Raeliana: Warum sie die Verlobte des Dukes wurde

Handsome men and beautiful ladies populate this historical romance set in an era similar to the mid to late 1800's. This is an era where nobility plot and maneuver against each other for power while society is also undergoing change as wealthy businessmen compete against the nobility for power and status. This is a perfect setting for romance and intrigue.

The story is based on a completed Korean manga series - "The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion" (Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu). The title may be long, but the manga series moves along quickly. I expect the anime series will prove lively and interesting.

The first episode packs in a lot of exposition to quickly set up the story. It seems that Eunha Park in modern Korea is pushed off a building and awakens in a different world. She is now Raeliana McMillan - and she knows that she will soon be murdered! In fact, she knows a lot of things about this world that normal people do not know. The reason - she enjoyed reading this as a novel titled "Beatrice" in her previous life!

Raeliana does not want to die a second time, so she sets out to change the story. Using her secret knowledge and sharp intellect, Raeliana must secure her safety with a fake romance, solve several mysteries, and overcome her misgivings about changing the story.

The artistic design is richly detailed and very appealing. The English dub actors are familiar and do a good job.

I highly recommend this.

I binge-watched the first few episodes and they were splendid and I had to actually find the original manga to quench my curiosity. The concept of this anime was very unique and I really enjoyed how well each character has been given story-development but most importantly the main characters share a fantastic chemistry and the anime does not specifically focus on just one of them primarily which is the best catch. Besides the plot I really liked the comical scenes as well. I do hope that the anime will do justice to some of the other characters that just showed up near the climax of the manga. Hope the anime will emphasize on those characters more like the Goddess, Vivian and especially Beatrice, also please create some character for Justin he doesn't deserve to be ditched so many times. Over-all very great anime and I hope they add a little bit more content to fill in the little gaps. You will not be disappointed.

A tale based on a down to earth, stubborn woman and a playful yet aloof gentle(ish)man. I'm trying to keep away from spoilers but I love the running question of what fate is. A curse that cannot be escaped or a thread you can drag to your destination kicking and screaming?

The snarky young lady is reincarnated in a meek woman's place she knows is destined to die from murder and is trying to live by dancing through her death flags and seeks the initially reluctant aid of her friends future husband- the books male lead. Surprise; isakai. Will her fate snap her up or will she outlive her previous self in this new world full of monsters? There are also actual monsters too.

Next season please.

This anime was really good, I love reading manhwas with similar storylines like villains are destined to die and the remarried empress. Although not exactly alike, they have similarities that's are awesome. I expected for this anime to be fine but it was actually really good and I found myself laughing A lot. My mom doesn't like anime much but she started watching it with me and was laughing and super into it so that's a really good sign. We binged this in a day, I'm sad that there's only 12 episodes cuz it was such a good anime, at first it's slightly confusing but once she gets to the dukes mansion the storyline is much easier to follow and it's very cute. The clique romance scenes of him kissing her hand and such were actually cute and not weird and awkward like how they usually are in ever other anime, so it's a cute anime that people should really watch :)
