I began reading this not expecting much, although was pleasantly surprised. At times the story can feel fast-paced, as well as slightly rushed, however, that simply starts to become the main appeal of the whole thing. It gives off the feel of a shoujo, while also having elements of comedy and maturity, which keep the story and characters from being devoured by cliche. There are no incredibly deep characters or unique plot points throughout, so if you're planning on reading this for drama or are a fan of characterisation, this may not be for you. This is more so aimed at readers who want an enjoyable story you can easily read whenever you'd like. Although don't get me wrong, it does have ideas, etc, that carry over throughout the chapters, for example, multiple small arcs which all get resolved quite quickly - something I rather enjoyed. The two main things I can see annoying people when reading this would be the main character, Wi Suk-Hee, and the art style. She seems to be your rather typical romance mc, making a few bad decisions and having a knack for getting in some questionable situations. However, she's not stupid, has decent taste in men, and is pretty relatable, so she wasn't a turn-off for me, at least. Along with this, the art style can seem a little off at times, but you get used to it. Anywho, Arrogance and Romance sets out exactly what it aims to achieve - a cute, quirky look on the main character's life. It's worth a read. Also, it gets uploaded incredibly often, probably even once or twice every two days, so you won't have to spend forever waiting for updates!
