A Tender Heart: The Story of How I Became a Duke's - Manwha Review (2019) [ENG/ESP]

ENGLISH


Greetings @theanimerealm community…


REVIEW (1).png


This week I bring you another manwha to recommend, I feel that the stories that these formats give us are very entertaining and that they should have more visualization, so that they are encouraged to take animations or dramas from them. Anyway, this time I bring you one that I liked, both in the plot (although certain points that fail or uncomfortable, but well, attractive if it is), as in the drawing, although the illustration will always be as the attractive point for me to see it (yes, I'm guilty in that), so I bring you what it is about and my opinions about it.

As for the plot…


The story begins when a young girl was reading a novel, which made her sad because the secondary character, Duke Liandro has a tragic and unfair end to everything he lived, because since he was a child he has suffered from a curse that was consuming him little by little, leading to his parents and other people to reject and isolate him. Being devastated with the end of the story, she falls asleep crying inconsolably, waking up then in a young servant of the duke's house, where the boy attacked by the curse is.

After this event, now as Evelina, she decides to help young Liandro and take care of him in order to change his destiny; as time goes by, Evelina manages not only to heal the physical wounds, but also the emotional ones she has had, creating a connection between them, which will become something more than a relationship between master and servant. Will young Liandro be able to overcome this curse and have the happy ending he deserves? What secrets are behind this curse? Will the relationship between them be possible?

Personal opinion


First of all, I want to point out that this story had at the time, many controversies because of the age difference between the protagonists and that basically it was as if the heroine had raised the husband and all, really both are 4 years apart, the curse of him, consumed him and therefore, his growth was interrupted, second, there are stories where the age is much larger and therefore, it is a story that should be seen from another thought, because it tells much more of those concerns. Now, the story is quite entertaining and the relationship between the two is not abrupt, because if it is detailed in depth, for the young man the only one who was by his side was Evelina, when everyone rejected him and, being at that stage, it was kind of obvious that he would have an attachment to her, more with the parents he is burdened with.

But, everyone will say, someone who had a nurturing role should have set boundaries. It's true, yet despite treating him like a child from the beginning, she was always attracted to this person. So much so that she wished to change his destiny. Therefore, it's possible that at first she acted out of sympathy, but little by little, as she got to know him, interacted with him, and became a more significant part of his life, the feelings she already had blossomed. For that reason, she could no longer see him as a child. She saw him as she always had: the man who suffered and who should never have had a cruel end, the one who had captured her attention. Of course, this might not look good, but she even set boundaries and tried to distance herself. Still, the connection was already there, and for him, anyone who showed him affection wasn't valid, because they only became amiable once his curse was lifted. It's not easy; very few managed to earn his trust, and that's understandable, to a certain extent.

Anyway, I think the author did not know how to explore this in a better way, maybe if she had separated from him a little earlier, and the feelings of romance couple were given after large, would not have had so much debate and negative comments for it, the story would be popular, (because as I said, the age difference is not so wide), because the illustration and themes such as compassion, overcoming and having someone who understands and accepts you as you are, managing to change the cruel fate you had, are a point really that give value to the plot. Anyway, I think this manhwa is to read it with an open mind and have a moment of entertainment.

Positive points…


-Beautiful illustration.
-Emotional story.
-The character development is deep, especially with the main characters.
-Despite the drawbacks with the romance, I feel that, it's not so rushed and they don't fall in love with each other just because.
-It speaks of healing wounds both physical and emotional, which many need today.

Negative points…


-Even with an interesting story, it is somewhat predictable, especially in the outcome of certain characters.
-Lack of complexity among its antagonists.
-A better unraveled conflict.

Score I give it…


8/10 Story │ 10/10 Art │ 8/10 Characters │ 7.5/10 Pace│ 8/10 Overall.

It may not be the best manwha, but I'm fond of it, being one of the first and of this style, regarding curses since I was a kid (because there are several like that) and that you really get fond of the main characters, so it's not a manwha that you say “whoaaa!” But it has its touch.

REVIEW.png


Esta semana les traigo otro manwha que recomendar, siento que las historias que nos entregan estos formatos son muy entretenidas y que deberían tener más visualización, para que así se animen de sacar animaciones o dramas de las mismas. En fin, en esta ocasión les traigo uno que me gustó, tanto en la trama (aunque ciertos puntos que fallan o incomoda, pero bueno, atractiva si es), como en el dibujo, aunque la ilustración siempre será como el punto atractivo para que la vea (sí, soy culpable en eso), así que las traigo de que se trata y mis opiniones al respecto.

En cuanto a la trama…


La historia comienza cuando una joven chica, se encontraba leyendo una novela, la cual la puso triste porque el personaje secundario, el Duque Liandro tiene un final trágico e injusto para todo lo que vivió, pues desde pequeño ha sufrido de una maldición que lo estaba consumiendo poco a poco, llevando a que también sus padres y demás personas lo rechacen y aíslen. Al quedar devastada con el final de la historia, se queda dormida llorando desconsoladamente, despertando entonces en una joven sirvienta de la casa del duque, misma donde esta ese niño atacado por la maldición.

Tras este suceso, ahora como Evelina, decide ayudar al joven Liandro y cuidarlo para lograr cambiar su destino; a medida que pasa el tiempo, Evelina va logrando no solo curar las heridas físicas, también emocionales que ha tenido, creando entonces una conexión entre dos, que se convertirá en algo más que una relación de maestro y sirvienta. ¿Podrá el joven Liandro superar esta maldición y tener el final feliz que merece? ¿Qué secretos habrá detrás de esta maldición? ¿La relación entre ambos será posible?

Opinión personal


Antes que nada, quiero acotar que esta historia tuvo en su momento, muchas controversias por la diferencia de edad entre los protagonista y que básicamente era como si la heroína hubiese criado al esposo y todo ello, realmente ambos se llevan son 4 año de diferencia, la maldición de él, lo consumía y por ende, su crecimiento era interrumpido, segundo, hay historias donde la edad es mucho más grande y por ende, es una historia que debería verse desde otro pensamiento, porque cuenta mucho más de esas inquietudes. Ahora bien, la historia es bastante entretenida y la relación entre ambos no siento que se de forma abrupta, pues si se detalla a profundidad, para el joven la única que estuvo a su lado fue Evelina, cuando todos lo rechazaban y, al estar en esa etapa, pues era como que algo obvio que tendría apego con ella, más con los padres que se carga.

Pero, todos dirán, alguien que ha tenido como el papel de niñera debió trazar limites, es verdad, sin embargo, a pesar de haberlo tratado como niño, desde el inicio, ella siempre estuvo atraída hacia este personaje, tanto que deseo cambiar su destino, por ende, puede que en un principio lo haya hecho por simpatía, pero poco a poco, al conocerlo, al tratarlo y ser más amena a su vida, los sentimientos que ya tenía, se afloraban y por ese motivo, ya no podía verlo como niño, ya lo veía como siempre, el hombre que sufrió y que nunca debió tener un final cruel, aquel que le había llamado la atención. Claro, esto puede que no se vea bien, pero ella incluso estableció limites e intento alejarse, aun así, ya la conexión estaba ahí y para él, todo aquel que le mostrara afecto, no le era válido, porque solo se mostraron amenos cuando su maldición fue quitada, no es fácil, solo muy pocos lograron ganarse la confianza y es entendible, hasta cierto punto.

En fin, creo que la autora no supo explorar de mejor manera esto, quizás si se hubiese separado de él un poco más temprano, y los sentimientos de romance de pareja se dieran después de grande, no habría tenido tanto debate y comentarios negativos por ello, la historia fuese popular, (pues como dije, la diferencia de edad no es tan amplia), porque la ilustración y los temas como la compasión, la superación y el tener a alguien que te entienda y te acepte como eres, logrando cambiar el destino cruel que tenías, son un punto realmente que le otorgan valor a la trama. En fin, creo que este manhwa es para leerlo con la mente abierta y tener un momento de entretenerse.

Puntos positivos…


-Ilustración hermosa.
-Historia emotiva.
-El desarrollo de los personajes es profundo, más que nada con los principales.
-A pesar de los inconvenientes con el romance, siento que, no es tan apresurado y no se enamoran de si porque sí.
-Habla de curar heridas tanto físicas como emocionales, lo que muchos necesitan hoy en día.

Puntaje que le doy…


8/10 Historia │ 10/10 Arte │ 8/10 Personajes │ 7.5/10 Ritmo│ 8/10 General

Puede que no sea el mejor manwha, pero le tengo cariño, al ser unos de los primeros y de este estilo, con respecto a las maldiciones desde pequeño (porque hay varios así) y que realmente se les toma cariño a los protagonistas, así que no es un manwha que se diga ¡whoaaa! Pero tiene su toque.

Now you’re trying to make me want to read this. 😏😏😏 I haven’t read manhwa like this before. I read “existence, demon king, ordeal,and the likes”
The only manhwa I read that had lot of action and romance in it was the where the husband was a very strong man or chi user but he was like a nobody in the family because he was married into a rich family and the lady (his wife) provide everything and at a point, he changed came out of his shell and tried to protect his wife and be a man. He was always timid. I enjoyed the story but I forgot the title and since I changed my phone, I can’t find it again
