Realistic and human depiction of friendship, romance, college!

I love this. Wow. BE WARNED: "Our Relationship Is" = slow burn; there isn't any of that passionate over-the-top soap opera romance so far, 67 chapters in. Instead, the author focuses on the deep and hilarious friendships that the main character forms, and shows the main character in a variety of situations not only situated in romance. A slight love triangle does develop, but it doesn't hinder or obfuscate the story in any way.

Both this webtoon and Cheese in the Trap are set in a college campus, and I think the dynamic of young adulthood is really interesting to capture compared to the angst that accompanies teenagers. Not to bash on shoujo manga, but this Korean webtoon is really a lot more mature in the way everything is handled.

Our female heroine is understanding, caring, relatable, genuine, undramatic, mature (for the most part), and understatedly lovely. She is nice but she is not a push-over.

The main male character is friendly, considerate, charmingly adorable, and handsome. Despite how perfectly he seems to fit the "sunshine puppy boyfriend with a bad-boy streak" image, he is shown to be flawed. He is shown making mistakes and regretting genuinely, and he is given a voice. He voices his pain and shows vulnerability, unlike many common male leads.

The side characters, including the antagonists, are human and realistic. I love the themes of overcoming past prejudices and learning to forgive. This is a beautiful little story. I highly recommend it.

Realistic and Endearing

This is such a sweet and nicely paced read. It deserves so much more recognition.
The main characters are great and the story has such a wide cast of personalities with depth that it's easy to resonate with many of them in their struggles and relationships.

And most of all, I really appreciate this author's intent to portray relatable female characters as strong, respectable and human. While I've found it's usually a battle between making a political statement or just having a good story - Lee Yun Ji has found balance in both.

I'm definitely not getting the Cheese in the Trap vibe from this one though (contrary to the previous reviewer). There's not nearly that level of planning or depth in this webcomic. However, I love this webcomic because it's just a cute story.
This is one of the first stories of best friends that I've read that it really feels like some of the friendships I have with my friends, not some weird farce that serves as a prequel to a romantic relationship. They treat each other so well, and occasionally there's that tension that makes you think, "oh, this could be more" just like in many real-life relationships. However, romantic love is a choice, and you see that in spades in this webtoon.
The MC is likable as well, kind, true-to-life, but not a doormat, though she sometimes lands in sticky situations. Most of the characters feel like they could be real-life people, even the ones that act like total assholes.
I read this webtoon for the best friends' interactions, but also because it's just such a well-done slice-of-lice set to a college campus.
