Love "triangle" where both options are terrible, because the author made it that way. Blade (dark-haired guy) was a bully to Noemi as a kid, and even grown up/as a teenager, is still immature (kissing Neomi without consent, pretending she's his girlfriend when she's not, etc.). A traumatic backstory doesn't excuse terrible behavior. It makes it "understandable", but that doesn't mean it should be forgiven. His behaviour stems from a neglectful family and traumatic past, but that doesn't excuse when he is being a terrible person. Soren (blonde-haired guy) is nicer. Despite this, according to the prologue/future events of the story, Soren will forget who Noemi is and not remember their love as a result, setting Blade up as the guy who will be with Noemi. I hate the "showing the future in the prologue and then the rest of the story catches up to that point" because it takes forever in the past before catching up with time in the present. We have to see everything that happened as kids/teens before seeing them in the events of the prologue. Why even have this in your story then? Tell the story without showing the future, because then readers have to spend an inordinately long amount of time until it gets to that point.  Anway, even though Soren is nicer to Noemi, as a kid and teen, many readers think Blade is better for Noemi, because of the overdone enemies-to-lovers trope. Research has shown that, for the relationships that work out this way, marrying your friend is actually better for you because you were already friends, which leads to a happier/more fulffiling relationship. But no, the author has to give Blade most of the screen time. Soren barely has a chance, and most readers have already made up their mind on Blade. The events of the prologue are not helping, showing that Soren will forget Noemi, and their relationship is doomed because it is Blade there to comfort her. Author, if you wanted readers to be invested in Soren, maybe don't show in the very first chapter he'll forget Noemi, thus giving readers no attachment to the relationship. And even in the rest of the webtoon, he gets much less screentime than Blade. Finally, Noemi. She is not a mean person, is smart, pretty, etc. Basically, the standard romance story female main character caught in a love triangle. And she takes being naive to another level. Because she took part in a play with Blade (where he kissed her without consent), other girls at her school see this and get jealous. So what do they do? Get a bunch of boys/thugs to kidnap Noemi, where they almost sexually assaulted her, and did cause her bodily harm/forcefully cut her hair. After Blade "saves" her (because it's his fault in the first place she's in this situation), she chooses not to call the authorities/expose the girls for what they did. Her excuse? "To not cause more trouble". WTF? These are literally people out to get you, cause you harm, and can/will do it again in the future if they knew for sure they wouldn't be caught that time. And yet you refuse to bring this up to the authorities? It's not like they are rich/could bribe the authorities either. They deserve to be in jail for this. TLDR, the story is not that great. The characters are not that great. And the art is fine, but clearly takes inspiration from anime/manga, with big eyes on small faces, etc.
