Yane's manga / #the guy with a giant top hat basically controls all the stories .... he's also in all the stories(1)

My rating: 9,5/10 (The ending was a bit rushed, but I LOVED this story) HISTORICAL, DRAMA, REVENGE In Joseon lives Cheongdam, the owner of a trendy shop, together with her adoptive mother and her friends. But one of them, Eul Jiro, is secretly the son of a minister and loves her. One day, he brings along his friend the king, Yi Taewon, who also hides his identity. When he falls for her too, what will become of them. And are they going to be happy, with the king's father conspiring his evil plan? ️ Edit (Spoiler): The FL: She's actually the daughter of the late king. Her mother got murdered by the current king's father in order to make HIS son the king. But she survived without his knowledge and got raised by her mother's friend. Her father lost himself after his lover's death and left her only to die a miserable death. But the FL doesn't know of her own backstory. Her adoptive mother seeks to send her to China to ensure her safety and wants to Eul Jiro go with her and protect her. However, she falls for the king and suffers a huge shock after her adoptive mother gets killed and she has to flee with Jiro leaving her lover behind. Years later, she returns to take revenge and in the end joins forces with the king. They will have a happy ending, but it's TOO SHORT! The ML: He's the king who got installed by his father as a puppet king and loses himself after the disappearance of the FL believing that she died. He never pays his queen any mind and sleeps around with concubines giving his power to his father. But when the FL returns and he realises that she's still well, he does everything he can to make her join forces with him. Even when she leaves him after everything is over, he searches five years for her and reunites with her in France. The second ML: I love him. He dedicates his life to the FL and even loses his own father when he flees with her and protects her from the king's father. He really could be called the perfect lover. Even when he realises that the FL loves the king, he stays by her side and lets her go to find happiness in the end. He himself then embarks on a journey to "find the man he once lost". I want to comfort him ...
