It gives me the same dopamine I get from watching terrible reality television shows. Except I am also given 2 people to root for, the protagonists! Usually in reality tv i find it hard to believe any of them, but that's not a problem in fiction. I am glad this scratches the same itch.

I may adjust my ranking as the series progresses.

This is very much a standard getting revenge after being cheated on kind of story on its surface, but there are enough glimpses of future character development to be intriguing. The art is beautiful, and the story is entertaining enough if you enjoy the genre.
I haven't fully decided how I feel about the pacing yet, but again, all the basics of story-telling are solid. The motives of the different characters are pretty clear, though it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone is on their best behavior. I do wish there was more relationship development with the new couple, but I'm not shocked since the entire premise is that they're doing all this because they can't move on. That said, there is enough foreshadowing that the whole revenge scheme is going to blow up in their faces, and I am looking forward to that. My final note is that the female lead is probably the most likable character, so if you don't like her, you probably won't like this story.
