Exactly. On point. I also don't get how one could root for Hyunwoo when he treated Subin like shit. Up until the end he didn't respect his boundaries which is something that was never a problem with Jun. I too think that what many people have a problem with is that it is too much in touch with reality. In other manwhas/mangas Hyunwoo would have had a mediocre character development and realised that he loves Subin. But in reality I feel like this doesn't just happen. In reality you are more likely to meet someone who will heal those wounds and make you fall in love with them. I read this manwha for the seventh time now and it still makes me cry, laugh and smile.:( ♡
Gosh, the cruel predicament of unrequited love. I’m really happy Subin ended up with Jun and is happy with him because that’s what he deserves (damn i want what they have give me a Jun too). Hyunwoo took Subin for granted and when he wasn’t within his arm’s reach anymore, he became desperate. Hyunwoo didn’t need Subin because he loved him, he loved Subin because he needs him, there’s a big difference.
Also, everything in this feels so real and cerebral at the same time. The plot, characters, emotions, even the dialogue was pragmatic, but the amazing color schemes and little textures in the art betrays it.
Maybe why some readers found it boring (which kinda upsets me) is because it is so in touch with reality and the line between fiction is blurred. Maybe they were used to reading POTN and Killing Stalking and whatnot which have grand schemes that get you so riled up. But anyway, I enjoyed every second of this and I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a manhwa like this before.
