Preliminary Spoiler
Oct 4, 2013
Despite positive initial impressions, the dark ambience and uniquely dark tone can only take you so far with an ending that drops out of nowhere like a lead balloon (don't worry, I'll spare you the gory details - AKA spoilers). Disappointment? Yes. Raging fangirls? I count myself in their numbers. Grab your torch and pitchfork, because if you have stuck with this manhwa since the beginning, you probably have a bone to pick with Lee Hyeon-Sook considering the subpar ending that was delivered. But watch your step, there are plot holes everywhere.

With a plot that does not deliver, Savage Garden strangely starts off with some ...

One of the greatest pleasures in reading Savage Garden is the eerie and mysterious ambiance it gives. Compared to the other gender benders I've read, I personally find this really unique with its darker portrayal of such genre.

Artistically, I was captivated. The characters are pretty and the settings look peaceful. It was indeed the perfect combination with such an intriguing plot.

Setting aside the fact that this was a shoujo fantasy, I find the story quite original. We have messed up characters who are living in an era where there's plenty of political intrigues and where most of their fates were already decided - and ...

At first the manga seems deep with all the main character’s self reflections and all the mysteries and love triangles in the school, however they are never fully fleshed out. In the first few chapters, I’m left confused with the almost lightning speed pacing of the story. In particular, the MC’s actions and dialogue are all over the place and it just doesn’t seem real. The multiple men around her literally look all the same as well. The story is absolutely horrible as it’s confusing and certain actions are never explained in a logical order. The writing seems all over the place and character motivations ...

It's a delightful story that is touching and colorful in every way! The story was beautiful and the art caused me to want to take on the challenge of trying to impersonate it. I know that Manhwa might be a turn off because of the usual big haired people. But no, this artist has created a new kind of art that is absolutely beautiful. But, enough about the art (although, unless you didn't notice already, I thought it was beautiful), lets go on to the consuming story. Now, if you have seen my profile, you would know that I love romance, and, although it might ...

Reading the summary, I didn't know what to expect. It could be a mediocre gender bender, or a cheesy dramatic manwha. And I think it surpassed my limited expectations. :)

For one, I'm really happy that the author makes the gender bender concept work. Although it's not like the premise is realistic, you won't be thinking it's unrealistic because the story and character behavior is well-executed. You're not working hard to suspend your disbelief; the artful execution of the manwha suspends it for you. That's really a key indicator of success for me!

To describe it, well, the feel is a little hard to describe. It's suspense ...

It took me a long time to finish this manhwa because I was dreading the day it would be over. The art is amazing, very korean style but beautiful. I'm very particular about the artwork of the manga I read, and if I don't like the art I usually don't even bother to read the manga.
So, it could be said that I was captivated by the art at first. For people like me, this manhwa is full of beautiful drawings, beautifully drawn characters and equally beautiful backgrounds. From the soft eyes of Jeremy/Gabriel, to the mere shoes she wore, it was all enchanting. Every ...
