Reborn As The Villain President’s Lover Chapter 62 Discussion

The beginning was rough, but it got a lot better. Although some reviewers said that the ML doesn't seem to be busy with his career, to be fair, the novel is from the MC point of view. Naturally, the readers are not going to see what the ML does day to day in his career. They will only see what the ML does when he is with the MC and usually that would be romantic stuff instead of work. Why would the ML be working during romantic time with the mc? That is bad time management. Most people think that a CEO should be busy all the time with the company. In fact, it is just like most 9-5 jobs. Just like everyone else they have time to relax. Furthermore, the ML has a brother who seems to be the real boss, which might explain why the ML has a lot of free time to visit the MC. Some people think that the ML life revolves around the MC because he isn't seen doing anything else other than be lovey dovey with the MC. But the book is, again, an entertainment circle romance about the MC not a business world fight story about the ml.

I like the banter, flirting and inside jokes between the MC and ml. It made their relationship seem more realistic and fun. Even though their relationship is quite a slow burn, I much prefer it to the insta-love stories now a days.

You get to know both the MC and ML personality as they interact and flirt through dialogue. Though the author never explicitly says that MC is xxx type of personality, you can infer it from the way he interacts with other people. You can see that the MC is a strong, street smart and persevering character. He knows when to step forward and step back. Spoiler

When he is bullied by the make-up artist he stand up for himself because he knows that his status is higher than hers. But against the deputy director he remains quiet. This doesn't mean he is meek. Just that he is smart. Why would he, as a newcomer, s*upidly jeopardise his acting career and offend an established director when he can just endure the bullying during this short period of filming? Which is worse, having your career ended or having to suffer some bad make-up, no sleep and scolding? Sure, he may be able to the accept the ml's help instead of suffering in silence. But what the MC is worried about is that once the ML is not there to protect him anymore, the people the ML offended for him will target him.

[collapse] The MC knows how to think long term. Also, he is funny, hard-working, and has perseverance.

The ML is a good lover, but not perfect and that makes him unique. He is not a cold domineering ceo cardboard cut out like many other mls. He is petty, domineering and can be childish which is can expected as he is a rich 2nd gen. However, he is also very respectful of the MCs wants. Though often asks the MC for s*x, he always accepts no for an answer. He is playful and considerate towards the MC. When he pesters the MC for s*x it reminds me of an annoying younger brother lol. Also the ML has actual friends that he regularly talks to, and hobbies outside his job, which is rare.....

Spoiler

the scene where ML folded stars for the MC is so cute.

A sweet and very original execution of a cliche contract-lover set up. Face slapping and romance was good. I personally enjoyed the book. But it's not for everyone, I guess. Don't read if you only like insta-love.
