She is indebted to her boss, who is keeping her comatose mother on life support in exchange for her complete devotion to running his businesses, while living in her boss&#8217; home, and being an exploited girlfriend of the boss&#8217; disagreeable son.  A chance encounter with an evil spirit in a painting reveals that she has skills the Korean royal family needs &#8211; and she catches Prince Geon&#8217;s eye.  Her adoptive family would rather get their spoiled daughter into the palace, and not give Yuyeon up.  And the palace itself has a powerful spirit with its own opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has a story quite unlike the other comics I&#8217;m reading, and I have no idea how it will turn out.  I want more contemporary Korean content, and so I&#8217;ll pick this up again in Season 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Castle: Keeper of the Sacred Eye by Jin Soye, hyeyong, pecanpublished by Tappytoon (50 chapters ( 1 season), on hiatus \/ to be continued)2023 (?) &#8211; present Back in February, I summarized this comic as &#8220;contemporary imaginary Korean royalty battle evil spirits trapped in paintings through heterosexuality.&#8221; That is still a concise and funny &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/2024\/05\/14\/book-manhwa-the-castle-keeper-of-the-sacred-eye-by-jin-soye-hyeyong-pecan\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Book (Manhwa): The Castle: Keeper of the Sacred Eye by Jin Soye, hyeyong, pecan&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[266,265],"class_list":["post-2510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-graphical-fiction","tag-manhwa"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2510"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2512,"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510\/revisions\/2512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teahousehome.com\/booksandcoffee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
