To be honest, I don't know why this title has such high ratings. I can understand that someone who is just starting their adventure with manhwa might like it. However, for regular readers of Asian comics, it's hard to find a more clichéd story. To name a few overused themes: *the main character went back in time after her death; *before she went back in time, she realised that the main character didn't think as badly of her as she thought; *corrupt church.exe *the main character was actually the real saint all along #WhoWouldHaveThought.xD Don't get me wrong, I myself believe that certain themes are repeated in different titles becausethey work, so it's all a matter of how authors use such plots. Unfortunately, they are poorly used here. Take, for example, the corrupt church. Everyone behaves in such an exaggerated manner that the only thing missing after the ominous laughter is a scene of twirling a moustache to tick off all the characteristics of a cartoon villain from children's fairy tales. The problem, however, is that this manhwa is definitely not for children, as it does not shy away from brutality, often unnecessary. This brings me to another thing I have a problem with in this title, namely the characters. The group of more important characters in Saving My Sweetheart are the so-called wings who serve the saint. As I mentioned earlier, we have a fake saint and a real one, and some of these wings start out on the wrong side of the fence, but then switch to the right side. And everything seems fine and dandy, but I find it hard to ignore the fact that some of them had no problem behaving immorally when they were on the wrong side. What's more, the manhwa doesn't criticise this later on (as far as I remember), blaming everything on a false saint and justifying the evil deeds of a particular faction with loyalty, which is shown here in a typically Far Eastern way that romanticises blind obedience. There are more scenes where theoretically positive characters behave in a questionable manner, and in itself this would not be a problem because no one is perfect, except that the reader sees it, but the manhwa seems to have more of an approach that good is not what is good, but what the character we consider positive does, and that seems to be a bit insulting to the reader's intelligence. Of course, there are also characters who have nothing serious on their conscience, but they are mostly either naive, stupid, or mentally ill (and I'm not even joking here), or boring, and this includes the main couple, where he suffers from the latter, along with the personality of a soggy cardboard box, and she should be getting commission from dentists, because she is so saccharine that just reading about her will give you tooth decay. Actually, in this huge cast, I honestly liked only one character, who is simply too well written for the mediocrity of the story in which he appears, and I would probably be less bothered by things here if he were the object of the main character's affection (by the way, the randomness of the pairing and the lack of chemistry between them is another problem). There is also too much narration for a comic book format. As for the artwork, on the one hand it is decent, but on the other hand, the design of some things breaks the immersion. For example, we have a kingdom located in the desert, and the style of clothing worn there could be worn by colonisers who came from colder lands, because no one can convince me that they started dressing so impractically on their own. Although this is just nitpicking, I wouldn't care so much if the story was engaging, but unfortunately it isn't. To sum up, Saving My Sweetheart is a weak title with a plot that you've probably seen somewhere else, probably done better, and with unlikable or boring characters. However, perhaps it shouldn't be dismissed by someone who is just starting their adventure with manhwa, and such people may give it a chance, but I advise others against it, it's a waste of your time, 2/10.
