This was okay. It could have been a little longer to be honest. I liked the story they were telling, and the art style was good, but then it seemed to slightly decline; making it pretty passable in the least. Jung-In Yoo met the first woman he ever loved, Haneul Park, in school (who had a thing for smart, sincere, and hard-working guys) - she was the reason he pushed himself so hard to have good grades and get a well paying job at the bank - but it was all for not, as Haneul married someone else before Jung-In could even admit his true feelings for her. Jung-In even quit his job at the bank when a stood up to a creep employer - and the creep got him in trouble. He ends up working at a guesthouse with Seung-Ji Choi (who also has feelings for him). However, things get complicated when Haneul crosses path with him again, and decides to stay at the guesthouse for a month. After Jung-In brings Haneul back to the guesthouse, due to getting drunk...it leads to them kissing...which of course leads to them making passionate love - Jung-In also ends up taking Haneul's virginity; which is odd, giving that he's an adult. During a small party, Haneul reveals that she's also divorced - and during karaoke...Jung-In and Haneul have themselves some more tender loving. The two began hanging out and bonding much more - Jung-In also planned on finally revealing his true feelings for Haneul. But when Seung-Ji invited them for some alcohol and chicken, she reveals that Haneul's ex-husband came and begged her to take him back. Jung-In and Haneul talked things over: "revealing that Haneul wishes to stay with Jung-In, but feels an obligation to work things out with her ex, as he helped her family when they were in a jam. Jung-In also discovers that Haneul did have a crush on him as well back in school, and even tried to get close to him...but his obsession on becoming worthy of her, actually prevented him to do it." Jung-In and Haneul decide to use the time they have left to make their moments memorable by having wild and passionate sex for as long as they can (the guy even considered getting the girl pregnant). On her last day, Haneul she explains that she's too much of a coward to take the real step into ending things with her ex, and staying with Jung-In; and so she allows Jung-In to take that step by having him call her by midnight. That night, as Jung-In was pondering his thoughts, Seung-Ji used this opportunity to express how she truly felt about him. She successfully seduces him, and admits that she's liked him since the start, and her feelings for him have only grown (and she has been jealous of Haneul for the entire time). Jung-In is torn up, but he eventually gives into his lust. Five years later, Jung-In and Seung-Ji are happily married, with a son, and living in Seoul - though Jung-In still wonders how Haneul is doing and if they'll ever cross paths again, but wishes her all the best. While I did think the story was good with all the relationship drama (and basically a love triangle), I still think it would have been better if it was a little longer - as well as having Seung-Ji actually partake in the love triangle love affair with Jung-In and and Haneul - maybe having a ménage à trois on Haneul's last day. Just something to help make the chemistry between Jung-In and Seung-Ji; and make it more believable. 'Cause Jung-In's whole talk about them being fated to be together...it just didn't work, because...well it didn't happen until the very last chapter - that's not how you build up chemistry between two people. I don't know if other people will like it, but I suppose they should at least give it a chance.
