my beloveds

i stumbled upon this after watching the drama, so i didn’t really have high hopes for it because, come on, the drama was already a 10/10. i never expected to get this hooked and left wanting more.

i just love how it captures the innocence of teenage love, the joy of first love, and that whimsical feeling of being in high school. i loved it just as much as i loved the drama.

and as a #yeonsufellfirst truther, made me love this manhwa more. because I KNEW IT.

i barely remember the actual plot of this because i finished this in 2022, but i remember how much this one opened my eyes to this whole genre. it was one of the pioneers of the whole “reincarnated into a novel and trying to escape your doomed fate” trope for me, and it set the bar pretty high.

i may not remember all the details anymore, but i definitely remember this being one of the manhwas that made me fall into this genre in the first place.

i finished this in 2023, and this one awakened more of the daddy issues lying beneath my body.

i actually fucking hate Claude tbh. that man is horrible and no amount of character development will change that. he is a good partner and not a good father. his evilness gets cancelled thanks to Athanasia tho. athy my cute babyyyy

2023 me would never have imagined seeing this on streaming platforms. im genuinely so proud of how far this manhwa has gotten.

i barely remember the actual plot of this one, but i remember clutching my pearls the whole time, just hoping somehow eris would get the happy ending she deserved. and GOD, I hated the people who tormented her.

i also loved how many strong female characters there were in this. the fact the eris genuinely tried so hard to fight the plot and kept failing is just so scary to me. imagine trying so hard to change your fate and the world just keep forcing that fate back to you.

i genuinely thought this was finished. like i have a very clear memory of reading a chapter where both perez and tia got crowned and it said “the end” at the end huhu.

i remember loving this one so much though. the whole “going back in time and fixing everything” trope just hits different when you actually get to watch the fl become the person she was always meant to be. firentia is THAT girl. atp, im just going to gaslight myself that i finished this.

i honestly can’t remember much about the actual plot of this one but i sure as hell remember lloyd’s dumb looking ass.

i genuinely loved the humor and how unserious it is. lloyd’s facial expressions alone deserve their own fucking award.

i may not remember everything that happened, but i remember having a good time reading this and that’s actually enough for me.

after reading so many revenge-driven stories, this one was honestly such a refreshing read. i didn’t expect to love it as much as i did, but i genuinely loved graciela and keith’s dynamic so bad.

there’s just something about watching two people slowly find comfort and trust in each other without everything revolving around revenge and getting back at everyone who wronged them. their relationship was just so good to me.

this is honestly so underrated.

genuinely loved her boss energy. like yes diva, order that prince around.

i love how crazy everyone is here, especially her sister. that whole family is fucking insane and i was living for it. and their children??? adorable as hell.

i love this trilogy so much and i love how different yet similar they are to each other. out of the three, estio is definitely my favorite.

i especially loved the open ending. open endings are genuinely hard to pull off, so kudos to the artist and author for this gem. definitely one of those stories i’m glad i got to read.

it’s one of those stories that makes you want to believe in love a little more. there’s so much warmth in it, and even with all the other themes, it never loses that sense of hope. i finished this with the biggest smile and a ridiculously full heart.

definitely one of those stories i wish i could read for the first time again.
