I'm wondering why I don't like An Baichu. Cuz I love a lot of characters who are douchebags & yet I don't feel much for him. I think when you have a character that doesn't necessarily have admirable qualities, another way to make them in some way appealing is by establishing a connection between them & the audience ,which often times is through relateability. An is not very relatable physically since not many of us are genius highschool scientists. So that would leave emotional relateability which he has since it seems he deals with a great amount of pressure from his father & work, he has potential! Yet I still don't feel much. With Lu Lang, we see him agonize & go through his emotions & hear the inner workings of his personal thoughts & feelings. With An Baichu, we hear his thoughts but rarely on his own personal feelings. We see a lot less of his expressions. My theory for the less positive audience response towards him would be emotional disconnect between him & the audience, & a bit between him & the MC so far. Just my thoughts on why maybe other readers & myself don't like him too much. I could be totally wrong tho..
I really love how they pay attention to the main characters relationship, but also kinda pay attention to the cooking/restaurant aspect of the story too! For me, that attention to detail makes this stand out compared to others!
This book was stinkin cute, but I definitely wanted to see more of those raccoons. There's potential there! First story concept is really good & everyone likes it, so it definitely would've been cool if the author focused exclusively on it since its unique/ intriguing enough to stand on its own. Or better yet maybe turn into it's very own manga! *wink wonk* (god I hope that happens)
I mean, I've decided to see this comic through to the end whether I personally like it or not, just to see the direction & outcome it'll take since I used to really like this one. But yeah I am a little disappointed that after everything Siwon & Jinha have been through, Siwon goes "Badum". Personally for me, CHP. 65 was prolly my least favorite...
Even though Jinha himself was never really the most perfectly written character either, I still felt happy seeing him again after so many chapters of the psycho! I missed seeing his face! I got a soft spot for Jinha honestly.

It's a shame that none of the author's other works are here, so I'm just gonna leave these links for anyone that's like me & wants to see more of their work! They actively post alot of their amazing art from pages of doujinshis to fanart of things like Osamu Tezuka's work, Kamen Rider, 1970s crime dramas, 70's inspired work, & original work! I'd highly recommend to check it out since I think their beautiful work could always use more love!
