meganbmooreDabin Choi is the daughter of Korea’s most powerful mob boss. Her entire life, she’s crush on Eugene, the son of one of her father’s “friends.” To be closer to him, she has her father transfer her to his school. What she and her father don’t know is that Shihu, the son of her father’s biggest rival, is also a student. While they were friends as children, they don’t hit it off so well as teens. Largely because Dabin uses Shihu’s back as a launching pad to get over the school walls the first time they meet. This results in an endless, heated rivalry that apparently makes the entire school a mass of shippers.
Dabin and Shihu are entertaining and easy to like, but I’m learning that they’re the normal character types for leads of romantic comedy manhwa. Ditto for Eugene being likable, but not very interesting. There’s also a pair of twins-one Evil and one Clumsy and Good. I kinda love them. Ditto for the girl who’s using her classmates as inspirational fodder for a romance novel. There’s also the class president, who is the son of Shihu’s father’s second-in-command and the fact that their fathers apparently used to be friends.
Entertaining, but not groundbreaking.
