I’m so glad that the manhwa has been completed during the pandemic and I’ve read it multiple times. This was one of the best shoujo isekai manhwa that got me hooked up.
I’ll be honest it got me hooked up first because of the ML character design which I wasn’t aware until I found the Series that then good me hooked up with the story. The fact that the story has a lot of twist and turns anyone will love this series. Sadly, I wasn’t able to read the novel as I can’t get the English version of it.
Lets just focus with the Manhwa version as it was really good and I vouched it. The story goes with the Female Lead, Eunha Park who got pushed from a building after receiving a mail that she get accepted to a college. When she wakes up she becomes Raeliana MacMillan one of the character of the novel she read before she died. But the twist was that Raeliana is just a minor character that will die young in the novel and she’s like some sort of a trigger for the Original Female Lead Beatrice to return to the country and meet Duke Noah Wynknight the Male Lead.
So the big twist that the FL made was that she decides to broke up with her current fiancé Francis Brooks and then proposed a contract with the duke allowing her to be the duke’s fiancé for 6months. I won’t spoil that much to keep with the hype.
Story Wise: I’ll be honest, it was really surprising till the end with lost of plot twist as the story that Eunha knows has been different when she took over Raeliana’s body. Like other shoujo manhwa, this manhwa has its own villainess. The fact that these villainess didn’t challenge my patience makes the story remarkable. I really love how the flow of the story and how each characters developed.
Though it started off like a cliche plot like other isekai manhwa now, where they died then get isekai’d with their memories in tact. The difference was the the twist and turns in the story. I won’t put the “twist and turns” that I’ve mentioned in details as it serves a big spoiler and I want you readers to discover when you read the manhwa. There are also lots of ups and downs in the story but everything has been solved till the end of the manhwa.
Characters: If I had to rate it, they all would get 10/10. They are all good looking and as expected of shoujo manhwa guys are all good looking. Well, lets just continue talking about their development but if I could say, the chain of events that happens in the story gives time for each of the characters to improved. Each of the developments won’t be possible without the character’s help. Its like a butterfly effect that started with Raeliana then the ripples get to touch, Vivian, Noah, Adam, Justine, The king, His Holiness and Beatrice.
Realiana’s character won’t be able to grow if none of them influence her or vice versa. Adam won’t be this cute if Raeli didn’t influenced her. Or we won’t din Noah’s being possessive if not for Raeli. Well aside from the main characters, side characters also progress in a phrase that didn’t harm the others or over shadowed them. Besides, the second ML, Justine Shamall has been great throughout the manhwa. He also deserves an award to be honest.
Art: Design of each characters, the quality of the manhwa took my breath away. Each releases were of high quality and besides it even improved as the manhwa progress. Characters, set up or castle-kun(I’m honestly wasn’t bothered), it was really good. Its not that over detailed like the other manhwa with godly arts but i like how the art so far in the manhwa, it really does complements the flow of the story and I’m glad they didn’t change style or else it will really broke my heart like the other manhwa that changes art style in the middle of the series.
Side Comments: The series has an Otome game via steam but darn it doesn’t have an english version else I’ll by it the instant it has. Anyways, you can check out this link (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1564710/The_Reason_Why_Raeliana_Ended_up_at_the_Dukes_Mansion/)
And if I had to add, I really wish that they added another chapter in the ending just one more chapter will do. If you’ve read the story then you’ll understand what I felt. Damn, I wanna see what really happens after. (Crying tears of blood in the corner of the room)
