Love in the Mask

I don't really usually rate something I watched or read, but this manhwa was an exception. This really is one of the best manhwa I have ever read! I strongly suggest many to read it, but if you are as sensitive as I am, be prepared for a lot of tissues xD

Love in the Mask is about an orphaned girl, Suh Hyun Bin, who was forced to live as a guy in order to survive. She isn't just your typical protagonist who lived a horrible life and then just magically becomes one who lives a perfect life. It is way much more than that. This manhwa was pretty long with a total of 134 chapters but I completed all in three days with nights I've spent past 1 am to read. Although long, the story was really well written and just kept pulling me to continue reading.

The art wasn't particularly unique but is enjoyable. In the beginning, Hyun Bin was portrayed as a male but later on, the art changes a bit and readers can tell that Hyun Bin looks more of a female. There were some designs that I didn't really like, but overall, it was beautiful!

The characters are the best feature of this manhwa. Each individual character's past and story were really well portrayed and were strong. There were some characters that I really wished that the author could have shown more though.

Enjoyment was outstanding. I really enjoyed reading every chapter of this manhwa and I still can't get enough of it. It would be awesome if they made a sequel.

Overall, I still give this manhwa a 9. Near the end, I felt that things were a bit too rushed and didn't give enough time for readers to get used to them. I believe that the author could have done more but it is still an awesome manhwa! Truly a beautiful manhwa and one of the best!

This is the longest manhwa/manga I've read that is completed. Overall I rate it a 7 even though I enjoyed the story and the fact that it's reverse harem.

Storyline: As mentioned already, our female lead has a pretty rough life as child and is saved by a rich powerful man. In exchanged for her survival she's to obey their orders and pretty much live as a robot without feelings and opinions while acting as a bodyguard to the family's only granddaughter. Eventually she meets multiple men that puts her through a whole lot of emotional and mental roller coasters. Despite having feelings for one of them, she tries her best to conceal her feelings.. In my opinion she doesn't do a really good job at it. xD There'll be lots of hardships encountered.

Art: not really a fan of this style but I got used to it. So it's okay.

Character: there are a few characters I found extremely annoying at times like the other female character. There's also a male character that comes into the picture in the middle of the manhwa... I didn't quite feel like his appearance was necessary as he kind just showed up, talked about love not being able to exist, then falls in love, and leaves the story after admitting defeat. Tried my best not to spoil it, but..


Romance: there's way too much going back and forth. Although I always love persistent men, in the latter half there were many times I wished the female lead would just die so the men would feel bad for causing her death. xD I'm exaggerating it, but really. If she says leave, and she'll find you there's probably a reason. Like what do you want to do by showing up? Witness her death?

Anyway, I would've probably scored this an 8 or9 overall IF the romance was a little better, and the ending wasn't so rushed. It was terribly rushed and in like the last 3 chapters I didn't have the slightest clue what was going on anymore. And then comes the last chapter or two to explain the current situation. IT IS A HAPPY ENDING but, just because it's happy doesn't mean I was happy with how they rushed/executed the ending.

Try it out! May or may not be for you. There are at times too much drama, but if KDramas are already a thing to you, it's no different.

This is one of the most original manhwa ever. Almost every gender bending manhwa have the same pattern but this one is different.

Story:
A girl who has to survive in an early age. Having to disguise as a guy since she was young. The story is full of unpredictable events. You would be surprise how the characters change and mature.

Art:
The art is superb. I have to admit that this manhwa is one of the reason that I would say most of the shoujo manhwa is better than shoujo manga. Don't get me wrong shoujo manga is really good but shoujo mahwa would always take the cake. :)

Character:
The hero and heroine is cool. And they really suite each other. And you would really hate the villain especially the girl.

Enjoyment:
As for the enjoyment I have to say that it was on top. I read all the available chapters straight. I seldom do that so there you go. You would get addicted to it and would definitely ask for more.

Overall:
It would be 9 for since I haven't finish it yet.

So if your looking for unique and original genser-bending manhwa you should read one.

This manwha... Just yikes.

I honestly was in love when I started this manwha. It has so much heart and the heroine is strong in the face of tragedy. The two leads gradually begin to have feelings for each other despite the fact that our heroine is believed to be male.

Then things just took a downward spiral. Don't get me wrong. It was great for a while, but soon things just got so dragged out to the point where it seemed as though these romantic conflicts wouldn't conclude. And then of course as we need the end soap opera-like occurrences begin to pop up taking the story in a direction that I really despised.

So baskically, the ending was shotty and ridiculous (I won't be specific to avoid spoilers) and just such a waste when this manwha had so much potential to be great.
