"i wish we were underwater living as fish then I would understand you without having to hear you "
This book manages to make me connect with too much feelings...it made me cry like a baby.. So much unfairness and ugliness,yet she still manages to see it differently. So brave ,so tender and so compassionate for this kind of world.
I'm also learning more and more of the Korean history as i go through this book. The massacre ..i wish it wasn't real. I really wish it was just work of fiction. May they rest in peace..

Réellement la sortie de l’année et je suis tellement peinée qu’elle soit si discrète….
Toujours aussi juste et affûtée dans la plume, le tome 2 n’a fait que raviver ce que j’avais déjà ressenti dans le premier tome, je n’ai qu’une hâte c’est de lire le tome 3 et de chialer encore hihi.

High Clear Temporada (2) Final ✅
Ngl, tuve mis dudas a mitad de la 1era temporada sobre si quería continuar leyendo la historia, ya que no me terminaba de cuadrar la personalidad de Jeong-min que decía poco o nada en todas las interacciones con Juwon, sólo lo miraba fijamente. Por otro lado, Juwon es un personaje con demasiada personalidad... Muy gracioso (básicamente un meme andante), patético y adorable, sensible e inseguro, pero con un corazón inmensooo que fija su atención en Jeong-min y, a partir de ese momento, nunca desvía la mirada.
Pese a todo eso, la 2da temporada arranca fuerte y mantiene el ritmo hasta el final. Es de las cosas que más me ha impresionado en líneas generales. Ya he leído historias que, por querer hacerlas innecesariamente largas, pierden la magia y da fastidio terminarlas. Pero aquí no sucede eso. La cantidad de capitulos (69!! Para nada subliminal jaja) fue perfecta. Los conflictos sentimentales que se plantearon me parecieron sumamente realistas y bien pensados en relación con la personalidad de los protas.
Fue una historia con un poco de todo. Comedia, romance, angst, momentos sexys !!! (Shockeada por la química sexual que destilan esos dos juntos, sobre todo Jeong-min. Like sir. Es cierto que los calladitos son los más peligrosos, especialmente en la cama. PEAK HOTNESSS *grita desesperadamente*)
No tengo ninguna queja, la verdad. Hubo un balance perfecto entre todos los elementos: no hubo exceso de drama (el tema central tiene como base la falta de comunicación debido a la personalidad introvertida y, en ocasiones, sumamente insegura de ambos protas), ni exceso de cursilería (amé todas las escenas lindas y emocionales), tampoco infinidad de encuentros sexuales solo porque sí (vivan los bottoms musculosos).
Puros aciertos !! Es el mejor manhwa moderno que he leído hasta los momentos. 10/10.
Pd: toy triste porque la autora no está en la plataforma y me tocó agarrar otro manhwa para poder añadirlo a mi challenge

This is one of the fairytale retelling that I enjoyed so far reading in a manhwa. Most of the retelling that I've found where about Cinderella or was executed poorly, but I can say that this manhwa really did justice. I was unable to determine what will be the next thing that will happen. At first, I thought that it will be Yunhwa who will be the villain in this story and will be the hindrance between Sua and Uihyeon, but I was wrong. I kept myself from commenting such things especially against Haesu and Yeongyeong, but their story was also shown in this manhwa where you are able to know the reason behind their actions. I felt disappointed when Yunhwa suddenly died. I can also say that the arc where Sua started living with the Whale Star and Uihyeon dragged too much or there was no remarkable actions that I was able to see, and then suddenly the progress of the story suddenly become fast after the movement was found until the arc where things go crazy. I feel sad that there was no happy ending in this story, but this manhwa was able to see the realistic side that not all fairy tales have a happy ending, like Ariel who became a sea foam after being left by her Prince Charming.

This review covers chapter 18 - 35 of the webtoon.
The characters are complex and I understand how each of them has their own motives, desires and fears. The development of Su-a and Uihyeon's friendship is slow but smooth - he wants to protect her and she him. There's also a bit of a bittersweet feeling between them because they both feel as if they can't do much for each other, though they are trying their best.
What Haesu did to Su-a was wrong and now he's paying for it, but he was right when he said that he didn't have a choice in order to protect everyone else in the movement. In that sense, Haesu and Uihyeon act to contrast each other. The author has done a brilliant job in drawing out and developing these characters as the story moves along.

Questa serie mi sta piacendo molto. Ben disegnata molto interessante per i risvolti storico culturali di una Corea poco conosciuta, quella succube del dominio giapponese. Per me, non ai livelli di potenza espressiva dei lavori di Keum Suk Gendry-Kim ma decisamente merita di essere continuata. In attesa del 3 di 6.

Read English translation for episodes up to Ep 50 on Webtoons.
Very slow moving, poignant storyline with tragic Korean & Japanese historical events that keep me coming back to find hope for these characters. Well written with stellar art.
