Description
After graduating from the Department of Theater and Film, Mirang was working as an extra in the movie industry when she unexpectedly landed a significant role in a new film by a famous director. Her joy is short-lived, however, when the revised script comes back with a passionate bed scene. She was about to give up on her role, but when she saw her older sister struggling to support her, she strengthened her resolve. Following her senior’s advice to gain experience if she had none, Mirang came to Itaewon to find a partner. There, she offered to help a soldier who had his wallet and passport stolen. He was perfect for a no-strings-attached practice session. “Hello? My name is Mirang Kang. Can I help you?” “No, thank you.” He rejected her outright, but she couldn’t give up now. Embarrassed, with her ears red and lips trembling, Mirang pushes on, her determination outweighing her shame. “I help you, you help me. Okay?” The man stares at her for a long moment before he sighs and nods reluctantly. “…Okay.” After paying for his drinks and bringing him to her home, Mirang discovers, to her delight, that he speaks Korean. She eagerly hands him the script, only to face his scorn after he reads it. “Adult film? So, you’re a p*rn actress?” “What? p*rno? Are you insane?” “No?” “I’m really not that kind of actress! I get that just reading the script might give that impression… but it’s really not that kind of movie.” After many twists and turns, the two began practicing. What started as strict adherence to the script soon turned into dangerous, breathtaking improvisation. André de Lafayette never lost sight of his position. Having completed his military service per his family’s tradition, he was returning to New York when he met Mirang by chance. Experiencing his first deviation from a meticulously planned life, he finds his cold blue blood stirred by unfamiliar emotions. A woman with a flame-like innocence in her heart meets a man with blue blood as cold as ice. Will the flame extinguish first, or will the ice melt away? This is a retro romance with an analog feel that unfolds between Seoul and New York in the mid-90s.

My Thoughts on Deviant 1995
Okay, so I dove into "Deviant 1995" with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, given the… ahem… mature tags. It's an ongoing story, so I'm only basing my opinion on what's available so far. Let's get into it.
First Impressions
The initial setup is pretty intriguing. We've got a female protagonist navigating life, and the whole "living abroad" aspect adds a layer of complexity that I always appreciate. There's definitely a focus on mature themes from the get-go, which I expected going in.
What Works Well
What I found most compelling was the character dynamics. The "mismatched couple" trope is in full swing, and the contrast between the cold protagonist and the, shall we say, passionate situations she finds herself in creates some genuinely comedic moments. The "acting" tag also comes into play, adding a layer of intrigue as I try to figure out who's being genuine and who's putting on a show. The author does a good job balancing the humor with the more serious undertones of the story, making it more than just a fluffy romance. I'm invested in seeing how these characters evolve and whether they can break free from their initial molds.
Areas of Concern
While the "cold love interest" can be appealing, I do hope there's some genuine development there. I don't want it to devolve into just a one-dimensional archetype. I'm also keeping an eye on the pacing – sometimes, stories with a lot of mature content can sacrifice plot for… well, you know. I'm hoping the author continues to build on the initial promise and delve deeper into the characters' motivations and backstories.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Deviant 1995" is a promising read if you're looking for something with mature themes, a healthy dose of humor, and a compelling female lead. It's not without its potential pitfalls, but the strong character dynamics and intriguing premise have kept me hooked. I'm definitely curious to see where the story goes from here. I'd give it a solid 3.75 stars for now, rounded up to 4!
