Third Ending
Scratches an Itch
Tropes: Childhood love, unrequited love, chasing arc
A seemingly perfect guy living his perfect life, is suddenly forced to face the one jinx from his past, which developed into a lot more than he expected. This manhwa truly gives me mixed feelings. On one hand, I absolutely adore it. I love the characters, they’re funny and very lovable. The plot is cute, the climax was quite well-written with a satisfying chasing arc. And the art is completely breath-taking (as exemplified in the snowy picture above which is one of my favourite scenes of all time). It is a simple, feel-good, fluffy read that I can always go back to. But, that’s really all there is to it, which is also why I struggle to rank this any higher. While the characters are very lovable, they are also one-dimensional. There’s not much complexity or layers to them. Their backstories are cute but again, doesn’t add much to building their personalities. The relationship between the 2 characters had so much potential to be interesting because there were major flaws that led to significant conflicts. It was finally a glimpse into the imperfections of the characters. But then, I felt that this was not explored enough, superficial at best, and the conflicts resolved rather quickly as well. Side characters were fun but didn’t add to the story or world-building. There really is much to be desired, but I do still love this manhwa and how it never fails to make me smile whenever I read it.
