Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I remeber there is translation availbale online for the remaining chapters. I hope someday when I feel like reading it again its completely scantalated.

I love the trio. The FL is relatable and how she tries navigating her problems. I love the chemistry between the three and the drama is delicious! Not over the top ><

I've read countless of stories, this one is definitely different! It was definitely a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I can't predict the ending. I love the three characters— i think I'd be happy regardless of whoever ends up with who.

Emotional Coming of Age

by YuriTachikawa

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

First of all, this is not a BL, while it does exist as a subtext the focus is on relationships in our adolescence. I really loved all the characters, they had personalities full of duality and the relationships with friends, lovers or aquaintances were explored in their facettes.This depth of portraying definitely made the story come of as realistic and natural. Though the plot device may have been too dramatic, it's the actions and development of the characters that were in the foreground, which let us have many beautifully written monologues. There were some subplots and side-characters which I felt were unnecessary and have only been there to add to the drama. A definite plus are the unusual MCs, not eccentric, not cliched, but weird in a realistic way and they work together. Whatever outcome I may have wished for, the ending couldn't have been resolved any more beautifully, even if the path was painful, filled with fluff and yet again painful. All in all it's a story I can relate to. All those thoughts and worries discussed in here, were definitely a topic at least once, when it was around the time of graduation. Choices concerning your future, becoming independent, letting go of friends and setting priorities. The answers are uncertain but just like in "That Summer", even after we have made a decision there a still endless possibilities.

TL;DR: this was such an emotional ride y'all and I'm willing to ride it again; I want them to be happy forever!!!

Unusual but utterly captivating storyline

by LingFei

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

As mentioned by several comments below- this story is neither a typical BL nor shoujo story. What it is though is an amazing slice of life manhwa with compelling and multi-layered characters, the kind of situations that are meaningful and realistic with characters behaving as normal people would (except for YW's handsomeness, very few other characters are hotties, the main leads are not hot-shots, i-get-top-marks-in-everything kinda people but regular ones like us who have to struggle through life's ups and downs.
A must-read!

For the not-too-big-a-fan-of-BL

by sasxxitaga

Tbh I'm not a BL fan but this manhwa is really neat. I like the story, the plot, the characters. There's hate and love. For a change, the female MC isn't the type to be blushing or dying out of nervousness all the time. She's confident and strong and REALISTIC. I think this manhwa relates a lot to real life. Like how it actually works. There are characters whom you will absolutely hate and then there are characters you'll adore. That's life. You don't love everyone. You don't hate everyone. Girls don't turn tomato red around their crushes. Also Yoo Won is really hot ehehe~ he's real smooth. In addition, the translator's notes in this manhwa is something worthy enough to be mentioned. It takes the manga a step higher in humour.

One of my favorites.

I know there are readers who are just looking for BL or shoujo, but I hope you can disregard the genre (step out of the box for once) and just try it out. Before reading, I was honestly expecting this to head in one direction or the other like a typical webtoon/manga. Its actually kind of unpredictable, and as a result, very fun to read. Rather than focusing on developing one romantic relationship, the story is spread out and appropriately divided in developing each main character and their relationships with each other/side characters. A character that initially seemed rude/sassy becomes pitiful or one that was mysterious/manipulative turns out to be greatly misunderstood. I tend to read more shounen ai or BL, but I can say for sure that I'll be satisfied with whatever outcome in this webtoon. At this point, I honestly want it to be a polyamorous relationship because either route will leave me with fists clenched.
Usually, I leave a lot of critiques in my reviews so I can remember details, but I'm surprised that I have nothing bad to say about this webtoon.

Edit: I'm coming back after finally finishing this webtoon, and I am very pleased with the outcome. It was a delight to read, and I loved all of the characters so much. This is the type of webtoon that I wish would be adapted into a k-drama.

Incredible and super recommended

by Shimma

I love this webtoon.
The characters are realistic and interesting, in a character driven kind of story.
Jumi is a normal student, some might even say she is plain at first, which I agree, but she doesn't need to have a Haruhi Suzumiya personality to be a good character.
She is normal, sweet and nice girl who gets to be in the middle of two attractive boys, but they seem to be gay say so its REFRESHING. Their interaction isn't force, and you will be wanting to know more about them.

Its really interesting the ambiguos feeling the webtoon gives, and how the author doesn't give us a definite answer on wheter this is shojo, or if only BL type. It keeps you constantly wondering. And this comes from someone who isn't into bl stuff.

The character desing improves a lot, its so nice.

It's new

First the first time, as a fujoshi, I wasn't cheering for two guys to end up together. Yes the love isn't 100% new, but it's refreshing. To see how love with grow between two guya and a girl, with the guys being interested in each other. If the love for them had deepen in any other way, I wouldn't had rooted for the female lead anymore; but she was just lovely and I just had to root for her. I love how the storyline is going and still don't know whats really going to happen if the story continues. I wish for happiness for all the character regardless and hope the story doesn't get ruined.
