the title on this site is a mistranslation, the official one - ''opposites attract" is WAY better as it grasps the core of this manhwa - there is no rivalary, they are just two guys who are polar opposites in almost every way. One is emotional and wears his heart on his sleeve, and the other hardly feels anything, just living by without a real purpose. It is good, but to see the bigger picture, you have to read at least 30 chapters
Now for the spoilers territory: I've almost dropped it around chapter 25. I thought it was the classic "uke down bad, gets mistreated by an arrogant asshole, after he leaves seme gets stuck by One True Love curse and regrets his playboish ways", and I was tired of reading the same story but with new faces. Glad I stayed. This one takes a SUPER interesting spin, and actually explores it in depth - what if the ML was actually a psychopath? Not like "he's a manipulative bitch/killer-to-be/yandere in the making" - just a person who doesn't feely things the way most people do. He doesn't have bad intentions, but his perception of the world differs from what one might call 'common sense'. It's a small deviation from the usual, but it has HUGE rammifications - the second half of the comics explores how this difference can be taxing for a relationship, how much more effort it takes to work, and how sometimes, there is no right or wrong, just different perspectives. I think it's an interesting read, rarely do we get to see neuroatypicallity addressed so directly (no matter if it's about autism spectrum, personality disorders or other things under this category) and not just implied or as a 'character quirk'. Their differences matter, they create problems and it's not easy to be in a relationship when such things are involved, but that doesn't mean it can't work!! and that's beautiful!!! the power of putting in effort and communication is strong in this one, but I appriciate the author for not magically solving everything with power of love.
Better read than I expected, but to see what's unique about it, you have to read it whole - the first half may not seem special, but the second changed my perspective
