I’m Trapped in a Soap Opera

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I find myself transmigrated into Shin Sera’s body, the villainess in a soap opera who attempts to mu*der the female lead but ends up being tortured by the male lead. In order to survive, I decide to lay low and avoid unnecessary attention. However, it seems that my efforts have backfired.

Lee Ro-un, my rival in the succession competition, despises me. “Die unnoticed or silently suffer as if you’re dead.”

Cha Jae-eon, my fiancé who treats me as if I’m beneath him, ridicules me. “When did I say I’d stoop so low as to marry you? Do you think this situation is a joke?”

Seo Jeong-won, the cruelest character in the drama, reveals his vile desires. “Your red eyes are so captivating. I wonder how much more beautiful your tear-stained face would be.”

I planned to survive strategically, employing the cunning tactics of a villainess. However, perhaps I tried too hard.

Unexpectedly, Lee Ro-un begins to exhibit a peculiar longing. “If I give you what you want, would you go through with the marriage?”

Cha Jae-eon, albeit a little late, starts showing interest. “Wouldn’t it be better if we fulfilled our duties as fiancés from now on? That is, if you’re willing.”

Seo Jeong-won takes his obsession to new heights. “I would willingly crawl and lick the ground beneath your feet if it meant gaining your attention.”

Now, I find myself entangled with these male leads, each with their own conflicting personalities. Was it a mistake to become involved with them, considering their unpredictable nature?

3.5 ✧

*Originally 3 ✧ (around chapter 90-110)

I originally planned to give it 3 stars, since the love story was getting more and more messy, and I didn't approve of the ML chosen (the fiance was sm better) but the ending was really heart warming and made me feel good so I gave it + 0.5

... more>> There was some plot twists, and it was fun like I didn't expect that.

I really do not approve of the ML, even if he treat the FL good in the epilogue. The fiance was truly a good man (ignoring his past ab*se/ignoring the og Sera) and didn't force the FL to love him.
Spoiler

ML is Lee Ro-un

[collapse]

Apart from disapproving of the ML, I also didn't like how the og FL of the soap drama kind just disappeared for like half of the book before appearing some times and causing troubles. I felt like the author sometimes forget characters and let them slip into the background.

Now I also know that I do not like harem, especially when it end up with 2 broken hearted men with the FL and ML living HEA. FL was also pretty mean/cruel in taking care of her fishery (I swear it is a fishery) of the men and giving them somewhat false hope at the beggining and hesitating to rejectvtheir advamces firmly when her heart has already decided smh.

Returning to the OG FL, she is a white lotus/holy mother and makes me want to punch her. <<less

I found out this was getting a manhwa adaptation so I decided to binge the novel to see what was up, but ended up getting exhausted like almost halfway through 'cause there's SO MUCH emotional drama between the FL and her love interests ohh em gee. Title is NOT a lie. It's entirely the reason I read the thing so... Not complaining. It's actually kind of surprising to me, because with books with such intense titles and sypnoses there tends to be an extra unspoken-of theme that helps to pad... more>> out the romance, but in this one it seems to really just be straight-up romance most of the time, so I'll give it that, I suppose. It's just overbearing how much it all happens so quickly, and I do prefer the padded out sloow buurn, which is part of the reason why I'm removing one star.

The other reason is because, like the reviewer before me, I'm very disappointed in the endgame ML. It's clear to see who it's gonna be, which is upsetting because in terms of personality and dynamic with the FL he's the stereotypical choice. Sigh!

Spoiler

Though, all his dialogue about wanting to have monopolized control over the FL was admittedly kind of attractive to me haha... (FICTIONAL-WISE)

[collapse]

Plus, I didn't really like any of the male leads all that much anyway, so I guess I was bound to be disappointed no matter what.

FL is an okay character, she didn't really stick out to me in any way whatsoever. I don't really think this book focuses on the aspects of working in business but rather a romanticized melodramatic showcase of people who happen to work in business (hence 'soap opera' in the title) so for the goal of having a character that serves to be nothing really except for the reciever of obsessive, possessive, and destructive love, she's fine. Perfect even.

OGFL is kind of funny honestly, whenever you read from her POV she genuinely sees herself as the one in the right and it contradicts completely from what she says out loud; it's interesting.

3 stars is a good average rating for this one. It's not a groundbreaking novel but it's not awful. It's a wonderful guilty pleasure, in fact, for those with the right pleasures (me). Review is subject to change if I finish it, and I might eat my words if I actually do, but I won't know until then so. <<less
