wontaek created a topic of Adapted Male Lead

It's not bad but the author kind of makes the story more confusing than it has to be. Like the main plot itself is already good enough and I don't understand why she's keeping the secret although it's not really a secret from her childhood friend. I also find it ridiculous that none of those three people noticed that it was her just because she had longer hair and was wearing a bit of makeup. Like so he recognizes her after a long time in high school but she puts on some different clothes and makeup and suddenly she's a different person. That aspect is just a little silly to me and her whole subplot with the best friends just is kind of annoying. I also think the author moved way too fast with the MC and male lead relationship. I don't mean romance wise but I mean familiarity wise. Like there was no business-friendship or making a deal with one another face. Like The professional phase just isn't there and why is he already jealous??? It should be business relationship then friendship then love right but I feel like he's doing the most helping her. like dialogue wise in the beginning he's just almost too kind and it doesn't really work with his actions for me. And I'm not saying he isn't a kind person but his actions feel out of place. And they technically have me even made like the typical "I will pretend to be your girlfriend consistently" deal. They just end up in the situations randomly and they just pretend for one another. I don't know it's kind of hard to describe specifically what I'm dissatisfied with. I just really defined a disappointing because I love their dynamic. I love the comedy, the male lead is hot and actually really sweet. I just feel like their decisions and actions are not matching up.
I stopped at chapter 20 and I gave this like four stars, might come back to finish later.
