I hate being that bitch, but I couldn’t get pass the 27 and 19 thing as I read. Age gap stories are cool but when I saw that I was like “damn ” I think the story would’ve been just fine if he was 21… heck even 20. It would take him from a teenager to an adult just like that and it’s just a year older.
It seems like I keep running into this problem with manhwas. Like we can have cute age gap stories with adults-or even just stories with adults- one doesn’t need to be a teen when you can do so much more with a story with adult characters

I wish people could consume fictional media without trying to find fault or place blame. These are complex people in a made up world similar to ours, so we should know people aren’t one dimensional, we understand we aren’t. These are characters that are a product of their environment and we get to see how they interact and react to one another. And honestly that could just be left at that with no further explanation. Sure some things suck and you wouldn’t have done the same and you wish they could just get it through their thick sculls sometimes that things don’t have to be this hard but I think it’s beautiful to see something like this play out without intense analysis because it shows that not everything is black and white/right or wrong. Humans are human.
If you couldn’t tell i really love this story and I love how (I guess) realistic this is to two people who have their own trauma come together in a relationship. But after writing this I kinda realize that this isn’t the kind of place to be standing on my soapbox pouring my heart out. I can’t wait to see how the story turns out and would love to see if my opinions change or not by the end <3

This was definitely something I didn’t know I needed. Sweet soft refreshing and lovely (to me) compared to other stories I’ve read. No unnecessary drama or justified abuse with an apology from the victim and not the abuser. The seme turned out to be so much better than I thought he would be. The writing was so well done. Usually when the main couple gets together authors don’t know where to go from there. I loved the way the seme loved the uke. I do wish there was more to the ending. It would’ve been nice to see them through the years even just bit by bit, instead of the time jump. But I also didn’t hate the ending, I just liked them and the story so much I wanted more. Maybe we could’ve seen how they grew and changed throughout their relationship, together and in their personal lives. lol I just wanted more
I’m coming back to this to say i really wish it didn’t end so abruptly. It’s great, sweet even, the happy ending we got. I just wish we spent more time with inwoo while he adjusted to having his taste back. I would’ve loved to see his dislike for some foods and maybe a little healthy fixation on one kind of food because he can’t believe how long he went without eating something that tasted this good. How happy he is to gain back a sense or maybe how sad he his that something like that was “fixable”, and although tied to such painful and traumatic experiences, something that wasn’t life ending. Bc a lot of people(myself included) feel shame around being rightfully affected and hurt for so long they let it consume them, bc they didn’t see it as something that they could get through. Maybe he’s dealing with the painful realization that he can be happy?
