Pretty good

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I really liked the beginning, the plot is very unique and creative. The art is also beautiful and has old shoujoish feeling. In the middle it started to drag a little, but it's understable since the first season was the shortest and the second and the third were longer, especially third which was like half of the entire series.

However, I dislike what they did to Jiho to make the

poly ending come true. That madness with Road's wish... It felt to me like they became a one character, twins or just clones. Especially at the last two chapters, when they started to share their bubble speeches and say the same thing. The ending was also weird, I'd end it when Jiho agreed to that relationship, not do some speedy run with that dating scandal, cartunese and other aliens from totally not known before planet...

I also liked characters, all of them to be honest. However, Hayeon was my favourite.

Despite some issues I had with this series, I'd definitely recommend, because it's one of the kind and the art and plot are very different from what you can usually find in korean webtoons.

Great Commentary on Gender Identity/LGBTQ+ representation

Rating: N/A

I've never read a series quite like this one. If you'd like to understand more about gender identity, and societal flaws regarding gender equality, I highly recommend this. And while these are heavy topics, they were illustrated with a lot of empathy and written in a way that made sense within the context of the story. They never felt out-of-place or pushy for the sake of being preachy. It's so rare to see these issues taken seriously and appreciate the amount of thought that went into this story and the characters it represents.

However, despite it being an insightful read, I did have an issue with the excessive exposition throughout the entire series. For most of the story's conflicts, there are paragraphs and dozens of back-to-back comment threads just to illustrate the social climate of netizens and k-pop fans. At first this narrative style made a lot of sense, but towards the end I couldn't bring myself to read them through. It was disappointing because the subjects were still thought-provoking but were made to be a bit exhausting and redundant.

The plot itself was quite slow and focused more on character progression and reaching revelations more than anything else - though there were some plot twists, tragedy, and actiony sci-fi elements sprinkled in throughout that I really enjoyed, especially towards the end of it. As for the ending, I will give a mild warning that it was a bit unconventional (just like the entire story) and might not be everyone's cup of tea, though I think it was still satisfying enough.

Overall, this was an empowering read for those with an open mind and a love for strong female leads! Recommended.

Amazing

Honestly I was not expecting much, but this really surprised me. This was the best manwha I read in months. Really everyone should give this a read. It’s very touching and manages to show many important subjects that are rarely discussed in this type of media (although I’m not very familiar on this topic, I think this manwha really helped me understand it more).

The love between the MC and her past love was especially tragic, I cried when I read those chapters ngl, and I rarely cry when reading manwha.

Basically this is a manwha that shows serious subjects (while not seeming too preachy) and also having an intriguing plot that can be very depressing. It’s beautiful, such a masterpiece!

It is both educational and extremely fun to read, honestly it’s so good just go read it!
