A geniune nice romantic K-Toon, without any NTR, blackmail or other bullshit. It's refreshing to see it.

Once again: someone willingly decides to read shit exclusively, and then forms strong, "objective" opinion based on subjective choice. Pa-the-tic, but pretty representative for the audience.

You guys dont know how much this means to me. I like this manga so much. Its a refreshing read, no complex plot line, back stabbing, cheating, ntr or something like that.

Really nice and wholesome. It didn't involve love triangles/harem, or any complex MC not being able to fess up their feelings for each other for 100 chapters. I wish it lasted a bit longer, or maybe an epilogue of them officially getting engaged/married. Otherwise 10/10.
I really hate Do-hee for not letting him answer after her confession. She's too selfish to just run away for a while after that. Won't he just feel sad for staying away or not being able to confess. She didn't have to confess to him to make feel sad for their time apart. She could have just stopped talking or meeting without confession. Or atleast give him a chance to speak after her confession. Since she got a chance to confess, shouldn't he get too. Chapter 42 ruined it

I really enjoyed this manhwa for what it tried to convey. There's really a lot to unbundle here, so..
Where do I even begin? Gosh..
I would go so far to say that this story has one of the best character growth and main characters in the romance genre. It's balanced well, they both have their flaws, and they're both extremely relatable. No cringy and odd flowery dialogues. Perhaps the reason why is because this story wasn't written to attract a young audience, lol.
I tend to find majority of the male leads in romance korean manhwas tragically lack of proper writing. They all seem to only be written to satisfy and adore the female leads, nothing more. Cute couple moments is all fine and dandy, but relying soley on that tends to draw out extremely unmemorable character writing. And that is absolutely the worse, because you know, he's the main character. Quite frankly, being cute and lovely around the female lead should not be considered a personality trait.. It's just sad.
Enough rambling now. If you enjoy reading something different, I do recommend you this.

In the most simplest way I could describe this story, it's about two strangers that, after recently both had broken up from their prior romantic relationship, decided to have a very casual weekly dinner while sharing their story. Both are being held back by their own personal problem, and while they converse, they start to learn new things about personal growth and love in general.
Towards the climax of both our main characters, the female lead decided to take a break from seeing him and to finally have some alone time herself. Her issue was that, because of how her father had cheated on her mother and neglected the family, it affected the MC's adulthood emotionally, and made her extremely reliant on her ex. Her way of solving this was to slowly and actually appreciate being alone once in awhile. She was able to finally see and appreciate things differently, things that her past self wouldn't have noticed. I liked how the solution wasn't to find herself a new boyfriend right away, but to fix what's inside her.
As for our handsome male lead, typically he'll be written as a playboy. Technically, he did date a lot of women, but I enjoyed how the author portrayed some of the women he dated. They all personally mattered to him, and taught him many things. They're still part of his memory, but nothing more and nothing less. It's honestly refreshing to see that a male lead has an actual backstory that can be relatable to an actual human being, instead of the overdramatic rich boy who only dates women to fuck sort of trope.

You're right, her decision was most definitely selfish.

But, if she was to let him confess his feelings as well, what was a girl to do? Continue with her plan to not see the handsome guy that
also had mutual feelings? Yeah right. The author, in my opinion, had to write her making that decision. If not, her dating another man right after breaking up with a long term ex would be seen as her not growing at all. She was very reliant on her ex because of her neglectful father. She was extremely self-conscious when going out to eat, was in a state of depression and just couldn't be happy being by herself. Note that she was still seeing her ex instead of going cold turkey, which was unhealthy for both of them. She couldn't move on.
By taking a break and not seeing the male lead, she was able to experience the joy of being alone, and view things in a different and much healthier perspective. It was a nice touch.
After all I said though, what she did was still selfish. But that's what makes her relatable. She isn't perfect. Despite respecting her decisions like a saint, he also isn't perfect and intended to break the promise by contacting her up later.

It's just really, really good. Really liked the pacing.
There's 1 or 2 chapters close to the end that will really piss you off, so just be prepared for that.
But even with that, it still ended well, and I'd still rate this manhwa at least a 9.

This manhwa was quite unique. I think it very embodied very well the essence of what I think is truly Josei. It dealt with some mature concepts but with a light-hearted feel. I enjoyed the characters and I liked the serenity of their personalities and experiences. I did want more chapters just to deliver a better closure, but the way that it ended was so "it", that I honestly can't complain much. In general, it was a great read and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light, but well-written read.
