This being from the same author as Under the Oak Tree (the character arcs sound a bit similar so not surprised) and the spoilers make me think this won't be my cup of tea. At the same time, Spoon could make some changes or take some artistic liberties like they did for the Who Made Me a Princess manhwa. I tend to like their work so I'll wait until there are more chapters.
Dajeong and Haneul were so cute this chapter. Dajeong admitting he was jealous but that he wanted to be respectful was so sweet. Thought the love triangle would get in the way again, but its nice to see their chemistry throughout the festival.
Anytime I saw anyone recommend this manhwa it was because of its wholesomeness. Thats kind of what it was known for, so its surprising they would change the tone of it. Also, Haebom after season 2 would have more confidence in their relationship, running away after spending so much time together seems off.
Saw someone say that Haebom running away feels like something he would do in season 1 back before his character development (before he was braver and comfortable with his relationship with Taesung). Can def see that. Where it left off gave limited options for conflict, but this manhwa's strength has always been its wholesomeness, so the switch to a more dramatic tone is surprising.
Dojoon calling Jaewon a "natural disaster" is a nice callback to ch. 15 where Jaewon says that Dojoon may think he's a natural disaster but that he's there to make Dojoon happy. Looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops now that they're starting to realize their feelings. Hilarious that the bully ended up making a fansite for Dojoon on the side lol.
Taejae and Juhyeok have so much chemistry and their interactions were so sweet here. I know Su-ah's the ml so it wont happen, but really would like to see Taejae and Juhyeok together (even if its some side story). Know that there will probably be a 2nd couple, but man would I have liked to see Taejae with someone buff to continue the whole "you're not my usual type but somehow I'm still into you."
Pretty cute! Think I like them the best when theyre having fun and joking with eachother tbh. The rating kind of holds it back a bit and considering the entire manhwa is ending soon, kind of want whatever plot is being cooked up to have shown up a bit more.
Ngl what did Su-ah think was going to happen? He made Juhyeok dependent, now hes dependent. It's Juhyeok who has to handle the fallout of the entire situation. Hes the one who can't function normally when it comes to his life. All because Su-ah scented him under the guise of protection and then hid it. Not saying Juhyeok is perfect or that he didn't make mistakes, but he has a right to be upset at Su-ah as well.
This work being inspired by Stardew Valley is so real.
Theyre both flawed. Su-ah is the reason the situation exists and he did it knowing Juhyeok wouldn't like it. Su-ah isnt an innocent, well-intentioned little bean. We had an entire chapter about how he was taking advantage of both the situation and Juhyeok. Hes getting something out of it too. Not trying to say Juhyeok isnt harsh and the cause of ther initial friendship break.
Juhyeok can be annoying but dont get the people saying he should be thanking Su-ah. This guy's the reason he's in this situation in the first place. It impacts Juhyeok's daily life and goals that he's worked hard for. Su-ah knew Juhyeok would hate being scented and did it anyway (then tried to do it again). Su-ah isnt oblivious to all this. Hes gaining something from it too. Anyways, not trying to say Juhyeok has no faults, their friendship fell apart because of his inability to accept he was an omega. They're both flawed.
Minjae and Heechan are soooo cute. They really fit well together. Something I like is that yes, they do they love each other romantically, but its also so clear how they have a great friendship too. That slow burn was really well done. On another note, Heechan is so funny. Love the chibi form that he turns into lol.
Mc can be really petty and rash, but hes not exactly in the wrong for disliking the ml. The ml is the reason he's in the situation in the first place. It impacts his daily life. The ml knew the mc wouldn't like it and he did it anyway. On another note, these unhinged statements coming out of these characters mouths are something lol.
