The beginning of this manhwa was amazing! I'm very picky when it comes to mangas/manhwa, and I was pretty much hooked from chapter 1. I inhaled everything that was available within one sitting, and didn't even notice the time. I was completely captivated.
Around chapter 30, however, this amazing manhwa devolved into convoluted, cliche, retarded korean drama bullsh*t, and broke my heart. The story stopped making sense. The conflict became superficial. The characters started behaving in ways that made me want to tear my hair out, especially Min Gyeom.
He slept with his sleazy coworker after a night of drinking, and thereafter decided it was too late to go back to Sam, even after Sam explained their previous misunderstanding to him. All this takes place within one day. Is this the feudal era? You accidentally slept with some guy (while drunk), so then you have to be with him for good??? This is so stupid. It tries to be angst, but it's not even good angst because it's so nonsensical and needless. If you understand that it was just a misunderstanding, then go tell your coworker you made a mistake and call it off. Big effing deal. It was only one day, not like you've been dating for years. Why turn down the guy you actually love, and who loves you back for some sleazebag you boned? Why? WHYYY??? There was literally no reason for this.
And the coworker is creepy and sleazy as hell. For some reason, however, we have to sit through long chapters about his backstory with his ex. I guess it's so we can try to understand where he's coming from. No. Just...no. Gross. This is not an interesting side character that readers care about. This is a character that needs to be hit by a truck, mourned for one panel, and then is never mentioned or seen again.
Do I recommend this manhwa? No. As much as I loved the beginning, the stupidity of the latter chapters completely ruins it for me. That makes me angrier than anything. If it was just ok, then I wouldn't care, but it was so good at the beginning! And then became so awful. I will not be finishing this. I end my read at chapter 50. I don't care to find out what happens to these characters thereafter.
