1. author is really fucking good at depicting social anxiety and a REALISTIC setting with realistic and likeable characters. authors are so fucking shit at depicting social anxiety especially korean authors, what with the stigma against mental illnesses, and they act as if it can be cured or you can just “get over it”. how the author depicts social anxiety in one room TA is so visceral and real, and showcases how detrimental it is to someone’s psyche and ability to manage relationships, but at the same time also shows that with healthy emotional support and people who care for you, it’s possible to grow and even live with that anxiety.
2. the way they write jinhyeong is painfully well developed. hes not a hero neither is he a villain, hes written in a way that makes you heavily sympathise with him but you want to slap him sometimes because he makes some really bad emotional decisions, but you still love him anyway. Bro has more character development than ACTUAL real life people and he’s just so me sometimes like he’s so relatable it hurts.
3. author may or may not have a somno fetish (coughs coughs eunoh feeling up uyun in his sleep, seungbeom feeling up jinhyeong in his sleep)
4. author DEFINITELY has a hand and feet fetish (me too, 10/10 want to lick)
