just finished reading everything today, and omg, did i enjoy myself fjenjcwkzjs. i’m surprised i didn’t initially pick up on the (intentional or not) adhd x autism dynamic, but after scrolling through the comments a bit; i think something that should get a lot of praise is the VISUAL STORYTELLING.
i understand that what we’re currently reading is an adaptive form of jeosuri’s (writer) novel, but holy crap, never in my life have i seen a manhwa so rich with so much visual development behind it, everyone say thank you to angy (artist) omg, things like the bright colours, pop-art textures, pixel art, chromatic aberrations has made such a unique style that isn’t only pretty but satisfyingly fitting to portraying both an emotional (jaeyoung) and logical (sangwoo) idea of the sporadic but ultimately fulfilling and meaningful nature of the modern experience of love. (which is all the more fulfilled by the way this story depicts a queer couple !!)
for example, the use of bright red, initially used for errors, and in sangwoo’s context, jaeyong’s existence. and why i think it’s so rich that in the final chapter jaeyoung wears red again, is because it’s circular to one of his most earliest appearances wearing red, at that point when jaeyoung, similar to an error, was overbearing, unwanted and a particular stain to sangwoo’s routine and function. but as jaeyoung and sangwoo spend more time together, does this red become less overbearing, as this error is later clarified as love, an unwanted but incomprehensible feeling that sangwoo progressively yearns for more as the story goes on. in the end chapter where sangwoo actuallt becomes wrapped in jaeyoung’s red jacket, and when they offically start dating, i think also symbolizes how jaeyoung, love, or this error, has become an integral code to the system.
anwyays whether u hated or loved this story, i just wanted to add my ramble here ! also just generally, this story has one of the most healthiest straightforwardly consensual relationships i’ve ever seen on this website
