Recently have been rly into historical manhwa and have fallen in love with Taming the tiger. It gave me a dynamic that I haven’t seen in a while in these historical stories. The utter love and yearning these two have for each other had me blushing and giggling like a little child. The way they express themselves to each other is utterly beautiful and I hope to find a love as strong as theirs.
I’ve found with a lot of historical manhwa, the plot is defined by a lot of rapey storylines. I appreciated how both characters genuinely were in love with each other.
I loved the commentary on social class. The lord uses his privilege to help his lover, while also grappling with how much power he has over him as his lord. I appreciated also the inclusion of a POC. (In my head cannon Beom is black)
The smut of this is also just incredible as they explore various power dynamics. The smut feels necessary to the story as it shows how they interact with each other outside of societal expectations.
The ending was bittersweet and souls crushing in the best way. Would recommend this to anyone who needs a good crying sesh lol.
