Miscommunication but Dongyeon and Jingeon are so cute.
Heeseo is very lucky despite being very stupid.
If Heeseo wasn't so stupid he wouldn't have complicated everyone's lives.

the story is cute but overly convoluted and the drama could be solved instantly if any of them actually just said what they thought. It would have been nice to have the tangles ironed out quicker and then see them navigating the relationship... i think that's a missed opportunity. All that said i have never loved the aesthetics of a character as much as Jingeon. he is stunning!!!

Not for everyone

It took me ages to finish that manga as I dropped it a few chapters in when it first came out. The premise of dating your friend's crush knowingly upset me a lot but I kept running into it so hoped for the best.
I would have preferred that over what it's actually about which was about someone using their friends and actual crushes feelings because he was insecure instead of honest, creating a series of misunderstandings that in the end were forgiven way too easily.
It's not the worst but it just makes me bitter.

I loved it. SO FUNNY I LAUGHED SO HARD. The title speaks for itself the whole definition of the plot. The way the author used the misunderstanding was genius. I recommend it just don't take it seriously its a comedy. I can't believe some people didn't get the story.
Plot of the story:
↔️⤴️↕️↩➡️↪↩🔁⬅️⬇️⤵️⬇️⤵️🔃🔄🔀

the manhwa already ended but the misunderstanding didn't 😌 < exaggerated >
main couple: Mc is a younger seme. so cute. they started very casual. fell hard for each other

3.side couple: top x top 🤣🤣. touchy clingy top (love it 🫣).

fr tho, I love this one. it's short. it's complicated but its fun to read. this is a breath of fresh air after a series of *ehem bl manhwas 😌. worth rereading.
title should be "We are All Mistaken" 🤣🤣

Amusing but good drama

Ridiculous and convoluted, the lack of communication is completely absurd. If you like stories that focus on miscommunication or misunderstandings, then you will love this one.

There are two main couples (when are there not?) In this story. The first is the primary couple Jingeon and Dongyeon, the secondary couple is Heeseo and another guy introduced later. The couple pair off fairly quickly, but there a bunch of unnecessary angst and guilt over having feelings for someone they aren't "supposed" to be with.

But of course, it's all ok because it was actually all planned out, minus the communication required for the plan to work effectively. It all resolves itself fairly easily by the end, and everyone seems to get a happily ever after.

The art stays fairly reliable, nice and easy on the eyes. Characters are likeable, funny, and have different personalities and motivations rather than being two dimensional.
