Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning Novel Review

My Thoughts on Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning

"Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning" promised a fluffy romance, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted read, and I wasn't entirely disappointed, though some elements definitely left me with mixed feelings. It's a story about an actress, Pei Ying, and her whirlwind romance with CEO Song Nachaun.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a seemingly naive female lead and a charming CEO. I quickly found that the main character has her head on straight. She has upright morals and a sense of self that doesn’t seem to be easily swayed. That is something I like in a light novel.

What Works Well

The story is cute, charming, and funny. Pei Ying's shyness and unintentional humor are definitely adorable. I found myself chuckling at her inner monologues and her attempts to navigate the world of celebrities. The translation is also smooth and easy to read, which is always a plus. Many will enjoy the comedic scenes.

Areas of Concern

However, the male lead, Song Nachaun, is where things get a little murky for me. Some found his immediate obsession with Pei Ying a bit unsettling, feeling it lacked a solid foundation. It's like the story just jumped into the deep end of "insta-love" without building enough of a connection first. Furthermore, his behavior sometimes veered into controlling territory, making decisions for Pei Ying without truly respecting her career aspirations. I can see how that could be a major turn-off for some readers. I do think the ML learned from his mistakes and exerted a good amount of effort before the FL forgave him.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning" is a decent read if you're looking for a light, fluffy, and relatively drama-free romance. However, be prepared for a male lead who might rub you the wrong way with his overbearing tendencies and a plot that doesn't delve too deep beneath the surface. If you can look past those flaws, you might just find yourself charmed by this cute and comedic story.
