D.Y.I's manga / #hot male lead(21)

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.

It was a cute manga, ngl, I want someone like the possessive ml for myself

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.

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)

THAT WAS ADORABLE BOYFRIEND OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TOOOOOO *drumroll please* THE ML!!!!! (I could not remember their names, something like Kuzinaki???) It was so fluffy and warm and oh my god, dream romance, so adorable Made me smile so much, even the antagonists weren't exactly bad, the stalker surprised me, I didn't expect something so heavy to be portrayed so innocently, it was crime after crime LMAO I expected the blond haired girl and the gray haired boy to end up together somehow, I thought she liked him, guess not?? Maybe they will have their own story?! That's just wishful thinking on my part lol It took me very little time to finish this, it was so genuinely pure, I wish people pure as that really existed.... Maybe they do... Please find me.... It made me squeal, giggle and kick my feet in the air, need I say more? And the kicker? No speech whatsoever. No word was needed to portray how beautiful love truly is, so it was really poetic in a sense~ Imagine how they must have felt when their relationship was exposed on TV tho, damn, talk about pressure, it's cute tho

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

It was alright, I honestly didn't really expect the ending, at least back then when I first read it. Now, I am trust issues personified so I would have figured it out.

This was such an amazing modern day romance manhwa.... I loved it. I finished it in less than 24 hours, and my God (literally), was it beautiful. I don't even know how to describe the feeling of comfort I received when I first started it. Hanna is an ordinary person who doesn't have any desires, whatsoever. At least, that's what we're made to believe at first, later we get to know it's not like she doesn't have desires, she just didn't have any attachments in the human world. Would anyone think of her if she suddenly disappears, will they cry and tell her not to go, these kinds of thoughts plagued her mind 24/7. She was lonely but never really realised it before meeting her devil, Soha. Devil #4, the one and only love contract devil. Their relationship starts off rocky, just like any other honestly. I frankly expected them to have been connected in their previous lives, it just made sense. Which made me think, who EXACTLY was her companionship with? Supposedly Joon, the blonde haired hunk, but was it really? My theory is that Soha and Hanna couldn't be together in their previous lives (tho honestly it was her previous life and his last time as an angel, before being sent to hell for breaking the rules and therefore made a devil), so just like the rule goes, their love prevails in their next life. So even though the same situation happened with Joon and Hanna, the past life thing, I think that because of Hanna's tremendous efforts and her sacrifice at the end, God decided to grant them their love, not without a cost, of course. The price for their love was limited time. Hannah has always been human and Soha is one now and he falls and doesn't wake up from a deep slumber until 10 years pass in the human world. Hanna has aged, she is about 36-37 now and Soha is younger than her, about 20 something. After 10 long years, they're finally together and start settling for their finally happily ever after. They sign a marriage certificate and slowly start forgetting of the demon realm with everything finally being over and dealt with. Of course, it's not by their own choice And wishes, if it had been for Hanna, she would not have wanted to forget Mika, her guardian angel, who had helped her every step of the way. But it wasn't up to anyone except for God, apparently. Mika and Jihoon (Devil #313) start a café together, called Angel Café and serve angel and devil drinks, quite cute and ironic. Peace (Yu Rim) and Sejoon Lee finally have their happy ending, with Sejoon reborn as a human in the human world and peace obviously staying a fallen angel, literally. Sejoon regains his memories and goes to find Peace, they also get married. Joon is also finally able to let go of the memories from his past life and his attachment to Hanna, because Hanna does not return his feelings, ever. He throws the old photos away and is able to live for himself, probably gonna start dating as well. God has no human form anymore, for his body was killed by Mika (quite ironic), who is not an angel anymore, just has the appearance of one (still a major win imo). I felt really sad when Soha and Hanna started losing their old memories, getting new ones, where nothing out of the ordinary happens but for them to continue living on normally, they had to forget it all and replace it with some normal human couple stuff. Soha worked for a company and with documents, Hanna never signed a contract with the devil and there is no such thing as devils and angels. Soha did not live for thousands of year under the name of #4 and Hanna didn't die and ressurect, I guess...... Though Peace and Sejoon do have all memories back, as do Mika and Jihoon, so I guess I'm not too mad. Also, the devil system changed because of Dami, the assistant of #2, and now assistants can make contracts and get an education. The angels have more diversity and no longer have to have no emotions and instead can have likes and dislikes set in stone, as well as experience feelings and have personalities. Daniel, the guardian angel of Sejoon's mother, who has pink hair and baby pink eyes, looks after Sejoon and his mom. At first he didn't like Peace, then came to know that Sejoon was destined to be with Peace, which was a message directly from God after his birth in the human world. I guess he wished them a happy life this time, even after everything that had happened. Who knows, maybe he felt bad, he has emotions too after all, at least in his human body, which actually no longer exists, so I don't know. There were a lot of other minor characters and events, also many more things to say, after all the manhwa is 120 chapters but overall, I loved it. A good experience worth the slow burn in the end. A REALLY slow burn. I'm usually not a fan of those but I suppose it was worth it this once.
