I swear when jiwoon came in I was yelling "world star" and "beat his ass"
Deadass thought it would start like cherry blossoms after winter.
Sagold never disappoints.
In my opinion, I think that some people shit on the manwha because of its flaws here and there and deem it to be completely bad because of them. To me at least, It wasn't as bad as people say it is. I say that its all about being big enough to understand that its okay to like manwha that isn't the very best.
Even though there were many issues with the writing of the characters, misunderstandings, and loose ending, overall, it wasn't bad at all. For example, season one was really amazing, it blew me out of the water, and I actually really got invested into the plot after it was discovered sihoo was a hallucination.
Mind that I like telenovas, I think that the drama in this was really well added on, but the base of it tends to be shaky. The characters' arc too felt out of place especially in season two. Myeonghan was being completely oblivious to sihoo's feelings, and sihoo didn't help either. It also felt like seungchan-hyung felt a little out of place to be myeonghan's bf.
I also thought that the first half of season two was executed pretty well. It looked like the rest of the season was going to develop really well, but the season didn't end. . like we thought it was. I think sihoo was my overall problem. He kept going and going even after myeonghan had a bf and I found that a little toxic. Myeonghan was also a little too oblivious, ignored sihoo, and ran away from his feelings. While I don't completely disagree with the whole friendship thing with seungchan-hyung, I also didn't agree. It was a truce, yes, but it could've been done way better. If the author maybe adds a sequel where sihoo moves on, that'd make the overall story a little sweeter.
Either way, story adds drama really well. The first season got me to tears and made me realize how lonely myeonghan was. Gal-bi did a really good job in building each character and fleshing out their role in the first season. Even though the character building kinda goes to waste after, I still think it was pretty decent.
All in all, the manwha isn't that bad. I still really enjoyed it, and tried to look for the good lights in the manwha. Dumpster fires shine the brightest, and the mess created before the end was really engaging. I didn't hate it, but it could've been done better. The ending was kinda abrupt and looose, but the happiness of the characters is what matters. At least, they're somewhat happy.
I'm deadass confused, is this a sequel to "you are in the blue summer" or is it the prequel to it?
It's the sequel. You can tell by the dates. And you can try googling it :*
The manwha wasn't a bad story itself. I mean, it fit together pretty well, and it wasn't as confusing like some people say it is. I would just say it's like making a puzzle fit together with puzzle pieces from different boxes.
The ending felt really rushed, and some of the characters didn't have enough behind them. The story also felt really quirky, and it didn't really "fit" as much as I thought it would.
I love how one minute its a sudden erotic scene and the next its an action scene
