Description
"If you were a girl, we would never have met."
"Well- to...to be honest with you- I AM a girl-"
Plain when she is a girl, but HOT when she is a guy.
Choi Ida wants no more then to relieve her stress and anger when she is off work as the alternative identity Yodah, due to the pressure of being Mimi's slave at both school and home.
One day in the park, free from Mimi, she meets Kang Naru, who kisses her as Ida, not as Yodah (her male self).
Despite thinking that Yodah is a guy, Naru falls in love with her.
But when Mimi finds out about Ida's secret identity, she threatens to tell Naru if Ida doesn't break up with the flower boy. What will she do when both of her lives are at risk?

Generic cliches and flaws

Ditto to the comment below. Though many of these manhwas have pretty interesting plots and characters, it's never enough to make a truly good story. And this is no exception to the numerous psycho characters, bullies, poor/rich hardships, and lucky plain-looking cinderella protag. And of course, lots of unrealistic violence and jjangs.

Like mentioned, the story is interesting and I read it all the way through in one sitting to see how it ended. And yes, you can pretty much predict it from the start - keeping in mind things wont be outside the box this time. I did like that at some points all that painstaking time payed off with big chunks of satisfying just deserts. And it ended very happy, not bittersweet. But that's all I got from the story. Just something to keep from being bored. The romantic premise* is poor. The main character looks like a girl in both her forms. Her love interest confused me. I feel like his background is extremely vague and it's hard to even know what kind of person he is, or if he really likes her for her*. The bullying was horrible but underplayed. And of course you have to have one disgustingly cruel antagonist. In this case it's Mimi, the rich daughter that crosses the line with mind games and more*. There is only one good character in this story and his name is Shinah. If he wasn't there I probably would have dropped it. He makes pretty much everything in the story better and he's a little less stereotypical.

*More specifically:
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
*I thought the main character was kind of stupid in regards to her love interest. She was so blindly in love that she didn't care if she hurt him and never saw him again just so that he wouldn't dislike her. What's the point if they never even see each other again? Also, he laughs at her in her girl form and looks down on her multiple times. Why do you even like him. Smh. *And most importantly, I hate manhwas that underplay psychopaths. Nobody should get away with almost killing someone and forcing rape on another. If Mimi could potentially kill people without much more than a cackling laugh, she needs to go to jail or a metal ward.


Ok I'm done with my ranting. If you want a really good story, not just one that's a little interesting on the surface, I don't recommend this.

Like all the Hwang MiRi this manhwa has a stable, interesting concept. While it's interesting to read, it's really cliche and well, predictable. You got the usual brave, tomboy girl and that cool guy that looks cold but has a warm heart. It's just really, really simple.

And the art wasn't really my cup of tea. I didn't find it attractive or stylish, but at least it's unique to Hwang MiRi and that, I think that counts for something.

If anything it was a shoujo but I don't think it can earn any more credit than that. Just a really exaggerated, and common shoujo. It was alright, but it wasn't anything I would get hyped for.

OMG the ending!!

I liked this series right up to the end. I thought that the story was good. Some of the comments were a bit harsh, but I guess I can see where everyone was coming from.

First off I should say that I loved the art. I thought that it was really good I loved the characters but Junah was my favorite because he was the most real (to the way he felt). I did like Naru's fiery personality as well. What I found annoying was Ida's personality. I loved her as Yodah, but as Ida she sucked. I just didn't get why she took so much crap from people in her "female" form. I understood her need for both personalities, but they're both her so wth man?

And lets talk about the ending.. WTH was that?! I mean really couldn't you have ended the story better. I'm still waiting for the next chapter with the real ending..

A Decent Read

I enjoyed this manhwa, which is unusual because I can't normally get through the first few chapters of Hwang Mi Ri's works (not to mention that I'm not a huge fan of manhwa in general). I love gender-bender stories, so that was a huge plus for me, and I think that it worked out fairly well in this story (although not perfectly). A couple of the plot developments, especially near the end, left me exasperated, but not so much that I wanted to stop reading.

I loved the romance in this story, but I found myself wishing near the middle that the story would focus more on Ida and Naru rather than on Ida and other characters.

I kept thinking of Love in the Mask while I was reading this, and the two are very similar in some ways. This manwha is a lot lighter, however, and it doesn't drag out. I like the art in this manwha better than the art in Love in the Mask and, overall, I enjoyed the progression of the story more. In my opinion, there was nothing in the story that was gripping, deep, or overly exciting, but if you're looking for something to pass the time you should give it a shot.

the story didn't interest me, I just looked scanned through it and I already knew whats going to happen, I also realized the main girl's hair color is always like colored while the guy she ends up with always have black hair its in almost all her mangas now. At the beginning, it was unique and it started out strong but towards the middle everything just seemed rushed

Nah , I found my self scanning through this mostly . it just wasn't my type nd the description kinda deceives u, its totally different to what I thought it would be in a bad way. Ok basically the conclusion (end) suucks, (as what the majority of people said). The whole cross dressing thing wasn't the typical type were ur okay with it and it still manages to be romantic and even though the girl is cross dressing u still feel that she is a girl and a good looking one at that but . .. , in this it was the exact opposite , no attention was paid to the girls beauty even if she was a girl and dressed up for am occasion she litually remained the same throughtout nd when she wad cross dressing I actually felt like she was a man-ie gut which I found to be quite disturbing ,towards the end main female character. . .?? she had some weird change over 2 chapters nd it was a discusting change she was basically crossdressing again but just wearing a skirt , how sick nd she got a boyfriend how ?? juust so unrealistic !! The whole thing suucked overall I hated it nd for me from the beginning , i read the comments on here before hand and I new id be another one writtin a bad review , I was a humanbeing as well and decided to ignore this I would say don't waste your time but there's no point Ur still gonna go ahead and be a normal humanbeing and read it anyway.its perfectly fine we all have our own opinions but in this case the bad ones win .

HORRIBLE. that sums up this whole manhwa. Do not waste your time. Only stupid people who enjoy stupid over rated manga/manhwa like this (no offense). If you like things that don't have much of a story, have flat characters, and like typical shoujo stuff then i guess you'll llike this. Or maybe if you're 11 or 12 years old.

If you're not, stay away. This is typical Hwang mi Ri work ..basically MESSY, sloppy, cliche and horrible.

The series is pretty good depending on what you are looking for. It's a light read and a good love story. Plus, I really love gender bender so this story was interesting. The characters can be tiresome because they are pretty cliche. At some points you're thinking that it's not even possible to be that evil or that the writer is just trying to beat into your head certain information. For a light read it's good, especially if you're wanting a love story. The end is extremely abrupt and things are left wrapped up a little too neatly. All and all, it was sweet though.

it was an ok read. started out great but kinda fizzled out towards the end. but as a light read its fine.
characters are kinda cliched. the female lead had a stong start, wish she had more fight scenes though cos towards the end, even when dressed as a guy she was being waaay too girly. but at least she didn't get irritating. that's a plus i guess. male lead's kinda really dumb somehow. h's character didnt get much developmeny beyond "ooh what a hottie". wish the author put more into him. shinah, had more character development than the male lead and he's only a secondary character. and i think he was supposed to be cute when he was being all clingy and possessive with the female lead, but he just wasnt childish(?) enough to be cute and make me go "awww". mimi, the main female antagonist is waaay to evil. she's so evil it's cliched. main male antagonist is creepy, lol. kinda disappointed junah didnt get much action in the series. the femal trio gang in the female's lead school provided some entertainment though. so did the teacher, lol. wanted to kill the fatty though XD
didn't like how the manhwa just kinda ended abruptly either.

won't give it an overly low rating cos it did entertain me. if you just want something light to read and don't mind cliched, kinda underdeveloped characters, ths manhwa is fine. XD
