Best psychological thriller I've read in recent years. The author did such a SPLENDID job at keeping the mystery going by giving us only Doyoung's pov and thrusting us right into the action. We don't know Hyunjin and that works SO WELL. Well-crafted characters, amazing plot-twists, high emotional stakes and a perfectly delivered ending. Amazing.
This has a major flaw in the ending imo, but I loved the rest so much that I can forgive that. A thriller in the background, moral grey characters, a developing relationship that feels good to read. There's a part where Weon thinks about all the plans he had to force Hanyul to be his and how pathetic he found himself to be when he was unable to go through with them... so good. The way Hanyul comes to care for him, the bitter-sweet ending... amazing.
