Pig Bride has a premise I have never read before. This manhwa was ridiculously hilarious around the first two chapters and anytime they flash backed to children, but after that the story's momentum dulled to me. I was so impatient to see Mu-Yeon's true face, but the manhwa author drug that reveal to the last possible moment. It was even longer before Si-Joon saw her. The wait to see Mu-Yeon's face might irk you or hold your interest until the end as intended. There is a strong theme of reincarnation and a mystery dream, that doesn't take long to decipher.
CHARACTERS:
Ji-oh is my favorite. He's level-headed, smart, and a deadpan snarker. If he hadn't been in this manHwa it would have been less enjoyable. He helped speed up the plot by dropping truth bombs and causing Si-Joon to rethink his feelings. He is the funniest one in the entire story.
My next favorite character would be Mu-Hwa, the ninja-like sister, who doesn't talk. She is so pretty! I wish her and Mu-Yeon could've switched faces.
Si-Joon is okay. You could argue he is a bit of a flat character, but he's likable enough.
Doe-Doe teeters on the line of annoying to interesting. She comes off as the cutesy, sweet girl but is actually aggressive enough in nature to pimp slap some girls to back off her man. I don't like or dislike her, it just feels like she was there to fulfill the love rival role. The good thing is toward the end her character matures. I suppose the "most character development" award goes to her.
I found Mu-Yeon's innocence funny. She is a cute character! In the final chapter, she's so cheeky.
ART:
I am neutral with the art style. It is a bit off at times with far apart eyes, clothes being too big, or full body scales. However, it is sufficient for whatever it needed to convey.
OVERALL:
It is a nice enough story to give it a try. If it holds your interest past the first few chapters and you don't get too eager to see Mu-Yeon's face then you might like this manhwa. The enjoyment I had in the beginning returned in the ending chapter. Although, I would have liked to see more of their futures. There were some loose ends, so it could be considered lackluster.
SN: The 'special CD' given to Si-Joon made me burst out laughing!
