I liked Naru, but I think his character's development lacked in some aspects... I really had a crush on Shinah, though. He's good-looking, smart, and a gentleman. I was turned off when he let Juhi (the tutor) kiss him as she liked though, even if he claims he liked Ida since before. He's not good at fighting like Naru, and he seems to be a sadist/dominant male character, but if he were to be sincerely in love with me (and wouldn't even give others chance to flirt with him), then he's someone I'd really like to have. :p

Ch22

Too rushed. Had potential but underdeveloped..

Ahh, sooo cute! This manhwa's adorable because the MCs are both naive and slow. I also liked how Yoomin was really faithful to Hana, and Hana was understanding about Youngsun despite putting her up with a lot of bad things. About the issue of two-timing, if we look at it clearly, she didn't really two-time, since they broke up after she was kidnapped. Of course, she just assumed that they were still together and Yoomin was only acting up since she already figured him out mostly. But it's good that Yoomin was clear to himself that she's his subordinate at the moment and not his gf. Speaking of feelings, their love was mutual, so when she agreed to go out with Miyoo out of fear, it may be seen as two-timing, but not really. Well, at least she was aware of it. I'm glad she thought of Yoomin as her bf though, and didn't intentionally break up with him after seeing how he truly was when they're together. About the forced kiss which was caused by a drug Miyoo gave Hana, I would've liked to see more details. I wish Miyoo or Youngsun made it clear to both Hana and Yoomin about that incident. Luckily, since Yoomin thought they weren't even dating at that point, he didn't even had the right to get mad like that. Anyway, a guy like him is just too precious and adorable, but he could also be a pain in the a** since he tends to ignore things he didn't want to believe in. Oh, and I would've wanted Hana to realize the real meaning of Yoomin's "bullying" about her butt. Haha. Okay, for Youngsun, she's honestly scary in a way that she let Hana experience pain not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. I think Hana was well aware of her evil antics but still went along with her because she liked having her with her. Anyway, I'd say Seo Yoomin has just become one of my fave HMR male characters. Okay, so he slapped her once, despite being uncontrollably wild and violent. That was after he witnessed the heartbreaking scene of seeing her kiss Miyoo and had himself get beaten to feel pain. He was too miserable that he just had to slap her to hurt himself more. He's too naive though, and he definitely has a prince syndrome. Well, it's good enough that he was not a playboy or flirt. That's just a big plus. haha.

late marking. read long time ago, not sure if I'll re-read anytime soon. [translations seem on indefinite hiatus] I skimmed the raws for the remaining chapters and though they become happy in the end, I feel like I'm not very satisfied with how things ended up for Ji Wu (who's actually Jio/Gio when romanized). I'm glad that thhe sister Cha Ye Rim took interest in him, but I would've wanted to know more about him too. It's too sad that his 10-year unrequited love was not reciprocated, but if Ye Rim could've loved him better, then that's good. I disliked how Cha Gong Myeong was vague about his feelings for both Aram and Nan Hui.. Like, Nan Hui raised her hopes when Gong Myeong told her he likes her for real now, but his reaction towards the phone charm that Aram gave him just made her realize that perhaps he's still in love with her. Even when she tried to deny it and delude herself in the happiness in front of her, she just had to make him choose when Jae Ha broke up with Aram on her birthday. She asked Gong Myeong to stay with her, and if it's necessary for him to take Aram personally when she had a lot of other friends who could've helped. When Gong Myeong insisted that whatever it is with Nan Hui, he'll deal with it later, as the situation calls for immediate care for Aram, not her. Well, I can't blame Nan Hui for wanting to end things like that. It's that feeling, "Will he always run to Aram and leave her when she needs him?" It's like she's not his priority at all. I hated his cowardice. Sure, it's not easy to forget or be indifferent to someone you loved for 5 years, but is it really worth it to hurt your special someone for that person? Can you really just keep on relying that he/she will understand it anyway? That's not easy at all, bro. You need to be insensitive.

hmm nothing really special. would've liked to see more character development. i mean, what's with Haru's character? she's just basically there. would've liked to see more of her present personality aside from constantly chasing after Dongha.
