I liked this story, it shows how trauma can affect people in twisted ways, like with Jooyul and his obsession with Jooin, and how Jooin blames himself for everything. I also appreciated the final chapter with Jooyul’s postcard explaining that he’s trying to heal and get better, and how he now realises that he needs help. I’ve seen many comments that feel uncomfortable with the incestruous topics, which I can understand as a psych major, but sadly it can be a reality for many abused families with their sibling or another family member as their only lifeline. It’s a twisted sort of admiration that can be confused and fester into obsession. Overall I think the serious topics were written well and I’m glad that everyone got a happy ending, even Jooyul.
