There is a guilty pleasure in watching a character choose the bad boy over the stable best friend. It validates our own past mistakes. Most adults have been a "love junkie" at least once in their lives (the ex we kept going back to; the person who left us on read for three days). Reading these stories is a form of catharsis.
It is important to distinguish this manhwa from a similarly titled Japanese manga, Love Junkies
: The protagonist who is willing to risk her reputation and social standing for a "forbidden" love.
