It can be a basic question.

I made random shape to explain my situation. This object is basically box shaped and a round shaped hole is connected. enter image description here And these kind of shadows in both sides makes me frustrated sometimes... Weird shadow and gloss are on same simple surface without any doubles.

The mesh is just as itself, welded as one. Please take a look and tell me what's the problem.

And I'm new to topologies too, so I welcome advices for making good flows on mesh.

    $\begingroup$ please attach your blend file. You might have bad geometry, such as extra faces or doubled vertices, or you may just need to enable auto-smooth in object data properties. But it's hard to tell without looking at the actual blend file. $\endgroup$

The reason for this is that your object is shaded smooth, and it's smoothed around the sharp edges. Usually Autosmooth avoids this, but in your case it's not working because under Object Data Properties > Geometry Data you have stored custom data. To make Autosmooth work again, click on the button Clear Custom Split Normals Data.
