Great art - story dragged in the lattter part - and the ending was lackluster  
by Pompina Q

Rating: 7.0  / 10.0
I started reading this and found it really interesting at first, plus the art is great. However at a certain point the story just dragged and I dropped and came back a few months after it ended.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Now let’s talk about all this missed opportunities to make this story more interesting like the telepathic birthstones…this was casually glossed over and eventhough the birthstones play a crucial role in the story we are just meant to accept that they exist.

And the ending? Talk about rushed. All of a sudden we have a 10 year time skip and not only is she still not recognized by his family but she’s ghosted all her friends that proved to be genuine hinting that she’s still biased against wealthy people. And eventhough she has access to the only telepathic birthstones in their world and her friends are involved in all sorts of businesses she’s only a marketing manager at an electronics company!? And at the very end all we get is a promise to ge see his dad to see if they finally get “permission” to marry.


The 7 points are for the art and keeping my interest enough to come back to finish this story.

Just read it

Is it original ? is the ML actually an idiot ? does it matter ?
just read the first free chapters and if you like them you will like the rest as well, I enjoyed it a lot, loved the MC's too.

Also they could have just kept those birthstones in their pockets to completely avoid detection, and those stones are already in contact with their skin, what does adding more skin contact change ? is it one of those 3 finger swipe deals ? it would have made more sense if they kept them in their pockets, but it worked so I'm gonna forgive a little dumbness.

Slow burn

This series is certainly a slow burn, so it's understandable if you drop it because of the first few chapters. But it gets better with its premise.

Classic set up

It has a Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango) trope going, except the ML is nicer. I do feel what sets it apart is how direct the characters are, how the characters show individual strength, and the author keeps you on your toes a bit.

Absolutely loving this series - ML is actually not that dumb

This has been my favorite webcomic for the past few months - to the extent that I will read raws every week without fail and use google translate just to make crude sense of it.

It's adorably wholesome, entertaining, and has beautiful art. The main characters are what really make this something especially enjoyable. They're likable in a very charming, down-to-earth way and have great chemistry together. The female lead is thoroughly and consistently intelligent, and the male lead isn't outright an idiot, but more so naive like an earnest puppy. When he does stupid things, it's funny rather than annoying. The pacing is also probably the best I've read in a while, and I have yet to feel impatient or dissatisfied with both the romance and plot progression. Overall, strongly recommend this one!

Very good characters, story, premise. Overall solid.

This is REALLY interesting. The FL is smart and socially-savvy and the characters are quite realistic. On top of that there is no love at first sight crap, they just start to get along because they need each-other's help.
Even the rival characters have a good contour and are not assholes just because the story needs them to be.

Really interesting premise + refreshing dynamic/FL !  
by goumeizi

Rating: 10.0  / 10.0
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this one! It has a somewhat dystopian element to it; the plot takes place at this remote private school, attended by only the top chaebol kids. The FL gets into this prestigious school despite being poor, which makes for an interesting dynamic btwn her and the other characters (especially the ML). It's a classic outcast set-up, but the FL acts brazen yet level-headed throughout. She acts quite realistically, and is honestly one of the most likable protagonists I've ever encountered. ML is kinda this airheaded jock archetype, but he's got his own charm.

The webtoon seems to be tackling class issues as well, which was quite refreshing from all the one-dimensional cookie-cutter manhwas I've been shredding through. The art is amazing (love the expressions), and the plot seems pretty well-paced for now. Only 15 chapters are translated, but I can't wait to read more!
