Summary: "What is a sweet, soft-spoken girl (Ha Li Kang) to do when her brothers, having just learned fencing and martial arts, decide to test some moves out on her in order to "tame her" and make her into their "little slave?" She runs to her knightly friend (Te Hu Kang, not related to Ha Li) for protection, of course. However, what happens when, instead of comforting her, he tells her that she is a coward for running away like a puppy who needs constant protection? No, she does not break down and cry like a weak girl. Instead, she resolves to grow stronger. With rigorous training everyday, Ha Li goes from being a scared girl who cries for help to becoming the Jjang (boss of a gang) of the Doberman gang. However, events lead to Ha Li getting in an accident with a truck. Afterwards, she is reborn into the body of a beautiful, but weak, rich girl Aram Han."

Hot Blooded Woman.. for the.. probably the 10th time (lol). Hwang Mi Ri happens to be among my favorite mangakas. You constantly hear bad critique about her.. all her characters look the same (specially the females.. there's only like 8 different ones she draws).. the storylines are similar, ect, ect... but honestly, I don't have one complaint about any of her works. I've come to love them all. And I'd really would like to find some of her earlier works, when she mainly appealled to older audiences, but I have yet to come across any. I will admit though, that there were a few things that I think would have made
Hot Blooded Woman give more an, I guess impact, on the reader. And
Hot Blooded Woman happens to be a manhwa with a lot of twist in the storyline.. if you're not really focused, you'll miss out on important details. Ha Ji is probably one of the most interesting character personalities I've seen in her works. Being that she has a serious poker face.. and for the longest time you assumed she was either really slow or just plain dumb. I thought it was extremely interesting to find out differently. And I have to agree.. she is kinda a wicked person.. being that she played as though she was being manipulated... when in fact, it was the other way around.
