خيبة امل بكل ما تعنيه الكلمة🙃 من مدح الكل عنها فكرتها هتكون مانهو رهيبة طلعت قصتها نسخ من قصة the Tainted half، ما عجبتني ابد لا القصة ولا الشخصيات حسيت اني ضيعت وقتي عل فاضي.

This is illegal for how much I cried while reading this. I FELT SO BAD FOR MY DUDE JA HYUN OH MY WORD
March 30, 2024
-Spoilers Ahead-
The story itself is really good and unique, and I found myself really enjoying this. However, the way that Midnight Studio abuses its authors and artists is not good. I read the webtoon rather than the novel, and as I came to the end, I was left unsatisfied. I went to the comments to see if other people felt the same way and found out that they did. In addition to that, I found out that the ending was rushed and a lot of the stuff from the novel was either changed or not included at all in the webtoon, which I was disappointed about.
Apparently, Midnight Studio was putting too much pressure on its artist to produce art more quickly that they ended up quitting, and the result of that was the studio releasing all the finished chapters even though it made the ending very abrupt. I did not enjoy the ending, particularly because I feel like more could have been done. Ja Hyun was such a big part of this webtoon, but his ending didn't really seem complete to me.
Honestly, Soru deserved better than everyone in this whole thing combined, and I honestly felt so bad for her because she never actually got to live a normal life like she wanted to. Not even in the end. She was abused and used by everyone in the webtoon, and the best character was literally the demon who had stolen her sight. Yato was the better guy between Ja Hyun and him. Every time Soru was in danger, he was always the one coming to rescue her rather than her supposed to be husband. Ja Hyun could not even have a conversation with Soru for 10 seconds without yelling at her. She always seemed so scared in his presence, and the fact he kept saying horrible things to her and didn't even seem to accept his feelings for Soru really made me root for Yato.
In the webtoon, Soru still has feelings for that bastard Ja Hyun even after he abandoned her to get beaten by a mob of people while she was trying to save his life. She lives her life with Yato, but it doesn't seem her love for Ja Hyun is over. However, in the novel, Soru gets over Ja Hyun and lives a happy life with Yato, which would be the perfect ending since Soru deserves all the happiness possible after everything she's been through. In the novel, it's also clearer just how abusive Ja Hyun was. He cheated on her multiple times and didn't really seem to care about her.
In the end, even when he claims to love Soru, he still marries that purple princess and lives a life as king. At least he was miserable all the time without Soru, but that's what he deserved after treating someone so pure and innocent, in such a disgusting manner.
The start and middle of the story are really promising and good, but the ending just kind of ruined it for me. I don't think this is the author's fault, but rather Midnight Studio that can't treat its employees properly.

★★★★☆
(trampita porque no encuentro el manhwa en Goodreads, entonces dejo mi comentario aquí)
Una historia inesperada de como nunca debes conformarte con el mínimo de nadie, tu mereces más.
Ahora, debo admitir que estoy haciendo algo de trampa aquí, porque no leí la novela, si no el manhwa. Y no suelo incluir los manhwas que leo en mis lecturas del año, pero me encantó tanto esta, que no puedo dejarla de un lado. De hecho, hasta me han dado las ganas de leerme la novela de verdad.
Los dibujos están bien hechos y logran trasmitirme muchas emociones. Las expresiones de los personajes emanaban tanto sentimiento que me encontré casi llorando al leer. Y creo que esa capacidad artística nos dejó ver muy bien como experimentaba el mundo Soru, solo podía mirar demonios, muerte, oscuridad y nada más. Nos hizo entender su desesperación por mantenerse cerca de Jahyeon, y mas adelante su gran empatía por Yato.
Siendo un manhwa, es difícil hablar del desarrollo de personaje, al final creo que todo paso muy rápido, tanto para Jahyeon como para Soru. No quiero dar mucho spoiler, pero si considero que su crecimiento es muy apurado en los últimos capítulos, mientras que el de Yato se toma mucho más tiempo.
Ahora, igual me encariñé demasiado con Soru, es imposible no hacerlo. Ver como la tratan injustamente sin poder entender el potencial que lleva dentro de ella, solo por orgullo y poder, es casi desgarrador. Y es de mis personajes favoritos porque a pesar de todo el mal se ha mantenido amble y empática aunque muchos no lo merezcan. Lamentablemente, como ya mencioné, su desarrollo al final fue muy apurado. Me hubiera gustado ver más de su vida después de todo, pero me quedo contenta y llena con lo poco que me mostraron porque se ve que al fin consiguió su felicidad.
En cuanto a Jahyeon…, tengo sentimientos encontrados con su personaje. No quiero dar mucho para no arruinar el final, pero no puedo evitar sentir resentimiento hacia él. Siento que empujaba tanto a Soru hasta en momentos donde no había necesidad. Aunque aprendimos de donde viene toda esta desesperación por mantenerse en el poder, no fue suficiente. Y si bien al final hubo desarrollo, no bastó ante mis ojos. Pero su final fue el final satisfactorio.
Y Yato, my man, my demon. Creo que él es el personaje más interesante de toda la novela. O sea, es un demonio que busca ser un humano para entender que es amar, y quiere conseguirlo mediante…asesinato. No de los mejores métodos, debo decir. Su historia fue de las mejores explicadas y se conecta demasiado bien con la de Soru. Estar dentro de su mente, ver que quiere conseguir con todo esto, su anéelo por algo que no está en su naturaleza entender, es fascinante. Obviamente el es antagonista, la manera en la que planea conseguir este nivel de humanidad es…asesinato. Pero también considero que es un reflejo de como el mismo a experimentado la humanidad, mala, prejuiciosa, violenta, y egoísta. 10/10 para él i love you pero parale con el asesinato.
Siento que he hablado demasiado, pero de verdad ha evocado muchas emociones. Para finalizar, las relaciones.
Es claro como veo la relación entre Soru y Jahyeon, hay un lado que lo da todo y hay un lado que no. No porque no pueda, si no porque no quiere y eso lo considero peor que todo. Al estar viendo las cosas desde la perspectiva de Soru me da ganas de ver a Jahyeon como un buen hombre, pero se que lo que está dando es el mínimo (Soru lo ve como algo muy grande pero no lo es). Y podría dar más pero se rehúsa a darlo.
En cuanto a Yato y Soru…son mis favoritos obviamente, no puedo mentir. Y por eso me decepciona haber visto tan poco de ellos, denme algo más. Estábamos todo el tiempo con Soru y Jahyeon, que entiendo, pero yo demando mas Yato y Soru. Su relación es la más compleja y la que viene con más trasfondo. El tipo literalmente tiene que comer su corazón para ser un humano y entender el amor, peor luego se da cuenta de que quiere saber como es el amor junto a ELLA, entonces todo su plan cambia porque no puedes tener tu pastel y comértelo también (este dicho se volvió demasiado literal). Al final la única que puede entender a Yato es Soru (y viceversa), ante todo lo que Yato hace, Soru sabe que está mal, pero lo conoce, sabe de donde vienen sus acciones, y su objetivo siempre es darle la mejor opción de vida (y viceversa). AHHHHHHH, los amo, los amo y lloro cuando pienso en ellos.
Concluyo diciendo que es un manhwa que debe de ser leído, transmitió lo que tenía que transmitir, y me dejó deseando una mini novela que funcionara como un epílogo para ver más de lo que fue de mis queridos personajes.

whoa. this is fucking HEAVY, man… albeit in the best type of way. i don’t even know what to say. this is pretty damn dark; oh, so dark… but simultaneously, it’s so undeniably exquisite—genuinely enthralling writing. this is exactly what a graphic novel ought to be: art in the shape of words; a rare masterpiece. it almost has this… ‘dark maturity’ feel to it that just keeps pulling me further and further in. it’s intricate and pure and depressing and compelling and unique and delicate all at once and ughhh, fuck… the level of artistry’s strong with this one. not only is it beautifully complex, well-paced and so fucking well-written, but the art’s also out-of-this-world ETHEREAL… even my hollow heart feels heavy at this point.
whatever the case: ’twilight poem’ deserves so much more recognition than it’s currently receiving, and it sure as hell deserves a lot more than a couple of nice words from me. the overall quality’s definitely not something one comes across every day… knowing that, there should be much more high ratings for this; much much HIGHER ratings. so much depth, so much emotion with these characters… i can’t stress this enough. and i CANNOT understand why it hasn’t gotten as much attention as i feel it’s earned. truly, genuinely striking. my emotions are all over the place right now. this is art!
i wish there’d be a side story somewhere down the line, though. however much i appreciate the ending, i was informed of how lacking the manhwa’s ending was compared to the novel’s—which is somewhat understandable, now that i know the circumstances of said rushed ending to some degree… but i also won’t mind if this really is the end. i’m just so happy for soru to be at peace, honestly. and even more happy that she got to be with yato! ughhh, i love this match. good for them. <33

this book reminded me of the cheesy "heroes will sacrifice you to save the world, villains will sacrifice the world for you" trope. then the last chapter (外傳) was lowkey just twilight from edward's pov. in other words... i didn't like it. D:
i mean, no wonder it took me ~2 months to finish this book (though tbf i've finished 15 other books since starting this one lol). but(!!) there were definitely certain aspects that i really enjoyed, so i'm planning on reading another book by this author soon. :)
things i liked:
- the silly side character interactions
- the easy-to-picture writing
- korean folklore + dark fantasy worldbuilding
- almost anti-romance plotline
- the author creating the most ungrateful, detestable, borderline abusive male lead in existence then somehow managing to string along readers on a will-they-won't-they situation for 300+ pages?!? slow-burn bait?? that took skill, ngl...
things i disliked:
- aforementioned unlikeable husband. anger issues + pedophile vibes. but again, takes talent to write hateable characters.
- SORU!!! oh my GOSHHSGHGHFD. she was particularly atrocious in the first half. she cried every 5 pages, was described as so thin 🥺 and childlike 🥺 and pale 🥺 and scrawny 🥺 on basically EVERY PAGE (kid you not), and was infantilized like no other i've ever seen. major pick me vibes, especially the scene where she’s trying FOUR times to be called pretty,, like,, girl,,,, unfortunately there is minimal (i repeat, mi-ni-mal) character development, so she's pretty much a pain to read about throughout all 576 pages.
- don't really get yato, his desire for love, his backstory, why he's drawn to soru, et cetera. which is a pretty major issue bc he's a huge part of the plot :sob:
TLDR every main character sucked. maybe i should give the webtoon a go?

Honestly, everything about this manhwa was perfect (everything = yato) while i really loved and felt bad for the fl for what she had gone through but.. *INHALES* she made me frustrated with her constant begging to ja hyun or whatever his name was. He was BLIND to the very end yet she just didn’t see it. Even at the start when he used her blood to form a “healing” business and get a reputation for himself i lost interest in his character. Because he felt bad deep down and still DID IT not to mention soru was literally accepting to be a walking blood bag? YATO COULD NEVER. while yato was originally a monster and had borrowed a human’s body. But he felt sympathy and for years he tried to be a real human and understand & feel human emotions. I loved how he constantly threatened soru that he’ll eat her heart since her heart was celestial and could turn him to a real human with emotions but he didn’t do it to the very end, and i loved the part when he frowned seeing soru’s bandaged hands. Overall the illustrations were beautiful but at the end it felt rushed. And honestly i kind of liked the detective named ashita, while it was his job to chain yato and kill him, he still felt sympathy for how yato felt towards soru.
January 23, 2024
Bueno cabe aclarar que leí el manhwa/webtoon y es de las mejores cosas que hice en el año, lamento tanto haber dejado la historia a la mitad la vez que note que habían subido los primeros capítulos. De todas, formas está vez no pude dejar de leer en ningún momento y aún sigo en shock con el final porque honestamente por más que me gustará yato como jahyeon, pensé que se quedaría con el segundo y pobre yato me lo imaginaba muerto. Pero bueno las cosas se dieron de distinta forma, que de todas formas quede conforme y triste por uno. Igual me encantan estos giros que nunca te los ves venir. Ahora hablemos de soru, mi niña merecía tener ese final donde ella pudiera ser valiente y lograr la paz que tanto merecía.
En fin, me hicieron pasar por mucho que no me alcanzaría la reseña para explicarlo.

Reviewing the Mahwa!!
Actual rating for the manhwa: 3⭐️ but the rating for the light novel shouldn’t suffer for it, hence the 4 stars.
69 Chapters (Complete)
S1: 48 Chapters (1-48)
S2: 21 Chapters (49-69)
The story:
A cursed princess had been surrounded by demons all her life and people die around her so often she is called a Ghost Princess. There is a boss demon set on devouring her but she gets an arranged marriage with a war hero who apparently shines so brightly, all the demons run away.
Drawing style:
100/10
Final Thoughts:
Unsatisfying ending to an awesome story. People say the novel is way better and if you can find it translated or can read Korean, you should give it a try.
Would I recommend this manhwa: no, but I have been recommended to read the light novel, so maybe give that one a try.
Would I read it again: no

I had a whole bunch of issues with this one. The art was gorgeous, but the main character remained a complete doormat for the entire story. This heavily exacerbated the fact that the romance, which was already painful to read, was horribly done. The so-called love interests either a) treated her terribly consistently or b) didn't have enough actual relationship development with her to have things be called a romance (and, y'know, were also murdering people left and right throughout the story - not very attractive). In summary, I would NOT recommend this to anyone. It's a train wreck with very pretty art that tries and epically fails to be either a romance or a compelling ghost story or a good palace drama. 1 star.

I've decided to drop this manhwa, but managed to skim until the ending. It is unacceptable how Soru was used and abused throughout her whole life. She could see light and hope because of Jahyun, but there was a huge misunderstanding between the two, as Jahyun's focus was to take revenge against the king. I dislike how he treated her, so it was satisfying how he suffered in the end for losing her. I also feel bad because instead of choosing to stay with the person she loves, Soru decided to stay with Yato instead to end all the chaos. It may seem that it is a happy ending, but Soru's choice was heartbreaking for me.

I've read the manhwa. I really fancy the concept revolving the love between human and supernatural being. Besides its dark ambiance, it feels so otherworldly and magical. I almost thought that Jahyeon is the male lead. Ahh, it's way better that it turns out Princess Soru ends up with the monster in human form. It's kinda tragical but beautiful in a sense. The moral story is that... don't judge someone by their appearance. And I really like that!

It's hard to properly review when English versions of Heeran Love Song are limited to fan translations—which aren't exactly known for their "moving prose." But, even with the challenges of reading between the lines, translating lines myself, and comparing notes, this light novel is definitely a gem worth the work for. I look forward to a day English-speaking fans may have the opportunity to read an official edition of this work in our own language.

Tremendo fiasco acabo de leer nunca un mahwua me había dolido tanto. Todo un desarrollo de una pareja para en los últimos capítulos separarla y darle a algunos lectores lo que querían. Por que dudo el monstruo haya sido la primera opción de la autora como protagonista. El final de ellos juntos no me molestó lo que lo hizo fue el poco desarrollo de su romance amor o como se llame que lo tenían porque amor no era. Dependecia u obsesión tal vez. En fin no me gustó nada ese webtoon.

I'm - … What a read.
Usually I read webtoons to see different takes on the tropes I love but this one was more than different. It gave me all the feels and had me awake at 5 am because I couldn't let the story go without knowing what was going to happen next. It made me angry and broke my heart at the same time. It's a story where nuance matters and is all about the gray areas.
I wish I could forget it and read it again for the first time, it was that amazing.

So, I read the manhwa version of this story instead which unfortunately ended abruptly for whatever reason. One thing that I am grateful for is that Soru had her happy ending and she came to that realisation on her own. The love story between Soru and Yato was one that I did not see coming but one that I had no option but to understand.
As for Ja Hyun...he's definitely going to live out the rest of his days in regret for being so headed.

Soru y Yato me tenían el corazón en la mano, tan feliz que tengan un final feliz.😭😭🫶
Lo mejor de todo es que a Jahyeon tuvo su karma, ya me estaba cayendo un poco mejor al final peroo yo no olvido y me alegro que haya tenido ese final.👏👏
Aparte de la historial con tremendo mensaje, que bonito fue la ilustración, simplemente maravilloso.🫰

Not bad but a bit slow for me. I liked Yato more although he barely appeared.

You know your love interest is bad when the literal king of demons who uses ( as in currently) her dead dad's corpse as a flesh suit is a better option then you

Good versus evil but overall a great take on humanity and love ❤️ what love will make us do and a lack of it leads us to become!!!

Soru doesn’t need a man she needs THERAPY.. ML was hot tho 😽
edit: now that the webtoon is finished.. probably would have enjoyed this more if the ML wasn’t in the body of her father????? literally why was that necessary
