Is this a trashy isekai, or an alcohol story just with a trashy isekai setting?

 

[kusshea]

I'm starting to see a pattern...
Welp I'm a sucker for this isekai setting so imma look into it later

This chronology feels weird to me.

Great Britain wasn't a singular nation until the early 1700s when England and Scotland were united (though it had referred to the island that they share, and the region)... and there has never actually been an emperor for Britain, though there was a British Empress of India (Victoria) in 1876 and the title was passed down the line for a while until 1948. Given that the first was an Empress, we're looking at 1901 at the earliest?

Not as well versed in Korean history, but it seems they didn't have an emperor until 1897; prior to that, they used a different title (in Korean, not just translation), far as I can tell.

Edit: Oh hey, wow. Looking at history... this is a bad time to be Korean royalty. Not as bad as living in Taishou Otome Otogibanashi though.

I find it interesting so far. I do kind of hope the MC is able to return to her original time every now and then. I always feel like it's kind of sad in these stories when girls are sent back in time but have no ability to return.

Also, So far the MC is seeming to be my liking. I always love alcoholic female MC's and this one seems a little tomboyish also.

About the whole Emperor thing: there was never any British emperor simply because the "Emperor" title [i.e. Kaiser] was bound to the continuation of the Roman Empire, which was the Holy Roman Empire [i.e. Germany], and abandoned after world war 1.

The Korean title would probably be DaeHwang ["great king" if translated to English], which just means the king has the complete sovereignty of Goryeo. We have a terminus post quem of 918 (the time the Korean Kingdom was established) and a terminus ante quem of 1897, which was the end of the kingdom of Joseon and the beginning of the "Korean Empire" under "Emperor" Gojong;

That is unless this story is a story about said "emperor" Gojong (at least his age would be fitting, he was about 22 years old when he began to strive for power officially[1873]).

However if this holds true, then he's been already married to her for over 7 years[since 1866].
It also means that her future looks grim, as she seems to be the later Myung-Sung[as she's his first wife],
who was assassinated in 1895, two years before Gojong would even become the emperor, leaving her at best with less than 20 years of life expectancy...

Hi! I'm one of the people who are working on this manhwa. I apologise for the lateness in clearing up all the confusion in regards to the emperor/king thing.

The MC's husband should be a king. The translator and I agreed to change his title to that of an emperor as we had not done sufficient research and assumed from the time period that most countries in the east had empires as opposed to kingdoms.

I apologise for all the confusion. This will be fixed in the later issues.

As always, thanks for reading and supporting this manhwa. We will do our best to research properly in our further releases!

Oh, nothing like that; I'm sorry about that longwinded ramble forcing you to do extra work. I have chronic insomnia so I usually spend the late hours studying something that catches my eye and, unfortunately, this work fell victim to it that night.

For the record, I'd like to point out that specific titles like "emperor," "king," are really pretty much on a per-country (or perhaps more accurately, per-reign-per-country), by-convention basis, often without any much logic behind it.

Spoiler

So for instance, we call the line of Emperors of Japan "Emperors", even though for most of history their "Empire" was on a single island nation, often feudally controlled—in other words, almost identical to being a "King" of the British Isles (at any given point where that was just one person, anyway)—but I presume we deem them Emperors because we were became most interested in those particular rulers of Japan, in a period of Japan being an Empire.

Crucially, when translating a title from another language (i.e. for everything not originally in English, so most rulers everywhere and throughout history) a convention tends to be established and then stuck with.

Spoiler

There's a slightly dark side to this once you start paying attention: Europe mostly has "Kings" and "Emperors", Northern Native-Americans were dubbed "Cheiftans" and "Tribal Leaders" no matter how large the countries they'd reigned over; Africa, South America, and Asia get some grab-bag mix of kings, emperors, tribal chiefs, etc—often based entirely on how impressed were with them when we translated the title.

Having said all that, in this case there's surely an established translation for whatever word is used; I'm just here to point out that that translation is as likely as not to be utter malarkey, and so it's probably not worth losing too much sleep over it.

Ah has this been dropped?

 

[amissa25]

Wow. Extremely short chapters, No-brain FL, and awkwardly drawn falling/tripping scenes...

I triple-checked the origin country icon. I'm super shocked that this is korean rather than an ancient china manhua.

I'm usually never harsh, but this is one trashy manhwa.
