I think I've never read anything like this before

by juls91

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This is, like many said, very sweet and romantic. The male lead is one of a kind and the female lead is a great character as well. But what made this story stand out for me was how coherent it was. There was drama and a lot of excitement but every bit of the story felt very real and genuine, the conversations and the way they handled things is how it should be done, without making the story or the characters mechanic, on the contrary it felt very organic and with a great flow.

Read this if you want amazing art, great main leads and supporting characters (I teared up in one part only and it was thanks to Yura's manager lol) and just a lot of good decisions and actions throught out the story.
Lots of happiness without the cheese.

Fluffy Romance

Wholesome, fluffy, feel good story. Not a lot of character depth, but I believe that is the point. It's meant to be a simple, fast, enjoyable read and it delivered just that. Nothing wrong with that.

This webtoon got a lot more hype than it deserved in social media in my opinion. It's cute and interesting enough to not drop it but nothing that will make you go wow.

Such a wholesome romance

Must read guys! Loved this romance so much. The art was top tier. There was no need to wait forever for a kiss between grown adults(you know how some manhwas are!). The ML & FL were adorable and I loved their character development. The secondary characters were also awesome. This is a feel good manhwa with a happy ending and some side stories!

Btw, you guys can Check my lists for more recommendations ❤️

Sparkling art and no plot or characters' depth. Overrated.

by LienHoa

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

I just don't understand the hype. The semi-real art is super pretty, gorgeous, sparkling, etc. you name it (even the phone case of a side character is pretty) and the plot doesn't even exist.

The Male lead, who i saw people worship and call him "National Husband" (which is hilarious 😂), is a perfect, handsome, nice and caring dude. He is too perfect to the point it made his character boring. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate the typa kind and nice leads that are able to have healthy relationship. But the plot is just basically: Yura, a small actress that is not popular (yet) met this love interest, works hard to achieve things in her career despite a little hardship in the beginning, starts to date happily and then has her happy ever after story: a handsome loving husband and the cutest children while starting to get famous 🤡

6 points: 5 for the art and 1 for the cute kids. It's all superficiality. You can't feel what the characters feel, what they're thinking, what their motives are. The chemistry between the two leads is one of the fakest i've ever known. Tl;dr: Pretty girl meets handsome man. Happy Ending. No depth whatsoever.

Ps: somehow i hate this series so much i wanna give it a 4. I'm sorry i'm projecting my emotions here

very enjoyable

Highly recommended. One of the best works out there. Also probably one of the most well-drawn, handsome ML I've seen.

It's been awhile since I can feel my "singleness" upon reading manhwas and webtoons. I read straight Chap 1 - Chap 53, I blushed and felt giddy all over. ML is such a green flag, it's so rare to find one irl. FL is so strong, and she's not the annoying cute. I thought this was the usual celebrity-romance, but all characters are mature with their relationship (tho of course, they have their inner child sulks---no one's perfect, indeed).

Although I thought this one's a slow burn (a plot that's usually my cup of tea), I love the progress and the development of their feelings. It's not rushed, it's perfect. I can't really say anymore... it's just that it's such a good story. I'm looking forward to more of the creators' works.

Please, please just read it. You won't regret it.

Edit: As of May 2023, I decided to rate is less than what I originally did (from 9.5 to 9) but I'm still putting this in my 'fave' reading list. The first few interactions they had were amazing and looks like it could happen irl to actors in the industry. Over 65 chapters, I guess it was too good to have great things happening within a short time so...it looks convenient for the plot. Regardless, I enjoyed every bit of it and wish I could have a Seunghyeon.

Excellent artwork and excellent story

The artwork style impressed me from the very first chapter.
The story is simple but linear, smooth and easy to follow.
In 72 chapters it develops well and the 5 extras close the story perfectly.
Many more works like this are needed in my opinion.
I STRONGLY recommend reading it! You can finish it in a day. It took me 3 days to enjoy it better.

Characters well written (evolve personalities). Art is wow! Story is not dragged with useless no-point arcs.
