I was thinking the same about the obsession and dynamics between ml and fl, although I went one step further thinking how great the classical romance literature has been and how sappy, shallow, and predictable nowadays romance stories are. It made me lose a bit of respect for myself hanging around here instead of picking up books worth their salt. It made me depressed ╥﹏╥

Hey, I feel you. Although, I went backwards - I was wondering if reading all these cliché webtoons is the same as reading cheap modern romances. Then I remembered what a joy it is to read the classical romance literature and how different it was. And I immediately went to read (and re-read) a bunch, including Wuthering Heights, and so I made a connection. Let's enjoy classics!
I'm so slow, I just realized it might be inspired by Wuthering Hights... Not completely, of course, but the area, the family (a bit), and most importantly, how both mcs feel like they "share one soul".
