I finally caught up, and I really like how Siu and Seohan's stories serve as foils for one another.
In the original timeline, even though both were on the same show, neither of them made it on to the final team, and family members that told them not to pursue being an idol. In Seohan's case, Seojun had the best intentions in mind for Seohan, while in Siu's case, his family only have their own well-beings in mind. I can't imagine what it would have been like for Siu after being eliminated.
It's not much for contrast, but considering how much of an immense impact Seohan had on Siu and how Siu's struggles are still ongoing, I really like how it was him that checked on Seohan at this point of the story.
Does anyone know the name of a webtoon where the ML had once given someone that wasn't the MC a gift fountain pen with their initials?
Other Details:
- MC ate Italian food even though they did not like it, but their crush (who was not the ML) liked it.
- The MC joined an LGTBQ+ club back in university because of this crush.
- The ML and the MC's crush were once together at some point.
- I believe it takes place in an office setting.
... or something like that. The details are kinda foggy sorry.
This might not be enough to go on, but any ideas shall be greatly appreciated.
Oh my god TToTT thank you! This response is greatly appreciated.
I may not have liked how long the drama and the sex scenes went on with the second couple, but I did enjoy a lot of what this series provided, even though what I did enjoy would be considered shallow.
I never go for love triangle stories where you can't really tell who the true love interest is for a character, but I have to admit, I kept reading Norman's story to make sure the one I was rooting for succeeded.
And speaking of Norman, I'm pretty sure he's the true protagonist of the series even though he wasn't in the first couple. I believe it's the reason why his story went on for so long, and it's also why we see start off the story from his perspective.
The sex scenes were also super messy, and for some reason I liked it even though I'm typically not a fan of messily handled sex, but there were a few that I skipped mostly because I wasn't a fan of seeing sex between the pairings I wasn't rooting for.
End of non-spoiler section.

Spoiler for positions and pairings:
Even though the tops were all varying degrees of the "tough-looking to crybaby" pipeline, I also really liked the how the bottoms varied, from the assertive beefy Suyeon, the small and indecisive Norman, and finally the charismatic and tall Chuljin (with his delightful inverted nipples).
Lastly, it might just be me, but I think the banter between the couples really improved over time, since it was what really sold me on making the Minwoo/Chuljin pairing my favourite so far.
I really like this manhwa and people on the comments are just mean yeah the sex scenes are nasty, the dick's are ugly but where do you find a top that can climate (? UNTOUCHED while just smelling a shirt that the bottom was wearing.... And actually I really liked how the second couple troubles where handled.... Ahhh and the transition from the first couple to the second was really cool to me... It's crazy to read those comments
Yeah! The transition was sooo good! And ngl, it was what made me so curious about Norman's story alongside the sprinkles of Sungtaek's interest in Norman even before the story switched perspectives.
I really wanted to see Sungtaek and Norman be together because I really wanted Sungtaek's interest in Norman to pay off (it's crazy that it spanned WAYYY further than I imagined) and it did and I'm so happy!! And kinda like what you mentioned about the second couple, but I also really liked how Sungtaek was handled, like, I was kinda confused by some of Sungtaek's actions but watching him learn how to improve (stuff like aftercare) and how he was brought up explained so many things about him. It felt pretty rewarding.
Sorry for gushing in your reply, I literally spent yesterday to this morning binging this, and I was pretty sad I didn't see many comments having anything good to say so I was excited another person having positive things to say about it too.
Yes! and i really liked Sungtaek's character, i think he was well written bc trauma is slow and it felt realistic to me since personal growth and healing doesn't always happen in a linear way... I do think the aunt was forgiven waaay to easy but ok, not everyting is perfect. and when they finally get together on that trip omggg i loved it and norman was so "manly". You are tottaly right the dinamics of all the couple are good i love this series so i glad you liked it too T.T every time i read a chapter is always negative comments haha
Ahh and i love minwoo, he is so charismatic so im enjoying the current chapters too! i reaaaally want to know how chuljin's mind works or what is he thinking!?
Agreed! And I am so glad you brought up his mom because I actually planned to bring up how easily she was forgiven in both my original comment and my earlier reply to you too, but I forgot each time OTL. The story for sure isn't perfect, but there's just something charming about it.
I look forward to learning more about Minwoo and Chuljin too! With their story, we'll hopefully get the last pieces of the puzzle.
