So, there's a lot I want to say and a lot I simply won't be able to put into words. But I quite literally have to talk about this masterpiece of literature and art.
I read this in two sittings, I didn't think this would be good. Just a random read to cure my boredom. But it was much, much more than that. I've read plenty of 'Romance' books. But I feel like this is the only one that truly embodies love. And not even just y'know, love.
It's a mix a different loves. Unrequited loved. Widowed love (twice technically), forbidden love, and unconditional love. And it's all portrayed in a way that's so easy to understand that you can't help but enjoy it as bittersweet as it all can be.
Especially with the brother, I can imagine how hard it was to loose the only person you felt love you, only to find them again and see that they no longer love you but another. But he just went about it in all the wrong ways, which made his reasoning so terrible. The way he clung to Soongap with everything he had but refused to understand that Soongap wished to do the same with who he loved. It made him such an infuriating character especially with how well he was written.
But I still didn't want him to die? I think the ending he got was perfect for him and his character. He finally let go of Soongap after all that time.
I'm sure I could go on and on about Soongap's and Bongchon's dynamic. The affection they show each other, how they go about showing their love? It's just to die for. It's so clear in their actions that their love is deeper, even deeper than the love Soongap had with his ex (?). And it just gives me butterflys watching them interact, and they way they quite literally wouldn't hesitate to give up their lives for each other?
Honestly this book is a masterpiece and I'm never gonna shut up about it.
