This story was so promising in the beginning. I’m a fan of slow burns but not like this. The slow burn is enjoyable when they both long for each other but for whatever reason can’t be together just yet. But this type of slow burn is inefficient and unsatisfying. Because it’s hard to believe that in this day and age (this story is set in a modern period) two adult men lack so much emotional depth. You mean to tell me two grown men don’t know if they like the other or not? I’m assuming is due to Koreans lack of communication skills. But this is beyond that. Plus, SPOILER. This story dragged soooo much and just in the last four chapters Jewon confesses and they fuck and start dating. The conclusion to the story, after so much dragging and inability to identify their own feelings, was too abrupt to the point of being boring. I still come back out of habit to proofread my own translations, but I give it a 4/10.
