More thoughts I forgot whoops! I love that gay!! is a word!! in this story!! So commonly you see characters who claim to be straight all throughout or are extremely bothered with being called gay or, most common of all, react in really stupid unrealistic ways. To date this is the most realistic reaction I've seen to the question and answer, including internalized homophobia and general questioning, and Joohee's reaction to her brothers' orientations was so sweet and I love her so much.
And I was so close to being 100% onboard with Hyung (Ik that's not his name but there were a lot of names and he was a late-gamer); I was totally prepared for him to drop like a hat, but him developing feelings towards Jaerim... Well it threw me for a loop to say the least.
Jaerim is adorable and I love him!!!!
Masterful. I adored it from start to end.
I am continuously blown away by manhwa. So many I've read, especially of this length, are just, cream of the crop, excellent.
I have so many favourite moments - the setup of Jaerim's hypocrisy about bullying and his own attitude towards Yuri, their slow fall in love, their final reconciliation and declaration of love....gorgeous.
I even liked the side characters! Like, all of them! I think Yumin is my favourite although I totally forgot about him for a good chunk of the series, he was out of it for so long haha. And the dynamic between Heeno and Aerak is so interesting, two selfish awful people from different sides of the coin~ I wish everyone so much happiness, my heart really swelled bidding everyone goodbye at the true end. What an amazing cast and excellent storytelling.
Literally my only nitpick is pacing - this was such a dramedy that it gave me thematic whiplash at times, haha~
