I read this manga to ch 32 on Batoto and it’s developed well so far. There’s more development to be had but I foresee this one having strong FL character development in the end. Also, in the beginning you are seeing the FLs memory/POV of the ML, which was not 100% accurate. Although that stalker tendency is a problem. Remember that they’re all kids who have never been in a relationship too. I love how realistic and raw this manga has been so far (minus the time jump ><)

Can someone that's read it TLDR some spoilers, please? The premise sounds intriguing, but comments section makes it sound meh.

Better than the comments make it sound, though some are valid. The premise is really interesting, author doesn’t use that much plot armour, and watching the development of the FL’s character and perspective is interesting, as is the slow reveal of what
actually
happened in the past.
(FL is a very unreliable narrator in the initial flashback we get in the early chapters.)
TLDR Push past the early chapters, it gets better and more interesting later on.

Theory: might be a huge spoiler if it's correct sooooo
I've been connecting the dots when I read a little bit more chapters on other sites and it seams as though the MC is thought of as a slut who slept with many guys in the school and the ML saw the future of the MC marrying that doctor out of money and began to hate the MC because of how he thought that the rumours were true. That's why the guys keep mentioning about her in rumours as well her "not caring about what guys she is with".

Also, these comments absolutely don't understand a lot of the story, but it's understandable since there is little context and not much to work on with only 13 chapters. Also, some are reasonable, like how fucking scary the ex-boyfriend actually is, but it doesn't really mean all the characters are shitty(gets pretty good characters and backstory in future chapters especially). This story is basically like the dumb-down romance version of Wakui Ken's Toukyou Revengers and a little bit of Kei Sanbe's Erased (WHICH ARE BOTH BANGER MANGAS, PROPERLY HANDLES THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTEXT BEHIND TIMETRAVEL AND A BAD PAST AS WELL AS BEAUTIFUL CHARACTERS ;-;), no action but does have SOME resemblance in terms of psychologically (doesn't really focus on it or the timetravel part well though like Toukyou Revengers did).

7/10 for the art

7/10 for the story

8/10 for the characters (the ML is an 3/10 though, ngl. Screwed up in the head and acts like he is able to own MC while she basically just goes along with it)

8/10 for backstory, interesting but could've put more effort into it

Overall: 8/10

Does anyone have spoilers? The tags suggest that this is an award winning manhwa, but if Lee Yeon Ah ends up with this creepy stalker ex-boyfriend, that's just going to strain my faith in humanity...
Well, maybe you have already read it, but in case you haven't, give the series a read. Jihoon may be stalker and all, but I think the FL is way more problematic than him.
