Kara and Lee YunHee - Angel Diary, vol. 05-06 (Eng. trans.)

I keep reading these so far apart that I can't keep track of the plot.

The plot thickens! Bi-Wal has a secret twin! I have no idea what's going on with pony-tailed demon girl! Or Queen Hong!

On the other hand, there's some manufactured angst for Bi-Wal and Dong-Young that I like even as I don't buy into it.

Also, every time I think I don't want to read further, the manhwaga throw in gender-bending. First it was Ah-Hin, and now it's the news that Dong-Young was actually sexless and had to transform into a girl only because zie was betrothed. I wonder if Heaven asked Hell about the king of Hell's sexual preferences before determining Dong-Young's sex, as opposed to defaulting to heterosexuality? I will just pretend that they did, even though I doubt it.

And now, I am starting to want fic that maximizes on the gender-bending and Heaven and Hell angst...

Wait. What? I. That --

You've gone past where I stopped reading. I may need to start over and continue on.

I know! I was like, oh, this is just fluffy fun with pretty boys and girls, and then I was like, wait, what? I'm not sure how deeply the manhwaga will explore it, but still, very interesting...
