This one annoyed me the most and I’m officially quitting. I kept waiting for the webtoon to actually say something meaningful like the drama did but no, it just continues on with more vapid, shallow content about the MC only valuing looks. Not just her own, but others’ too. The fact that her sister understands that it’s not cool for Seojun to constantly neg her but the MC doesn’t have a problem with it is just one of the many issues with this series.

To top that off, at least the drama had Suho and Jugyeong start dating before he left to be with his father. The webtoon doesn’t even do that. I can’t see the point of all that build up for no pay off. It’s not a slow burn, it’s a burn that fizzled out before it really started.

Then we have the time jump, which I hated in the show, as well. At least the show seemed to use it better. The webtoon does a complete 180 turn on Jugyeong’s personality. Suddenly, she’s not in make up school, she drinks heavily all the time and gets sloppy drunk so her friends have to take care of her (annoying) and yet somehow Seojun is still into her. I don’t get it. She’s not particularly smart, funny, or charming in the webtoon so what is it the guys see in her? I truthfully don’t get it. Maybe the drama just works better because the actress was so charming and personable? And also because they showed her being thoughtful and kind and she actually had meaningful relationships outside of the men in her life.

Reading this was like a never ending, extremely boring version of Episodes.

I cannot understand anyone reading 200 chapters of this. I literally can’t understand it. I’m stopping here because it’s not getting any better and I’ve just about reached the end of what the drama covered.

At this point it has become too tropey. Leaving after confessing love? ✅ Second lead selflessly staying beside the protagonist and loving her endlessly? ✅ I guess I can't take it anymore:((
Also, Suho was in another country, not another universe. Why couldn't he call her? It's annoying and present in almost every kDramas that people leave for another country and then get vanished. Uggh.

Loved the premise, but I stopped reading it about six months back.
I only kept reading it that far because the artwork is stunning.

The characters do not develop or mature with time. They get more and more irritating as the story fails to progress.

It is unfair to the other creators that the author makes millions out of this crap.
