Manga Match 30 Doridosim

It's the long three day weekend, I'm all alone because everyone left me to go travel or go home, yesterday I helped out with senior banquet for my club which in total took 7 hours plus the hour I spent doing a sort of pre-hangout my upperclassman kind of roped me into, and I'm exhausted. I don't want to do work right now, so I'm coming at you with another manga. LOL honestly there's just so  much manga because it's easier to read in between classes than anime. Like I always forget my earphones and I don't like watching things without sound, so manga is kind of the only option. Also I realized since I have lecture in one of the biggest lecture halls on campus, I think people are actually looking at my phone lol. Also I can't wait for school to end in two weeks. My roommate is like a hyena when she laughs, but magnified so you can hear her 5 doors down, and her snoring is atrocious.

Something that kind of sucks about being an introvert is the fact that I get so tired after excessive social interaction. Like I had an adequate amount of sleep, but I just want to go back to sleep right now. Also I might have tonsillitis, but I can't tell because the on-campus clinic is closed until Tuesday. RIP, hope I last that long.

{Spoilers, but you already know the main guy and girl are gonna end up together so}

So the story mainly revolves around this nice guy named Kang Dol and his love life. There's nothing really special about him, he's pretty awkward and he's kind of overshadowed by his popular friend Hoo so he seems more like a traditional background character more than anything. But, the most popular girl, Dosim, in the theater department sees his kindness and falls in love with his sweet nature. Plot twist though, the two originally get together when Dol gets drunk and mistakenly confesses to Dosim instead of his actual crush, Dosim's friend Yang Yang. Yikes. Dosim is over the moon with happiness, but Dol doubts the genuineness of her feelings, as he had a past relationship where he was just used and thrown away by his high school crush who was very much the most popular girl in school, similar to Dosim's social status. However, Dol finally realizes how sweet Dosim really is, but things get kind of messy as Dosim realizes that Dol didn't mean to confess to her in the first place and Dol's friend Hoon becomes this competitive love interest.

It's your very typical sort of school life, romance, sort of set up. I think one thing that's nice about this is that Dol isn't perfect. He still gets jealous of Dosim hanging out with other people, but also doesn't want to come off as overbearing. He has a sense of how much is too much, but he also really loves Dosim in this awkward sort of way which is endearing. Dol is the classic nice guy, a prime example of nice guys not finishing last.

If you're looking for another manhwa to read, this is a pretty good one. It's got a pretty standard romance plot line in a university setting. There's nothing super standout, except some of the characters and their eccentric backstories I suppose.

LOL maybe I need to branch out into other genres, this romance-school life combination is starting to become too familiar.

Ah yeah, this girl was also a minor source of conflict in the story, she's kind of Dol's counterpart in a way? She made me kind of sad because she was so nice and noticed Dol for being a really spectacular human being, but because in Dol's heart there was only room for Dosim she was kind of sidelined.

LOL something that's so relatable is how Dol sees himself as being super ugly in a "how could anyone like someone like me" kind of way

ASDF it ended pretty cute with the two of them getting couple rings

I think something that's also pretty cute is the name of this manhwa. It's Dosim's name and her pet name for Dol put together.
