At first I hated it. The dialogue/narration was super repetitive, everything either trudged along at a snail's pace or completely sped through/skipped over scenes, and the story was just boring. Most importantly, I hated everything about the MC, especially the way she adopted this holier than thou attitude and blamed everyone else for her decisions. I was glad to see her turnaround at the end, though; at the very least, I preferred her when she embraced her own shallowness and chose to live the way she wanted. Still can't say I liked her even at the end, though.
In all honesty, I quite liked Jo's character, maybe because I could understand her feelings/actions? She was neither a saint nor a villain; I can completely relate to her desire to on the one hand help someone who was just like a younger her and, on the other, hating the MC for thinking she could succeed where she(Jo) failed. And it's her character (and the MC's turnaround) that made me give this 3 stars instead of 1. But...I still can't claim to have enjoyed it, though it was a very new experience for me in the world of manga/manhwa reading.
What a fascinating insight into a housewife mind who descended into a path with no return! A Woman, who craved to be the perfect wife to her husband and the ideal housewife to her superficial society where money and greed run many organisations and can break solid foundations of others. The household of that educated wife who gave her mind, body and soul to a man fascinated by her looks and her model figures. She became nothing like the fearful woman, she used to be in her teens. It is a sad moment when a wife realises that her husband is not the man she assumed he was, but it is a worse feeling to know that you have changed! Your defence system will tell you that your thoughts are wrong and shameful. However, with time, your inner consciousness is no good and you start contemplating playing with fire.. Will she regret her actions?
I don't actually mind it too much as its a more psychological look at a bored and unsatisfied housewife finding her own sexual awakening (in pretty cheap ways pushed by her frenemy) while her ugly husband cheats on her. This in definitely not a romantic read and the dialogue and pace kinda sucks and goes nowhere, but if u skim through all that try-hard bullcrap, this story is tolerable smut at best. I'm also not a fan of watching ugly, old perverts do stuff to young women. The ending was pretty anticlimactic but the new/ second story seems intriguing. Maybe because the new cast is actually young and good looking. Update on 2nd story: much more intriguing than the first. Not romantic at all but much more sexier. Fingers crossed it stays good! Update 2nd story ch55: husband technically has wife molested/raped not violently, but unwillingly. Defo not a light read.
