I enjoy this story; it seems to unfold endlessly. However, there's more depth to it. I'm eager to see the evolution of the two main characters' emotions. I'm particularly curious about how the hero will handle the situation once he discovers the truth. But I know he must love you very much.
This novel is so good. At first, I read this manhwa and was a bit confused about why no one knew about their relationship, but it all gets explained later. The female lead (FL) moves on with her life after a broken heart, while the male lead (ML) continues living with his amnesia. I thought I would get frustrated with the story, but I really enjoyed it because both the FL and ML are neither pathetic nor dumb; they are smart. And the daughter is so cute...
If you're a grown woman who has found a loving, equal relationship after a series of bad ones, this story might not resonate with you. Even more so if you've worked at a company with excellent work-life balance.
FL deserves much better. ML is the typical third-generation chaebol, born with a golden spoon and entirely under his wealthy family's control. While he may be a victim of his family's abuse, it doesn't justify his actions toward FL.
Here are some examples I've noticed:
- If I dated someone for eight months and they never introduced me to their friends or family, I'd end things immediately. In real life, such behavior usually means you're the side chick. I don't care if he's a prince or in witness protection; if he can't make new friends while studying abroad and introduce them to me, something is seriously wrong with him.
- He doesn't remember FL but is still very possessive of her. This puts FL in a difficult position, especially since he holds a powerful position, like CEO, which was essentially guaranteed for him if he just met the bare minimum requirements.
- The toxic work culture in East Asia likely contributed to the issues. In Chapters 26-27, life should come before work, not the other way around. Companies will work you to death, and the only ones who'll remember your late hours are your family, especially a little girl waiting for her mother to come home early for her birthday party.
- There was also a sabotage, so it wasn't even FL's fault. She just happened to work at a toxic company with toxic coworkers, and her ex, who is the big boss, made things worse.
- ML complained that FL didn't respond to his texts over the weekend, asking how she could have chores if she didn't even look at her phone. His privilege is overwhelming; even if I had free time on weekends, I wouldn't talk to my boss. Whatever it is can wait until Monday. And if I had chores? Sometimes I forget to breathe. Responding to my boss's messages is the last thing on my mind. Sorry, boss, not everyone comes from a rich family with servants. I don't owe you my time or energy outside of working hours.
It's probably how they build the story, but I'm dropping the series because I don't want to see ML be happy. It feels like "Remarried Empress" but with Rashta ending up happy with Soviesch despite everything they did.
I think ML should remain FL's past mistake. She was young and didn't know better. Now, she deserves much, much better.
