Could be better

Yes, we are reading on MangaGo for free, that’s why I won’t complain much. I’m saying to future readers, go read on the Webtoon app for the official translation. It’s so much better, and coherent. I feel like I wasted my time reading on MangaGo just now, after enduring whole 77 chapters being confused often with the sentencing, and feeling like I don’t get the whole picture at times. The only plus reading here is that you don’t have to watch 20 second ads everytime you want to read the next chapter, like on the Webtoon platform.

Now, for the main characters, I like Yura and Hyun Seung a lot. They are a nice couple with mature outlook towards their life and know what they want in each other. Though, I feel like some of the chapters could be used to show more struggles with their relationship, and the entertainment industry. This webtoon shows a rosy outlook towards the Korean idol/acting industry, even though the reality is the opposite.

Also, I feel like some characters conflict are resolved too soon, like with Son Jin Ah and Jeon Woo. Suddenly after Son Jin Ah explain her reason for going together with Hyun Seung for buying the b-day necklace, we never see her again. That’s it? Could have shown more of her interactions with the main couple to ease her exit more subtly. Also Jeon Woo, Yura’s ex. He was never shown again after he was punched by Hyun Seung in the police station. It left an unsatisfied feeling with that abrupt end, after all the flashbacks that Jeon Woo was having about Yura when she was still his lover. Should have shown some more of his situation, and reason of becoming such a nasty person, and maybe regret after seeing Yura become even more succesful after leaving him. Remember his reason for slapping Yura? Flashback to his abusive father? The story never touches on this again.

I feel like the author just scrapped Son Jin Ah and Jeon Woo to have a fluffier and easier story. Should have planned more carefully then about the side characters. Never throw them away so suddenly and without any transitioning for their exit. But other than that, the story is quite nice, though the last 1/3 was kinda rushed. This webtoon could have been better, but it’s still a nice read. The art is at least consistent, and quite good as well.
