The author introduced wayyyy too many people at once in season 2, I have no idea who half of these people are. It's hella confusing. Does Min Joon have 2 cousins? One with a son and another one, and they're both gay with boyfriends? That's how I see it
I also got confused with all the other added character but the way I understood it is that Min Joon has 1 cousin, the guy who had the tarpaulin when he welcomed them at the airport. That cousin has a boyfriend who’s a doctor and that doctor has a Brother (with a son named Dong(Toma’s friend) and a partner).
I wish I could erase this from my mind.
It's been like 10 years and I still get angry every time I remember this exists. Nothing has elicited this much disgust from me as the first story of this manga.
I've read some messed up shit, but this doesn't acknowledge how massively messed up it is, and I think that's what bothers me about it.
It sucks that Akito is so obviously not a good guy. It's only gonna be "Kazu was right" with no reflection on Kazu's part. Yuki is just gonna fold like a piece of paper when Kazu inevitably saves him from whatever is going on with that shady guy. There could've been a proper groveling ML moment, but we're not gonna get it!
This is a lovely story! But the people at the auditions had a point. The ironic thing is that every live-action japanese stuff I've seen is very expressive and theatrical from my European perspective, so much so that I find it hard to get into, so it's funny that it's the thing he gets rejected for.
I get him being stressed and all, but he didn't have to be that cold and dismissive. It's not like he has to be super affectionate or have sex when he's tired, he just needed to not be so mean? Them making up was so unsatisfying to me, because they didn't really address some of his behaviour. Because not all of it can be explained by "I was busy".
Especially since he doesn't seem to be the tsundere archetype.
Also that bench scene made no sense in the new context the highschool days chapters provided. Feels like the mangaka changed her mind about who confessed first
The romance is so boring. Like, thr prince just decided he loved her when he was 5 and just never changed his mind. I'm supposed to find this 5 year olds "romantic" interest romantic and I hate it. I like that Rayan isn't the ml, I just really hate how the romance in this story was set up. If he's 100% full throttle from the beginning, there's no room for development, both of them slowly falling for each other...there's just no story here
And about childhood love, most reincarnation manhwas just can't seem to let go of that prodigy child phase. It's like the authors always have to show how insanely smart and different the kid is. And of course, it's pretty much guaranteed the ml will fall for mc. I get why it's annoying though but if the story starts from where the mc is a kid, I feel like it's inevitable
But is that their smart, or is it that they've come to a world that's not advanced as the old one and because they have their memories so they just seem smarter than most. Think about it, if your isekaied or reincarnated to an 18th century type world, you wouldn't make indoor plumbing, you wouldn't have your own of sanitary napkins, you wouldn't be reinventing fashion so you wouldn't have to wear a corset, you wouldn't try to bring the convenience of your world to the place your now living. I have a hard time believing that.
Yeah, you can tell the mangaka hasn't read any reincarnation stories.
I'm kinda disappointed the story went the same route it originally did, with the seme switched out. It was funny how desperate he was, but the uke ended up being super bland and 1-dimensional
I think this isn’t reincarnation (not reborn as a kid), it’s transmigration or isekai since he went into a story). There’s reincarnation/transmigration that does have the characters be one dimensional since that’s the point: mc goes into a story, aka story characters will be what they’re written to act as. Though you may be more used to only seeing stories where they treat the story characters as real people
