i’m probably in the minority here but i really think the writing left seunghee (and to a certain extent, inbeom) out to dry. i get that it’s “someone else’s bl,” but i really liked seunghee as a character—his abrasive personality, him always closing himself off so he doesn’t develop a crush on any male friends, his crossdressing hobby—so seeing him get thrown aside for like 60 or so chapters and then giving him a half baked romance was so unsatisfying. and i couldn’t even get into the other couple because i HATEDDDD kyubin for how much he messed with seunghee and got away with it. he was vaguely threatening seunghee into crossdressing for him and even showed gay porn IN CLASS knowing how it’d affect seunghee (AND THE GUY HE LIKES?) and you want me to root for his romance? nah....

and yeah he apologized in the end but it was still so anticlimactic. i think narratively speaking, it just annoyed me how seunghee was so involved with kyubin and seungtaek, and then they just... ignored each other? same with how crossdressing was such a pivotal part of seunghees character that again, gets thrown away with no development.

despite my complaints, the thing that keeps me coming back is imo the best character: inbeom i went from hating this dude to wanting him to be happy and getting a spin-off series lol. he has the best character development in the entire series and my one complaint is that i wish he got with seunghee LMAO. i thought seunghee and suhyeok were cute, but him and inbeom have such natural chemistry, great relationship development, and really influenced each other for the better. at some point i even thought there’d be a love triangle lol that's how much chemistry they have. oh well at least in my head, seunghee and inbeom get together in their twenties

    I agree with EVERY single points you made ! You told no lies. I hated the second couple, they weren’t interesting enough and the author dragged their love story too long.
    As for the MC, I wanted to see more of his cross dressing, it was such an interesting and original plot. Too bad the author didn’t do anything with it. (Same for the perv, their relationship was so interesting and in some way cute but yet so problematic).

    I really liked the 2 cousins and their relationship with MC but my favorite was Inbeom. I wanted for him to be with MC.

    The story wasn’t bad but it had soooo much wasted potential.

    omg yes! I wish the author didn't spend so much time on the side couple I personally didnt like them that much. and the class president suffered no consequences for injuring inbeom to that extent.

    THIS!!!!!! I think inbeom and seunghee really needed eachother and even if they didn’t date their friendship helped them grow a lot as people. They may not be a couple but they are my favorite duo and made me cry a lot
