The way Noah and Dohye's relationship developed was way better than the one he has with Naeyon right now.
Just to make things clear, im an hetero woman, however, even i can see the two boys suit each other a lot better. Naeyon's okay, but she really only started to notice Noah for his looks because she is horny 50% of the time, whereas Dohye just wanted to befriend Noah and that ended up in him discover he likes guys because he felt attracted to another boy resulting then in love.
Im sure the end pair will be the man x woman and i really do like shoujo manga so thats not my problem here.. its that i am losing my interest on the story since now i know the couple with the better development and interesting story wont be the canon one.

first of all cliche can be everywhere especially in "romance" stories if autors use it enough to kill it. just cause it "webtoon/josei" it still have the very typical Shoujo plot, whatever it is a josei or not. the plot is still the same has a shoujo, and not a good shoujo, it actually worse cause the main girl have nothing to offer other then to be horny all the time.
if you don't read enough shoujo, then you won't know I guess, but in a shoujo the girl will always end with her man she full in love first, no matter what, whatever they even fit to each other or not, that the purpose of a shoujo.

Oh, I thought you meant chleche in terms of the plot, if you mean who end with who then yeah I agree but like you said thats more of a romance cliche then a shoujo cliche, because whether its shoujo, josei, yuri or yaoi the first pairing you see is the end game lol even if its shit. in terms of the plot, a female lead in a shoujo wouldnt have the balls to pull off the shit naeyeon has lol if anything shoujo girls are loyal to a fault lol

Not always, I did read a yaoi that the main first pair didn't end together in the end, even if almost all the comic and plot was about them and their relationship, they didn't stay together and the uke move on to a new love. it is rare but it does happen in yaoi, not sure about Shoujo since a lot of them the main pair did end together, well other then Yuu watase works, but I"m sure there is rare manga's too.
there is also the cliche the main girl can change and heal anything in her "main guy" no matter what it is just from her power love and her been there, what again is bullshit. it does not make sense and not relisitc at all XD
on cheating not really, depend on the manga, in fushigi yuugi the main girl actually was going to move on from the main guy cause he deserve it, not cause she was horny.
so the fact Naeyeon cheated on the guy by having sex for no good reason, does not make her have "balls" cause Noah was good to her while she cheated on him. also how does she have "balls" while she letting guys harass and touch her body without asking her? does her body mean so little to her? she could make money in much better ways. it actually show women in a very bad light I do not like! and the fact she does not get any penalty for the cheating only make her character so much worse then Doyha. cause she didn't have any reason to cheat other then her been horny, I"m sorry been horny is not a reason! if they going this way, then main girl and Noah should have been only sex friends and not a couple.
actually, if you ask me, Maika from Fushigi yuugi or even Kagoma of Ramiko had more balls then Naeyeon. but that a matter of teste. cheating does not make her a better person or a strong character, whatever it a girl or a guy, it actually make the character worse.
recently I like a girl character in a yaoi that cheated on her boyfirend, I like her so much more then I ever like or care for Naeyeon, and she was a side character ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ that say something (the girl was from the webtoon "fools", it about the romance between two man, but there is also minor stright couple's there) so what I besically saying is Naeyeon in this comic, have nothing to offer that make me care for her, she does not have any traits to talk about other then her been horny, I seen worse annoying girl's that I like more then I ever cared for Naeyeon, so I can't say it is a good thing about the shoujo cliche part in this comic. if it's going to be cliche, at least they should work on building the stright character's better.
but hii that just me ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ each and their own opinion.

I think your misunderstanding my words, im not complementing naeyeon by saying “having balls”, shes one my least favourite characters ive ever read and there are far better female characters then her, what i was trying to say was that naeyeon isnt a shoujo cliche as fm leads in shoujos are usually virginal and are usually stuck on the main male character, which isnt surprising as it is aimed at young female teenagers, its rare that they physically cheat. I love when the author goes with a different end pairing then expected but that doesn't happen very often, i dont read very much mangas with romance whether bl or het these days because im always disappointed. Ive pretty much lost interest in this manhwa as theres not one characters that im attached to, the closest is noah and thats because i feel sorry for him not beacuse i enjoy his character. Overall i agree with you on naeyeon shes bland, bland, bland lmao

ohh I see now, you right I misunderstood you comment. sorry about that XD I agree most Shoujo is mostly virgin's girls, but well it for young girls, so it not really surpising. I don't really mind the virgin part XD though I think once I seen one that the girl wasn't virgin, I think XD can't remember.
Yay then we both feel the same way! (●'◡'●) actually the only one I like is the detective (the reason I kept reading this) and the weird guy So Joong, he made a face at some point that was the same has mind when I read the sex scenes (a very bored and stupid face), and the way he play around with people and doing all the dirty and hard work to get rid of the horrible family really make me like him. at least he doing something then only sex. and I found him funny XD I hope we see him again but I doubt it ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ what a player (≧∀≦)
The first stories were nice, but that last one....urgh, the relationship felt so rushed and fake in the end
