some authors don’t deserve their characters. oh kim dan, let me protect you. you deserve so much better.

Mahwas that are first novels and/or have an author + artist ALWAYS have top-tier dialogue! The pacing is always on point and the ending is never rushed. The lack of sex scenes prevented the author/artist from using them as fillers or conflict-solvers. I loved it because it made me YEARN. Like, I’ll take a kiss on the neck, pretty please.

I loved the dual POV of events. It made everything much more interesting and prevented the manhwa from hitting a lull. Heejae nearly had me for a second—like, he could not have showered Seyeong with so much attention without liking him and I was right, that man not only fell for Seyeong once, but twice. Seyeong is simply that girl XD. The art is glorious. I commend the artist for how many characters they drew (drawing 2 main pairings + tons of extras must have been TOUGH). Heejae and Seyeong are both beautiful, but Seyeong is another level of pretty. No wonder Heejae is so possessive. And you know what, so is Seyeong. That man sunk his claws into Heejae way before admitting his feelings. I loved their relationship. I loved how much they bickered. That enemies to lovers progression hit the spot. They’re both so caring of each other underneath their clashing personalities that actually pair so well. I mean, they’re both gamers with attachment issues, are equally possessive and jealous, and insanely competitive. They’re just meant to be!

My only complaint is that I wish Heejae’s original motive to “date” Seyeong would have been revealed. I think the angst would have been glorious. I suppose because Heejae really fell for Seyeong, it was swept under the rug. I thought for a second Woohyeon would reveal it, but I was mistaken.

I really hope we get more of these two! I already miss them. I would love side stories. That fade to black sex scene could easily become an explicit side story o.o.
