Why let yourself be chained by choosing a side. Real life is a bitch and this story is a good reflection of it. You should read it whatever the outcome is. Enjoy and be swept by it instead of reading it only of one point of view. IT really downgrades the story if you ask me.
I didn't "choose" which pairing to root for.
Due to my personality and preferences, I felt drawn to the Jowoon X Haesoo pairing.
I can't help but feel invested in the characters in the story because of how well-narrated and well-drawn it is; you might argue that I'm restricting myself by investing my emotions in the story and characters but I personally regard it as a reflection of how good I think the story is.
If I found the story boring, then sure! I'd be able to read it without caring about the outcome. The thing is; I don't find the story boring - rather, I find it very interesting. :)
But then again... I wouldn't even be writing my original comment if I thought the story was boring because I'd have lost all interest in the story and characters, to begin with.
If I were an expert in dealing with my emotions then I guess I could read the story without "taking sides" but, at the moment, I'm not capable of doing so.
Fair enough.
... I'm just lurking around in the comments section, trying to find out when I'll finally gather the courage to read on. (￣∇￣")
I'm really attached to the Jowoon X Haesoo pairing and if they're not endgame, I'm gonna have to drop this one. I'm not saying Taekyung is a bad character; they're all great characters who happen to be selfish and unlikeable - in other words, they're all flawed; personally, I just don't like Taekyung with Haesoo but I'm hoping he'll spark some sense into Jowoon and Haeso, making them realise that they have to COMMUNICATE and figure out whether what they have together is LOVE or HATE. I'm obviously hoping it's the former. (〜￣△￣)〜
It's so well-drawn and well-written, however, it's JUST AS depressing and energy-consuming as it is aesthetically pleasing, if you get too emotionally invested in the characters... Which I, unfortunately, already am at this point.
If some of you wonderful people out there happen to be reading the Korean version which is about 4 chapters ahead, I think; PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE SPOILERS! <3
