Despite joining the company at the same time, Iseop has held a grudge against Mingyeong ever since he placed second to her during new employee training. She consistently outperforms him in every area, continually damaging his ego... yet why can't he stop thinking about her?

The ML is the almost typically childish, possessive type of character but he turns to be quite honest about his interest and feelings eventually, making it very refreshing. The FL on the other hand isn't as some harsh comments state down in the comments section, she is quite normal, she is very close with a guy from her childhood years and she likes the ML so it is hard for her to hold it in sometimes, I don't see any problem with it, actually she can get very stubborn declining the ML advances and that creates a really good tension, although it can become a bit frustrating at times. I mean, the story has its good parts and some others that aren't so great but they aren't keeping me from reading it... It is a rather simply office love story that takes (IMO) a lot of time to develope...
8.6 ? I lied the first time ! This is a 10 ⚜️ why ? Measurement of MY JOYYYY ! They just bring so much emotions into my person ! I love them.. I will come back another time to review correctly.. but because I saw 2 other’s comments, just wanted to say : first, FL isn’t a s*ut (this is ridiculous), I do appreciate her personality, even if she is the restraining type (what surprised me about her character was how she didn’t complained about ML’s whim?/ tantrum?/ childness? but when you get to know her you understand why) AND ML isn’t the cold CEO we are used to.. I read a lot & this kind of ML character is oddly rare, showing raw emotions, truth, immaturity (and there is understanding for all that).. I guess you can be unpleased if this is doesn’t match with your energy or what you don’t like about people ? Anyway this romance is a slow burn, the pace isn’t weird (and I’ve seen it all..) I think you can guess some information based on their behavior.. they’ve known each other for a very long time, they have history so yeah totally make sense to me.. anyway I need to sleep so I’ll be back for sure to make a real review
This is just not working out for me. Slow-burn romance but when things escalated a little bit it was just so weird.
And will Akane ever talk with her dad? He's treated like the Avatar vanishing when people needed him, but he just works a 9-5 job lol
Christians are nothing more than hypocritical alt-right bigots, cultists, and rapists. I'm glad these useless Christians are getting more irrelevant and slowly starting to fade into obscurity than before.
