mutual pining, mutual stress

cute, mutual pining and an otherwise light read, except for what i think were the last 10ish chapters of the main story, where both of them were jealous but kept skirting around it. that was genuinely so stressful and i did not enjoy it at all lmao

i also think the way jiwon's abuse by his first coach was introduced felt a little too casual for something that deserved more weight. the couple never really explicitly discussed it, or any of the heavier things jiwon was going through. i understand it was used to explain the root of his anxiety and i haven't read the novel so i don't know if it was handled better there, but i just wish the manhwa had explored it more thoughtfully. but the story mostly focused on their relationship and the challenges that came with being a same-sex couple, along with their clashing personalities.

other than that, i love their two friends who brought enough humor to balance out the tension from the problems jungwoo and jiwon were facing. i actually thought they'd end up together ꉂ(≧▽≦)

i still enjoyed this story, even though it had me looking like that one stressed hamster half the time
