The wholesome romance between the two main characters is easily my favorite in all the manga I've read. That's what anyone coming here would be reading for, so I recommend it to you because of that. It's really good. However, the manga is far from perfect. In typical romance fashion, there's a bunch of side characters that contribute virtually nothing and no one really gives a shit about and are just there for filler between chapters where romantic progression happens (wow here they are at the mall! wow here they are at the park! wow here the gang is at the fishing hole!). The ending ... is really safe, lackluster, and boring. Worst of all, it's tainted by the male MC becoming such an insufferable pussy in the last few volumes that it just makes the reader frustrated more than anything. I'm being very critical of the ending, because its riding the insanely powerful and perfect start that this manga had. Even though it started amazingly, I can't help but have a bad taste in my mouth at the end. I'm still giving it a 7, a good rating, because the romance, the main part anyone would read this for, is very very good for the majority of the manga.

I'm not seeing where all the hype is coming from on this one. To me, this was a forgettable manwha.

Story [6/10] - I like the atmosphere of the fairground, and the main theme of holding on to childhood dreams. That's about it. Everything else was kinda cliche and forgettable.

Art [4/10] - This is my least favorite part. I don't think the art is inherently bad. There were plenty of moments where the art was great, especially the flashback in chapter 25. However, during 95% of the story, we are treated with the depiction of the main character, who is drawn like a doll and has ... little to no change in facial expression throughout the entire manwha. This was just odd to me as some characters, like Il-Deung, changed expression normally. It also made it a lot harder to feel connection to the main character. The magician also didn't change much in expression, but I think that might be for a reason and at least he isn't drawn annoyingly. I will say that the cover art is great and I wish more of the art in the story was like it.

Character [7/10] - Same deal with the plotline, these are just not memorable characters. Not bad, not good, just fine. However, I will +1 just because the magician was original.

Enjoyment [6/10] - It was a quick read, with not an overbearing amount of text on the pages. I enjoyed that.
