Dabin is the daughter of Seoul's most powerful crime boss. She has a crush on Eugene, who works for her father. Eugene thinks of her as a little sister, though. After Dabin transfers to Eugene's school to be closer to him, she comes across Shihu, the son of her father's enemy. Is he the worthless creep she initially thinks he is, or could there be more to him that that?

Kind of a fun story, and I liked that Eugene and Shihu both had good points without one of them degenerating into a "bad guy." I need to read volume 2 to find out what happens next.

Dabin Choi is the daughter of Seoul's most powerful crime boss, and daddy's little girl has the hots for Eugene, the son of one of her father's 'friends'.

There's just one problem: Eugene isn't into Dabin. In fact, he thinks of her more like a little sister. (The kiss of death!) To make matters worse, Dabin's new classmate is none other than the son of her father's long-time rival. Soon, everyone at school begins playing power games that would make their fathers proud!

Just a normal love triangle of teens. but i love it! haha

This was a quick, fun read. I wasn’t sure about this before but I want to continue on with this series.

It was a cute and quick read but it was hard to enjoy with an annoying main character.

Dabin Choi is rough, tough, and a total tomboy and by the way she acts it would be pretty easy to guess that she's the only daughter of the head of the biggest mafia gang in Korea. But every girl, no matter how tough, is still a girl on the inside, and Dabin has the hugest crush on Eugene- her childhood friend and her daddy's subordinate. But the problem is that he still thinks of her as a little sister!
In hopes of changing the way he looks at her from sister to robust young lady, she transfers to his high school! But on her very first day, not only is she late but she runs into Shihu Myoung- her other childhood friend and enemy of her father! If her daddy ever found out that Shihu is her classmate she can kiss her dreams of having a peaceful school life with Eugene goodbye. But Shihu is already making her every day a living hell. What is a girl to do?!

The reason why I really liked this manga (or graphic novel? Since it's Korean I'm not entirely sure what to call it) is because of the sense of exuberance and youth it portrays. Dabin is such an exciting character (although I have the feeling that I will easily grow tired of her) and the way she interacts with Shihu and Eugene is just hysterical. If I were to choose which one of these two boys she would best end up with I would say it would have to be Shihu. Not because he's more desirable (because those two are more of the types I'd rather watch than interact with) but because Dabin is most herself when she is with him. As with Eugene, she fakes way too much to get him to fall for her. Although that is a factor in what makes this story so interesting! This was one of the first manga/graphic novels that had me wanting to read a second volume soon after I finished the first. It's one that isn't so great once you put it down, but it really sticks with you, you know?!

Duh... mungkin ceritanya mungkin bagus kali ya. Tapi gambarnya jelek, bikin gak nafsu baca. Ya aku tetap baca sampai habis sih.. tapi ya jadinya kesannya biasa aja buatku. Gak ada yang istimewa. Gambarnya sukses merusak nuansa ^^; (huhuhu kenapa ya aku gak pernah bisa suka komik Korea)

I'm not really into Manga but I think this was a pleasant unexpected find. I enjoyed reading about the brats of Korean Mafia.
