Description
From CPM:
The Devil's Castle was a dark and somber place, until the good-hearted apprentice ASARELLA stumbled on it in a goodwill mission, against her master's wishes--the archmage ELIWHO. Things sour quickly, as Asarella was bound with a blood pact to the Devil, KAINEN. Little did she know, the mage harbors a secret love for her that will only complicate her training for the upcoming apocalyptic battle.
This sets up the most unusual love triangle of all space and time.

Sometimes when an author tries to make her work "different" most of the time the story goes downhill from there.
She explained it too well who's the main male lead and who's the third party but the outcome was the total opposite of what she intended and so I could say the romance plot was a failure.

I really have nothing more to say because much of the stuff I wanted to put down in my comment was already said by other members and readers like the confusion about many things being unanswered in the end, but hopefully I'll find the answers in the sequel which I intend to read next, and perhaps in the prequel which is also worth reading as an intro to the whole story. I hope the story will come to its real culmination eventually and that the resolution of the story will be satisfactory. I won't even try with listing all the adjetives, atributes and epithets that I was able to acquire towards the art, the plot and especilly the characters and the setting, while reading the story. The list will be longer than a Chinese wall and anyway, I can't really describe it with words, to be honest. Maybe Im under the impression right now, but still, story is just too epically utopian, magical, full of fantasy and visions of Neverland...It allowed me, or better, it made me keep dreaming again, it made me feel like an imagination can go real, even in the boundaries of someone's head. It's powerful, just like that : ) Highly-recommended!

i'm not gonna go into a rant of why rell is boring. i really hate heroines like her but like what i said the story makes up for her. the flow of the story keeps you looking forward for the next chapter and the it doesn't drag. i hate it when authors do that, they spend freaking 5-10 chapters on just one issue in the story.
Interesting yesh yesh~

The art at times reminded me of Saki Hiwatari, mangaka of Please Save My Earth, and the clothes of Kaori Yuki, author of Angel Sanctuary etc.
The story looks pretty interesting, and I would love updates, but the second volume did nothing for me (last chapter excluded), since the romantic tension was missing ;d

I really had high hopes for this. I wanted to like it so much but even rereading it again I can't give it more than a 5 star rating. There were so many things that didn't add up about the heroine, certain circumstances and some mysterious past (I'm not going to spoil it here since I don't know how to explain things without blurting everything out). But that'snot even the main issue I had with this manhwa. It felt so forced sometimes. Like there were choices she or he or even the other side (barely noticeable characters that just wants to make things more complicated) they could have made but of course...we must have plot! Which would have been okay if it wasn't so...clumsily executed.
Then again, recently I've found myself asking more from the manga/manhwa genre. And I've been rereading and (sometimes) reconsidering the scores I've given in the past.
There's a sequel, I hear, and maybe that will explain this one. The art is gorgeous. I still enjoyed it a bit amidst the hairpulling and the headscratching...oh, and sometimes the facepalming. But I'll give this a 5 for now. (Plus sometimes I had to push myself to finish...when that happens. Shit's happening that's just not alright)

I completed the whole series within 2 days.. which is pretty crazy. But even until the end, there were tons of unanswered questions! I was reading continuously trying to get more answers >_<
But most of them wasn't answered till the end..
Really hoped the sequel will be able to answer all these questions.. T_T
But most of them wasn't answered till the end..
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
- Who are her parents? How did she have the ability of the black magician to read mind? Why is her pure magic so strong that she is able to escape from the netherlands? Is there no continuous stories with regards to her magic?
- Who is that masked man?
- Who is Gatmiel? Why is he a half blood? And why is he related to the masked man?

Well, I'm a sucker for beautifully drawn manhwa =3 I just love the style of flowing hair. I don't quite understand why the manhwa ga decided to fluctuate the fashion into, half sahara desert, and then half modern times. The demon lord, king whatever, is really hot, and so are all the other main male characters >.<. I agree that the plot twists and wriggles around here and there, but still, it is still an interesting story, and the touch of humor completes it. I hope that KM can finish this series...I've sort of gotten sick of traditional shoujo manga, so, hopefully this will satisfy my appetite. xD

This was by far one of the most unique series I've read so far... Every aspect of this manhwa (from the storyline, setting, relationships to character design) were very creative and well thought out. This series is definitely worth checking out...but this one kind of isn't for those who go for the nice and happy happy happy story lol
Korean-Manhwa are doing a decent job with the translations and all but omg cpm.... =.=;;

I can't believe there are so few people liking it.
One has to admit: This manhwa is kind of odd in a sense, but unique seen in another point of view.
A mix of fantasy, humour, romance, magic and adventure makes it a certain entertainment. The only thing that bothers me are the time lapses which occur nearly every single chapter.
For example you should read the sixth chapter after the first one if you want to maintain the right timeline.
I can only say one thing: Read it!
