Before reading this manhwa up to the latest chapter at this point in time (from chapter 1 to 29 in a few hours), I would never have believed anyone if they told me I would like it this much. You probably thought the same way after reading the synopsis. And who could blame you? A story about a guy who constantly gets labeled as a pervert because of random awkward situations (like tripping and faceplanting someone's boob), and his struggle to grow from a clumsy wimp to an alpha male capable of picking any girl up. It sounded like something that could give a giggle ... from time to time, but I really couldn't imagine that a manhwa originated from such a simple idea could develop such an amazing story that constantly keeps you wanting for more, not being able to drop it for a second.

Story: 9/10

So, as it can be concluded from the summary, the main character (Jang Sung-Gi) is a clumsy guy who constantly gets into awkward situations. Not only is he clumsy, but he is also socially awkward and unable to express himself with words in the right way. After he meets his "mentor", who is another student just like him, but with a lot of experience as a "pick up master", his path to becoming one himself starts. The mentor provides "lessons" that help him change from a complete know-nothing boy to a real man.

I loved how deep the author's understanding of human interactions goes. As someone that takes pride in his interpersonal intelligence and has a decent chunk of knowledge about manipulation methods, I have found myself saying "wow, that is exactly how it is" many, many times. Every "lesson" really is something that works in the real world, although (of course) the situations in the manhwa are sometimes aligned to suit the specific lesson.

So, if you are someone like me, who has knowledge about those things, you'll probably also feel the author has done his research. If you are, on the other hand, someone without as much knowledge, you will definitely be able to learn a lot.

It is really surprising how easily the story keeps flowing and becoming more and more interesting with each chapter.

Art: 10/10

Art for this manhwa is straight up amazing, but not only because the character designs are beautiful. The most important reason are the facial expressions that portrait the emotions extraordinarily well. In the comical moments (which there are plenty of), you will probably sometimes find yourself laughing histerically only because of one of those.

Characters: 10/10

As it is obvious, this manhwa revolves around the main character's progression as a person. However, as the manhwa goes on, some other characters get almost as much development as Jang Sung-Gi. Not much can be said without spoiling, so I'll just say that the characters are very logical and believable, and their actions never feel out of place. Also, the characters are extremely lovable. They really grew on me, and I found myself rooting for them in clutch situations many times.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I never would've dreamed that a random manhwa I clicked on would bring me so much joy. This immediatelly skyrocketed into my top 5 favorites after chomping all existing chapters in a few hours. This is one of those that always leaves a smile on your face after reading, but not only because it is funny (although I did send links of a few funny moments to some people, after nearly dying of laughter), but because it leaves some kind of a strange satisfying feeling in you after each story.

Overall: 10/10

I strongly recommend this. Go read a couple of chapters, and be amazed how such a simple idea grows to an amazing piece of work.
