When i first read this manhwa, I thought it was pretty good, it had cute characters, pleasing art, and had no excessive or unneeded drama or even concluded on a bad ending. I would have given this manhwa an 8.0 or even higher back then, However, as I've been revisiting manhwas like this, the storyline, character development don't seem that interesting to me anymore, it just seemed to be an ordinary, vanilla romance story. I thought that we didn't get to learn much about the characters, even though the manhwa had 69 chapters (hehe) spoilers ahead -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I liked how fml had a past traumatic experience they had to battle mentally in the present, but I would have found it more engaging if more story was added, rather than the fmc just "accepting and moving on to date ml" -[when fml and ml was in a relationship in middle school, fml was pressured by friends to be the 'idle' gf, rather just being herself, and eventually broke up without saying anything to ml because of how depressed she felt, constantly being pressured and coerced by friends. In the present, she meets ml again and overcomes her past experiences and dates ml]- I would have found myself more immersed in the character, and would have given this a good rating.  Overall it was okay, I recommend it, however don't expect too much

Gatabutata is a wholesome college romance manhwa about a boy and a girl who dated in middle school and are reunited again in college. The manhwa explores what went wrong in their relationship and how it is rebuild again. Hyejin is still learning to overcome her trauma from when she dated Haejun in middle school. Haejun is very understanding and observant. He is very sincere in building his relationship with Hyejin. Hyejin and Haejun's best friends, Yumi and Hansol,  respectively, were great supporting characters. The story was a decent read I really enjoyed the relationship between the four friends. I thought that the appearance of the annoying upperclassmen was unnecessary. I also loved the relationship between the second couple. I thought the art was average. I thought the proportions were off and that their feet were too big. It also bothered that Hyejin and Haejun's eye colour were the same. I recommend the manhwa if you want to read about a relationship between four friends and overcoming one's trauma.

Basically both FL and ML dated in middle school but FL broke up with ML. They reunited once again in uni. ML doesn’t know FL lives next door to him but he’s still smitten about her and doesn’t have anything bad to say about the breakup. He’s literally a cutie pie 😍😍
