The Keystone Romantic Combination
I have a lot of conflicting feelings about this story, but I will say that I did not regret reading this story. Unfortunately, I feel that this manhwa suffered from having overly repetitive dialogue and scenes (some things looked copy & pasted..). It was also such a shame to start the manhwa off already showing us the result, spoiling it. It was pretty unnecessary considering it would have already started off great with the beginning part of Youngjoon’s story. On that note, the transitions definitely needed some work. There was some crazy time jumps that caught me completely off guard. Our protagonist, Youngjoon, was an amazingly patient character. Even I felt Hyun was being way too overbearing and wished he would stop crying and repeating the same things over and over.. Other than that, they did a pretty good job showing the relationship’s progression, as well as presenting supporting characters’ into the story—they never took over and created unnecessary filler, something many manhwa-gas struggle with. (To add, it’s always incredibly satisfying to see art gradually improve). As for the baseball aspect, I was pretty impressed. It did not get too complicated that I could not keep up, but I could still tell that the manhwa-ga knew their stuff. Overall, I think it’s a decent read. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to read it in one night
