Summary

Six women takes all kinds of risk to keep their secrets hidden.

First Read

December 8 2014; Chapters 1-6

     Today, I have read the first six chapters of Dear, Only You Don't Know. This story revolves around six women and each is keeping a secret from a friend or a loved one. Jin Hui, is known to be a lovely wife who owns a pet hotel by her husband but is secretly a boss of the Golden Dragon Gang. Doh Ari has been rejected by men several times and promised herself to not fall in love again but now is hiding her feeling for her co-worker. Na Young Min is a makeup artist that covers herself with cosmetic products to hide her true face. Jin Mi is a middle schooler that falls in love with a 30 year old man and lies about her age to match his. Chae Rim hides her "nerdy" hobby to seem cooler in front of her crush. Madame Mi is a bar manager that holds dark past. So far, I would say the story is kind of messy—in which i do not blame the author because it is still the introduction portion of the story. There are still a lot to be introduced and developed, thus I look forward to it. In my opinion, I would consider only three of them to be hiding a deep secret. The rest seems to be childish. I am just curious how these secrets will affect them. The illustration for this webtoon I would say is excellent; it is visually amusing, it is colorful with great portrayal. Like I said, the plot is a little complex at the moment, I personally think that the characters are quite weird which is what intrigues me the most. Because of the characters' weird persona and the situation they are in, I am encouraged to read further.

Final Read

December 17 2014; Chapters 7-40

     In the beginning of this webtoon, the story was quite confusing. However, as I got deeper in the story, the plot slowly unravels. It eventually clear out some of the confusion I have from the beginning of the story, but there are a lot of things I am still confused about. The plot of the story seems childish at first but I later realize that this webtoon actually contain deep matters. The story deals with scenarios like, bullying, depression (depression of a dog. It's pretty deep) and personal problems. Also, it plays around stereotypes which is quite intriguing.


A/N: She stood up to the man by the way. She is quite a fighter. Literally.
     Something I would say I really like is the illustration of this webtoon and its format. As I read, it gives me this feeling that I am watching it rather than reading it. It sounds odd but it provides an illusion that the characters are actually moving and speaking. Something i do not like about this webtoon, as I said, is that the story is still confusing and complex and I would say that is the only problem I have. But over all, I was kind of hesitant in the first chapter, but I wind up to enjoy this webtoon.
