January 7, 2023Honestly, I loved it until the male lead became so insecure.

This series is also pretty good. The mc is being haunted by this man. She's in college and is constantly being stalked by this guy. While her and her friends are in a restaurant she points at the male lead and says that he's her boyfriend. They have to fake it but they start to fall for each other.

Started with a fake dating and ends up with real relationship. Beautifully showed the ups and down in a relationship. How to solve the misunderstanding and grow up together. It’s just a pure romantic story.
Loved the artworks very much. Quite a journey I must say.

A cute read where they fake date and then fall in love.
The fake dating takes up a surprisingly short amount of the story. Their real relationship and how they sort out adult responsibilities seems to take up more of the story.
Thankfully this doesn't use too much of the poor communication and misunderstandings trope.
The biggest disappointment was how both characters devolves in their confidence. The male lead became incredibly insecure, and the female lead went from very open with her feelings and confessing, to becoming stoic and closed off.
In all, cute read, with some heavy subjects that are glossed over and never mentioned again. (The female lead was trapped in a house for two days by her abusive ex?? Did she not get therapy? I feel like that calls for ongoing therapy!)

it was good until they got together, everything dragged afterwards.

It was great at the beginning... It's a shame the author didn't know how to develop it :( The beautiful drawings don't make up for the lack of organization in the plot, the shallow characters (especially the villains), the lack of development, and the amount of unanswered questions in the end (some characters just disappear, no explanation). It was annoying how instead of real couple conflicts, the protagonists' problem was being too attractive, making everyone desire them, causing jealousy :p
Anyway, the art is really beautiful and there were cute scenes, but it could have ended with half the chapters.

[ongoing series, reading as new episodes come up]
Once more a fake dating, I really liked it in the beginning, but as some issues remain to be unresolved... eh... It also has the worst best friend I ever saw (which I hate...). That said, Ga Eun is an amazing character, so I'm not abandoning the ship yet. (It's just a good relaxing comic, nothing fancy...)

Okay, this was a really entertaining read, but some things made me really mad. I loved most of the characters, and I personally think that Nayong was the most entertaining! The story was good, for the most part. There were some sideplots that confused me, but overall I very much enjoyed reading this.

Es hat so gut angefangen, aber wurde zum Ende hin etwas schwer zu lesen, weil meiner Meinung nach unnötig Drama erschafft wurde :<
Der Zeichenstil ist top!
