hmm i love this story a lot and i think its near perfect but i'm at chapter 138 right now and i'm kind of confused why the author has gone down the route of the cliche that the main character is completely oblivious to her love interest’s feelings. i’d understand maybe if it was a modern story where relationships between men and women are more ambiguous and can be close even platonically but this is historical fiction? tia’s og life was in modern korea but she’s on her second life in this world where there’s strict social conventions between the opposite sex and she’s more than adapted to it. tia has shown she is very emotionally intelligent throughout this story and can quite easily see through people but somehow she can’t figure out that the guy who has literally only been close to her, kisses her forehead, holds her hands, gifts her everything, only smiles at her and says he wants to be able to do things for her is in love with her? i just don’t find it believable when her emotional intelligence is impeccable even with other people’s relationships honestly i’d think it would be nice if she had an inkling about how he feels and would show a cute side of her struggling how to deal with it and not knowing how to confront him about it
