So I started this story cause I was bored and thought it’d be a simple read to pass the time. What I didn’t expect was to be so entertained the entire story that I read it all in one sitting, just clicking next chapter each time. The FL is entertaining and the FL and ML’s relationship is fun. I do think after the first season, the pacing got a bit fast. And even faster in the final chapters leading up to the ending.
Mention of spoilers (some of this contains parts talking about the second season, so if you haven’t caught up to the translated parts and don’t wanna know, don’t read):

So the rushed parts id see is when it came to FL and ML’s confession scenes. It was a rollercoaster cause one moment FL would be like “no I won’t show my feelings” then the next moment she suddenly confesses, then the next moment she is hesitating and avoiding him to accept his confession due to thinking about handling dating a celeb, and then accepts his confession right after. And then the ML also doing the same. I think the ML’s confession was sudden and came out of nowhere, it happened so casually when he was struggling to accept it before. I would’ve liked it if there was a scene where he was thinking about his feelings before the confession, that way it’d connect and the readers could tell it would lead up to him wanting to confess. Not like how he listened to FL reject him and then the next chapter he confesses right away without any reader seeing into his thoughts thinking he’d do that. These were just some of the things I wish were paced better, but overall it wasn’t bad to read and still light hearted since they resolved things quickly.
Now onto future untranslated chapters:

A lot happens in just 8 chapters up to the ending, and I honestly think this is the most rushed part. It’s like all the issues came to a resolution one after another right up to the ending. It all was resolved so easily while also adding all the most dramatic parts at the end. Like there were 3 big issues and they all were resolved at once. I think it would’ve been better had the problems been solved over time throughout the story. Cause shoving all the resolutions at the end makes it feel rushed. Like the conclusion of the FL’s ex finished in like 2 chapters, all on its own. The issue with FL’s mom was resolved in a single chapter, which was kinda lacking since it was supposed to be a final reuniting/confrontation with her mom but it ended so quick with FL just saying she didn’t want to see her and the mom was like “ok bye!” Though I do like how it added in info about the dad in that part and the reveal.
Then the issue with the ML’s ex and brother. The ex situation escalated to a point I didn’t expect and also got resolved on its own with ML not even talking to her. The last time he actually saw her was the time she brought him food (never got that thermos back), which was a shame cause I really wanted him to have a final confrontation with her. She was a lot crazier than I thought. And the brother situation was resolved on its own too without ML actually doing much.
This all happens in the last chapters:
-scandal about mc
-car accident/murder plot
So two of those scheming girls used these opportunities to ruin FL. The idol chick FL’s ex is seeing tried to expose the history of FL dating the ex. And the ML’s ex also did the same thing and tried to make the scandal about ML and FL, that failed so she participated in scheming murdering FL. This all was resolved within 2 chapters each (maybe less than that). I think it would’ve better had it been written to lead up to that. Like adding in hints of how crazy the ML’s ex is or that she was plotting to do something. It’s like the plans or hints happened off screen and the results occurred on screen. It came outta nowhere. But despite what looks like way too many complaints, I still enjoyed the characters and story. It’s a light read and funny.
