Main girl exudes chad energy.
Very nais

I think people don't understand well. This guy doesn't just fit the gay stereotypes. He's also in story assumed to be dating the other guy many times, even if that is only because he is mistaken as female (another bl trope anyways).
I don't think it'll go down the route of LGBT+ honestly. However, I can totally see why people would think it might. Especially considering we have two sets of very gay looking couples to ship between the main 4. I mean honestly, the main pair scream gay stereotypes.
But in the end, it's more or less a gender swap of the typical Shoujo characters. It just so happens to match similar vibes as in bl and gl. Haesol even said she doesn't have interest in the same gender.

The friends of ml and fml should have been the main characters, don't get me wrong I'm not saying deleted the mcs but they're development could have been as side characters, I like neither fml and ml as I feel zero dynamic with each other, it feels forced, the best friends feels more interesting but not because they're better but at least it's more fun, the ml lead also is kinda, he's not a bad person and neither to annoying is just, he has nothing to root for and is like watching a worse version of Deku(yeah I said it) like everything he does and react is so off, like it makes you cringe, and before someone saying it's because he is more feminine personality that's bull crap he literally cringe.

All characters apart from the MC are okay, and the art is nice. But the mc is such a wimp it's hard to sympathize with him... like it feels that the only thing going for him is that he is appareantly cute looking. The story feels a bit fresh but in general meh. Hoped we would see at least a bit of personal growth from mc.

You need to have the right mindset to read this.
Let's imagine something. Think of a teenage boy in high school. He's your friend. That boy, you see, is very sensitive. He cries easily. He's also weak, bad at sport, clumsy and looks a bit a like a girl. Almost every time you go out with him to do something, he will either stumble and fall, or drop something, end up hurting either him, or you, or someone else, and break something something you own, drop water or any other thing on you. He's so much indecisive that he ends in an hospital because he doesn't know what he wants to do, so he bleeds from his nose and faints (and I wish I was joking here). So, that boy, you see, is our protagonist here, Yeonwoo.
He's not a bad kid. He's sweet and kind, but also very shy, and maybe a big coward too. The thing is, if he were my friend, I wouldn't be able to bear it. I'd end up tired of being with him because of how extremely sensitive and clumsy he is.
The female main lead on the other hand is his exact opposite. In my mind, I call her "Robot Girl". She's kind of a kuudere. The author probably tried to create a cool and cold character, but most of time kuuderes are cute. And she's not. She's supposed to be extremely beautiful, the equivalent of a model, but I have to admit I can't see it. She isn't ugly, but I can't really call her beautiful either. If you have ever read a romance aimed at girl, then you can probably picture in your head a guy with black hair, tall, taciturn, good at everything, and always ready to protect the female MC. That's our FML here, Haseol.
In fact, this feels like a romance written by a female author aimed at guys, but here the roles of the main characters are reversed.
The problem with this manhwa is the impossibility for me to believe and accept its premise. The MC is so extremely sensitive that it's literally impossible for me to read one chapter without having to make a pause while thinking "You dumbass!". Is there any guy like him in the real world? I don't know, maybe. I've never encountered someone like him in all my years though. And like I said, if someone like him was my friend, I don't know if I would be able to bear it. And I was a crybaby until middle school. Still a coward though. But even for me, he's too much.
I could say it is a rather OK manhwa, with some interesting side characters (in fact, the side characters are more interesting than the main ones), the drawing are good. But boy is it a drag to read. The story could have been a bittersweet slice of life about a very sensitive boy, with some funny/sad side characters and a bit a humor/sweet moments, but instead, almost every chapter, there is some forced drama, the MC will make an error, be embarrassed and/or depressed about it and run away.
So, be warned. It is a very, very, veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery hard to read manhwa while retaining your calm.
