When tragedy strikes and tears young Shinwoo’s family apart, the charming Han swoops in like a prince and saves the timid boy with his kindness. So it comes as a huge shock to Shinwoo when his new friend and crush suddenly ghosts him after graduation. Initially, Shinwoo just thinks that Han got tired of him due to his fickle ways. But when the two reunite as adults, it turns out that Han has strangely little memory of their time together. As he slowly recalls their past, however, Han realizes that the quiet boy left a surprisingly deep impact on him in all sorts of unexpected ways. And because Shinwoo is very much his type, he’s determined to do whatever it takes to win him over. There’s just one unanswered mystery lingering in the air between them: why exactly did Han forget about Shinwoo in the first place?

*Minor Spoilers*
Han, from a wealthy family, meets Shinwoo at school and basically saves him from jumping off the building. They were close in highschool but then drift apart (we don’t know why yet). Han pursues a career as an architect in Italy, where he faces an unfortunate accident resulting in amnesia. Obviously, the one person he can’t recollect is Shinwoo.
Although, Han can’t remember he’s basically only ever liked Shinwoo and even the guys he always goes for resemble him.
“it always starts with coffee”
Shinwoo has been through a lot and is extremally insecure about people leaving him.
Although this has all the tropes and even amnesia *gag* I surprisingly didn’t hate it at all.
The top may be a little bit of a douchebag but nothing irredeemable…so far…
So far, it has a great storyline and of course incredible art. While it does have some R18 scenes, that are integrated nicely without overshadowing the plot. The pacing, although a bit slow and occasionally bordering on boredom, complements the overall narrative. Overall, it provides a refreshing change to read a webtoon that isn’t overly explicit, placing a stronger emphasis on character development.
However, I think if there are more misunderstandings in the future its going to be a bit too frustrating to read. So, I’m hoping the author can come up with something interesting to keep the plot going.
