This is a manwha that feels very inspired by Japanese shojo manga as it leans into many tropes typical of that genre. The story starts off pretty one-note with many characters personalities not having much depth besides "kind guy thinking the popular girl he accidentally confessed to is fake but the girl he likes is the fake one". As the story and characters' backstories are developed, you get a deeper understanding of the flaws, fears, and shortcomings of many of characters. Some are deeply saddening while others can be outlandishly goofy. Some of the dialogue becomes especially engaging especially towards the climax of the story. ... By the end I was just hoping to see even more wholesome moments between characters and how some of the under-represented relationships played out. Unfortunately there are a couple loose ends that I think hold the story back for feeling complete but if you are just in it to see the development of a wholesome couple, highly recommend!

Picked up this because the cover was intriguing and the description too but I am so disappointed with almost everything going on in this manhwa.
The characters are so bland and boring and so many of them are really annoying. The side characters were not at all someone I can root for. Each character has one trait which is not so subtly shown to us. There is no depth in any of the characters. Some of the things the characters do and think are incredibly frustrating and unnecessary. The main male character is shown as such a 'nice guy' (literally the definition of the nice guy ... trope) but the reason he hates the female main character is so shallow and baseless to me. This would have made sense if they tweaked things up a bit and added some depth into the love interest instead of making her the nicest most beautiful person on planet Earth, but this does not happen. The female side character bullies the male side character (for a short time) because she knows his secret, which is that he was fat in high school??? Maybe there's a cultural difference, but how does having a dark past which no one should know about is= being fat in high school. It's not even funny the amount of times it was hinted as being something super mysterious turning out into being this. Also the female side character has to be the worst written 'good character' in this manhwa , this character got away with being the absolute meanest even though others were nothing but nice to her. Some of the plotlines just felt unexplained or just dropped I guess- like the one guy who was being weirdly obsessive about the female side character and the other girl who was interested in the main male character. Things like this made the story which had an interesting premise being disappointing in the end. The art was the tolerable part about this , although not great. Overall its a 4/10 because it didn't do anything good necessarily, but it didn't do anything abhorrently offensive.
