   The beginning was alright; it was quite sweet before the male lead revealed his true nature. It started to get worse, especially the female lead's personality. One moment she was clear-headed, the next she was foolish and childish; one moment she was polite, the next she was rude—like an emotionally unstable brat. Even the Empress Dowager's change later on seemed inexplicable.

   The beginning was pretty good, especially the middle part, which was really enjoyable. But after they started revealing the female lead's true identity, it became incredibly far-fetched. The plot didn't hold up to scrutiny at all; it felt like it was all made up, and it wasn't very engaging. The female lead even acted a bit out of character. Overall, it was alright.

   Overall, it felt a bit mediocre, not quite reaching its full potential. I quite liked the theme and the character setup. However, from the wedding onwards, it felt like the main villains were causing trouble, but the female lead didn't react much. It was like a bunch of mosquitoes buzzing around, which she ignored, becoming a bit annoying and diluting the romance. The romance itself could have been better.

   Although it's wrapped in absurd humor and the female lead's self-deception, she's essentially always in an exploited position, while the male lead enjoys himself from beginning to end, which I simply can't accept. I also dislike this kind of male lead; he almost never considers the female lead's feelings, only caring about his own. Even after being "reminded" by the female lead and starting to improve, he never makes any effort to atone for his past exploitation of her. The only redeeming quality is that some of the comedic moments are genuinely funny. The last paragraph in the synopsis never appeared.

    The beginning was quite good, but it became completely padded from the middle onwards, with too many unnecessary and forced plot points.

The more I watched, the more I began to wonder if the villain was actually the male lead. Why were there so many repetitive and repetitive lines? It was so boring.

Its only advantage is its short length.

There were many similar situations where things were left unresolved and unexplained. The male lead said nothing, leaving everything to the female lead to guess or rely on third-party information. Furthermore, he acted independently and never listened to the female lead. The female lead complained that he wasn't willing to share her hardships, but later she became more involved; the male lead didn't change. Next time there's a problem, he'll definitely remain silent again. Despite numerous conflicts and difficulties between them, everything seemed to pass by in a daze, leaving the show feeling confusing.

    The writing is decent, but the male lead is terrible. He treats the female lead like a hunter treats its prey from beginning to end—only manipulating, controlling, and exploiting her. From the beginning, after he ascends the throne, the female lead lives in constant fear and suffers repeated harm. Frankly, there's practically no plot showing him being kind to her. He isn't punished for the (direct or indirect) harm he caused her in the end. The female lead, on the other hand, is quite nice, but she suddenly falls for him at the very end, which is very inexplicable.

    The writing is alright, and the plot points are quite interesting. However, the portrayal of the emotional shift between the male and female leads is not detailed enough and feels a bit too bland. Areas where the emotions should be intense are not effectively depicted. Furthermore, the latter half doesn't seem to explore the characters' inner thoughts much; it focuses more on physical interactions and indirect descriptions like online comments, making the later parts somewhat boring. Ultimately, the writing style is quite weak.

    The main couple is alright, but the side couple, the older sister and the younger brother, is absolutely terrible. That younger brother is completely useless and can't give his sister anything. The older sister's attraction to him is inexplicable, and she ends up acting as both mother and older sister. She's usually a very clear-headed and independent person, but she becomes completely illogical around the male lead's younger brother. Actually, the romance between the main couple isn't particularly well-written either, it's just not that obvious.

    It's not badly written; the interactions and psychology between the two characters are quite realistic and down-to-earth. However, the type of couple and their relationship isn't my cup of tea. The male lead is a real jerk, incredibly sarcastic and obnoxious—the kind of person I couldn't stand for even a day, haha.

    It's not great, but it's short enough that there isn't much dragging plot. The male lead is overly arrogant at first, but he improves later, though the change isn't handled particularly well. Overall, it's alright.

    Curator note

    The premise is relatively novel, combining fantasy with a power struggle for succession. The romance is rather average; the male lead has an avoidant personality, but even late in the story, his constant avoidance becomes a bit annoying. Overall, it's alright, neither particularly good nor bad. However, the pacing of the entire story feels a bit too slow, especially from a revenge perspective. The progress is too slow, and the enemy's death feels rather unconvincing, lacking any sense of satisfying revenge. The male lead's leg never fully healed, only recovering through his bloodline power.

    Although the title is "After Being Possessed by the Love Curse," the poison doesn't actually manifest until the very last few chapters.

    110. It's alright, the romance is slow-paced and progresses very slowly. The male lead's true identity isn't revealed until very late in the book, meaning he fooled the female lead for almost the entire time. The female lead is incredibly dense, acting like an idiot in front of the male lead, full of obvious flaws, less than a sieve. After the male lead's identity is revealed, the female lead gets angry for a moment. And then it's a happy ending...
