I guess I should technically go and review the rest of the books in this series, but ehh, does anybody really care? I’m only even writing this particular book up ’cause it’s where a lot of conflict and tension between Shin vs Yul actually start happening.

Before I go too far, I should ‘fess up to liking Yul a lot more than Shin. Yul is far from being perfect himself, but I think he’s not as wishy-washy as Shin is at this point in the story. Yul even admits that because he’s had everything taken away from him, he’s even more determined to get back and value it when he didn’t before.

And yes, Chae-Kyung is among those that he’d want to get back.

The manga really goes more into the slapstick joke moments than the kdrama. I admit that SoHee Park’s sense of humor doesn’t always match my own (I’m okay with one good poop joke, but she’s really gotta stop doing that at the most inopportune moments) but sometimes, I don’t understand why the eunuch character comes back/is mentioned so often.

But barring that, another solid volume of Goong. I don’t read as much manhwa as I did several years ago, but this series continues to be at the pile of my to-read list each time a new volume is out. That’s how much I truly enjoy it.
