4.5 Too shorttttttt! Love the author, the story, the art. Everything is just *chef's kiss*... I wish it would be longer. I really want this author to write a 50+ chapter story, I'm sure it would still be amazing. So yeah, I can't give 5/5 for 3 chapters but I genuinely enjoyed the hell out of this. The walls are thin and it's hard not to know what your neighbor is up to especially when they cry loudly every time they watch a movie.

The first season was avarage, the art was pretty but could get confusing esp. bc it wasn't colored and the characters rlly have "same face syndrome". I literally told them apart by hairstyle. It also had some pacing issues but it was still an enjoyable read imo. I loved the second season, at first I thought it was because of the couple change but I actually prefer Ian and Jaeho (main couple) to any other pairing by quite a lot, so idk what it was, I feel like the pacing improved and the color really somehow elevated this manhwa (even if I typically don't care about that) I thought it would be 4 stars after this but they unfortunately dragged it out to long towards the end with all the children and marriages, I almost skipped over it. (main issue was the lacking of plot elements and conflict, they only had so much for the premise so the last chapters felt rather empty) Down to 2.8 for me because of that but I'll have fond memories of it for sure. Also Ian has got to be one of the prettiest MCs ever like wow. ‘Ro Jaeho' and 'Joo Ian' are the sons of Alpha families who are sworn enemies. However, their little brothers 'Joo Jihwan' and 'Ro Miho' are in a relationship...? Ian joins Miho and Jihwan's holiday in America and meets Jaeho there by chance. There is a strange tension in the air between the two older brothers... "Joo Ian, you... You didn't use to smell like that before!"
