Is he going to have portraits of himself and nobility he treats to increase his credibility?! LMAOOO
It’s so nice to see innocent Bibeong before he became a grump haha (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Is he a reference to Cale from Trash/Lout of the Count’s Family?
Cale is hotter ofc, but I see similarities
Gotta admit, they were really cooking in the beginning. I probably should’ve clocked it as one of those stories that were doing too much, but the premise was so nicely presented that I overlooked it.
She really let her guard down too soon. Did she learn nothing from her transmigration and think her real life be easier than the past 20 years that she went through?
Then again, I somehow forgot my dislike of MLs killing FL in past life, then ending up together in the present. Sheesh _(￣へ￣)_/
This MF really had me thinking that the friend was the author of the story. It was a dumb theory, but I was right that she was working to help her grandmother, just not the way I was thinking since it turns out he was the mastermind all along… from the very beginning?!
I’m literally just going to stick around to watch a train wreck haha. If you’re cheering on 2nd ML, you might like Secret Alliance
Aka the title is a lie and is probably more fitting of another actual regretful winning ML. Looking at you “How to reject my obsessive ex-husband” but gets together anyways-
The only unique thing I liked was that she actually had to work/train for her skills instead of instant knowledge, but other than that she’s still a Mary Sue doing all the work to stay with a trash lead. We don’t know what she sees in him, just as we don’t know what he sees in her. What a perfect couple hahaha
She’s so devoted to her bias, she ignores the OG plot with the OG ML, so he has to be in disguise in order to be around her and save her at crucial times. I agree with the commenter who said that they should’ve just made OG ML a villain to justify MC sticking with her bias, but instead made herself look insane for writing 10 paragraphs crying justice for trash, and getting transmigrated into the story to live her fantasy without consequences.
If not that and he had to be good, then I wish that Jay’s identity was MC’s family: a half brother looking out for his illegitimate sister instead of being the OG ML who’s more helpful than trash.
And the plot holes… CP & OG ML knew that MC was not the original, but idk why they want ML to be happy when there’s nothing redeemable about him.
Despite regret being in the name, there’s not much of it going on in the story. It’s just in reference in the OG plot or the second to last chapter where he reads her letter and finally realizes what he’s done, but is still stubborn about staying together with her. I didn’t see him being reformed at all. She just takes him as he is and doesn’t do anything to change him.
I know that the premise is for the couple to be happy, but it has so much potential for another transmigrator to come in and ruin it for her hahah. Maybe take over the villainess and end up with OG ML?
In the finale with them finally getting the wedding ceremony a year after everything, they still don’t have a kid? Wasn’t that the whole point of them getting permission for marriage, let alone being able to live together in the first place? Is the plot point of transcendents going down the drain?
ML did say that he loves her more than an heir, but wasn’t there any suspicion or complaints from the rest of the family after a whole year going by with no kid? Also, in her plans for the future, there isn’t any mention of having a child (and she has mentioned the pains of pregnancy) so idk what’s the point anymore hahaha. Another two leads who are crazy about each other and will not let anyone get between them.
I liked the story for what it is, despite being a bit messy, since I’m a sucker for childhood friends (?) to unrequited love to mutual love. Classic idiot who has no idea that his best friend who comforts him through heartbreaks, has feelings for him.
The pacing seems fine to me, unlike similar stories where they drag on the plot and have lots of smut… iykyk. But then again, the set up is a lot simpler in comparison of folklore, so snail power!
I didn’t like the way they glossed over Weon getting his memories back. Then again, it wasn’t a dramatic rescue scene, but I feel like it was overshadowed by the proposal. And the realization that Toran was always there for him felt very understated. We also don’t know how they ended up separating, but probably Toran decided he needed to leave in order to repay Weon and used mind fog / snail power.
The ending is very open tho, because we don’t know what happened after they got married (and were robbed of wedding pics! (╥﹏╥ ). So it looks like Toran did choose to become human, but had a child before that? Was it more of his “most promising snail” powers? Haha. Also, it seems like he’s able to serve humans now.
Is their son a halfling? He looks older than expected to be telling stories to, but also snails only take about a year to become an adult, soooo I blame the unreliable narrator that we don’t have side stories and the focus is on the main couple.
Still would’ve liked to see the magpie x boss’s development. And what happened to the other side characters? Sunbae who? What about Weon’s human friends? I would’ve liked to see them meeting Toran and eating at his restaurant. But then again, they would meet their son and I’m not sure how that would go.
Also, it’s a crime that their second greatest adversary went poof and we never get to see his child/liver storage (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Lastly, I’m a bit sad that Weon never got around to getting a snail stamp. Since they took the time to talk about animal stamps, it would’ve been on the cherry on top for me, but it’s just a weird random detail that I expected too much out of haha
If you want to know why they be kissing, it’s because it’s more effective than yelling and resorting to violence in public haha. They may call themselves brothers, but they’re not related and have been together for a long time.
I enjoyed it for what it is, a beautiful tragedy. The plot twists were pretty good. It’s an open ending, but I can accept it compared to the other options.
The first going unsaid, since it’s basically the official ending but LM goes out of control without his handler. The second option being the cycle continuing, and BM ditching Hansoo eventually. I’m not sure how that parting would’ve went, since she clearly wanted to stay with them, so the official ending is technically better breakaway where BM finally gets to rest, which is in line with the creator’s vision.
Although we can see from the ending that Hansoo is still sticking around the abandoned church. I would only say that she has a problem if she kept cleaning the place like she used to. Technically, since BM is canonically rich, wouldn’t the remains be her inheritance in a way? But I hope that she’ll be able to move on eventually. I wasn’t that annoyed by her (at least compared to the other guy, but the chairman arc was painfully cringy) and I do feel some pity that she finally reunited with her idolized father figure, only to be let down that he could never be that for her.
Also, I’m not sure if LM would carry on BM’s legacy. It’s a nice thought that he would finally listen to his dying words and stop being delulu, but based on the ending, I got the impression that he would live his life in isolation, Frozen style. Or maybe that’s just me romanticizing it haha, and maybe he’ll go back to living amongst humans after mourning BM since he has to sustain his insatiable appetite in order to live.
It’s tragically beautiful karma for sure, LM turning the hunter into a vampire on a whim, only for him to make a comeback and puppeteer him into killing BM, his companion.
Finally, the blue eyed idiot. He was clearly created to be hated, chasing after pipe dreams. I can’t believe his wife supported him for 10 years - should’ve left after 5 and be grateful they didn’t have kids. Based on the ending, I can only hope that they divorced, seeing as he’s still in the area instead of moving back like she wanted. Even though I’m annoyed that he survived this mess and only ended with a reputation of being a madman, I hope his bloodline ends with him.
Welp, time to make the family in my Tomodachi game, haha.
It’s not really a spoiler, but I’m marking it just in case.
I did read the novel after season 1 ended, so I felt something off with the newest update. The imposters were familiar, but in the novel they didn’t travel in the desert with the real ones.
It might make the story more interesting than I remember, so we’ll see
One moment called her a bitch, the next saluting her hahaha
