ok thank god it’s not just me. i binged the story all today and it was definitely enjoyable, but not anything crazy maybe like a 6/10 for me. i feel like if the story was a little more fleshed out, it would be wayyy better. like if we rlly delved into the ml’s back story or if we explored the mc’s relationship with her mom a lot more (i was rlly interested in that and we barely got anything)
or in the romance aspect, if we got more dates and stuff between them bc while i wouldn’t call it a fast paced relationship by any means, the time it took to get them to fall in love felt almost bland. ofc that’s just a preference tho cause i think i tend to only read slow burns, but idk it just felt like there wasn’t enough substance in their relationship from what the readers saw for them to love each other as much as they seemed to
i did enjoy the antagonist tho. i immediately clocked how crazy he was from the first time he saw the couple out together in the town from his reaction and knew he would be a problem. i wish we also explored how his relationship with family (his mom using him as a puppet and the lack of relationship w his dad) to rlly see how he ended up the way he did
honestly, this was enjoyable but pretty basic. the plot felt predictable and emotionless, like something i’ve read a hundred times before. the female lead was strong and stubborn, which was nice, but not unique. the art was pretty, but nothing that really stood out.
the real highlight was the villain — he was the only truly three-dimensional character. even when he made terrible choices and caused problems for the leads, he was compelling and hard to hate because of how well his backstory was written.
overall, it’s a simple feel-good story on a very linear path. not bad, but definitely not unforgettable.
