Started off as a turn-your-brain-off smut and developed into a profound and nuanced take on healing generational trauma and reconciling tensions between queer love and parental/sibling love. Art has improved obviously but there’s something to be said of how much the storytelling and dialogue has improved too. Really appreciate how the author shows us the perspectives of every character, from the parents to the childhood friend to the little brother to koko, everyone is so three dimensional and fleshed out. Cuz she could’ve written this like another one of those trending bl manhwas with boring villains and background foil characters whose sole purpose is to either support or cock block the couple and dramatize their soap opera romance, but instead she chose to put a lot of heart and thought into everything which is very refreshing.
