Brothers without a tomorrow never fails to amaze me and entertain me with such enjoyable stories. I love the bittersweet atmosphere of all their works. and the last couple (Ino and Kakia) contributed a lot to it. I followed the story throughly and there were no boring or filler chapters to kill the story flow. To me the story would have been just as beautiful if it ended with the first couple (lee bin’s insecurities about his immortality, his fear of losing his beloved and gok’s decision to become immortal for his sake were all elements that made me shed tears), however, I must admit that the two new couples of the second part added to the story many special elements: seolhyun’s past, his amazingly fluffy and healthy relationship with lee hwa and the way their relationship seemed to be meant to be from the start, the erasure of their memories and lee hwa’s mental travel in the past to recover them (as a literary means to reveal the whole story to the reader), ino’s backstory and his bittersweet love story with kakia, destined to end (since ino rejects kakia’s gift of immortality to die and reach his deceased lycan brothers) and leave kakia heartbroken for the whole eternity, kakia’s decision to love ino until his death and take care of his grave for the years afterwards… If the author decided to add a whole new part with seolhyun and hwa’s offspring I wouldn’t complain. This is the kind of story that should like… never end.

Haiga treats Kanae so well T—T, moreover their relationship is SO HEALTHY and developed in such a natural way~

I may not ironically have cried unstoppably from chapter 74 onwards. I was so moved Without Matthew there’s no redemption, no healing, no hope. Matthew was the one who waited. Matthew’s persistence and unwavering hope are what saved Jin in the end. He was the one who held onto that tiny thread of connection, even when it seemed hopeless. Matthew didn’t just bring Jin back into his life—he reminded him of the person he used to be, what his original purpose used to be. It made him realise how sidetracked he had been for so many years after Brandon took him in, that he had lost sight of his original purpose, consumed by the apparent need for survival and power. But above all, it reminded him that the reason why he entered the mob never was to climb the ranks, but to afford a dignified life for him and that little kid he wanted to protect at all costs. “I always choose him”: it’s not just love—it’s devotion, guilt, hope, and this desperate need for redemption all rolled into one. If Matthew hadn’t chased him, Jin would’ve stayed lost in that cycle of violence and power, forgetting what it was to feel again. And Jin, despite everything, chose him in the end. Not power, not ambition—just Matthew.
