[The Villainess Turns the Hourglass]

This manhwa is one I recently finished re-reading and oh boy...the impression it left on me is truly something. Of course, I naturally jumped on here to see whether others had similar opinions to mine, yet I was disappointed to find out it was quite the opposite.

Nonetheless, as a Literature student and a die -hard fan of this story, I feel like I want to give my perspective here as well. I wish to write a few of posts analysing in detail some of the most important characters (blame my passion for my studies or my ADHD or maybe both :)).

Warning ahead, I haven't read the novel yet, so this is just about my thoughts on the manhwa alone. It may ruffle some feathers, but I do sincerely believe many people failed to properly READ the story. The plot itself wasn't necessarily hard to follow, but many misunderstood the characters, hence the hate this manhwa gets.

You may believe I am being biased here since I said I am a fan, but to be fair, the first time I read it I was too rather annoyed. Everything seemed too smooth ; there were no obstacles, no actual villains and the revenge became rather tedious and unimpressive after a while. However, after reading it a second time, things changed. We are all so used right now to reading stories with intricate, complex worlds, characters over-explaining every detail and solving everything through communication - yet this manhwa brings a healthy dose of realism which you may not be fully aware of. The dialogue and monologues tend to be rather witty and often leave room for interpretation, ergo the confusion it creates.

This is all I have to say for now. Next I want to write a post that will target Aria's character, so if you are curious, tag along.
