Into the Light, Once Again · review
Spoiler warning
This review may discuss plot details.
This manhwa was really good but the ending fumbled so hard then it was left open because side stories couldn't come out. I don't blame the artist or author but it still kinda hurts since I really enjoyed this manhwa a lot. It was one of the first manhwa's I read and it was my 2nd favorite for a while until I started reading more but even then it was still really good. If you can get over the not-so-good ending then I can recommend this because overall it is so good. I loved the trauma healing from the fl and how she slowly letgo of her grudges even though she still wanted revenge. It's like she wanted to live with her new family more so she wanted to get through with the revenge quicker just so she could live happily. I did like the male lead but the age gap was kinda weird. (He knew her as a baby) I heard that they don't get together until another life in the novel though so I'm putting it off to the side.
The art-style also really fits the stories tone in my opinion. It goes best with the family fluff as this starts off more as a childcare but the style still fits even when it gets more serious. Aisha despite what happened with the ending is still by far one of the best female leads and the villainess was also pretty good even if her goal was kinda stupid. I understand the jealousy of a child but why kill the only one who truly loved you for you without you having to manipulate her? It just didn't make sense but I still liked her plot. I was confused about the whole body swap thing? Was it a body swap situation or was it just a metaphor for how Marianne stole her place. I think a metaphor but a lot of people also think she stole her original body.
Maybe this review was written in hurt with how the manhwa turned out at the end but I want to state once more I DON'T blame the author or artist. It was far from their fault and I'm pretty sure the artist was having health issues. If that truly is the case I hope they get better and come back with more works in the future with their art style! I also hope the author comes back with more novels that get adapted into manhwa. Though, like I said, this manhwa is good with the previous chapters. It's such an enthralling story to get through and see the plot twists of. The family bonds are so cute and I felt giddy just reading through them!
This probably isn't the best written but I wanted to speak on my feelings somewhere. Thank you for reading!
