    For Better or For Worse - Ch. 6

    @madx1 it is a far more archaic term but it's similar 1000 yard stare of emotional detachment after a situation has gotten way out of hand. off the rails is more just simply a situation getting out of hand. but in a world that doesn't have locomotives from what i can see, the phrase isn't as...

    Beatrice

    @MerriLee3s chloe is a slave but it's not an uncommon trope in korean stories because of the nation's history. western serfdom is different than eastern serfdom. you don't have to like the trope but it is what it is because of korea's history. for better or worse it was a major part of the...

    @MerriLee3s as a korean series the use of slavery is cultural. korea did have slaves and serfs that were almost chattel status slaves. during some eras, the two classes were almost indistinguishable. the raise in rank from slave-servant to mid level servant is based on the ancient korean system.

    The Lady and the Beast

    @Larkam The Lady and Her Butler, the ML is more representative of a region of Korea. In Amina of the Lamp, the setting is based on Middle Eastern culture so it's more acceptable. They're still rarities among the crowded Korean webtoon spheres and stand out because of that, but what also drives...

    The Lady and the Beast

    @jinxedneth @LaDeeDah Because the series wouldn't have survived long in Korea if the author had kept dark skinned people as main characters. Asia as a whole has a stigma against dark complexions. Dark = poor and uneducated, White = rich and educated. Centuries of the ruling class could...

    Maid no Kishi-san - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - I want to praise Kishi-san!

    @Wickedhero reader interpretation. it could be that her face is actually smiling or she may still have a stoic expression but her coworkers know how to read her and hayase can't for the life of him. this series is pretty much a classic old school comedy- the straight man and the funny man dual...

    One of a Kind Romance - Ch. 98

    The issue of stalking was never resolved to begin with. It was hinted in the series that there may be multiple perps and not just one person. The frequency of stuff happening to Mooyi throughout the series is a little much for just 1 person to pull off. Plus Mooyi's growing anxiety and panic...

    One of a Kind Romance

    @siddj It was in relation to the FL. It's a one of a kind romance for her, not the the readers lol. @savvasaam Story's still pretty early. I don't mind the pacing. It's got a lot of characters and lots of backstories to delve into and Yoo-il's own personal growth as well. I'm honestly more...

    The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes - Ch. 44

    @Ovnidemon Generic East meets West clothes yes but Korean specific no. In fact during the 'Orientalism' (ewwwww) period of Europe in the 18th/19th century, Europeans created clothing that mish mashed perceived Asian aesthetics with Western ones. Yeojin's clothes would highly also be...

    The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes - Ch. 44

    @kualipanas261 Not clothes. Appearance. Like physical looks. The easy giveaway was the braided hair just in case the readers had a hard time differentiating because people kinda look homogeneous in comics at times.
