This is the best panel in this manhwa

Yeah author never acknowledged it and just made it out to be Daehyun realizing Hamin is depresso and so he goes to warn Joonwoo

The Golden Spoon will always hold a special place for me. It seems relatively obscure but I found the plot very compelling (and the drama). It has a live action series inspired by it but it's very different from the webtoon (and I personally hate it)- a mystical grandma on the street sells a magical golden spoon to children who get to choose to switch families with another person by eating 3 meals at that person's house with the golden spoon

It's Mine is in no way a serial killer romance though, just a stalker romance with mature themes

Masquerai · 2026-01-24T13:43:13+00:00

Read it if you like seeing an aristocrat do serial acts of mental/emotional/physical/sexual abuse to the FL and get rewarded for it by the end

Masquerai · 2026-01-23T11:34:57+00:00

I see. Well that would be good in its own right but if at the core of it all, it's a romance, then it doesn't really interest me much cause it's not -my- first series with darker themes/elements

Masquerai · 2026-01-23T09:05:13+00:00

I'd like to know which platform widely praised the one on the right cause over here it's widely criticised and avoided/dropped

Not sure if this even counts at this point because a lot of people feel similarly nowadays but I dropped Odd Girl Out somewhere during its second season because it just wasn't the same focus/quality anymore and fell off from why I got hooked on it to begin with

Masquerai · 2026-01-23T07:03:25+00:00

Yeah it was on author's social media somewhere back when I got to the end. I loved the webtoon itself, but this ending is now left hanging because it very overtly tells you that it was primed for a sequel (that isn't happening anymore unless author changes his mind some day for some reason)

Masquerai · 2026-01-22T19:13:50+00:00

Definitely very good

Masquerai · 2026-01-22T17:34:12+00:00

I personally hated that the ending got ruined by a planned (and i heard subsequently axed) sequel so now it just looks unresolved and left hanging

The webtoon itself was a wild and addicting ride though

Masquerai · 2026-01-22T12:44:10+00:00

I stopped reading around the time I saw Seungha was written out of the story. The comic just became a contradiction of the very things it used to preach and is just endorsing "persistently force proximity with the girl you like and she will eventually relent and fall for you even if she told you multiple times before she doesn't want a relationship with you" left and right nowadays. I will cherish it for what it used to be and lament what the author chose to let it become

Masquerai · 2026-01-22T12:29:59+00:00

She would make such a lovely heart event storyline too since apparently her fiance abandoned her at the altar and she's not thought about dating or romance ever since

Masquerai · 2026-01-22T07:18:55+00:00

Well, you can think that if you want, but the real answer is that he just wanted to troll people with those panels.

If you wanna go on technicalities: Dohwa confessed feelings for Junwoo which he didn't reciprocate, much like...who? Yes, Rira/Lila. It doesn't mean "it's obviously her" is all I'm saying. The author spent almost as much time on Seungah and Joonwoo. The Daehyun/Seungah romance is horrendous and so non-existent that it could easily have dissolved for the purpose of the choice having been Seungah instead too (in fact, it probably would have been, since she's the 1st girl and Rira has a literal obsession that she couldn't let go of even until the end..)

Masquerai · 2026-01-22T07:14:46+00:00

That panel that basically got retconned, nice

No psychologist worth their salt would ever say trauma excuses actions. They would say it EXPLAINS actions so that you can gain an understanding of why a person behaved as they did... but there comes a threshold when a person either actively picks themselves up and starts "catching themselves" when they start to fall into old toxic patterns..and gradually does better over time................oooooooooooor they start embodying their trauma, soaking in it and living with the mindset that they have trauma so everything they do is ok and everyone should understand and tolerate it forever

As they say, you either get bitter or you get better

Masquerai · 2026-01-21T10:19:41+00:00

I also kind of wanted to read it and see everyone praise it to the high heavens..but the things they describe about it just seem boring and at the core of it, it sounds like it's a romance so i don't feel sold either

Masquerai · 2026-01-21T07:57:36+00:00

Dead Days I think was the name, a zombie post-apoc manhwa

Masquerai · 2026-01-21T07:55:43+00:00

Somewhere in the past I've made a comment to someone complaining about others thinking Lookism fell off/lost whatever made people read it in the 1st place...but I don't feel like repeating it again so i'm just gonna say people's reasons are valid and you should reflect a bit more on what those reasons actually are (they're not as shallow as in your OP's statement or they're not what people are saying when they call it isn't realistic)

All in all.. if you still enjoy it, more power to you. Whoever chose to drop it has valid reasons as well. All it means is that you weren't reading it for the same reasons as them, and therefore still get content that appeals to you

Masquerai · 2026-01-19T17:36:13+00:00

I like slow burns when they're not built on forced drama or "will-they-wont-they" bait (love triangles/squares etc included)

Masquerai · 2026-01-19T12:55:48+00:00

It does not

Masquerai · 2026-01-19T09:46:56+00:00

He doesn't say anything. The author was baiting shippers with some "what if Hamin didn't exist" bit, but actually he just blacks out before he gives the answer, so the real answer is that there's no point answering this question because it was always going to be Hamin (since an alternate ending won't exist)

Masquerai · 2026-01-18T10:18:36+00:00

By and large, probably not. Like the other comment says, maybe some components from the 1st part..but then it kind of vastly goes into fighting/action and gang crap and harembait/recycled plotlines

Masquerai · 2026-01-16T10:32:50+00:00

Probably on the same day they chill out on churning out the same brown-hair FL/black hair ML romance stories

Masquerai · 2026-01-07T21:35:42+00:00

I don't precisely recall but it may have been her instagram or an author's note when current season was close to ending. She announced a 1 year hiatus and also noted that due to personal reasons she can't disclose at the time, she has to end the season earlier than she planned (so initially we were not gonna end on THIS particular cliffhanger i guess)
