(Marked with the "spoiler" tag just in case)
Okay, where do I even start? I honestly have a lot to say about this manhwa, which includes both positive and negative things.
-----
Basic plot: Girl gets her body swapped into another person's and lives in a completely different environment. Instantly falls in love with a male lead that obsesses over her. Pretty generic. Nothing out of this world.
However, since romance is such a huge part of the story, there is something I must say about the couple:
...
Let's talk about the male lead. Typical handsome, muscular, tall guy in a position of power. Everything seems fine about this guy at first. He tries his best to help the female lead with her weight loss journey, by helping her with her meal plans, exercising, etc. There was a lot of potential at the beginning. However, as time went on, we started to see the male lead become more obsessive and controlling. For example, he literally threatens to kill or harm any guy who spends time with the female lead. He even hung one of his assistants upside down with a rope just because he spent time with the female lead (a dangerous hazard!). It almost seems like its considered "normal" or "hot" in this manhwa, which makes it honestly weird. To be quite honest, the dynamic between the couple really isn't that great. Toxic, even.
One thing that was also frustrating is how this manhwa thinks it's considered "normal" for girls to not exercise at all. For example, we are introduced to a character who has a stunning figure, but claims that she doesn't exercise at all. The female lead also claims that she has never even exercised before, and doesn't even know HOW to exercise. It was also mentioned at some point that most of the girls don't even exercise. I don't think I have to say much about that. Is that normal? Don't think so.
-----
Let's also talk about the art. It's infuriating at times. We see the female lead actively trying to lose weight starting at the beginning of the story. But how come in every panel she seems to have a different size? Sometimes she looks chubby, sometimes she looks skinny, etc. It's like her weight fluctuates. They weren't able to keep the appearances of the characters consistent. Not to mention in most of the panels the female lead doesn't look as obese as the story tells us she is (more-so after the first few chapters). What are the beauty standards these days? If a normal-looking girl is forced to eat only salads everyday, is forced to always avoid desserts, AND is forced to do a heavy weight-loss workout daily, what really is "normal" in society's eyes?
The art is also pretty mid other than that. The character designs are extremely generic, and the outfits don't look that good either. One of the outfits doesn't even make sense. Who the heck works out in clothes with jewels and silver chains on them? Wtf?
-----
The good thing about this manhwa is the comedy. This manhwa has its wholesome and funny moments, and it will definitely make the reader smile and giggle at times. Other than the times that the male lead is being controlling and toxic, the dynamic between the characters (especially the female lead and her brother) can be pretty entertaining.
-----
If the above issues did not bother you that much (though it would certainly bother some people), I would definitely recommend it just for the fun.
-----
TLDR: In terms of the story and art, it's pretty mid. It can be a fun read though.
-----
Overall: 6/10
