At the end of the day, I want the guy with the white hair. GIVE ME THE SATORU LOOK ALIKE!!!
It isn't written in a unrealistic manner, Jiwoo didn't win by sheer strength and surprise, but they didn't also become friends - rather, Jiwoo was prepared to lose without anyone coming in to save him and this disciple guy respected the fact jiwoo was ready to lose, and even die in this battle.
Kudos to the writer of this for being able to navigate flights and how to end it without things being dramatic, having too many high stakes, or being too anticlimactic. They ended this on a high note without it being over the top!
sure, maybe it going from serious scenes to comedic bits is sometimes... whacky, to say the least BUT here's everything i can list that i think is good about it:
1. our main character, the male lead, actually puts in SO MUCH effort to really truly change himself for the person he holds dear in his heart
2. the relationship between our main character and the female lead is actually realistic! olive doesn't just casually falls for ludwig the first time they meet again as grown ups, olive actually puts in effort into understanding ludwig in her own way while ludwig doesn't ask for outrageous ways to spend time with olive (i actually thought at first he'd asked planus to ask olive to be his partner, it took me by surprise when i saw it was for lectures instead)
3. following number two, i like that ludwig doesn't force olive to reciprocate his actions, affections, and feelings for her - sure he brags and shows off (especially during their date for the first time) ludwig doesn't ever once made or demanded olive to love him or like him
4. the thing that possesses ludwig or his condition, doesn't become an excuse for ludwig's actions and behavior (back then and present time) in most stories, they use that as an excuse to say “he was good after all!” no! ludwig took whatever's possessing him or his illness as a stepping stone to better himself
5. and ludwig's kindness didn't exist out of thin air, it started existing through will, effort, action, and perseverance, it's like the story is telling “kindness isn't inherent, it's learned and done with intention and effort”
I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH ♡(> ਊ <)♡
yeah, son of bitch-kyung is definitely doing some energy-stealing-take-your-life-away magic on sera, i noticed this first at the flashback when they were all younger - sera was bright and bitch was already somehow deranged - and before our FL possessed sera's body, the way the bitch was bright, soft, full of life, and had everyone wrapped around her fingers? that was supposed to be sera's fate in a less twisted obsessed way
fluffy is most definitely the dog from the childhood flashback of little a's, no doubt about it, if you look at the white color at the end of the tail of the dog is similar to fluffy's
i like it though seems like your usual misunderstanding story, where the boy at the hospital was actually the guy with black hair but FL got his name mixed up with guy with dirty blonde hair (this is my guess bcs it's kind of obvious?)
honestly, i thought it'd be more about the FL and her twin and their difficulty in navigating themselves and their love lives due to being very similar in everything yet being different people
A FOREHEAD KISS!!! LET'S GOOO
man they're so adorable wth
