Sorry but there is an amendment to the ex-husband name. Previously I followed the Hiragana phonetic "KITSUBEI". Anyway officially his name is read "KIPPEI" as seen in this chapter's Wedding Invite Card. I have amended the rest of the previous chapters.

It's a funny mixture of extremely on-the-nose and sometimes actually quite astute in how it depicts behaviour.
weirdly intriguing
I find myself wanting to read just to find out how the heck the author manages to continue the story for 16 volumes

Either she's gonna continuously torment her in smaller ways or it's gonna be one huge reveal near the end

If not "altho she's away from my ex she still hasn't suffered enough so I'm gonna ruin her future relationships and jobs "

Dang the parents are rough I'd be bitter at them depending on the genetics too unless her parents are somehow stunningly attractive (tho you could argue that that's worse)

I'm surprised MD doesn't have a revenge tag. Villainess might be fitting but that tends to be used for the fantasy stories

The "sending a wedding invitation to gloat" is definitely on point

And stuff like the husband acting worried about his wife being unwell while cheating on her, or the MC reacting to the husband saying he'd leave her everything in the divorce by thinking "so you really want to break up with me that much?"
like 80% is the most hammed-up thing ever then it has a few nuggets of quite good writing.

Wow, there's already 119 ch out, and a live action series!
I went a bit through the raws, it's really interesting but feels a bit to dragged out. Don't know why it's still going, her revenge is pretty much complete. Well i guess maybe it will focus more on her life and finding happiness.

Let me know if someone wants a bit of spoilers...

Thanks for the chapter.

The fact there's 119 chapters for a story so simple is worrying, I hope we're not stuck in a 'Forever revenge that never actually progress' type of soap opera plot.

Interesting...I imagine other than some really good makeup/that fake skin horror costume artists use they prolly picked a "plain" actress as opposed to outright ugly if not someone overweight bc while it shouldn't affect ur acting abilities idk how many actors are outright "unattractive" versus just a unique face

Is the "bartender" mentioned in the mydrama list entry also a part of the manga or is it like just an added male chara so femc could have a "love interest" to move on with at the end ?

The bartender is her main ally and love interest even in the manga.

Spoiler: Details about him...

There are like 3 other allies that come into play, and are really interesting characters, but he is on her side from the beginning. His love for her isn't shown for a while, but in the latest chapters, after her revenge is pretty much complete, he kisses her.

His reason for helping her, he hates cheaters. His father cheated on his mother with her friend, left her for that woman and had a baby with her. She couldn't handle it and killed herself leaving him alone.

Thanks for posting the spoiler, honestly the premise doesn't sound that interesting anymore even with her revenge being complete. Does the author make it obvious that the bartender helps her because she is now pretty, or is it just played straight?

He's helping her because of his own reason, the one i wrote above. He is attracted to her, and falls for her over the course of the story, but i don't think it's only about her beauty. She is still a nice good girl deep down like she used to be, and i think he sees that.
If i remember correctly he even tries to persuade her to stop with all the vengeance in the recent chapters...
