To begin with, this manhwa contains following trigger warnings: Dubcon/coercion
This series could have easily become a 10 for me if not for those warnings. If you are someone who doesn't like dubious consent at all, don't read. A third of the smut scenes could even be considered abuse in my opinion, but the author tries to justify it by making the other person end up liking it. I personally had my brain off for those scenes since it wasn't the main couple and the rest of the story is SO GOOD.
The story is about three female best friends who live together, and their romantic relationships,

with Eunsung being the FL. While it's very romance focused, the main selling point is how the friendships between the women are depicted. It's not perfect but very relatable and wholesome, and a friendship I wish for everyone to have in their lives.
Eunsung is one of my favorite FLs ever, since she actually has high emotional intelligence, a strong will, and doesn't take anyone's manipulative bullshit. The scenes with her and the ML always either gave me a good laugh or a fluffy feeling. There is no long "misunderstanding arc" but they communicate very well with each other. Drama still happens, just in a healthy way.
- Topics that are handled well: bullying, sex positivity, body insecurities (Minsuh has a fat body type which was drawn very realistically), lesbian relationship (evolves really fast but that's what I also see IRL), mental health (not directly named but I assume Borderline Personality Disorder).
- Topics that were not handled well: BDSM (dub con here), male body shaming (e.g. for their small d*ck) and shaming them for their inexperience (doesn't happen often though, mainly in the beginning)
Art is consistent, the coloring is pretty and every character can be differentiated from each other.
There are many smut scenes, but they fit well into story so it's not too frequent. However, sometimes the scenes are a bit short. The ones that are not short have good foreplay in it and get really hot, at least those with full consent.
All in all: I highly recommend this if you can tolerate dubcon, if you like smut with good characters and story writing, and if you like a satisfying ending that makes you wish to have the same healthy group of friends and relationships.
