악녀는 모래시계를 되돌린다 1 [Agnyeo'neun Moraesi'gye'reul Dwedollinda 1] by Ant Studio

5.0

Lady Aria gets betrayed and beheaded by her sister but a mysterious hourglass has given her a second chance at life and she is determined to be the one doing the beheading this time.

Lady Aria isn’t a hero, nor a tragic heroine. She’s a greedy bitch who got done in by a greedier bitch. So I wasn’t initially rooting for her when she got a second chance at life. But as she lives her second life with the wisdom of her first we see her take real initiative and hone her intelligence. She becomes a strong, witty woman fighting for her independence. And while she’s pretending to be a good person she’s slowly realizing how little she thought of herself. A part of her has always believed the rumors of her ill-temper and unworthiness. But now that she’s taken the reigns of her own narrative she is finding new parts of her that can feel love and compassion.

In summation Aria is a kickass character with wits, beauty and an untapped potential she’s just beginning to see. With a romance with the mysterious Asher bubbling just below the surface of this political battleground for power, I cannot wait to see where this story goes.
