This review is for the entire series.
At first I was slightly intrigued as this one reminded me a bit of one of my favourite mangas - Hana-Kimi, Vol. 1 - but the more I read, the less I saw the similarities between the two and the more I understood that this one isn't half as lighthearted and sweet. It also had a lot more angst to it with some pretty difficult scenes in the meantime.
This is my first Korean manga. Ever. And I guess that's why I still had problems distinguishing some of the characters' names even after I had read a pretty big portion of the entire story. I am quite used to the senpai and oneesan stuff, but this one with hyungs and oppas was pretty new for me. The other thing that was a bit difficult for me to understand at first, was the fact that I didn't have to read from right to left as opposed to Japanese mangas.
Love in the Mask has a lot of fighting scenes where you can see one or other character all bloodied up and for a time it was quite interesting for me. After 17 volumes or so it grew a bit tedious, but I continued with the story anyway as I was pretty invested in the characters already and I thought that everything was going pretty well till the last (I think) volume rolled around and everything became really weird. The ending seemed a bit rushed and artificial and maybe the mangaka got a bit bored with the story after all that time as the ending made very little sense to me after all those previous chapters. The story could have used at least 10 more chapters easily simply because then the story would have made more sense as a whole.
And also, I was not actually pleased with the rushed ending not only because it was rushed, but also because I felt that Hyun-Bin ended up with the wrong man. I do not grudge her her happy ending, but I do grudge the mangaka for not making her end up with my favourite male character from the very first chapters. Those two had a lot more chemistry between them and felt that the relationship between the two, who did have their HEA in the end, was a bit forced. I will not include any names as I feel that would be too spoilerish for those who have not had a chance to give this series a shot yet. :)

So intense. Yes it was confusing. Yes I don’t know who half the characters are. Yes the gender reveal was confusing and a bit disappointing and the ending was a bit rushed, but I think the high level of drama and violence makes up for it. If anything, violence was missing from the last volume. Also, I wasn’t sure if main character had found her real mom or if it was just a coincidence thing. I would enjoy seeing this adapted into a live action drama though.

Finally finished , I don't like to write reviews so much but this manhwa was special , long ,and so tiring to read and remember , the names was complicated and i had to use paper and pen to write names and some quet. too, and that makes me fell like I'm not reading graphic book but big novel . To be honest I am not into this kind of book or I normally didn't pick it up also I prefer manga to manhwa but suddenly I felt like why not let's give it try , and it is really worth it . The story can't have a normal summary but I can give you some notes here or there the main character is Suh Hyun_bin a girl who was working for gang as beggar with her little brother she was only six if i remember right ,after suffering from hanger and illness her brother died . A rich family have taken care of her and raise her as male bodyguard for little girl called Yea -ha yun "u can imagine how i suffer with the names though i use my notes^_T" . She considered that girl as her sister and put her in the same place as her brother took in her heart . On other hand there are yun ha lee and Bi rak chun and both important character she has met through her life as bodyguard for yea ha , her love for yun ha lee and her loyalty and caring for yea ha "who has emotion for yun ha" and also her secret identity as female"I mean Hyun bin " that no one knows even yea ha and yun ha lee . She has to move to china or another country I don't remember exactly for work to yea ha 's grandfather , There for second time she met Bi Rak chun a gangster man she had saved him once and he remembered her but also as a boy after some circumstances he knew her true identity and started to fall for her . After many difficulties they had suffered together he got killed and she suffered from amnesia . years later she met Yun ha lee as a girl, he did not recognize her but he felt the same way that he felt with her when she acted as yea ha's bodyguard , after sometimes and many things that happened to them he knew her and she remembered everything the got married , In the end of the story their daughter met Bi Rak chun and Ca Hyun Tea 's son who have the same face as his father and started their love story with a faces that resemble Suh Hyun Bin and Bi Rak Chun.
The story line 's very good written and the characters also have many sides as good and bad the worst thing about this story is the length and the drama . I guess this will be my first and last time reading such kind of book but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy reading it , It was one of my favourite though .So If you like love stories that full with sadness , struggling , drama , complicated names ^U^and strong well woman as heroin , this is your best choice.^-^

Al principio me empezó a gustar, la idea era interesante ademas de que es un nuevo genero para mi (Gender Bender), pero conforme iba avanzando, aunque me gustaba, sentí que la autora (o autor, aunque el nombre parece femenino) lo estaba alargando demasiado; pero ahora que lo terminado me atrevo a decir que ha valido la pena.
Hyunbin, la verdad es que al empezar a leer me espera una ambientación diferente pero Hyunbin a sabido alegrarme la lectura. Pero admito que conforme iba avanzando empezaba a pensar: "¡Se feliz de una vez, chica! ¡Deja de pensar en la estúpida y pobre rana!"; la verdad es que cuando la pobre empezaba a hacerse sufrir a si misma me daban unas entrar en la historia y darle un golpe en la cabeza para que se animara de una vez...
Yaeha, al principio me gusto pero conforme iba avanzando la historia la empece a odiar por ser tan "pesadita" con su amor por Yunha (eso era pesadez y estupidez, no persistencia), pero al final me termino cayendo un poco bien.
Yunha, sin palabras en el buen sentido. La verdad es que a veces hacia muchas y bastantes estupideces por Hyunbin, pero eso lo hacia romántico y trágico... Como Romeo y Julieta... sin la muerte, claro esta.
Birak, aunque me gusto bastante . Pero aun así me gusto,
Gahyun, al principio no me cayo muy bien ya que interpretaba el rol del malo, aunque tenia sus razones no podía evitar que me cayera mal. Pero después de la fase "Yunha", ya me empezó a caer mejor, mucho mejor.
Chi Ho, no hay mucho que decir, solo que cuando llega el momento es un verdadero pesadito con eso del destino, tanto que parece egoísta; aunque al menos no tanto como Yaeha. ¬¬
Y ya no tengo nada mas que decir.
Resumiendo, Love in the mask es buen manga, con bastante romance (y desesperación y angustia por parte Hyunbin ¬¬) como Romeo y Julieta, aunque se me hizo demasiado largo para mi gusto. Si hicieran un anime me lo vería sin dudar, al menos seria corto... ¿no?

This series was SO GOOD but I think I may be severely emotionally damaged for at least a few months. It was such a roller coaster ride and I don't think that I have ever been so emotionally punched in the stomach this hard before. The last page seriously gave me such intense goosebumps and chills. I really want to sob hysterically right now, but my roommate would think I am a crazy weirdo, so I must just move on and forget about this series. Or at least move on to something different so I don't feel so depressed anymore. It even had a happy ending, I don't know why I feel so sad and empty!!
P.S. Don't get genuinely worried about me, I'll be okay soon :D

Hey...read carefully. Contains spoilers.
The story was awesome till Chun Bi Rak died. Except for Chi Ho and Ha-Gyun acting like morons...still I understood their characters. But after Bi Rak's incident, I think the story lost the focus on its main character Lee Yun Ha. No no no...I don't like this at all...I almost felt like killing Hyun Bin. The chemistry between them was much more alive before all these...Ahhh...and the way Lee Yun Ha and Yae knew about Hyun Bin was simply pathetic! :'(
