This series is cliche as hell and I love it to an unholy degree. It's a cute and funny childhood friends to lovers series and one of the few that genuinely makes me laugh. It seems to have a good balance where it doesn't draw anything out too long and stays fun and lighthearted throughout.
The FL is airheaded but in a funny way rather than an annoying one, she's 'special' and a bit of a Mary Sue but has a ravenous love of reading smut novels.
Lix is ride or die for her and has cliche aspects to him but you can genuinely feel his love and affection for her (even in her naive moments).
The biggest selling point for me is that they are childhood friends and actually feel that way. They're very comfortable with one another and the FL doesn't hesitate to speak her mind to him.
Don't expect anything groundbreaking but if you want a basic feel good romance manhwa this is a good bet.
