The story begins with Byeolha Kim, she was happily married with Dohyeon Lee. One day she was meeting with her bestfriend Gyeoru and she found out her best friend is pregnant and planning for a wedding with her boyfriend. Gyeoru gave the wedding invitation card to Byeolha Kim, then she realized that it's the same name as her husband. Gyeoru confessed that both are the same person, Byeolha felt devasted as she could not believe her own eyes.
In a while Byeolha was acting crazy she never had thought of divorcing Dohyeon. After that day she quit her job and grew apart from everyone else. She had spent her time like that for 3 years, until one day an earthquake took place and Byeolha died in that accident. She found herself inside a dark romance novel where she has the same destiny as she did in real life. Byeolha is now playing the role of Rose who is married to Count Eric.
In the novel Eric also cheated on Rose, when she became rose she realized how miserable life rose had to lead and now she has to face it again. Not only that her bestfriend who betrayed her she also got incarnated in the body of a maid Doanna, who is the one stole Eric from Rose. Rose decided to change her fate as she does not want to lead a miserable life as before.
The story is pretty interesting, I really do not like cheaters and I do not enjoy reading cheaters related manhwa but in this manhwa it's very different. The female protagonist does not decide to stay in the abusive toxic relationship rather in her second life she decided to change her fate. She's working on herself, I have seen a quick character development in her. She have learnt her mistakes and hopefully won't repeat the past mistakes.
I want her to take revenge on her husband who cheated on her, also her ex bestfriend who betrayed her twice. I really want Doanna to suffer and I not only hate her character but also the cheater husband. I think both are the faults, like why stay in a relationship of you're not happy? What's the point of cheating? I really do not understand this kind of people. I hope Rose can make both Eric and Doanna suffer, they must be punished for their lust.
The name of the manhwa is "My Husband Was Stolen Twice" the name does match with the situation but I feel it can't be stolen which was never yours. No matter how tempting the other person might be they can't be stolen if they are loyal. I think the name should be "My Cheater Husband" haha I think this sounds better to me.
The character I have disliked the most is Doanna/Gyeoru because of her acting as a close friend but in the end she backstabbed her. She likes to take what belongs to others, I would say she likes to take leftovers. So, I just want to see her in a miserable state. I want her to be humiliated for running after someone else's partner. I think the author has done great job on making us hate on this specific character. It's written so well, that you will end up hating.
I like how positive is Rose/Byeolha at first she ran away from her problems, she couldn't not accept that her husband and bestfriend betrayed her. But now she's got the faith that she will not lead the same life as she did before. She wants to do better, I want her to end up with a better partner who truly would admire her. But even she knows what happens in the novel and still decided to forge her own path so it also might be dangerous. I just hope that things will go as she wants to.
The artstyle and colorings are definitely good, even though it's a new manhwa I can already see how good it's going to be. The expressions are on point, I love it. There are currently 15 chapters, it's ongoing and I am definitely gonna keep a track on it. What I would like more is if the count Eric stays in love with Rose and Doanna gets betrayed by Eric, also Rose will never think of Eric and move forward with someone else.
In my point of view this type of manhwa is going be a good choice if you are eager to read a manhwa with a good plot and storytelling. This manhwa got me hooked with it because of the strong female protagonist and for that reason I truly enjoyed reading it.
