I feel like there are so many plot threads that barely got tied up and didn't seem to matter in the end. The art is pretty but doesn't convey any emotion. Characters looked stiff and plain. The plot theeads are interesting, but aren't pulled tied enough to matter in the end. Like, it's interesting Doha and Yeonwoo knew eachother in middle school and you would think that would lead into something... But it was just a whispered comment that we couldn't even read? Doha's mom left him... And she doesn't even get a slight mention near the ending chapters. Mr. Hwang tried to kill him... Doha does something while he's away from MC... And I guess he's not after him anymore? I wish it also showed that Doha showed the security tape to his "brother", but even if that wasn't possible, the "brother" was so important to the story but we barely hear anything from the end. I will say that I liked Yeonwoo and Doha! Yeonwoos smart and Dohas funny, but I wouldn't say they're super intriguing. I guess I never really learned anything from the main story, I like it when story's have an over arching message told through the characters, but the threads don't line up clear enough for this to be the case. I guess Doha learned that he was worthy of love... But we never saw this journey?? It happened off-screen. Yeonwoo didn't learn anything and didn't really develop. I feel like Doha's past never mattered and I'm JUST realizing this... Does "brother" finally believe Mr. Hwang killed his dad?? I feel like since he forgives him he should've... But nothing has been said about believing him or news on Mr. Hwang
I do really like the side story! It's realistic and shows a side of relationships that BLs never really cover and it has a nice meaning to tie it up in the end.
Overall... The author has a lot of potential and I'm excited for their future work. But fleshing it out would've been so much better since the base was really good and had so much potential. I did rate this 7/10, that might go down to 6/10 after my just-done-reading high wears off. (￣∇￣")
Ahh I dont really know what to think.
