it was overall melancholic as afredo yearns for julia while being engaged to esperanza. 

i think it subverts the theme of cheating i've seen in filipino tv series wherein it's perpetuated and glorified.

although, the prose is not much to my taste; there are words that are too flowery and unnecessary.

but overall, it was a reflective read.

crap. where do i find a nerdy, hot, and considerate guy like jeongheon? probably after i dug my grave. 

one of the best romcom manhwa i've read for a while. seeing the development of their relationship from enemies to lovers, dabi recognizing her faults and red flags and correcting those, and the good balance of comedy, drama, romance, and smut. 

i've had read it in a day. whew.

probably my least favorite installment.

it started compelling, but the pacing toward the ending was quick... it made me feel like i'm missing a lot with just how the story progressed.

hoi, may natutunan naman ako: dapat lumandi ako nang maaga para may experience na ako sa pagtanda.

ebarg naman ako jan. but anyways!

it was just very light read! spoiler, 'wag bubuksan kung 'di pa nabasa, balakajan! 
both of the protagonist started their path in a messy way, ghosting phase, then fl starts (unknowingly) a relationship with the ml's roommate, fl breaks up with the guy because she's not really feeling it, she rekindles a friendship with ml, it doesn't work out because it's their first time and they started fwb when they first met, aaaaand as for the ending, the scene reenacts their first meeting and starts over again for a relationship—but now in a healthy way.


as an nbsb girlie, this gave me insights on having first relationship. it really does take a lot of work and experience. love should make you feel alight, not anxious! it takes trust and faith.
