Being generally interested in motorsport myself, I find it so interesting and impressive how accurate this aspect of the story is. I really love it as a setting.
I hear the author has had experience with racing stalls. To me it really enhances the story.
Same here, I love it!
After all this, and it just goes back to square one again? Really?
It's time for some progress here.
Looking at this, it seems Hyesung's only real purpose is to be annoying. I hope they change their mind about him and decide to soften him up a little, or at least let us see things from his perspective more. As it stands now he is really just a badly written character, and is draggin the whole story down.
Perhaps, but imo he’s pretty realistic. I’ve unfortunately had to deal with incorrigible people like him in the workplace. Not everyone gets a yahoo happy ending ;)
typo: a yaoi* happy ending
(Wtf is up with me and typos tonight TvT)
Sure, sure. But everything realistic doesn't make for a good story. Or rather, it's about how it's all executed.
Even those "incorrigible" people from your workplace has led a life that made them that way. And such, even a character such as Hyesung hypothetically has a story to tell. We don't have to wind up feeling sorry for him, or that we understand his standpoint, but if we could emphasise with him even just a little, he would become yet more realistic, and a better character.
That’s your option obviously. I think this is a good story - it’s well constructed. The characters are multidimensional, and the way author breaks the chapters is fun. Keeps people coming back for more. I honestly don’t care enough about suh to want to know more about him other ham what the author wants me to know. He was / is an asshole because he thinks people are there for his pleasure. Simple as that.
I think it's well constructed because its premise to begin with is very easy-going. There really isn't a goal except for them to eventually get together, with some hindrances that pretty much becomes the plot itself.
Don't get me wrong, though. I think it's entertaining enough to keep reading, but it's far from a masterpiece.
And what I'm getting at is that us not caring much about his character, and only seeing him as a hindrance is all because he is a badly written character to begin with.
He can still be "saved" as such with something like what I suggested originally, but honestly, not by a lot.
I just read from start to where it's currently at in 2 days.
At first I thought the dialogue was a bit hard to follow, and that the characters were a little hard to distinguish (I still have some issue differentiating between their friends) but it soon became clearer to me.
This is really so sweet, and I really like the more realistic (yet still stylistic) approach in the art-style. The realism is very much apparent in the narrative, too, as was very clearly shown around the time of the confession. You can really relate to their feelings.
It's down to earth without getting boring. I like it!
I felt the same way you did but after giving it a chance I really, really like this webtoon. I think the characters are realistic and I love how the author portrayed the anxiety of being in a relationship. I also love Eungi because he’s genuine.
Yes, he's a refreshing character, and the series is refreshing, too!
I don't understand why some translators loves to be annoying and pester us with their irrelevant notes all over the place like this. I'm thankful for the translation itself, but the comments are irritating.
As for the series, it looks quite promising. The art had me slightly sceptical in the beginning, but I'm glad I stuck with it because now I find it quite charming. There's good humour, and it's a refreshing read.
well some people like it and hey they can do what they want as in commenting and they don't actually care about your opinion, believe it or not ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Yeah, just as much as I don't care about and would not like to see theirs, I'd gather.
I mean hey, when has anyone ever cared about others opinion anyway
I love the tn notes especially because they took the time to translate it. Makes me laugh because of their commentary
I personally love the notes!
You can always ignore them.
Its not like they are shoving it right in your face and not letting you read the manhwa.
finally someone agrees with me. last time I posted a comment like this I got 15+ hate replies lol. thank you, my brave friend.
I agree. I’m super thankful that they share their translations, but honestly I couldn’t give a fuck about their little comments. The notes don’t add much and they disrupt the story. Because of that I trained myself to ignore the small writing haha
sometimes it’s hard bc they’re moments when they are legit (like they’re explaining a korean term or something). Why can’t they add their personal thoughts at the very end like other translation groups? eh whatever it’s not a big deal, but I agree with op - the comments are annoying
typo correction: there* are moments
I sometimes hate their notes too, but look at these , they're really tiny and unnoticable, I've seen much bigger notes all over the place so i'm actually thankful for these
And when you decide to do something idk like translating chapters yourself then you can not put notes. Until then be fucking thankful someone decided to this for you for free.
I did say I was thankful for the translation, though.
Indeed. I appreciate when the author's comments are about relevant things to the story, such as different terms that don't really translate. It's hard to ignore them when they're just personal opinions, and it makes it overall quite distracting to read.
And on a lighter note, the actual comments, as well, are pretty tasteless.
i 100% agree sometimes the comments are just small little things that are ok but a lot of the times its at unecesary and inappropriate times. its like when ur watching a movie and someone wont stop talking lol but these ones arent that bad.
but the art really! i actually loved the art immediately idk i guess bc its clean and simple
The person you're responding to has a valid opinion, whether or not we agree with it. You're just being snide.
Yes, many that respond here are obviously uncomfortable with critical opinions. Their comments can run from the mildly to the blatantly rude. It's unfortunate.
Just don't read them... Like the translator wants to share their feelings you know? (-_-)
Well, you're apparently not reading, anyway.
Like I said, it's hard to ignore them when sometimes there are actually relevant translation notes about terms and such.
agreed.it's like watching a movie and the person beside you wont stop talking .
That last part is condescending and needlessly rude. Play nice......
China is weird. That's all I have to say.
Why?
Why do you think so? (￣∇￣")
Because of their whole make believe traditional medicine and practices, is what I meant. Don't get me wrong, they do good things, and I don't think the military practice is a bad idea. But that girls should not drink cold drinks when on their period? I doubt there's much research to back that up.
What I like about this series the most is that whatever the incident, they don't get over it just like that. Nothing is ever really settled more than in word only, and this is why it's so realistic in this aspect.
However, sometimes the drama is a liiittle overbearing. I mean I know people talk a lot of shit in school, but it's going a bit overboard with how much everyone seems to care about EVERYTHING that the characters does. The author themselves seems aware of this sometimes. But it at least stays consistent with the pace of the story.
Hanmi is a biiit of a Mary Sue. It's somewhat annoying when she's pretty much the only one on everyone's minds.
This is legit but in the whole actually quite minor criticism, and overall I really like the story set-up, the complex characters, and the general feel of it.
Yeah I just can't imagine that behind that dumb-looking blue teddybear figure of Wallow is a sick twisted obsessive drama queen.
Ok, yeah, go ahead, call them idiots, and then go ahead and hastily misunderstand on your own. Oh, and definitely don't try to confront him or anything, that would be too logical!
It was pretty obvious for us, even before we knew that they were just talking about an assignment, that it wasn't him who was involved, but this guy can't even stop to think for more than two seconds?
C'mon man. This feels like forced drama.
I don't feel like it was a forced drama. It was a lot of coincidences, try to see it through YuYang's eyes:
1. Wang Ming and LiHuan are seen talking together. Twice. And always when YuYang isn't around. Yeah, LiHuan isn't talking, but... well, he hardly does.
2. The scheme was about making YuYang suffer a heartbreak. Yeah, he knew on the spot that his heartbreaker should be Zhang JieFeng, but he only knew this much. Who else could be involved
3. LiHuan, at first was just an annoying freshman to YuYang, but later he becomes very approachable. Plus, they are all from the same form room! If LiHuan wasn't directly involved in the scheme, then at least he would know anything about it, right? Wang Ming isn't the kind of person that hates anything in secret. Then why didn't LiHuan say anything?
These are just details. The point is that it does, too, feel kind of forced because things have just been going too smoothly for the to-be couple, and the author decides to bring in some drama to prolong the series.
The thing is, this can all be planned to begin with. The premise itself can be that it's so loose that the story can get sidetracked by new plots and drama. I'm not really a fan of this, but it's still fine. However, I feel that there could have been better ways to go about an event like this. It's just kind of a stupid misunderstanding, in my opinion.
