Crazy Girl Shin Bia-Ah review

I can't say that I haven't heard of this type of story before, of someone being thrown into the past and given a ton of responsibilities in addition to accustoming himself or herself to the culture and traditions of another time period. The beginning seemed a little promising; the main character was shown in her natural habitat, the time period where she was born, and was not immediately transported to the other world, though there were glimpses between each place, so I like that much.

When she was finally brought over there by mysterious means, the situation was repeatedly very humorous because she tried so hard to go back to where she came. As funny as it was, however, toward the middle of the manhwa I was feeling tired of it. It was no longer hilarious and the main character didn't grasp her situation very well. The drama that was once interesting became petty and a little too familiar to shoujo.

I was a little more satisfied with the ending, however. There was a surprising event that occurred that improved my outlook a bit. The author did a better job at tidying up the pieces and even included a chapter epilogue.

As I'm not surprised with a lot of manhwa, this one had stupendous art. While it was not so perfect at the beginning, like sometimes eye placement was a little off, the quality of the artwork greatly improved when Bia went to the other world. The author put in great detail to draw costumes, clothes, hair styles and ornaments, decorations, and ancient buildings. There were plenty of casual scenes in the story to draw, but they never looked casual because of how artistic they were. Everything was absolutely gorgeous.

Shin Bia is definitely an admirable protagonist. In addition to being stunningly beautiful, she's a good fighter and can hold her own. She's not afraid to take action or even put herself in danger for her own motives. However, when she goes to the other world, she finds herself weaker than the men there since they have spent a lifetime training to fight, and women in that country are nothing like her: they're prim, proper, and don't speak out. For these reasons, Bia stands out a lot and really takes the role of main character.

While initially I was greatly impressed by her character, I became annoyed with it later on in the story. In addition to her strength, she is of course very stubborn, and she doesn't always use her head. Sometimes she makes stupid decisions and doesn't listen to those who know better, and consequently she ends up in situations where she can only be a damsel in distress calling for help. She is a good character, no doubt, but I feel that she could have been more helpful and had experienced more character development.

Other characters were fine enough, some I liked more than others, though maybe I could have liked them more had I known more things about them. I had a few back stories about some of them, but that was all. Most of the important men seemed the same. They looked different, but they were all good fighters, only separated by their skill. The important men were bishounen, and I thought they were pretty good-looking and didn't have eyelashes that were too long. The women were pretty or average, not much to say. The characters were an okay bunch; the best I can say is that their appearances were very attractive.

I thought to give this manga an 8/10 when I was laughing so hard at it before, but due to the plot slowing down and getting boring and somewhat frustrating in the middle, enjoyment score must be a 7. It definitely is most funny at the beginning, drawn out in the middle, and better at the end. The artwork is amazing. The characters are not that original, but they do the job. If you're up for some laughs, this manhwa wouldn't be so bad to consider. I just wish it were a little shorter.
