There's a lot going on with this story and it's moving pretty fast. I really like the premise, the characters, and the art but I don't think I like the pacing. Large parts of the story have been recapped or explained in a few sentences instead of showing those scenes (the first 2 years of them living together, the time they spent dating, yoosung realizing that they'd had a past life together). I think that it's made it difficult for me to get to know the characters and get invested in their lives. I would have really enjoyed reading those scenes. I'm trying not to compare it to Hate Mate which I really loved and think had much better pacing. It let the readers really understand the characters so even though the premise wasn't as epic and romantic as a reincarnation story like digitalis I still thought it was much more gripping (normally I prefer fantasy stories like digitalis). Overall, I'm still enjoying it and I'm so grateful to the translators for this awesome uploading schedule.
I really appreciate the author putting this lesson in here. Its a great reminder that BL isn't real life and that more than wishing to see it we should be wishing for the happiness of real people (but also still enjoy seeing it). <3
Eh... If this is the end, then I guess we can assume that they'll talk and work it all out. Honestly, I don't really like this as an ending. We've been waiting for them to talk since the beginning. Not showing how they reaffirm their love for each other and learn to communicate better in the future kind of sucks as an ending. There's no emotion in it ending here. I'd love an answer to the question of why things went wrong between the relationship. Why did Jinwoo become so distant over time? work stress? I'd like to see him be more forthright with his feelings in the future. As for Suhyeok, I'm glad he's decided not to give up but I'd also want to see him have more faith in Jinwoo's feelings even if he's not the most expressive. I'd like to see them both understand what happened and grow from this experience together.

I think Haero and Don are in a much better place than when they broke up the first time. Haero has a lot of unresolved guilt and depression, it's been eating him alive for years and he's worried that it'll hurt Don as well. 10 years ago Haero wasn't capable of communicating this with Don but now he is. He gave himself the chance to be honest and vulnerable and let Don understand him. I think this is a very good sign and a step towards Haero trying to get better and be with the person he loves rather than continuing to self-sabotage. He'll need help to release some of his guilt and fear and develop better coping strategies but this can be accomplished with time. I'm actually really happy with the ending. Life is complicated and difficult, but if you have the support of the people you love, you can make the best of it.
I kind of like that haero is still insecure. When haero first broke up with don he said that real life doesn't have fairy tale endings. Having them still have problems even after their "ending" proves the authors point about what real relationships are like. Also getting into a relationship is wonderful, but it doesn't fix all of your problems. It's unrealistic to believe that someone as traumatized and self sabotaging as haero would be perfectly fine now. I would've liked a cute happy bonus chapter too, but I'm interested to see where this will go as well. I think its safe to say that they'll probably work it out considering its a bonus and not the start of another season.
Finally someone who gets the author's point.
THANK YOU its frustrating to see that people expect all his worries to go away just cause he met his significant other, it really doesn't work that unfortunately :/ and I always a welcome a slightly realistic take on stories!
I agree with you 100 percent. Just wrote a comment above. These extra chapters made it even better..
Silver hair has been nearly dead for awhile now. How many times is he gonna pop back up to save mc... like if you're gonna pass out, just pass out? (￣∇￣")

Wow it's been awhile since I read anything this romantic. ╥﹏╥ I'm jealous.
I had a hard time following what happened with the police officer and that kid this chapter. Could someone explain?
The police officier asked all Gusam's friends to comes for interrogation.
This kid was not his friends but hangs out with them. Seems like he's mistreated by K and wants to take this chance and report it to the cop but didn't since K threatened him. The cop seems to have understood there's something fishy with the kid but didn't dig further. At least, that's what I understood.
Chapter 16 shows K's relationship with that kid, he's the one in his underwear. Chapter 30 shows what K did the night before Gusam woke up to the bloodbath.
I'm interested to see what will happen with the police officer next but does anyone know what surprise Bum had for Sangwoo? Also, why was he looking into the basket with the poison and the fake nails?
Re-reading I realized the nails weren't in that basket. Still not sure what Bum has been up to though.
On another note, I'm wondering whats up with Sangwoo's hair. I'll look forward to getting a bit more back story with why he dyed it and why he cut it off during his freak out.
Bum was simply hiding the gift for Sangwoo. Sangwoo hir hair just because that is a reaction of people mentally instabile or with so much mental pain they can't "digest". The reaction in this cases could be more physical or more like yelling, you see the physical ones often in people from Africa and we still don't know why they have a more physical way to show a huge mental distress
Yeah... Africa is a huge continent of many different cultures so this generalization is pretty strange to me. Even if large physical displays are the norm in some of those cultures not all would show this. If you've got a study you are referencing, I'd love to see it. As a Nigerian woman, I don't particularly enjoy being stereotyped.
I think you should give the writer more credit. Sangwoo could have lashed out his emotional distress in a myriad of ways. He specifically cut his hair off just a couple chapters after asking Bum if he wanted to know why he dyed it. Maybe it was just a meaningless reaction, but I think it would be far more interesting (and better character building/story telling) if it signified more than that. We're still adding layers of depth to Sangwoo's character, so I'm eager to find out if there's anything more the writer would like to reveal.
there's already way too much happening in this story. I really don't think we need an evil twin popping up right now.
