Ooooh! Love to read hate to love plots done right haha! Seo Hyunsoo lives the straight and narrow with the work mantra, "I do my best at work." He works for a fashion magazine company, and is top of the line in his work; he is the current manager of the department. He has heard about the other manager for one of the branches, the mysterious Baek Youngchan; he is said to be the department's ace, and is a mythical figure in the City Casual fashion company. To his surprise, he meets him one day...and finds that he hates him. Little does he know that a storm is in his path; this is the path to true love and an end to singledom...and he'll be kicking and screaming about it on the way there. 10/10 for a solid start, cute characters, and beautiful artwork. Edit: I feel like Baek is a shady character; I'm not sure what to make of him, or the situation. I feel like there's a lot of weird communication issues; I feel like they could have just made Baek more transparent, and there wouldn't be such weird tension around everything. ~Chapter 10
