(Read the manhwa's description before reading my review.) My first complaints about this webtoon are that it moves too quickly, the protagonist is pitiful and unlikable, and the plot attempts to make the antihero (Bora) sympathetic. As for what I enjoyed, it was the uniqueness of Jina and the stunning artwork. This is something you should binge rather than taking your time on.
Pacing left the chat when this was being created! All key plot points in a romance were shoved in for the last ten episodes, while the first 40 was just the main character trying (but failing miserably) to get over his ex-girlfriend.
My thoughts on
...
the protagonist Min are that he reminded me of the classic pitiful character. Now this trope isn't always bad when done correctly (Naruto, Howl, and Edward) but in this case it made Min feel annoying. Yes, I understand heart breaks hurt, but man, all Min did was think about how Bora hurt him, and he wasn't willing to change until the end. Bro was so obsessed he wrote a whole entire manga about her!
Bora was a great antihero but dang she got ruined when they gave her a back story in a whole 2 chapters, and you still can't understand why she acted as she did. Without spoiling too much Bora leads on Min for most of the webtoon then her backstory says she was treated differently for being hot. How does being over sexualized give you an excuse for being a total jerk?!
Now for the positive remarks... THE ART!!!! The colors fit each scene so well along with the lighting. Whether it was dramatic, sad, happy, or angry the colors and lighting added a lot to the emotion. People tend to struggle so much with this, but the author must've mastered it! Absolutely beautiful plus the author's style was unique!
Now best girl Jina was awesome. She had a total killer family, her backstory was inspiring, and she felt well written. Jina wasn't a stereo typical female lead or over powerful female lead; she had emotion and was certainly well thought out. She decided to work through things on her own but didn't feel ashamed to ask for help in later chapters. Probably one of the best female leads I've seen in a not-so well-known webtoon.
In the end this webtoon had a lot of high praise in the comments but if you really take a step back and look at the whole webtoon you'll see it is ever so slightly above average. I can see the appeal but there is many better webtoons, manhwas, and Mangas out there if you're looking for a romance. If a quick read is all you're looking for then be my guest and read Fool Me Twice. Remember to form opinions for yourself; don't let a random review hold you back. :D
