Honestly I didn't find this manhwa super exciting but the story was engaging enough that I finished it. Also the art was beautiful. I'm glad that

the girls got a happy ending

and its rare to see a GL with such a complex story (I feel like a lot of them are just about ordinary students). I found the love interest a little one dimensional at first but I really like how she was fleshed out towards the end. In general, it was also a little slow for this kind of story. Shim Chong's father is a massive ableist stereotype which is a shame. But overall I enjoyed it and it was a worthwhile read.
