You said exactly what in feeling too... I still had some hope until the end, I hoped that Yoseob would get some help, that things would have become a bit better...
I don't know... I would've loved to see Yoseob finally have a normal or semi-formal life, to see Jaeha be more secure and be with his brother, to see Taeoh overcome his problems...
It just feels so tragic and harsh... if only Yoseob had had therapy since he was a child, maybe he wouldn't have ended like that... It's just so sad and realistic
Crazy people can and do usually find happiness too though! :P
This broke my damn heart. I knew it wasn't going to end okay because of the beginning flash forward, but i had a tiny sliver of hope that it would've been a bittersweet ending at least, rather than this sad ending. It honestly hurts me to think of how Jaeha's parents must be doing now, they lost both sons... I was REALLY hoping that none of the MCs would be any of the deaths, but kinda knew that was naive. On one hand, at least it was JUST Jaeha, but at the same time he's the worst one to die to me. He had it so hard, but at least he got closure with Taeoh and was trying to do the right thing in the end. I know Yoseob is fucking crazy, but i still wish he could've found SOME level of true happiness, i hate that the story took the absolute worst possible path where he's concerned. I was REALLY wanting him to get help and then Jaeha comes to pick him up in the future. I can appreciate the ending for being really well written, thought provoking and impactful, but it hurts and i wanted a happier ending. I mean, Yoseob thinks Jaeha's there, so that's a small comfort, but that comfort disappeared when Jaeha vanished. It's just all around sad, for everyone. Taeoh is scarred, Jaeha's parents must be devastated, Yoseob has a bit of a bittersweet ending as he thinks Jaeha's there but we know and it's just sad... I suppose Yura and Jaeha's friends were a warm welcome, they took a lot of the edge off. Jaeha just didn't deserve it. The story gave us a glimpse of what could've been the ending before throwing us back onto the crash course that had been set all along. ╥﹏╥ On a side note: The detective REALLY threw me off, it was weird that they threw in a doppelganger at the end there. I take comfort in that he soothes Taeoh and Yoseob with his presence though.
