from all the different attempts at humour that i have ever seen in historical manhwas, the statue bit is probably one of the best and most hilarious ones, only rivalled by the 'joe is a pervert' bit from 'side characters deserve love too'. stupid good but the humour is genuinely tasteful and very funny in this one which really helps.
i don't even wanna get into kelly and diana because it's just 3rd couple filler slop that isn't fun to read, my issue is faye and irene. to me, they are so interesting as a pair but they really aren't good for the story THIS manhua wants to tell. they don't fit in considering the overarching message is literally about how wlw attraction is normal and should be accepted in society, the cruel way irene manipulated faye into fearing men and even letting her believe she killed a man just doesn't fit into this story... it's so odd that the 2nd couple are like this and it really just undermines the whole point. you can do stories like this that are dark and show toxic relationships but in a manhua about wholesome change, this unhealthy dynamic is just jarring and weird to read. main couple is truly amazing, great development and know when to be serious and when to be lighthearted.
