The thing about this book is that it lets you dive in everyone's memories,even the ones you despise. It let's you see what happened..what exactly changed..how they turned to be the person they are. It let's you see them as people. Humans. It's refreshing and heartbreaking at the same time.

El padre de Uihyeon añadido a la lista de peores padres 😡👊🏻
Coraje el que traigo atorado porque no veo ni una gota de arrepentimiento en Yeongyeong y Haesu 😡
Manifestación del día: que Uihyeon no se case con Haruka 😭😭😭
Cada volumen me gusta más, este término con un nuevo rumbo para los personajes.

this has got to be one if the best ones out there. the characters are so well-written. the story also presents characters with constant dilemmas which maneuvers the story. also, it gives a peak on a historical event. i love it so much.

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.

The world building is amazing and I greatly appreciate how in-depth each character is written. The story continues to show how the world is not black and white, and how times of war pushed people to act in ways they never thought they would. I truly love seeing backstories of the character and understanding the deeper meanings to their actions besides just labeling them "enemy" "hero" etc. A historical story with multi-dimensional characters and and beautiful telling of someone's love for their nation and search for freedom.

This review covers chapter 36 - 50 of the webtoon.

We are almost halfway through the story and while I do like the pacing, I can't help but worry that the author will throw a plot twist somehow somewhere in the coming chapters.

It almost feels like the calm before the storm.

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.
