actually insane how obsessed i am with them and this story. admittedly sometimes i felt the deductions were reaches, but its a blip in how well written it is. the interpersonal relationships is its strong point, in my opinion, not just between the two protagonists, but between all the side characters. interactions between moneypenny and moran, bond and moran, louis and albert, fred and jack, etc was all so well done that it didn't feel like their entire lives only revolved around will. it was cool to have william die for a bit to see the dynamics of the group without him, and while they grieved strongly, i liked that they could keep going for the sake of a new goal (excluding moran and albert). kind of upset we didn't see more domestic sherliam aside from that one apartment scene, but hopefully part 2? i wish they'd go back to living together again or interact more, bc we've only seen one scene where they fight together. now they're not enemies anymore, i'm so much more excited. overall it was such a good story and i will keep thinking about them until my next manga obsession

they're actually perfect. rivals who don't demean each other, who motivate each other to be their best self, praises the other when they're out of the room, and STILL BICKER WHEN THEY'RE DATING WHILE LOVING EACH OTHER TOO DAMN MUCH! WE WON!! just hope volume 2 will be just as good

FUCKING PEAKKKKK oh god? the way they started out being rivals who respected each other, to being subject to ten years of separation all while longing to see the other person, to trusting each other while being enemies on opposite sides of a war, and then falling in love over the course of time? and rigon and haon are so whipped for each other its hard to say who loves who more. gon buying a whole street in haon's hometown just in case he visited and wanted good food? like he is the standard. this was so well done honestly and the plot was interesting as hell and the female characters were lovely ugh 10/10 chefs kiss

loved it enough to buy the officials on tappytoon haha. first time i love both couples equally; maehwa and jaewon's love was refreshing and original while dalguk and yeonan are the quintessence of the best friends to lovers trope, they really stole my heart. bonus points for an awesome friend group and also i love san so fucking much my favorite character idcidc i want him happy and well. my one gripe is the weird whiplash from how quickly the author switched couples? like in season 1 when maehwa and jaewon JUST confessed we got hit w 5 chapters of guk x yeonan. same thing in season 2 where they have their confession scene and the very next chapter is maehwa x jaewon. i wish the transitions were smoother and sometimes i was hella confused on when we were in a flashback vs the present bc the author sometimes has zero indications lmao. still, it feels like i grew up with them; i first started reading this at 16-17 and now im past their age in university. its bittersweet

webtoons that show character development are so good. i love daun and siwon's relationship and how it never gets boring even when they're officially together. i did not care for hoon and bawoo though bc i really cant stand bawoo's personality and their story had a mediocre HE too, for all the pining Hoon did. bawoo kinda ruined this for me. I suprisingly was really into yujin and that girl's relationship i loveee relationship tropes like that even if i dont like yujin. daun and kyungjin's backstory and development arc was my favorite thing overall abt this webtoon, and kyungjin might have been my fav lol
