Ohhhh that could be it, I totally thought it was more to do with how he was portrayed or something lol. Tbh I personally like how he looks, it's rarer to get a ML with darker skin in modern settings - it's mostly down to his personality though, I love that he's essentially been crushing on the MC since high school :'D
Well if you read an adaptation, there's bound to be some kind of disappointment (more often than not) when it comes to physical characterizations if your imagination is not met. I like how he looks though. Although, I understand how OP feels and I can't really say if I wouldn't be disappointed if I had read the novel because I had it happen to me before. But it is what it is lmao
Woww! The novel I read turns into manhwa yihaaa! But but… the ML is different from what I imagined ( ̄へ ̄). This one is not bad… just a little disappointed hmm
