That was such a good read! I even shed a tear or two. Even though it’s a magical world, the protagonist and her daughter feel like such realistic characters to me. All the emotions and struggles felt real, and their decisions were completely comprehensible.
I did not expect this to be such a great overall read.
Definitely a recommendation!
I am actually impressed how realistic this is. This happens to more people than we realize.
Ive been saying the same!!
It's so realistic, in fact the dude I was dating back then was almost exactly like this. He was funny and nice at first but found out how utterly fake everything about him was after just a few months. Even tried to force sexual stuff in public and then played the victim afterwards, overly jealous, threatened to off himself over the smallest arguments, etc... just basically trash human being (at least Jeongwon is handsome AND fictional )
Like Jeongwon being like this was definitely not out of no where. It was clearly shown in the beginning that he was fake af and thats usually how this shit goes
I am so sorry that happened to you and so glad that he is your ex!
I have also encountered manipulation in a previous relationship. I feel and understand Inwhee because I was actually thinking that I am imagining things, especially when he tried to change my perception of things. I felt weak and needed time to think that he was not giving me, instead he overwhelmed me with his feelings of love and guilt.
These problems seem so simple from the outside, but if you are in the situation, it's a lot more complicated.
Right now, my dream scenario would be mugi realizing her self worth, objectively seeing that she is worth more than just breadcrumbs of attention, dumping his ass and living her best life until she encounters someone who is actually appreciating her.
Then comes his chasing arc and if not, years will pass and he will realize what he lost and sing the song ´the one that got away´ lol











I just reread the chapter in the main story. She dared to blame him for not seeking her out, after she abandoned her own son with an abusive parent. I don't feel sympathy for her at all. And creating a bond with Byul without Huyeong's consent is also beyond wrong. How dare they cross the line and create this situation. It was only ever Hyeseong's decision to do what he wants to do, and his family should have his back. i don't know if I am overreacting, but everything about this just feels wrong to me.
