Read this webtoon on my phone to reduce doom scrolling and ended up scrolling my way through all 223 episodes. The art is really well done, and the characters are memorable. I learnt quite a bit about the Korean culture like their obsession with beauty, how K-Pop stars aren't allowed to date (?!), and sweet habits like introducing themselves by telling their age, and how all Asian mothers are basically the same.

very cuuuuuuuute but so cliché and absolutely has the material for a k-drama though i've not seen the adaptation yet. will be continuing with this as episodes come out! definitely not the most original plot and it has an infinite amount of issues but also very good points that are addressed especially in context of south korea. 

honestly i'm really only reading it for the romance and the art, since there is no originality whatsoever to the plot, the love triangle is honestly making my head ache and the environment jugyeong has to be in is not really the healthiest. this has to mean perfect k-drama material, right? 

i've added a lot of content warnings since it has a lot of tropes used and it is a very long plot as it's been in the works for years. the art is beautiful and the banter can be really funny at times, which, for me, is a saving grace to this webtoon.
