Opposites indeed but they make it work

First of all the story. Be prepared for the characters to not get along at first, and even sometimes after. You have to see the seeds of softness and push and pull of their relationship.

The book cycles between their two perspectives of the same events mostly which sounds boring but because the two characters are so different I didn't find it so. The author also changes what parts to focus on, and sometimes adds things.

Vocabulary wise because it is based on a Korean novel there are Korean things in it like food and briefly talking about military service. There are footnotes provided for things the author/translator expects you not to know about. There is a range of vocab from computer science that is important for Sang Woo, to talking about sex and the abstract nature of it.

This book does a good job in exploring two very different people and how they would approach a relationship, or sex partners as it's called at first, especially when one of them barely has any experience.

There's a Korean drama of the same name but it cuts out a lot of the sex and related parts which is pretty important to the story. The book doesn't cover everything in the drama, you'll have to continue to book 2.
