One of the best aspects of this story is how imperfect and flawed the characters are, and yet they still choose to love, support, and overcome their hurt together. I find Inwoo and his mother, along with their relationship, to be very realistic. His mother was a victim of domestic abuse and chose to run away to save herself. She believed that leaving her son with his dad would be the best choice, but that was her mistake. This led Inwoo to grow up believing his mother abandoned him and he was unloved. I don't expect their relationship to be perfect now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, but the closure was what Inwoo needed.
Jiho and Inwoo are two people who have gone through a lot in life. In the third season, a lot of people were upset with Jiho for the way he forced Inwoo to reconcile with his mother, and I was, too. From Jiho's point of view, he believed it was easy for Inwoo to reconcile with his mother, like how his mother accepted him easily. Jiho was blinded by viewpoint of what a motherly-son relationship should be like, and made a mistake. I love how this author has presented these characters in all their goodness and flaws, especially since Jiho and Inwoo got together suddenly and have different personalities. These quarrels and imperfections add up to form a realistic story.
Finally, I just want to say: I love Inwoo and he is one of my favorite BL characters ever. The way his depression is written feels very relatable. And I appreciate how his disability isn't treated as a mere plot device, but as a part of him he accepted and struggled with. He's such a beautiful character, and his journey of healing and finding love makes me so happy.
