Besides the romance between the two protagonists (which is cute), Yi Hwa is definitely the best character in this manhwa. She’s deep, complex, strong yet sensitive, with a really compelling backstory. For me, her character development is even stronger than Seowoo’s and Hayong’s. The art is beautiful and very easy to follow — I ended up binging the whole thing in just three days. Seowoo is not really my type, and sometimes her sensitivity felt almost childlike when she was being romantic, which got a bit irritating for me (though that’s more about my taste than an actual flaw in the writing). Yi Hwa, on the otherhand, is totally my type. I guess I like characters who feel like hot peppers — warm, intense, and a little burning.

Another thing I really appreciated was how the cinema club added to the atmosphere. It even gave me some indirect contributions to my movie watchlist, which I loved. Now I want a cinema club too 😭 And honestly, I wish we had seen more of Ga Eun’s side romance, because it felt like it had potential.

Overall, I’d rate it an 8/10. Sometimes the pacing slowed down, even while things were happening, but it was still a very engaging and enjoyable read.
