Review
Father, I Don’t Want this Marriage is another transmigration/regressed manhwa that did it right! I remember seeing this manhwa last 2023 but it was still ongoing at that time so I decided to get back to it once it’s finished! And as expected, it took me quite a while lol. But oh well, better late than never right, *wink.
Father, I Don’t Want this Marriage is a story of a modern Korean woman who transmigrated into the body of the story’s pitiful villainess. After waking up in her body, she worked hard to change the ending wherein the villainess died. While doing so, she found herself confused because the father who was supposed to be cold to the villainess in the story suddenly shows concern and love for her. Did she successfully get rid of her death flag ending this time?
As you can see in my rating above, I ended up loving this manhwa so much! I was actually surprised because I read a few of its chapters before so that already gave me a hint on how this story will go. I guess it was thanks to the amazing story telling plus those informative and usually funny extras each chapter, hehehe.
There’s a lot of plot twists in this manhwa which left me baffled, so I really can’t wait for you to experience it too. This manhwa also didn’t focus on the FL’s villainess past which is understandable because of her circumstances, but you can’t hear any complaints from me because this manhwa gave me some funny banter between the characters, cute graphics and satisfying love not just romantically but also love between family and friends.
As for the characters, aside from the antagonists, I LOVE everyone! The main characters were very likeable while the side characters were chaotic, wahahaha. I love seeing the FL’s growth throughout the story. Her character design looks like a damsel in distress waiting for her prince, but you’ll be surprised by her courage. You can see her struggling one moment then a minute later you’ll be surprised how she stands her ground and fights. I love that she didn’t just sit around despite being told so by her father and lover, but she ended up rolling her sleeves to help. Also, I really love how cute and at the same time lovely she is. Her character design is chef kisses especially in her childhood.
The ML on the other hand surprised me. His character design looks like a tough guy, so I was really expecting a haughty character to pair it up with. But surprise surprise, this black cat of an ML is equally cute and charming, lol. He always says that about himself, especially at times when he is trying to charm the FL to score points, but he really does look cute and charming at times, lol. I love that he listens so well to FL and is not afraid to cry and kneel just to keep her. He is also very straightforward and has a strong mental health despite his tough childhood. I am really glad that he’s a very good ML considering that red flag MLs are quite a fad these days, lol.
Ofcourse I need to mention the father since he’s basically the second ML of this manhwa, lol. Legis (Juvelle’s father) is probably the most loved character in this manhwa and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s most loved even compared to the main characters lol. I believe it was mostly because of his good looks since he looks perfect. I know that there’s no such thing as perfect, but this dude was the exception (believe me, lol). As for me, I didn’t become a fan instantly. I didn’t like how he treated the FL in the past timeline. That’s why I am probably one of the few that loves the main character more than Legis, lol. But as I read further, I started to understand his character. I didn’t like his method, but it’s so hard not to cheer for him because his life is somewhat tragic, huhuhu. I don’t want to say more because I might end up spoiling you guys, so I’ll just stop here, hihi.
The side characters were also very fun to read because they all have unique traits that make it easy to get familiarized and relate to. I believe the side characters equally made this manhwa enjoyable.
And lastly, the villains. They really played their roles so well because I keep on burying them alive in my head everytime they appear lol. I’m glad they all got what they deserve in the end.
Btw, this manhwa has many misunderstandings particularly in the first season, which I surprisingly enjoyed lol. I usually hate misunderstanding elements in my story, but this one was surprisingly amusing, lol. It may seem annoying at first, but it’s so hard to resist their funny POVs and facial expressions, lol, so in the end, I have no choice but to enjoy it, wahahaha.
Speaking of facial expressions, I absolutely love the art. The character design fits all the characters perfectly and the creator also makes sure that everything looks stunning however small of a detail we think it may be. Even those dark scenes look gorgeous! I particularly love the dresses. I believe this manhwa is top tier when it comes to dresses and suits. ALL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. I also love the animal representation of the main characters which appears quite a lot in the story making it more fun and cute for me. I love it so much!
Just like most manhwas, this also has side stories and I love it so much. Uwaaaahhh, it was so good! There’s even some mature chapters which look really good. This manhwa is actually R16 but mind you, those mature chapters (yep, not just one hehehe) doesn’t look lewd at all. Believe me, it was perfection! Aside from the main character’s side story, we also got Legis and Amelia (Juvelle’s mother) chapters in the side story. Although I would also like to see Riche (ML’s sister) and Victor’s chapters in the side story assuming I’m not just the only one thinking that the two of them ended up together, but that final side story I believe was the perfect ending. Huhuhu, it was a happy ending but a bit bittersweet for Legis.
Pheew, that was quite long, wahahaha. I hope my review above convinced you to try this manhwa out because it’s really good. Have fun!
