거짓말을 싫어하는 사장님은 자기 회사 직원이 가짜 맞선 상대였다는 걸 알게 되면 해고할 게 분명하다! 태무에게 정체를 숨겨야만 하는 하리는 필사적으로 태무를 피해 다닌다. 하지만 쉴 새 없이 얽히게 되는 이 상황은 대체…! 평온하게 회사를 다니고 싶은 회사원, 신하리와 한번 마음 먹은 건 굽히지 않는 사장님, 강태무가 펼치는 스릴 만점 술래잡기. 과연 그 결말은?
That ending broke my heart. This is why you COMMUNICATE people! You love someone, TELL THEM. You have questions you want answers to, ASK them and DON’T assume!
5, I need to read the next one right now, stars.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
4.5 stars. The main couple's storyline was amazing - we get a ton of progress on their romance and the hidden identity is cleared up. Hari and Taemu are finally spending quality time together and clearly falling for the other and don't know how to be normal about it. 5 stars for their storyline in this volume. I am so excited to see how they continue to fall for each other.
The rating was knocked down because of the secondary romance. We seem to be moving backwards with their relationship and it's annoying. They were so open in volume one and two but now they can't talk to each other about the assumptions they are making? This plotline was so annoying. I hate "the other woman" in most stories and it is extra annoying here since these two had been so cute together before. It just feels dumb and drawing out their romance for no reason. Hope this gets cleared up in the next volume and we find better ""shenanigans"" for these two.
I could see on a reread bumping this up to 5 stars.
Such a cute series. I genuinely really enjoy the characters and their motivations! I love seeing more of the side characters and their relationships with one another and the main two characters. Just a fun read!
While there were some things I didn’t like (which I’ll mention in a bit), I loved the moments between Hari and Mr. Kang so much (even more now that it’s my second time reading these chapters), Hari’s hilarious reactions to everything, and the fact that they ate so much fried chicken and Hari's family owns a fried chicken restaurant (I love crispy fried chicken, fried chicken and fudgey chocolate cake are my two most favourite foods) that I ended up not minding them as much and decided to just rate this volume 5 stars. I really enjoyed this volume, it was so much fun!
As I mentioned in my review of vol. 1 and 2, I have actually read these chapters before the physical volumes were published in English. I didn’t finish this series, although did read up to I think the 40s and enjoyed them. I’m very bad at finishing book series and tv shows, not because I wasn’t enjoying them (some people think that if you didn’t finish a series, then that means you didn’t like it but that’s not true, sometimes things just happen), but because either I get bored waiting for the next chapter or book so I’ll find something else to read and then get distracted by that series and so on, or I might have other reasons. Anyways, this is a reread, so were vol. 1 and 2. It’s been a while, so it was fun reading this series again and I remembered how much fun I had with this series the first time.
Yes, what Taemu Kang did in vol. 2 was not good, especially since because of it there is so much unnecessary drama, but Yeongsuh seeing Sunghoon with her rival/enemy and immediately assuming they’re on a date, she doesn’t even text or call him later to ask him his side of the story. Girl, if you want to be in a romantic relationship with somebody, don’t just assume things, communicate with each other! Yes, sometimes you can’t believe what the other person is saying but it’s still better to ask the other person what happened and then see what you think could be true. So much for loving him. You don’t even trust him and you don’t communicate properly with him, that’s not a loving romantic relationship! And while I do love when the male lead gets jealous (like Mr. Kang in this volume), I didn’t like it with Yeongsuh because she just ran away and didn’t try to do anything about it, it’s like she already gave up.
Then Yeongsuh puts it into Hari’s head that the reason her boss is being so nice to her is because it’s revenge. To me, even when I read this chapter the first time, it felt like she was just mad at Mr. Kang for what happened with the guy she claims she loves so she’s taking it out on her best friend even though it’s her fault that Hari’s stuck in this mess in the first place (I’m not saying it’s a bad thing since I love them separately and together but just pointing out that she needs to stop screwing with Hari’s life just because of her own selfishness. Just because you’re having trouble in paradise, doesn’t mean she should as well. I can’t forgive her for this one.
I have read a few of the next chapters the first time I read the web comic but since I want to read the whole series physically, I’m going to have to wait for the next ones to be published (vol. 4 is releasing near the end of February and vol. 5 is in May😭), but I don’t think I can wait until May, so who knows, maybe I will just read the rest of the chapters online after reading the physical vol. 4 because is too far away. One things for sure, after a few more chapters, I will be reading the rest of the series for the first time, hopefully they’re as good as this volume and hopefully the ending is good.
Overall, my favourite couple from this series is still Taemu Kang and Hari Shin, now even moreso. They’re just more interesting and fun. Plus Hari’s reactions to everything are the best and right now Yeongsuh annoys me and we barely saw them spending time with each other and getting to know each other. Doesn’t exactly give me much to go with.
February 20 (vol. 4 release date) can’t come fast enough.
