Story is like a highly overpowered garden hose rather than a gentle sprinkler. I wanted Sigmund to remain a little more jaded and cold, and Brunhild to be more reluctant with anything else than his duties - because it makes everything feel halfhearted, even with his supposed duties.
It feels like they were two dolls smooshed together by their golden-haired friend and they chose to velcro hands and play date, when neither of them are really interested in both the dating matter and each other. It just felt more off, like it's there to forcibly power the jealousy of Sigmund and make Brunhild think about it more.
I guess that was my main gripes with it: that the dating felt like it was just crammed there, and that everything was fast-paced.
Overall I feel neutral about it, I can see how some people might enjoy its rapid progress and quick resolution (I like those things, too, but "emotions and action" mixed with "fast-paced" is a flavor that's 50-50 to me (might like it or not be fond of it), especially when a mystery ingredient just appears to dilute rather than enhance the dish. Sorry, don't know how else to refer to it...) a rather lighthearted read thanks to its speed, it's cute and the art is beautiful.
It would have been a disaster if due to that misunderstanding, he somehow fell in love with someone else during those 4 long years.
Then again, if he was the type to somehow lose his hearing temporarily due to shock and heartbreak, enough to misunderstand the main point, then I doubt he'll move on all that easily. Even at the point wherein he was angry and wanted to give up before being confronted with the truth, I doubt he'd be easily able to move on considering how he is. I mean, in spite of everything, he continued to love his Hyung.
So it all worked out despite the mess at the beginning, thanks to their unwavering love and dedication to each other.
