GOSH I can’t with Han Seok and Ki Woon. Like, Jaehun might’ve vented a lot and I get that it can be overwhelming, but for Ki Woon to seriously think he could hurt a cat?? that’s INSANE. And because of that misunderstanding, Jaehun ends up traumatized and gets completely cut off. If Ki Woon could believe that so fast, then honestly it feels like he was already looking for a reason to drop him from the start.
And Han Seok… gosh. Always butting in just bc it involves his lover Ki Woon. Like sure, you wanna be protective, I get it. But that doesn’t give you the right to treat other people like crap when you don’t even know the full story. It just makes you come off arrogant and insensitive.
My heart goes to Hyun and Jaeha. They suffered so much and that shit made me go CRAZY. I hate how they antagonized Jaeha so bad, like wtf. The 1st couple.. FUCKASS, SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK. My HATRED towards them is insane. The second couple deserved so much better.
ALSO IM SO HAPPY FOR THE 3RD COUPLE.. SIGHS. FINALLY.
Not the best... but its okay ig. I wouldn't reread it tho. Personally, its lacking in depth and there's plot holes. Like if the emperor for example didn't believe in the prophecy, how come he isolated the mc? it just doesn't make any sense. Many of the characters come across as one-dimensional too, though there are a few moments where some show more depth. BUT THATS IT. The ending was.. its fine i guess. Happy ending core ig.
I feel so bad for Oleg. Maybe it’s the empath in me, but genuinely, no one in this manwha gives a fuck about him. Yes, I do know he bullied the MC in the past, but he's also a victim of his surroundings. I'm not saying this to justify the wrong things he did—in fact, MC's hostility towards him is valid. But I just… don't like how he is being treated now. He's still a kid, and I'm sure if the adults were adulting, he would've been such a great person. It's a bit frustrating for me to see the MC treat him sometimes , especially since he's still a kid and she's a grown-ass woman mentally.
But then again, I don't blame her, because Oleg was an asshole in the novel, and the MC also can't afford to lay her guard down or be emotionally invested because of her circumstances. But dang it, Oleg got me, y'all. Maybe because I relate to him in a sense—like just wanting to get validation when you've been emotionally neglected and abused. And realizing this now, he had no one… both from the novel and the present .
Well, I HOPE that changes as he progresses his relationship with the MC and we get to see him develop more as a person.
Also Tracy doesn't know that he revealed her plan on his own, without being coerced. She thinks the maid delivered her threat so she thinks he did it to save himself
...... SIGHS 2X
“In this world, there’s no such thing as a worthless life.”
That line hits me especially hard when you think about who he becomes: an older man living with Alzheimer’s, full of regret, fading memories, and a life that seems to have slipped away from him. But what the story shows so beautifully is that even if he forgot, even if he never got to say the things he needed to, his life still had meaning.
He loved someone deeply. He felt joy, pain, longing — all the things that make a life worth living.
He made mistakes, yes. He hesitated. He lost time. But he also remembered, even at the end, what mattered most. And that memory was enough to reach across time — to remind his younger self (and all of us) that just existing, just feeling and loving, makes a life meaningful. The story is also a reminder to take the chances we get while we still have them. To speak when we’re afraid, to listen when someone reaches out, and to really see the people around us.
Because sometimes we don’t realize the value of a moment until it’s already gone.
And sometimes, it takes looking back (or forward) to realize that even a life full of regrets can still be filled with meaning.
ANYWAY, IM GONNA CRY IN THE CORNER NOW.
"Loving you feels like loving myself" BRO THESE TWO ARE SO MADLY INLOVE — IM GALLOPING. This is literally my fav line in the novel. The way they love each other is literally so beautiful. Neither of them asked to be seen, yet somehow, they saw each other.

To be honest, the MC is not that bad but I do understand why people will relate to him or hate him. He's okayish written too.
First of all, he’s not really a good guy, but he’s not bad either—he’s morally grey. He’s selfish, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. But I get why people might be turned off by him wishing death upon or hating that poor innocent transfer student, Taesan, just because his crush likes him. (Fyi I will die for taesan)
Despite that, the MC still helps him. Sure, it’s partly to “get rid” of him in a way, but he’s clearly conflicted about his feelings—the guilt. He tries to reassure himself, like in that one chapter where he let Taesan sleep over, telling himself that he’s only helping to look "good." But the story implies he feels empathetic toward him, especially when he says “don’t misunderstand” in that panel. That line hints that his motives aren’t completely selfish—there’s a part of him that cares, whether he admits it or not.
There are also moments where he feels disgusted, knowing that Taesan sees him as "the light" or "savior" when that was never his true intention. But on the other hand, he takes advantage of that image. By allowing Taesan to idealize him, he gains a certain level of control over the situation, which he uses to his benefit—like when he advised Taesan to transfer schools, supposedly to escape bullying, but in reality, to get rid of him.
His character is consistent too. Since he’s a people pleaser who’s always lived the way everyone wants him to, it makes sense that he’d focus so much on his crush. His mood becomes dependent on him, and he constantly does favors—desperately trying to be liked. Even after being hurt multiple times by him, he still expects him to care. And even after getting beaten in that chapter, he quietly cleans up the mess himself, not because he’s okay with what happened, but because he doesn’t want his caretaker to worry. The fact that he goes so far as to lie about it shows how deeply ingrained his need to keep up appearances and not be a burden.
Plus, he’s so real for crying. He doesn’t want to be the villain, the conflict, or just a side character in his crush’s story… but he is, and he’s painfully aware of that.
Anyway, this is just my take. I know not everyone will agree, and that’s fine. So please take this with a grain of salt. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Jun feels more human in my opinion
he is not more human, he’s the most unrealistic written character in this manhwa what bfr
As ive said "in my opinion", i respect ur take on that however me saying hes more human - its because he's selfish , he's jealous, he's a ppl pleaser and so on which for me represents emotions of a human being rather than just kind. Anyway you do you. It was just my take on that
i cried so much its not even finny..
