is in this specific extra. It's NOT how it was in the original LMAO
