"Let Dai" manga/manwha reviews: vols. 1, 3, and 5

My first post of the new year! Hey, lurkers, please leave a comment now and then!
One of my favorite manga (or, to use the Korean term, manwha) series is Let Dai. I wrote these reviews of vols. 1, 3, and 5 after animeondvd.com said they needed a yaoi reviewer, and they didn't have anyone else reviewing these volumes. I went to the work of putting my reviews into the animeondvd.com format, only to be told, "We already have some other people that do yaoi." (After they said they needed someone, and the guy said he wanted to see my reviews because he needed someone, and the vacant template, just waiting for a review, was up on the site--huumm.) Rather than put them into another format, I just posted them on DeviantArt instead. Fellow Let Dai fans, I'd love to hear from you. Here are the links:
