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. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
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.
just freaking kiss already—i am so impatient, badly waiting for them to finally go out w each other, start kissing, and do stuff … privately tho (the struggle of reading shounen-ai) but hey, they’re so cute—do they even know that it’s legal now? (i’m talking about their relationship btw, i get to decide LMAO)
i had forgotten about this manhwa for a while, but now that i’ve picked it up again and read this far, it gave me such a bittersweet feeling. honestly, when i first came across it, i thought it’d be boring—just another typical romance manhwa. but now that i’ve read more, i understand why it resonates so much. the more i read, the more i realize how deeply human the characters are portrayed.
i’m rereading this peak story again after all these years, and it wrecks me—just like it did the first time. the plot, the pacing, the sheer depth of the characters… everything about it still feels so vivid. the way their struggles were written, especially the psychological nuances in their portrayal broke me all over again. it hurts seeing how much they had to go through—how cruel the world was to them, how much they had to endure. and yet, somehow amidst all that pain, they still found solace in each other. i don’t think i’ll ever stop coming back to this story. the story is just so beautifully written. oh how i love my dear lewellyn and shavonne ╥﹏╥











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.
