this manhwa was too good. it made me feel too much and i went on an emotional rollercoaster. i cannot describe how pissed and frustrated i am about the cultural and overall gender discrimination though (and let's not talk about that monk, i already mentally assassinated him a couple times), it hit too close to home.
bless the author for the epilogue and side stories though <3 i got the fluff i didn't know i needed to recover from all that.
i honestly thought this was a very intriguing story and the mystery component kept me attentive as it's one of the plot-twist kind you don't quite see coming. overall hint: its one of those works of writing where it's a full cycle of angst. ending is bittersweet, but i think it was necessary for it to be a sensible ending, with a bit of realism to conclude yk?
seeing the comment below about the relationships, well i generally only read queer works so i clicked into this story, but idk the heterosexual parts didn't affect me too much since i knew it wasn't a huge contributor or main focus of the story (thus the stereotypical events also didn't bother me too much). i'm not a huge romance person in the first place though (i considered it maybe the secondary/tertiary genre of this story?) so take it with a grain of salt.
so i really do like both the mc and ml's personalities but over quite a few of the past chapters (just started reading yesterday, at ch 47 rn) i find it pretty odd that yunshin isn't hurt by seheon's words or put off by his weird "my words are law" type scenarios. also, if i were seheon, i'd understandably be pissed off if this nepotism employee kept bothering me during off-hours and crossing boundaries? is this gonna continue to occur bc im developing second-hand frustration over it :(
There are people like Yunshin. Tbh Im kinda like him but doesnt make us pushover. Its kinda like Yunshin believe in Seheon's ability that despite his "my words are law". He trust in Seheon and wasnt easily hurt by his arrogance. Some may not understand but its the kind of belief that yeah hes arrogant but he has the ability and he didnt do anything that harm Yunshin so Im fine with him honestly.
what the heck. sorry, i had take a break from this (ch. 8) second hand embarrassment got too far. mc has no shame when drunk fr.
