my favorite manhwa of all time

by murderofher

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I have read thousands of manhwas, and this is my favorite one. I love how different it is, how consisstant the plot is and how it makes you feel so many emotions. this was such a good read. JUST A WARNING THO if u are looking for romance and purely romance, this might not be for you. I love slow burns and minimal romance so I love it but this has a kind of friends to enemies trope going on

The Story That Bloomed by Love

by Glaciz

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

WHAT CAN I SAY? WELL, I 100% AGREE WITH ZUREL! THIS STORY ALSO MAKES ME ANXIOUS, SO MUCH ANXIOUS, BUT ITS A GOOD KIND OF ANXIOUS.

Ok, Really, this is one of my all time fav story's. The characters? Realistic, beautiful and so complex. I love everyone, they aren't bad or good, they are gray, they have nuances and reasons, and you understand why they acted that way, or took the decisions they did. I also love how much one of the characters makes people so indecisive, some hate him, some love him and others, like me, do both.

Dowun is so complex and, I don't really know how to explain, but he makes me feel vulnerable? And for me he is the best thing in this story, his development, the way he thinks and acts, its so intelligent. His reasons are understandable, even the moral" bad" ones, and I just cant seem to view him as a villain neither an antagonist. He's manipulative and knows the game he's playing, but he also never really lied about his actions, he's just being a fucking good player. But of course, his methods and actions are not what FL really wanted, and we see her reflect on that, which makes everything so realistic and bittersweet.

FL is really a powerful female lead, she's so nuanced, and complex too, she's the embodiment of "be careful what you wish for" Or the writer advice "wants vs need." Her journey is truly beautiful

The artsyle and direction is also such a treat! CHEF K I S S I CAN'T SEE A FLAW. In the end This story's makes me feel so many things, truly, truly an anxious but beautiful, bittersweet read.

Great

This manhwa gives me anxiety. In a good way. I feel like something can go wrong to the characters I like, without any warning, at any moment. The FL is showing an incredible growth. At one side, she had become ruthless in order to reach to where she is. But on the other side, deep down inside she is not completely happy with what she has become. There is a good balance between kindness and pragmatism, because even when she has started to follow her heart, she knows not to be totally enveloped by emotion. She can use her brain to get what she wants and beats her adversaries at their own game.

Another good point is the two MLs. Each has his own good points that may make you root for one camp or another, yet as of now there is no telling who will win in the end. Or how this story will end, for that matter. There are also some other interesting side characters, such as Dowun's younger brother who has his own complicated motivation.

Love it & recommend it!!

Like others have said amazing art and characters. One thing I LOVE is the FL’s growth and realistic depiction. She struggles with what is right and wrong and she is not a Mary Sue who literally is selfless 100% of the time. It’s really interesting and I would love to read more.

Complex and realistic

First of all, gorgeous art. I don't know how the author could find time to colour this webtoon when it is published weekly, but no complaint of course.

The story is realistic with a complex cast. Like other reviewers said, you can't predict how this will end. There are two male leads, the "main" male is Dowun but at this point he is having equal chance of being either the deuteragonist or the antagonist. Personally I find him an interesting character, but downright abusive. Maybe 15 years ago I would have found that charming, but now, if she ends up falling for him that would be a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Great art direction

by Utsukushii Yume

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

I love the art direction in this manhwa. The artist has a good understanding of how to show and when to tell. The story isn't afraid of silence, and it is often used to fittingly set the mood.

I like Dowun, he is stoic, manipulative, controlling, insensitive and straight forward. But, he was upfront with his goals and never did he hide any of those traits from the FL, and I say this knowing exactly how dangerous it could get for the FL. A lot of times he says things the FL and the audience don't want to hear, but what he is saying is true. I can't really hate him for playing the political game the way he does because it makes sense.

I find the FL enjoyable too, I think I like her more because it has finally sunk in what price she had to pay, and just how high it was.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a historical setting where the cast are all playing within the confines of the political rules set upon them.

refreshing

I'm surprised nobody has made a review yet on this gem! There are some plus points which makes me give this 8/10;

characters : the main female lead isn't your ordinary overly intimidating character or a meek one who only knows to cry. her character grows a lot and she is really relatable. she understands fear, especially fear of abandonment and I greatly pity her for that. but then her character grows a lot. main character is someone cool headed and very practical. but not the common type where he crazily fall in love all of a sudden. he is committed to his mission. the other main male is just too pure you just can't hate him.
Plot : it is so realistic you vannot find any stereotypes here. no transmigrated soul nor characters who are bad and evil just because. their characters grow as the plot flows, some for the better, some for the worse, either for the main character or others
genre : i wouldn't call it romance. more like psychological drama politic
i recommend it to you if you enjoy historical or psychological drama but not overly dramatic.
