I wasn't very impressed by this one. The romance was well done, but the story line could have used some work. Shi-Hyun is convinced she's bad luck, but we don't get to actually see any instances of this. There are a couple of past events that happened, which is why everyone thinks she's bad luck, but there is nothing that happens in the present-day of the story to prove that she really is bad luck. This is the only problem I really had with the story, but it's a big one since it shapes everything that happens. There are some quite funny moments that made me smile, but there was nothing incredibly exciting.

The artwork is pretty good. There were a few characters I kept getting mixed up because of their similar appearances, but that's all the problem I had with it.

Overall, however, I think there are much better manga series to spend your time reading. I don't have much of an urge to read the rest of the series because I didn't connect with the story or the characters all that much.

Cute enough. The art is off. This is apparently E-Jin Kang's first published manhwa and you can tell due to the art and the pacing which is entirely too fast. I didn't really feel introduced to anyone. There's nothing too new in this set-up. Unpopular but tough girl and highschool drama, though Shi-Hyun as a character is pretty cute and tough though a tad oblivious. I think her bear face is adorbs. Not too sure if I'll be picking up the second volume, though, as HS antics have never been my thing. I think if you like that kind of story, however, it's definitely worth a looksee.

I read it in less than a half hour. Now I am addicted and need to find the rest of the books 😂

its not one of my favs. its a little .... confusing i mean i like that she has an unknown past, someone from past who loves her and somebody shes always thought she loved as well as a new comer who doesnt seem to have that much of a chance at the time, but its kinda not fun for me... little funny,little weird but just doesnt pop for me

People think this girl brings tragically bad luck, but does she? I didn't care for this first volume, but I already have no. 2 so I am going to read it and see if it gets any better. Sometimes the first novel of a series is a bit slow but then it gets better. So hopefully we'll see!
