    3.5 stars
    This review contains spoilers. The setup made it easy to get into the story and root for the FL. But somewhere around the halfway mark onwards, it started becoming tedious to follow. It was incident after incident happening to her, and the first culprit was too easy to identify. I feel it could've been better with a more balanced story if the ML also faced some challenges that she could help him out on, especially since a key point was how she used to protect him a lot when they were kids -- I felt a big disconnect on this as she's so different as an adult. Sure they mature but if she was still half as assertive would've made the story more engaging. She got increasingly annoying in how she was passive and non-communicative towards the end.

    I give it 3.5 stars because the police theme is kinda rare, the ML is cool (so I wish we could've gotten to know him better), the art is pretty nice, and the story was kept short with good pacing. In fact, it was packed, just could've been packed with better arcs. I wouldn't have minded an additional few chapters if we could swap one of the FL's arcs with one more arc for the ML!

    Surprising depth and comedic balance
    Pleasantly surprised with this manga! The story and characters offer more depth than most in the "Adult Romance" genre, in fact it should be given more tags as just that doesn't do it justice.
    I find myself relating a lot to the MC's career struggles, personal insecurities and thought processes. The male lead is also refreshingly believable and endearing, not despite of but also because of his annoying aspects. The supporting characters also nicely add to the story with enough depth that doesn't become too much. All of them are multi-faceted portrayals and I appreciate the writer's effort in this aspect.
    Lastly, the reactions and cues are actually funny? I found myself LOL a few times and tearing up once already, and I'm only at chapter 10!

    Doting husband trope done right!
    Surprisingly doting husband who melts my heart, and I like following the MC's thoughts as she figures out her own feelings and her husband's intentions.

    Food Journalist and Chef power combination!
    A simple, straightforward story with relatable characters whose actions and motivations are believable. It's nice to find a series like this in a genre whereby the adult content is usually forcefully incorporated in an unrealistic manner. Thanks for making this free to read in full under Premium, I'll be following the future chapter releases!

    Hard to relate
    The stars are mainly for the art. The characters are too strange; the FL's thinking and sleeping habit (?) aren't relatable, and the ML's obsessive/possessive nature is far too creepy. This one is a pass for me.

    Drama dialled up 100x
    It's a series of short stories of women navigating marriage and romantic relationships. Love following each MC through her ordeals and the ML who support them are swoon-worthy! The drama also seems to be dialled up with each subsequent story. ^^ The current one (I'm at ch. 25) is such a trip with the outrageous characters, it's hilarious! It does border on predictable in how the art is deliberately different for villains before the dialogue even reveals their true nature. I also find the villains a bit one-dimensional and would appreciate their portrayals to be more nuanced and multi-faceted with more insight on their back stories.

    Important truths
    This one is a rare gem, and it gets better towards the end! Relatable, multi-faceted characters to carry a solid story about navigating relationships in adulthood. Highlights important truths/values everyone needs to know. Kinda didactic maybe, important nonetheless. Also love how it's told from both halves of a married couple. Highly recommended for human drama genre fans!

    Surprisingly sweet!
    This one is a bit of an unexpected gem in how the ML is the perfect balance of edgy yet sweet, and the back story melted my heart. The character designs are also a visual treat!
