Honestly, it's a throwaway manhwa that you can read if you want a light read that's not too interesting, but not boring either. The MC deals with lots of problems and it really makes you appreciate the role of a manager. They kinda have to be a jack of all trades when dealing with all sorts of aspects related to the entertainment industry, and they also need a good intuition to survive in the industry. So throughout the manhwa we see our MC deal with problem after problem after problem every 2 or 3 chapters. Everything gets solved quickly because he's competent and it's nice
...
to have different challenges to think about every few episodes, it keeps things fresh and interesting.
Sometimes some of the stuff the MC says and his actions really resonate with me. Here's my favorite conversation from the manhwa:
"You seem fearless sometimes, but I guess you weren't when you should've been." (one of the actresses the MC manages and future love interest)
"I'm a pacifist." (MC)
"You practically forced an agency CEO to retire and that's all you have to say?" (actress)
"That was completely different. You could've been buried so I had to be fearless." (MC)
It's hard not to be charmed by his personality. It's a bit cheesy, sure, but he backs up his words with his actions.

Nothing makes sense. I waited 103 chapters for the misunderstandings to be cleared up but the pay off wasn't there. Her father didn't have a reason to pretend not to love her, and throughout the series he acted surprised when his daughter acted awkward around him and told him she knew he didn't love her. He gave her a dagger when he sent her into the dungeons, however that dagger wouldn't protect her from anyone, it made no sense giving it to her unless he wanted her to take her own life. Except when she did, he was surprised and acted like a tragic hero.
...
Not only that, but his daughter spent like 5 minutes in the dungeon before the Crown Prince got there, which means that she REALLY didn't need the dagger at all. Her father also sealed her memories so that she wouldn't be traumatized, and then proceeded to traumatize her throughout her entire life by NEVER being there when she needed him. He even skipped her debutante ball.
The worst part is that this shitty father is loved by the people who read this manhwa. Why? He could've avoided making the FL suffer if he was more open with her, but instead he went out of his way to traumatize her. Then there's his way of raising the Crown Prince (ML). The late Empress entrusted her child to him, yet he didn't spare him even a bit of love or compassion. He was very harsh raising him, and then he was surprised that the ML grew up to be cold blooded and viewed as a psychopathic tyrant by the people. He always showed how much he loved his daughter in front of the ML and talked about her non-stop, yet he hid it from his daughter. Was he just trying to show off to a child starved for love? The ML was already busy trying to avoid assassination attempts made by the new Empress and his own father, just to have this asshole of a teacher treat him as dirt and show off his affection for his daughter at every opportunity.
It's insane how everyone loves and forgives this piece of trash. He could've ran away with his wife and daughter, yet for some reason he chose to stay and enter a contract with the Emperor, just to have the Emperor break the contract. And it never gets explained in detail why he entered the contract. It just gets glossed over as "he did it to protect his wife and daughter", when the contract doesn't protect them AT ALL. It just doesn't make sense. Fuck this guy.

I really liked this donghua. It has a refreshing world building for a post-apocalyptic story. The world is shrouded in mysteries, giant corporations and bodies of government are vying for supremacy, and all of that has nothing to do with our MC, yet he still ends up involved in all of this stuff. Plus, as a refugee he has to protect himself and his family from the dangers of the environment, which include not only mutated monsters, but also acid rain, diseases, volcanic explosions, earthquakes, among others. Him not being a wimp in the face of all of these adversities is welcome too. When he
...
sees his younger brother complaining about the people and the world he tells him "Don't let the misery of the times you live in become your own misery" and I'd say that's a very good mindset to have when you're trying to survive and protect what's precious to you in a harsh unforgiving environment.
The first season of the donghua covers around 100 chapters of the novel, and it has more of a thriller feeling to it. The MC is hired as a guide to lead a team of security guards and a singer plus her agent through a forest of mutated beasts. It's pretty funny to watch how the people he's leading disappear one by one and how everyone freaks out in the face of the unknown while the MC is chilling since he was forced into being a guide. It's during the voyage that the MC initially becomes involved with the big players (corporations/government officials) so the story kinda really only starts at the end of the season.
Still, it's worth watching this one. MC's charm, charisma, and sense of humor easily carries the series. Plus, when he takes things seriously he's really badass. And his shamelessness knows no bounds.

This is just straight up garbage. It's an incredibly cliché story, the humor always falls flat, and the pages/panels feel insanely disorganized and confusing at times. Plus some chapters are interrupted by stupid "extra chapters" right when the story starts getting interesting, however because of the interruption you end up losing all the interest. The art is also just about average and the plot is rushed.
I dropped it after chapter 19 because it was obvious that the author was struggling for ideas to come up with a shitty cliché plot like the one they did. Seriously, it's worse than a telenovela/soap opera plot. It's fucking
...
disgusting.
Anyway, this was a waste of freaking time.

The FL in this story is pretty damn useless. For the most part, her 2nd try at life was just marginally better than her first go at it. At least for the vast majority of the series. She literally tried to destroy her own life countless times, even though all of her problems could've been dealt with with a simple phone recording of a conversation, or her confiding into her reliable second half.
Anyway, this is a truly frustrating manhwa that I only finished because of the pity I felt towards the ML. The amazing part is that the author of this crap gaslit the readers
...
that the ML was in the wrong for hurting the FL, when she was the one who stabbed him in the heart and took his feelings lightly for nearly the entirety of the series.

Uhh, so the MC in this one is a mediocre dude with no talent for martial arts. He has a cheat where when he eats monster meat he accumulates energy and can go up in realms that way. Even though he's hard working and probably has more practical experience than his peers he can barely occasionally fight above his realm, but not really. Let's say he's in the 3rd level, he can at most fight peak 3rd level but it's not guaranteed. As for multiple opponents, there's no way. Also, even though he often dreams about his past life in which he was a genius
...
scientist in a sci-fi world, he's really fucking stupid. And I mean REALLY FUCKING STUPID. He constantly thinks about how to not leave evidence that he was the one who killed someone and how to not implicate his friends/sect, however the precautions he takes are literally what exposes him. Leaving the corpses alone would be better than what he does. It's as if he's intentionally asking to be found out.
Aditionally, the animations are trash, the choreography is trash, the music is worse than trash (it'll put you to sleep), there's no plot at all (we don't know why everyone is fighting, it never ever gets mentioned and we're just supposed to accept that the factions are killing each other just for the sake of it), the power levels don't get explained at all, the environmnet and the world in general look like bland asset generated items (it's as if the animators intentionally picked the ugliest grayest and dustiest looking assets and randomly put them everywhere), and the prettiest girl/character in the donghua is MC's biological sister and it's not even close.
So yeah, it's a complete waste of time.

I can't believe this has no reviews as of 51 released chapters. It's honestly peak and I'm only giving it a 9/10 because it's still ongoing and there are still many ways to fuck it up.
Anyway, this manhwa has very good humor. Most jokes are honestly unexpected and will almost certainly make you laugh out loud. This humor contrasts with the darkness of the world building, and it doesn't take anything away from it.
The story is very immersive from the very first chapter, and as the chapters go on it kind of naturally builds up to something bigger and bigger and bigger, and this is
...
what keeps you engaged. Every chapter, even one that's mostly slice-of-life, feels like is serves a purpose in the grand scheme of things and to build up the next adventure of the leads. And whenever a side-character gets a proper introduction (meaning they're not just a background character), they're always interesting in one way or another.
Honestly, I can't praise thing manhwa enough. People could criticize it for being similar to Dandandan, which would be fair, however it's still fundamentally different. While in Dandandan the entire tone of the manga is purposefully ridiculous, in Legend of Dangun the general tone of the manga is serious, but it's some of the characters that act in ridiculous ways and make you laugh, and there are some characters that are always serious which keeps the tension up.
Definitely worth reading. It's honestly pretty refreshing to read something with peak world building and peak humor. Can hardly imagine someone reading this and thinking that they've wasted their time.

I gave it a fair try but I couldn't quite get to like the female lead, and if I don't like her after 1/3 of the manhwa, then I probably never will.
She was a pretty terrible person in her previous life and she isolated herself and pushed everyone that tried to care for her away, and then she went ahead and cheated on her husband because she was lonely. When her poor husband died on the battlefield after a conspiracy, she got exiled from the territory for being a cheater, which is honestly deserved, and her lover who was manipulating her also abandoned her. She
...
ended up homeless and in extreme poverty, and at the death's door she expressed to God that she didn't want her life to end this way and thus somehow regressed.
Now you would assume that upon her regression she would change her ways, but not really. Her personality didn't change much, she just lost her immaturity and extreme spending habits. Because she was a cheating bitch she accused the count of cheating on her and kept at it for like 2 dozen chapters, even though the count is literally the most inexperienced virgin in the freaking Kingdom and it's super obvious. She never felt remorse for cheating on her loyal husband in her past life, and kept misconstruing most of his actions as "evil" for a couple dozen chapters, even when everyone around her was telling her otherwise.
That's my problem. While her circumstances in her first life were unfortunate, she kept ruining her life over and over and over. But overall I'd say that she deserved to die a miserable and lonely death. If she was a side-character in a different novel that met such an end I wouldn't even blink an eye. But now I'm supposed to cheer for this girl who didn't even change that much after all the suffering she went through?
The other thing is that 95% of the male cast end up falling for her. Even the piece of shit prince that only ever manipulates people and is her husband's killer in the 1st life falls in love with her after meeting her briefly twice. And keep in mind that she didn't even interact with him that much, she only politely rejected his weird advances.
Finally, the worst thing is the community reading this crap. I saw countless comments saying that her cheating was fine because she was lonely in her first life. Like, seriously? Her husband tried to reach out but she was downright neurotic around him and kept pushing him away when he never as much as raised his voice against her. She was lonely because she wanted to be lonely! How is it okay to cheat because of that!?
Anyway, that's my problem with this one. I don't understand how it's so highly rated, especially on forums like Reddit. I only ever hear praise about this one. It's insane.

This manwha is pretty decent.
The main character goes back in time after his death and gets an extra ability from the King of Hell to help him in his second life. He's involved in judicial cases from the very moment of his regression, which happens to be the 2nd grade of middle school. I found the chapters where he helped people without even being a lawyer very entertaining because he found legal ways to assist them thanks to his extensive knowledge of the Law, legal procedures, and loopholes.
Another satisfying aspect is the fact that the legal cases just keep coming from pretty much the
...
second chapter without ever stopping, in rapid-fire succession. The cases the protagonist works on are almost always meaningful too, and he really goes out of his way to help people.
The translation that's commonly available online is also very good, and the translator frequently explains Korean legal terms allowing any reader to understand what's going on at any given moment.
It's a 7/10 though because the manhwa lacks 'soul', in my opinion. While it's nice to have dozens upon dozens of cases to entertain the readers, I feel like the more nuanced stuff like character development, relationship development, and relationship maintenance are lacking. It's kinda implied that all of the above happens off-screen but it ends up making the characters feel inhuman, in the sense that supposed friends and potential lover only contact the MC when they need his service, even though said friends/lover barely appear in dozens of chapters.
This is a problem with all manhwa that focus on stuff like career progression and/or office politics, though. They often go for telling instead of showing, which is insane to me considering that the medium of story telling is a comic. For example, they'll only show a career woman working in all the chapters she appears in, however occasionally they'll mention that she has 2 kids at home and is a single mother. Why not give her and the kids some panel space instead of mentioning this off-handedly? Heck, if the author really wants to he can just show her working at home while her kids are doing something in the background. The vast majority of the readers will not even remember this about her character in a few chapters and just think of her as a robotic workaholic.

I have been reading manhua, reading novels and webnovels about cultivation and martial arts, and watching various donghuas for many years now; to put it bluntly I've been hooked on the genre ever since I picked up my first cultivation manhua. One of my complaints with 99.9% of the series of this genre is that the romance sucks so much that I'd rather the author just skip it all together. Usually the MC either has intercourse with some random beauty because of an aphrodisiac while she's hurt/being chased by enemies; or/and the female is simply irrelevant to the story only serving as a burden to
...
the MC; or/and the female's actions are of no relevance to the story whatsoever.
Zhu Xian is quite literally driven by the romance between the characters. So much so that I believe that season 1 mostly serves as foreshadowing for the complicated problems and romantic drama of season 2. Seriously, it's so heart-wrenchingly depressing, from the soundtrack to the interactions between the characters, that I felt my heart go into my throat and my eyes tear up. Everything that happened wasn't overly melodramatic and made perfect sense with all the set up of the world setting we got in season 1. This was quite literally peak xianxia romance, and was way better than 90% of series (manga and manhwa included) that completely focus on romance and nothing else.
The overarching main plot didn't progress quite as fast as I expected it to for 26 episodes worth of time, but it was definitely interesting and continued to build on the mysteriousness of the world that we got to experience in season 1.
And as for the action scenes and animations, they were probably the very cream of the crop of donghua. I genuinely got goosebumps. Especially during the second half of the season. Seriously, they got progressively better throughout the season and peaked in the last 2 episodes in a very dramatic fight that was a result of an unfortunate but very understandable misunderstanding...
Overall, if you want to watch a donghua then I couldn't recommend Zhu Xian more, especially this 2nd season. The translation generally found on the free streaming sites isn't that bad, if anything it's above average. However, I would recommend torrenting the episodes with the translation from [Hall_of_C] as it's more consistent and as of 02/11/2024 they have released 22/26 episodes with their translation.
