lmao this made me laugh.
Well, I can't quite pinpoint it precisely, but whenever the deceased friends are brought up, it feels superficial. It's as though their existence solely served as a catalyst for Yiseon's tragic backstory, leaving them feeling underdeveloped. Despite having individual personalities and fragments of information about them, they lacked depth as characters. Maybe my expectations were too high—I struggled even creating six complex characters just to kill them off at the start. However, I firmly believe that for an audience to deeply empathize and garner strong attachment, a character must feel genuine. This absence of depth is why I couldn't emotionally connect with the friends; thus their portrayal felt lackluster and unengaging.
the lack of depth is bc of the lack of screentime they were already dead when the manhwa started so ppl probably know better than to get attached to them yk? and you can only put so many flashbacks until they start complaining abt it. i think its fine for them to be superficial since their only role is to give mc ptsd and ml a reason to be worried abt him anyway lol
the execution for this sort of closure for the friends is kinda lame but ok
