Would be better without the love triangle hanging over things, and furthermore the chemistry between the leads is only sort of there, and it doesn't really resolve any problems, it just kind of ends
with them saying "sure, let's date and be fuck-buddies, maybe it'll work out".
Honestly, in the end I'm convinced this is kind of awful. Decent moment-to-moment execution, but to what end? Feels like there's not much heart to it in the end, nor does it have anything to say. Who wants to read a romance like that?
Thanks for translating but the friend would be a much better lover the way he cares for the MC. I need a spin off of the friend finding someone he deserves bc he deserves the best dammit!
