yuri is incredibly unhinged and deeply problematic, yet mr. lee is so kind, patient, and understanding in dealing with all of his behavior. honeslty, the story didn’t sit quite right with me—it felt oddly written at times—but it still managed to open my eyes to a lot. mr. lee is often seen as a pushover for responding the way he does, but that just made his character even more compelling. i ended up falling in love with their dynamic and development, and i was really hoping to see more of them. it’s a shame that this is where their story ends.

at first, i was put off by how nosy jung yohan was about someone else’s love life—it felt intrusive and immature. but as the story progressed, he realized his mistakes, acknowledged how he hurt moogyeong-hyung, and came to understand his own feelings for him. in a conservative society, that kind of emotional honesty isn’t easy, but he owned up to it, apologized sincerely, and confessed. now that they’re dating, all the growth and development feel worthwhile. i’m genuinely happy with how far he’s come—it made the whole journey feel meaningful, not a waste of time at all.
it’s the perfect expression of how they had once been lost in their own solitude—and now, their once-empty worlds intertwine as one.
this was such a heartwarming read—i adore both of them so much that it’s making me tear up. they way they interact is beautiful, and i especially love tane, he’s just the cutest (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) ‹
this was one of the best psychological manhwa’s i’ve ever read, i’m fully absorbed in how the story presents itself—the weight of their past traumas and the upbringing that shaped them into who they’ve become. it’s comforting to see that they have each other to rely on as they continue to live. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
FUCK ITS MAKING ME BAWL MY EYES OUT
i’d say their relationship wasn’t particularly good, but it wasn’t terrible either. this level of toxicity feels almost normal to me, since relationships naturally come with many complications. i appreciate how realistic it was, but i still found it rather boring to read, as there wasn’t much depth beyond that.
r-read this again ‘cus i absolutely love their dynamic, i agree that it wasn’t the best—nevertheless, it’s still a good read and the title lives up to its name :DDD
i need more of this manga, i’m honestly in love with both of them—they’re such a pure joy, the way they treat each other is literally so heartwarming (о´∀`о)
i keep coming back to this—read it three times now, and each time it gives me something new to think about ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
