(never read the novel) to be honest this story had so much potential especially bc of the characters, the ml and fl are both interesting in their own ways + having prior history filled with misunderstandings would’ve been fine and tbh theor is the mvp carrying the story but bc the webtoon feels so rushed the plot itself is kinda hard to follow esp when it delves deep into politics given that the fl’s highly politically driven father is the main reason why the plot is even happening which is so disappointing :// the webtoon couldve taken its time exploring themes and plot points but instead it feels incredibly haphazard and flimsy 5.5 out of 10, would only recommend this for the vibes but not for tasteful rofan enthusiasts
