The art is simple, but yet really beautiful. It's all color, so obviously a lot of work has gone into making it. The coloring may be inconsistent at times, but who's really looking hard at the difference from one frame to another, right? The work that's put into it is amazing. The lines are clean. Very good on the eyes. To be honest, after reading quite a lot of manhwa, I have developed this stereotype of "manhwa art" --some of you might know what I'm talking about; a lot of manhwa has this specific type of art that's very angle-ly and a lot of emphasis on length. Even though this is a manhwa, the art is different from most manhwa I have read so far. It's sooooo much better!!
The whole romance thing is really interesting!! The heroine is super lovable. She is all that I love in a character. It's funny as hell, too. Haha!! The awkward silences are so well timed. It's perfect. I'm reading it right now as I typed this out. I cannot get enough of it so I end up reading all that's available in one go.
The romance is the center of the plot. At first, I did not see how the romance can ever develop between the two. The beginning part was more about the mystery of the guy. The heroine is not interested (in denial or otherwise) in the guy until ..hmmm.. way later on. But even though the actual romance develops slowly, there's so much of other stuff to keep you occupy. The romance is realistic; not the whole love-at-first-sight in shojo manga. The characters are deep; they have their own lives. The heroine is incredibly perceptive and sensitive, so she observes others very well. As a result, first person point of view is a breeze since seeing the world through the perceptive heroine's eyes showed us a lot of what's going on in the story. (It's not all 1st pov, of course (that would be too limiting)).
Updated: I just finished reading the latest chapter of the "2nd season," chapter 60--and I'm currently in love with this male protagonist. Technically, there seems to be 2 male leads now. It might turn into a love triangle later (spoiler, but not really). The male protagonist is so deep. Mysterious, a bit twisted and dark, but oh so interesting!! He's not one dimensional, that's for sure. I don't know what he's thinking and I don't know this type, so I can't predict what he's gonna do at all!! This makes for a very exciting romantic drama.
I really recommend this manhwa for people who want to get out of the typical shojoesque (sorry, using japanese term here) manga.
