Snacks! The one shots are adorable and though it leaves me wanting more, it doesn’t leave me hanging. It’s not as sensual nor that different to each other in terms of premise, but they’re all refreshing to me nonetheless.

A brokenhearted novelist fell unconscious under him and their meeting became alphabetic lessons, ultimately making Marion love to write letters.

And that's when the Artist and the grown up Julius reunited with Marion. Turns out, they age once they turn human.

eunwoo is so adorable and the way haewoo also gets soft for him bruh. and it doesnt focus much on the romance, rather it actually follows most plot that wouldve been more common for male leads, ie action and getting stronger. the romance is just sweet drops of honey here and there, but the female lead follows a path of getting stronger and taking responsibility for what has become under her lead. the original hero and heroine aren't annoying and are logical characters with their own goals. it does have a potential "you dont like me anymore but i think i like you now" path, maybe it will be more apparent in s2 coz here it's just tidbits when the female lead has redeemed her reputation.
