This is such a hilarious story with loveable characters, especially the main character, Sangwoo. To be honest, the male lead, Jaeyoung, is annoying at times; however, his character design is sooo hot.
It is a story of polar opposites (this is like 90% of boy's love stories) at a college setting. This volume is an introduction on how Sangwoo "functions" and how his decision on a certain college project/presentation "ruined" his life.
If it weren't for Sangwoo's personality and the characters' reactions to it, the comedic tone would be down around 60-70%. His EQ is low; hence, he isn't intentionally cruel. If he is, I wouldn't have liked this. Meanwhile, Jaeyoung shares many features with the majority of BL male leads (e.g., arrogance, popularity, wealth, and intelligence); however, his character growth is nice. For the side characters, there are a few standouts, and one of them is Jihye. I would like to add that I am sincerely glad that the author doesn't treat her female characters cruelly. They have their own distinct characteristics and motivations. Also, I don't like love triangles, but it is tolerable here since I love all the parties involved.
The pacing of the romantic and character developments is just right for me.
On to Volume 2!
