First half was great but wow it went downhill so quickly

This manhwa started out great. The comedy was on-spot, and I liked how the characters’ actions were so unpredictable at times. Characters who I thought were gonna be one-dimensional mobs actually got great development. Lots of meta comedy and references to various eastern and western pop culture (for real, I did not expect a Liam Nelson Taken line to pop up lol). To top it off, the baby was super cute!
But boy did the story deteriorate in the second half. The story switched genres and lacked good focus. I mean I think everyone started out expecting this to be a love comedy but no, the ML and FL had pretty much no chemistry and in the 2nd half just completely faded into the backdrop. They were unnecessary for the plot and hence the spotlight went to the devils instead, and the ending was so rushed it’s like 10 chapters of content were forced into 1 and the story was axed. Now onto the characters themselves and the love triangles…argh there’re so many things wrong with this.
To start, there are two sets of love triangles here, one with three humans and one with three devils.
The human love triangle

just overall lacked chemistry and I could not understand how/why the ML and 2nd ML suddenly started liking the FL. I mean there was more chemistry between and ML and 2nd ML with the ML being so obsessed with the 2nd ML’s cooking and all. Overall this relationship was just…bland and did not feel romantic at all.

Now the devil love triangle was more intense and I actually got the angst…but that was also what made me really angry too!

the devil FL in this triangle - the queen had no initiative and resolve and basically went running to the devil ML (Azazel) every single freakin time she has a problem and needs help. She’s portrayed as being smarter and more loveable than the villainess devil Helena, but she just ends up relying on Azazel to solve all her problems, and even til the end I don’t ever see confirmation that she actually likes Azazel beyond just a friend. It felt all too much like she’s your typical innocent Shoujo FL whose problem basically all gets solved because a devoted ML likes her. I really really hate these types of FLs and hence, even though the queen is portrayed as a kind half-devil with great motherly love, I really could not bring myself to like her.
The devil ML Azazel, in hindsight, was almost an a**. He’s portrayed as someone hopelessly in love with the queen, who’d do and give everything for her happiness and a really tragic character. But then after he does all that and finally frees the queen and the baby from the king so that these two can happily live together, he felt that there was no place for him next to these two and then was unnecessarily just killed off at the very end…like wtf!!!!!
The villainess devil turned out to be the characters I was the most invested in for this entire work. I started out not liking her because yeah she was for sure evil like how devils are supposed to be, but one good thing about her was that she’s pretty straightforward in her objective, uses her head, took initiatives to achieve her goals, and didn’t try to rely on others like the queen always does. I also felt sorry for her that she actually liked the devil ML enough to bear his child for him but he basically slept with her to manipulate her into giving him her credentials, which he then used to help the queen’s baby. And her ending was really tough too, I mean yeah she became the new ruler of the devil world, but despite having been so obsessive over the devil ML before, she let him go to be with the ex-queen even though she already knew she was pregnant with his child and really wanted him to stay. (And of course the devil ML then sacrifices his life to protect the ex-queen and the villainess gives birth to their child with the dad already dead.) This ending made me so made wtf.

Too rushed (literally, I've read a lot with rush endings but this one tops it all) and the shifting of perspective is so confusing.
