4.5

I really enjoyed this manhwa! It's a fairly standard slice of life, high school romance type of story in some ways but it also introduces some interesting elements like

the love rating system and cellphone and the ensuing chaos and mystery surrounding that system

. The art style was consistent and of good quality, the humor was wonderful, and the characters were fantastic, I loved Su-ae, Eunhyeok, and Dohwa so much, and I can't wait to read more about them in a second season. I also really hope the keep up with

the love rating system in the second season somehow even if Su-ae has made a deal with the CEO

.

Overall, a good read!
