Description
Jae-hee took a sip of hot coffee. I can’t sleep when caffeine goes into my body. “Have you finished drinking?”“Yes.”“Good job.” Jung-hoo smiled. The sound of him putting the mug on the table was especially loud. Then he stood up and approached Jaehee while loosening his tie. “You’re… now…”“I’m not going to let senior sleep tonight.” With her eyes wide open, she looked at Jung-hoo nearing her. “What are you doing?”“Don’t you usually scream? Aren’t you going to scream?”“Get out of the way, don’t mess with me.” When he touched her lips, the lips suddenly opened and Jae-hee was surprised and tried to let go of his hand. However, Jung-hoo grabbed Jae-hee’s hand and pressed it against his lower lip. “I kept thinking about you.” His moving tongue touched Jae-hee’s blunt calluses on the tips of her nails slightly. The hand holding her own was a fine hand without any callus. She was suddenly bothered by her calloused hand that was being held. “What are you thinking about? I’m still speaking.” White teeth bit her itchy finger. “Ugh…”“Sleep with me. Sunbae just nod your head. I’ll take care of the rest.” As I lowered my head gently, I could feel his black eyes examining my actions one by one.

My Thoughts on Hello, Sunbae
"Hello, Sunbae" promised a rollercoaster of emotions, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others. The premise, with its blend of adult themes, drama, and a dash of forbidden romance, certainly piqued my interest. I dove in hoping for a captivating story, and what I found was a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were definitely engaging. The dynamic between the leads, especially with the "cold protagonist" trope, kept me hooked. The flashbacks were particularly effective, painting a vivid picture of the female lead's struggles and her fierce determination to protect her younger brother. I found myself genuinely invested in her past and eager to see how it shaped her present.
What Works Well
The novel definitely shines in its emotional depth. The author successfully portrays the female lead's vulnerabilities and resilience, making her a character you can root for. I also appreciated the intensity of the romance, even if it occasionally veered into the realm of insta-love. The smut scenes, while not my primary focus, were undeniably well-written and added another layer to the complex relationship between the main characters.
Areas of Concern
However, the pacing and plot development left something to be desired. The second half felt rushed and relied too heavily on clichés. The female lead's tendency to run away, coupled with the male lead's "salt" responses, became repetitive and frustrating. The imbalance in their dynamic was also a recurring issue for me; I wanted to see a more equitable relationship, not one dictated solely by the male lead's infatuation. The insta-love felt too quick to me, even with the past connection. It would have been nice to see them get to know each other as the people they are now.

Final Verdict
"Hello, Sunbae" is a novel with undeniable strengths, particularly in its emotional portrayal of the characters and its steamy romance. However, the rushed pacing, reliance on clichés, and uneven power dynamic ultimately detract from the overall experience. If you're looking for a quick, emotionally charged read with plenty of spice, this might be up your alley. However, if you prefer a more nuanced plot and a balanced relationship dynamic, you might find yourself wanting more. I'd give it a tentative recommendation, but with the caveat that it's a flawed gem.
