Fl is supposed to be an adult and she's definitely not acting like one. ML is a kid. Physically and mentally, yet both FL and the gay bodyguard sexualize him?!?!?! And that seems to be normal? and funny? Idk I mean I like messed up but when it is not being played as being funny or comedy because it is not.

Unsatisfied.

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

I really liked the concept, but I feel like it was empty most of the time.
First of all, the protagonist is supposed to fake being another girl, but the second someone suspects her or she sees someone from her normal life she spills all her secrets. Like WTF girl, instead of exploring the drama and conflict of living a lie (while keeping the lie) we get little drama -> all secrets revealed -> pity fest.
Then by the end, the final conflict doesn’t get explored at all, being solved almost instantly the next chapter… then the ending forgot to show what happened to her fake school life.
While I enjoyed it at first it got meh pretty fast.

A pretty good story overall

I quite enjoyed this series. It is kind of tropey but some things are changed around that makes it more interesting, characters are smarter in figuring out what's happening which was a relief to not have to suffer through. They're still kinda dumb though when it comes to relationships.

The ending didn't feel totally conclusive to me, I felt like the story kind of forgot about everyone who knew Bo Yeong at school and never showed up again.

It has a nice message about mental maturity and doing what makes you happy when you can.

The art is pretty.

Not quite shoujou but also no josei

The story was enjoyable in the first half but dragged on after that, I stayed for Mr. Kim though XD, and the male lead is quite cute and mature. There was too much drama for my liking that were blown out of proportion. Aside from that, I could identify myself with the female lead since I'm also at that point of my twenties were everything feels pointless, financial and familial problems, academic setbacks and self-doubts arise quickly. Though that unrealistically resolved like a dream come true in the end, it was nice to see how things can turn out.

Dropped at 6

I couldn’t read anymore past chapter 6 The protagonist is such a doormat to everyone who knows her and she allows everyone to take advantage of her with a smile on her face. It’s just infuriating when the lead character is like this. She supposed to be intelligent but acts like a complete idiot.

Likeable

The story and characters are likeable. Minor unnecessary and over-the-top drama usually found in Korean romance. I can almost say it's a feel-good manhwa as serious conflict occurs only in the last 10-20 chapters. I do have to it that early chapters are bit dull, but once the MC enrolls in HS everything started to live up my expectation. Not to mention the humours are hilarious, as long as you don't think too much about plot and read this for pure entertainment.

Nb: I think however smart or sharp you are, you can be clueless at times especially when recognizing that someone you know actually looks like you. I've never met anyone who realizes she or he looks like someone they know, not until someone tell him or her so... Later in this manhwa, it is also explained that the MC and girl she poses as are not exactly similar but enough to deceive strangers' eyes. That is why the MC was sent to school far from Gangnam to avoid chance encounters with people who familiar with the girl she's role playing.

I had to do it...she's supposed to be smart!
So why is she so surprised that the girl she was tutoring, for quite some time btw, looks EXACTLY like her?
