"Love is all about timing". Thats both the main character and the reader could feel after toiling away for 134 chapters. A story about the never meant to be. A bittersweet idea that no matter how much you love another person, if the situation calls for it, your feelings mean nothing. A story about how even if the situation allows it, sometimes the other person just isn't ready for something. A reality about how your love today might not be your love tommorow. This story that strikes close to home, characters that spend close to a decade regretting, hoping, careing yet forgetting. This story wasn't ...

A Girl Downstairs, is a romance story of a college student, who surprisingly meets a girl who lives downstairs. With no explicit content, The Chemistry between the lead pairs is soo amazing and great and is what attracted me the most. The story progresses smoothly and all the characters introduced in the series were developed as the story goes on. All the important characters have personalities that may be liked or disliked at first, but at the end, we love most of them.

The story is definitely solid part of the manhwa and once you start reading you will get to feel the love, affection, ...

Spoiler

what the fuck did i just read?! good prank though, you really played with my emotions really well
there are SOOO many things wrong with this trash of a manhwa

Character Review:
1-Joon (Main Character)
he is a pos, he is leading on 3 girls at the same time which is evil, he also keeps playing with the emotion of his wife by constantly going to concert of his ex-girlfriend
ALSO he constantly is saying "HEY, are you cheating on me with your manager" when he literally keeps hugging and holding hands of other women!! fuck this guy

2-Duna
i hate people who smoke, so right of the bat i hate her, ... she is portrayed as being "strong independent woman"!! MY ASS
she literally decided to suck the cock of the company that blackmailed her instead of fighting back, she said the lawsuit would cost her gazillion dollars, BULLSHIT, no company even in north korea (the best korea after reading this shit) can do this to you, she decided to ghost his boyfriend for around a year or two instead of sharing the problem so that the two of them can fix it together.
she is a cheating lying evil bitch
i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt because of the lawsuit but in the last page she literally says she could give up her career and join MC but that is not her place and that "he would be happy but i would be miserable", if you choose your career instead of your relationship, you are cheating EXACTLY in the sense as if some richer partner has come to the picture and you chose them, it is cheating and it has to be called that
"you are the most important thing in the world, never forget that joon", "promise me you never leave me", "i will always be by your side", "i'll never leave you","i love you so much"
ALL of these quotes are lies and she knew she is lying at that moment, this is why the story is garbage, this is not the Duna that we knew, no way she says "my fame is more important than him" when we know she is constantly afraid that people are leaving her behind

3-Ira
easily the best girl, she was just a little dumb, why do you keep remaining around this loser of a mc! she truly deserved better, the author did her dirty, she became "replacement" for duna, even when she is trying to have a connection to mc, we keep getting flashbacks of duna! even the author knows this is a bad relationship, so why did the author did this?

all the other characters are horrendously bad or redundant
the author doesn't understand what love is, at all, she thinks love is those moment of excitement you feel in a relationship, the author (it's a female), is mistaking lust and crush and passion for love, most likely because she is an empty loser herself, "i love you so much that's why i have to let you go and chase my career that i was blackmailed into but gods please don't let him get hurt so much"! LOOOL

if you think i'm butthurt because of the "sad ending", think again, i'm currently reading Aeneid by Virgil and i cried my eyes out for "Dido", the Dignified Queen who got destroyed by Venus and how Aeneas was forced to abandon her against his wish, that is a tragedy because it's well built, there is no loophole, this my friends is trash

i see people coping by saying the ending was "realistic", well yes it is realistic because retarded people end up in this situation

this is how it should have ended, she should have informed her boyfriend (just like in the flashback) and then they should have gotten married and have childern just like anne shirly, because the entire story relies on moving forward in a relationship, first it was crush, then kisses, then becoming bf/gf, the next step was obvious but "muh career" was clearly the way to go!
