After re reading this manhwa at different stages of my life , it hits harder each time. I have never seen any manhwa capture the nuances of an ordinary life so well and portray it so interestingly. The manhwa is really about a college going student Seoul and her journey from her university life to graduation and navigating life.

Story 8/10: Nothing too complex but there's a lot of flashbacks which can be too much but these are essential to the story. The author has really thought out the entirety of the story from day one; seeds are planted in the first season itself which ...

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 ...

Loved this one, but I was holding off reading it because i couldn't find all the chapters online. Here's my review:

Story: 8/10 Starts off a bit stereotypical: A lady quits her job impulsively and takes up a job which is out of her character. But the story was built up nicely to the point where I started wondering how someone even thinks of stuff like this and writes it. There's no insane drama or anything but the story was grounded and interesting.

Characters 9/10: This is like one of the best friend groups I have ever seen, the chemistry between the friends was really wholesome and ...

I honestly really liked this one in the beginning, but after a few chapters it fell off in my opinion. A lot of questions were being raised in the manga and not one of them were properly answered throughout the manga, like literally it lead to nothing and I could not give my own interpretations to the questions or the plot points. I was waiting for some closure to the story but I didn't receive a lot except for one plot point which was concluded properly but it was still a bit predictable as to where it would lead.

And personally, I find the reason ...

I was so ready to hate this manhwa after reading a few chapters ,but it got kind of good at some points and its only 30 chapters so might as well read it. But I can't really look past the creepy parts that will never turn out good in real life. I mean first the 'funny' talk and jokes about size of breasts are boring and annoying. And I can't even defend the mc actions because its plain creepy and in real life no one would have let it slide (hopefully). Also, the description of this manhwa is not exaggerating his obsession with swimsuits which ...

I really wanted to like this one but couldn't ignore things that didn't sit well with me. So let me start off with things I liked- The art and at times the writing when the main character talks about the places she's visiting or her interests. I think the author has great potential to write good stuff but this Manhwa really feels like a good writer was forced to do a Wattpadesque manhwa.
Okay so the main issue with this manhwa is that the women characters are so shallow. All of their character traits are revolved around fawning over the male main character and honestly it ...

I loved this , it was quirky and a bit confusing at points (I am guessing this is the case due to things getting lost in translation) but it was interesting and so different from other slice-of-life works. I'm writing this review because no one here has mentioned how dark it can get sometimes, so slight spoilers. It's not gorey and stuff but people who are sensitive to content that mentions sexual abuse- this one is not for you. There are descriptions of sexual exploitation which is not extremely graphic as I mentioned but can be upsetting to see, but this does not take a ...

What a complete waste of time. If you are led here thinking this might be thought provoking or a fun read, it is neither and I have tried to understand the point of this manga but alas I am still quite confused. And a 5 is quite generous for this manga to be honest. I am just hoping that some stuff got lost due to translation but who knows.

Story 5/10: Interesting premise, but the pacing is really bad. Boring parts are dragged out and nothing is added onto it, while the parts which might seem interesting are extremely rushed and no closure as to what ...

Honestly, this one was a little disappointing. It wasn't bad in any sense but it was a whole bunch of nothing burgers to me. The reason this gets a 7 is because there is not a lot to fault at it but not a lot to enjoy in this too.

Story 7/10: Kind of basic, friends to lovers except they don't show drag out the journey of them being friend to more. To be honest, I was more interested in the Male main character's sister story more than the main couple.

Art 9/10: This art style is cute. I personally loved it, the character designs were ...
