It was alright… I wasn’t a fan of how pushy the ML was tho… put I guess he is just the kind of personality that suits the MC so it all worked out!

I love the interaction between the MCs and the other side characters serve their very own purpose as well. It's lighthearted and we can gradually feel the frustration between two of the main characters where they are kinda like playing the push and pull game.

Even so, the best thing is, we are able to understand both of the main character's feelings as they tell it from their point of view in different chapters. And although the art is not all that appetizing, you should still give this a try for their story. It's funny and I had a good laugh too!

So heartwarming

I'm a sucker for friends becoming lovers and pining and angst and all that jazz. But this manhwa also found a way to make it seem fresh. You can truly see the strong friendship between the main characters mixed in with the perfect amount of humor and all they risk to lose if a confession were to go awry.

We start off with a dense Jinwoo and an overconfident Kisub, but we slowly discover that there are more facets to their personalities than just dense or confident. They each have their bouts of insecurity and misunderstandings, but they manage to communicate and not cause too much unnecessary drama (jussst the right amount).

And HOOOOO boyyyy that confession. 10/10 one of my favs. And after their relationship begins, I love how they both try to listen and understand the other's wants and needs. ;u;

I'm not the biggest fan of the second couple.

There were some very harsh words said in the beginning of their relationship. And although Ray as a character is dynamic and fleshed out, Inho is not in comparison. He is like a saint of forgiveness all in the name of love and seemed as if he was added to just pair the spare.

But overall, just watching them go from friends to something more was just so heartwarming. Even the second couple eventually grew on me. An added plus is that it's completely translated on the official site. I was excited to see there was a Roomates 2, but unfortunately it's an entirely different set of characters. I've already grown so attached to the current roommates. ;u;;;;
