This was a decently good webtoon! It's not the best or amazing or anything, but it's a good, simple read. It's incredibly trope-y, which makes sense since I'm pretty sure it's meant to be more of a Y/N story, but I still found it plenty enjoyable. If you just love a vampire and werewolf story then this is decent. I'd almost call this a Sailor Moon-y, vampire x werewolf webtoon perhaps?

Obviously for the fans of EHYPHEN — too many characters to really manage them all; the main character feels Mary Sue-ish

Omg, I think I’ve been reading this since it released on Webtoon (Jan. 15, 2022) 😅 I was reading it pretty regularly every week and then took a bit of a break, but I finally got back into it and it was thrilling to the last episode! Sooha transfers to a mysterious school where both vampires and werewolves end up being drawn to her (you’ll find out who if you read the Webtoon), but the twists and turns are what keeps the story going. I love the chemistry between Sooha and Heli (who is part of a popular boy group at the school - k-pop group Enhypen as the inspiration/storyline to this Webtoon). It left on a note of continuation, so I look forward to seeing what comes out in the future for these characters/this storyline.
