### Summary
The introduction of transfer student Kim Doyoung creates a rift between childhood best friends Seol Jaeha and Lee Hyun, as Hyun begins spending all his time with the newcomer. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly critical of Hyun, with many commenters labeling him a "shit friend" for so easily ignoring and replacing Jaeha. This reaction is frequently tied to the readers' own relatable experiences with friendship breakups, generating strong sympathy for Jaeha's feelings of being excluded and hurt. While some frustration is also directed at Doyoung for his interference, a minority of readers defend Hyun, suggesting he is simply oblivious and that Doyoung is the one actively blocking Jaeha. Despite the frustration with the friendship dynamics, a significant portion of the audience expresses excitement, having correctly identified the central plot as an "enemies to lovers" romance between the rivals, Jaeha and Doyoung. Many find this twist on the love triangle refreshing and eagerly anticipate the development of the main pairing's antagonistic relationship.
