this was so damn adorable 😭🥺 absolute peak high school romance!!

[Danny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uy tengo tantas opiniones.
La pareja principal me encanta, tiene mucho potencial, creo que será un muy lindo friends to lovers.
Pero la pareja secundaria no me llama la atención. Lo siento pero me carga pensar que la mejor amiga después estará con el que le gustaba a la prota(?? O sea, entiendo que la prota después lo supera y blabla. Pero siento que deja mucho que pensar el hecho que la bestie se enamore del chiquillo este (que además trató mal en una ocasión a la prota😞)

Bueno, si lo continúo será solo por la pareja principal, pero me da lata pensar que tendré que leer a los otros.

This was soooooo amazing and i love every character so much and its super good. that is so amazing like secret secret

[Monet · Rating 4 out of 5]

jaeha is the standard.

this was such a sweet and wholesome read. but it also reminded me of how lonely i am sometimes. i binged this on valentines day after doomscrolling instagram stories and taking way too many valentines themed quizzes on uquiz.

anyways 4.25⭐️

Very cute. Me quedé con ganas de leer más sobre los otros dos.

This review is for the whole series availible on Webtoon, not just this volume.

I really liked this series! I always say the same about these sort of Webtoons but I guess it's my comfort pleasure.
This is fluff and I love it. I love the main dynamic between Sei and Jaeha, and of course the rest of the characters. I also love how the author is able to portray a wide variety of emotions just with the drawings, I think it's pretty neat. Love the sparkling eyes.

Overall, really enjoyed it. I recommend it if you just want to feel your heart full while reading sonething.

I can’t express how much I LOVE THIS. I was reluctant a first and didn’t think I would like much BUT OMG IT’S SO GOOD!! Doesn’t have much drama, it’s filled with fluff AND the ART. The author really makes such a good progress with her art, I LOVE it. Anyways, this one’s probably my fav manhwa. Aaand totally my comfort webtoon.

I loved this so much. The main characters se-i and jaeha are so cute and their relationship >>>>
This was so endearing and wholesome, kept reading til 4 am and kicking my feet🩷🌸

So overrated, boring, too cliché.

[Kailah May · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was always surrounded by things I just couldn’t get used to. There was a time when I was afraid that I was going to be the only one who would always remain the same and never get used to all those changes happening around me. I always wanted to be a good person to others. But recently, I realized that I had been too ambitious. And you were always by my side through all that. When I’m by your side, I can stop when I’m tired… and I can run even further when I get back up.

You already mattered to me way more than what I wanted since a long time ago. But I wanted to draw the line so that I wouldn’t get greedy. Or better yet… I hoped that a miracle would happen… and you would like me. And so… you came to me like a miracle. I prayed every day that this miracle would last forever, Se-i.

THESE KIDS!!!!

I first read this on Webtoon back in 2023, when it was still ongoing. It’s been more or less three years since then, but the things these characters do to my heart still feel like the first time. Tooth-rotting fluff. A sugar rush in the best way possible. When they get flustered, I catch myself smiling. Their kisses (wholesome as they may be) even make me blush. Se-i and Jaeha… you two are an idealist’s dream come true. I love how supportive they are of each other, how they communicate so openly when tackling family conflicts, and how they equally initiate displays of affection. What a mature pair of highschoolers. Peak romance fr!!

I also love the smooth transition of the art style in tandem with the relationship development. It’s like we really get to see these kids grow over time. My favorite aspect of it is them getting this certain glazed look in their eyes during emotional scenes.

My comfort modern romance manhwa, without a doubt. I can totally see this getting a Kdrama adaptation in the future.

[sam (taylor's version) · Rating 3 out of 5]

tbh there were some parts of the story that i rly liked (jimin's backstory, jimin and yu-eun's slow burn, jaeha's backstory arc) but they were so badly overshadowed by all the moments where the story did fall flat that i found myself constantly waiting for the story to either get more interesting or simply end altogether.

the biggest flaw was the lack of consistent character & relationship development. half the webtoon was sei jaeha fluffy post relationship scenes which just irked me at that point. the fight that caused sei jaeha to drift apart in the first place, perhaps the most interesting & pivotal moment of the entire story, was not elaborated on AT ALL. sei jaeha fell back in love so quick and SO EASILY it was like the author forgot they were supposed to hate each other. for all of sei's quirks and backstory trauma she was.. such a flat character. i just did not connect to her at all. i connected more with jimin who only got 30% screen time.

the story beats were all over the place, the scene flow was patchy, and it did not help that the english translation was just. so. bad! i'm sorry i rly wanted to like this! the three stars are for jimin, the only well written character in this entire webtoon.

[Yan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't like the story at first during the beginning chapters. To be honest, I find Sei dumb and naive. She also relied always on her emotions and didn't think first before deciding on something. She is also crazy to be in a relationship, and I felt that the reason behind that is because she wanted to feel belong and loved. It is just kind of contradicting because she kind of hated how her mom always fell in love easily and could fall out of love easily when she was also the same.
Jaeha might not be expressive like Sei, but you'll know that he is also experiencing some issues by himself. Unlike Sei, he always thinks first before deciding and always thinks about what other people will think or react. But overall, I liked this manhwa and how relationships were portrayed in this story. I also like how the creator showed how each of the characters dealt with their issue. This manhwa is such a heartwarming and entertaining read.

Como no tengo ni idea de hasta donde llega este volumen, haré aproximadamente una review basándome en la primera parte de la historia ✊.

Me empecé este manhwa porque vi que era muy aclamado entre lectoras de romance, diciendo que era muy fluffy, etc.
Honestamente, no voy a negar que en cuanto vi que la protagonista era la típica de “me gusta otro”, me dio un poco de pereza, aún así perseguí 🙏 con la historia. Y damn, no me arrepiento de mi decisión. Si que es verdad que toda la parte de la historia relacionada con un intento de romance entre Se-i y Jimin me ha dado mucha pereza😭. Pero bueno había que soportar, supongo.

Otra cosa que me ha gustado mucho ha sido que no ha habido drama innecesario🙏 POR FIN. Me encanta que los mayores dramas hayan sido cosas como: “me gustas, ¿yo te gusto?”, y cosas relacionadas con ponerse enfermos y tal.

Voy a seguir esta review en el siguiente volumen para evitar spoilers tochos 😃

For some reason I didn’t like the story at first, I kept putting it off for years. The beginning didn’t intrigue me that much but I’m so glad I gave this a chance !!!

The love triangle was PERFECTLY executed, the best one I’ve read. I loved the second couple just as much as the first 🥹

Jaeha and se-im were so adorable I couldn’t get over his red ears

[Massiel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me ha gustado mucho la propuesta de la trama y la personalidad de los personajes, por que, por más qué Jaeha está enamorado de Sei, no lo demuestra como se esperaría jeje.
Y ya shipeo a Jimin con Yueun 🙂‍↕️

[Mijen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This will give you so much butterflies inside your stomach. The story is very light to take, no confusions or complicated situations. The connection between the male lead and female lead made me jump, scream and roll over my bed. MUST READ! Jaeha is now my standard, very green flag! ☘️🌱

[Bib Ian · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's more like a 4.5 for me, only because the 2nd male lead was not my favorite but then he grew on me later. The main leads are so cute and the graphics get better later on. Such a cute youthful romance!

[BellaMystic · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best romance WEBTOONs of allll time. Jaeha’s character development towards Se-i Yun was literally the cutest. Proud to say I was there since the beginning and waited every week. Really enjoyed the sub-characters storylines as well!!

[Ryan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Recommend! Cute story that hit some good emotional highs and lows without getting bogged down in drama. Characters are all likeable. 2nd ML subplot was a bit weak but they didn't dwell on it too long. Art is good esp the colors.
