I've been told this story is quite heavy and therefore I didn't really read it until now because I'm going through shitty times. But these shitty times seem to have no end, so I decided I would read it and just risk having a full mental breakdown again. ^^
To the manwha. I am so happy I read this. I thought it would make me sad, and miserable and I sure cried more tears than one should have but among sad tears, there were also many happy tears. I really, really loved Yuri and Jaerim and most of the characters. Their relationship with all of their undeniable differences, and the way that Jaerim has the confidence to ...just be. Exist, breathe as himself despite of his unfortunate position throughout the entire story. Being bullied this way... I just respect that a lot. And I also really appreciate the messages about inner and outer beauty, and the problem with inferiority complexes...I'm not going to get too much into the story and the plot, because I dont want to spoil this for anyone. Just be aware that this has some pretty dark stuff in it. However I think that in this particular story such a climax was really hard to read, but "necessary".it wrapped up all the conflicts. What happened was obviously wrong and if you have a brain, you know that without the author dedicating an entire chapter to why what happened there was wrong.
I just love Jaerim and Yuri, man. They both hold so much pain, I never wanted to hug fictional characters as much as I wanted to hug them.
Now excuse me. I will dry my tears because yes. I am still crying.

This was one of my absolute favourites when only volume 1 was out and I was among those who waited years for the sequels. I finally read the rest up until volume 4 and I had to stop there. The other volumes are terrible. While I think that Jin's insecurities were a good topic to focus on, the way the author went about was just ridiculous. This Alex character putting his snake tongue in Jin's mouth as a hello made me angry as fuck. While I think adding a character such as Alex could be a solid idea (tbh it's slightly overdone by now), the way that Jin went along with all that stuff that is clearly off limits when you're in a relationship made me drop this immediately.

...something about these guys rubbed me the wrong way. I mean the basic idea is okay, but I find it difficult to like full on killers. Especially killers that kill innocent people. I get that that's an important part of the story, but it just makes the MCs a bit unlikeable. And up until the end, I too think the only good thing about taekyung ir whatever his name was, was his face and his few cute sides. Idk..
Maybe I'm just not in the target group, maybe I would have loved this as much as everyone else if I was a bit younger. This way...idk. not the kind of relationship I'd wanna be in.
It's so beautiful to see things develop, and how both become more and more attached. I also liked how the black haired guys feelings weren't BAMM in your face, but the reader slowly realises "ok this dude has feelings for that other guy". Mmmhm. I love it. It's also a little sad sometimes, and I cried a few tears, but this will be something I'm coming back too!
