This was a tough read as the characters were pretty unlikeable.  For the majority of the book I was rooting for them to improve themselves but they mostly wallowed in self pity or allowed their egos to completely over-inflate. Their friend group was toxic and envious and really just made me sad. It felt by the end like not much was learned or gained. Women were pretty much a sidenote or objectified; there was a lot of cringey/problematic behaviour towards them from the men and they weren't given much personality aside from Seonghui. I wanted it to be better than it was.
