But I appreciate that Yoon Seul stayed polite and didn't feel anything against Kang Joon. I don't know about him rejecting him coldy (like the summary described it), I don't really know how you can reject someone warmly or kindly... Sounds more to me like rejecting someone by also giving them hope that it could eventually be accepted and Yoon Seul didn't appear to be eager to date anyone to begin with. And rejecting someone by also implying that it might work out even though it won't seems way crueler to me. Putting the answer straightforwardly on the table is ultimately the best thing he could have done, in my opinion.
I appreciate that he rejected him like anyone else he did with.
I've seen some plots where it's the same situation but that the rejecter even cursed at or was really disgusted by the confessor. So that he didn't have any bias makes me like him a lot, too. I hope that he doesn't end up saying anything to Kang Joon at this point now though.

His past really reminds me of my old friend circle where everyone talked about each other, was really toxic and I never said anything and minded my own business but when one of them asked me whether and what the others said about her, I'd honestly tell her everything.
Then, one day there was a big fight and neither side would admit to what they said about the other and pointed out that I told the other, like I was the one who started it. Next thing that happened was that no one talked to me and they demanded that I should apologize to everyone for causing this and they even called me many names, a snake and worse openly. They spread things about me, private matters I entrusted them and lies. Most people in my class then knew me as someone who loved to spread lies for drama. Only good thing was that I luckily didn't get bullied to death though I did think of giving up as everyone treated me as if I was invisible. School was one hella sick place.
Being shunned out of the group for being honest is incredible. Well, they all were pretty toxic and scary because they also talked about me behind my back but I never bothered to ask and knew from others outside of that circle.
Never ever will I get myself into a new group circle, it's bound to be like that again, scary.

Same happened in middle and high school too. Especially once by an entire class I was transferred to because all supported the person who was there longer (but they gossiped behind) without even knowing what happened. I refused to help her cheat from my sheet in exam. I started ignoring and got to class with headphones until class started for months until some people who weren't from majority. It's really hell. But in the long run, they never do anything great with their lives until they change themselves. I remember there was a mock test for uni exams in the city (capital city) they joked about right in front of me how low rates Id get. They all ranked like at lower 150s while I ranked about 20s. They stopped talking after I mentioned their ranks. Wanted help with exam.
In my experience I can say, spineless people never go far. And you don't have to look back later. You don't remember their face or name, but follow you on social media. It's just the bad feeling sticks.

Thank you, I met someone at the same time who did hear about the bad rumours about me but she was still willing to get to know me even though she also became a target from my old friend circle. We graduated already but since the moment she talked to me back then, she has still remained a very good friend of mine to this day^^

Firstly, congratulations on doing better than them, that's well deserved.
Also refusing to help them to cheat on the exams in the first place and after as well.
They would only take it for granted and forget that you ever even helped them in the end.
One person of my old friend circle and I started to get to know each other because I let her copy from my homeworks and eventually exams for a year+, once you start helping them cheat, they will rely on you so much that you are unable to tell them to stop and if you do, they make it so that you feel guilty by even mentioning that because you're ''friends'' or because you were the one who started helping them, that's something I was told to, at least... I was a loner back then, so I appreciated to have her as a friend though that's not what friends usually do, using the other for the own benefit but I didn't know better back then.
It's just sad that people in school remain the same, they don't know better but they love to gossip and add something else to make their truth of the situation more entertaining and tell it others again. There's also a pattern to these kind of people..
It's really easy to become an outcast but never would anyone think it would actually happen for real, and less that it hits them.
I'm glad that that hell is over for you, too.

All are so correct.
I noticed though, the better place you're working /studying the better the people are. Busy and productive people are good natured and understanding. The gossiping people are the opposite. They keep draining your positive energy while they trying to pull you down. Better uni, better job, better environment to live at, keeping yourself busy with quality hobbies, traveling are the best. There are still those people. But majority becomes you. My father says instead of listening gossips, bad news,pathologic complainers, do whatever you enjoy even if it's not productive. At least you're tending your boredom

Oh, your words are really similar to what my sister said to me, she has been through bullying, too but she was mentally really strong, stronger than me and she managed to focus on her studies only. In her class she was more of the very serious and to her studies dedicated type of student and she refused to help people. She is currently working already and she also told me she noticed that her surrounding slowly started to consist of people who take things more seriously and are respectful to each other as well, starting off from college already. And the people who used to make fun of her or look down on her have it worse than her.
Back when it was really critical for me to go to school on some days, she would tell me similar things but I couldn't take them to heart back then because I was unable to believe in her words as it was just really hard for me to believe that it could get better at that moment. But now that I'm in college myself, though I haven't really gotten into contact with anyone but from the ones I have talked to per zoom, they seemed really nice and they didn't judge me from my appearance alone. In school, it was pretty much the norm that the more popular kids would only take interest on what's outside than inside. It is still scary for me to voice out my opinion because of my experiences in school but I also know that the people now around me aren't as immature as the ones from school anymore, too.
Your father's words are really nice and thanks to you, too :). It was a really nice exchange. Now that I talked about it, I noticed that it isn't so painful to me anymore, what happened in my school years did so something to my overall personality but right now, I'm doing so much better than before, I doubt I'll ever encounter anything worse than people from school. I hope we'll continue to be fine and unbothered by people who (try to) affect us negatively.

I'm happy that you found someone that didn't care about what others said about you, that kind of person is really rare to find imo.
I have to admit that I used to be in a similar circle in which they talked about the person that wasn't present atm. And what was scary was that I wasn't allowed to keep my mouth shut when they started talking about someone, they really tried to bring out an opinion out of you, and I gave in and mostly always agreed on whatever they said without a second thought. Ultimately, I ended up paying the price, I was given fault, too that I was the one starting the trash talking. Thing is I couldn't deny everything because I winded up agreeing making me just as guilty. When a big fight happened, I just said nothing while everyone else made excuses saying they didn't say anything.
To this day I just said nothing to them, I just wanted to get out of that group. If I apologized for something everyone else did, too, I might have them now as my friends but in the end, the same thing would repeat again and again until I can't tell until when but I was the first to break apart. And now that I got away, I noticed how good I feel about myself for doing that, it always felt ''dirty'' whenever I was with them because they always had something to talk badly of, it unconsciously changed something in me as well.

I hope you also found a more suitable environment for yourself, a change of your surrounding does really change you, too. Positive but also sadly negatively. I hope the latter doesn't occur to you again.
It's amazing that you stayed true to yourself, similar in my case, they didn't confess their wrongdoings, either and rather looked for a scapegoat which would be the two of us.. And with saying nothing, you also didn't point at the others, I assume. I'm missing the right word but I think that's very strong of you? I mean it could've ended with a chaos where no one wants to admit and everyone just puts blame on someone randomly.
Getting out of that circle isn't a loss to you, only a win. They are probably still continuing the talking about the other thing but now, you don't have to be a part of it anymore.
Eventually, another argument will come again, it's bound to happen, if they failed to do the same like you did. Making excuses, it shows they didn't feel guilty enough to admit their faults, means they will continue until it leads to the next fallout.
Yes, when I also got out of the group, before feeling like it's easier to breathe, I felt a lot of guilt because they made me think that my intervention destroyed everything on what I had with them. A lot of guilt-tripping and cursing me out and all. But there wasn't really anything that was destroyed by me, it was bound to happen sooner or later, is what I believe, it was more a self-destructive relationship?
I'm glad you made it out and I also wish you well on finding the right people ^^

Yes, it isn't right to edit your own appearance in a photo and have it as a profile picture and fool others like that but she is also doing the same to others.
She hides her real face by wearing makeup after all and also fools others.
She was really quick to judge because he didn't look handsome enough but if people knew what she actually looks like and they would react the same way, she would undeniably feel hurt which is totally normal...
I don't know I think that's really strange.
She knows best what it feels like to be judged by mere appearance but she also does the same now.
But the blind dates she had after, at least didn't work out because of (very strong) differences in personality and interests at least, so I try to ignore that the first guy existed lol.
I believed that this would ultimately end up being that self-love based thing because that's a popular topic and all but now it seems more like being desperate to have someone to love you, that's OK, too. But I didn't expect that this would go down that route, I can't tell for sure but Suho is probabpy going to be endgame? I'd rather have her with no one now..
Well, I don't really like where this is all going, there doesn't seem much to the plot in general anymore that kept me as invested and excited when I started it.
The K-drama adaption is also a disappointment. But really rarely, do dramas do justice to the original webtoon, I did like that Soojin and Jugyeong's sister had a story of their own there.

The art is so gorgeous!
I love Roxana a lot, she is easy one of my favourite female leads.
This doesn't have a romance tag and for once I actually don't mind if there isn't romance going on. Don't really understand why some ship Roxana with Dion because they are blood-related siblings and all. There shouldn't be much to think about on who the ML is, with or without romance, it's Cassia and I think that's pretty good, too.
I noticed that I haven't read many stories where it's more that the ML is ''softer'' and kinder than the FL. It's always been that the ML was evil, cold and violent.
I wonder if he will be able to break her distant demeanor around him and make her (openly) behave more ''humanly''.
I'm looking a lot forward to what else Cassia is capable of.
I actually also really like that Jeremy, her little brother with blue eyes, way more than Dion. I think it's adorable that Jeremy respects and somewhat admires Roxana. I hope their relationship doesn't end up changing in a bad way, if he for example should come to know that Roxana isn't really being wholeheartedly and willingly cruel to Cassia or anybody else (except Dion though).

On who realizes his feelings for the other first..?
I really want them to make that bet, too hehe~~
And for once see how Hanhoo loses for once and is caught by surprise that he can be wrong, too but if it stays like this it's nice, too though.
Well, besides that, I find it really adorable that Hanhoo's main drive to catch August was because they were the reason they parted and also caused Chansol's memory loss and psychological trauma, too. I can tell that as soon as he is triggered by something, he will fall back into the dark and it'll so sad :c
But then, he isn't alone anymore because this time Hanhoo's there for him, I hope..
I'm pretty much imagining on what could happen, writing off another story with them like what if at some point Chansol remembers but Hanhoo ends up forgetting something, damn.
Chansol would be starting to make bets to try to hint then.
Well, I really love those two together, the interaction between them is funny and also really cute lol.

It doesn't look the FL of this season noticed that she had feelings for that Hamin but I also don't want to imply that she surely had feelings for him or something, who knows what their past was like after all..
Still, going through the story of what drove Hamin to commit suicide is going to hurt. Nothing much is seen from him, just a few panels but I can tell that I'll like him a lot, feels like how I felt with Yuki from Given..
Except Ettsen personally. I didn't really find their interaction to be special, in a good way that isn't a pain for both sides somehow? Or it's more that the others in the harem display much more affection to her and their affinity is really nice to see?
Visually from the start, I wanted Robia to get closer to her. I did often read stuff about how others found him trashy for sleeping with Yuriel but whenever I saw those, I did waver but then I also remembered that the princess herself told him to go and sleep with someone else than her and plus, they were all victims to the gamer's choice, Yuriel controlled them all kinda.
I'm really between Robia and Eclot but the best ending would be that it's basically all of them, and for the first time I wouldn't mind that it doesn't stick to only one male lead, probably because it just fits so well here, and all of them are really loveable characters in their own unique way, I can't rank them with how special they are and present themselves when they are with FL.
Those comments trashing on Robia for sleeping with Yuriel always confused me like ?? Did you want him to stay with someone who was abusive to him??
