Ciruss

That was such a nice read. It's got a good plot, and shows characters that have a lot of struggles in life, and turn to one another to find solace.
I quite like Ciruss, against all odds.. he's a very well-written character, and he's misunderstood.. He's not a bad guy, he's just had a bad upbringing that he believes a lot of things were normal. I think he's quite a good guy, had his upbringing not taught him to be such a conniving guy. He grew up with the knowledge that his father doesn't truly love him, and that he's trying to move on from his wife's death by filling the void with new women- without his son's consent. Simply because he does not care about Ciruss. And the step mother is a gold digger who wants Ciruss out of their lives. That's a horrible environment, especially when he knows they both hate him, but have to continue to live under one roof with such negativity... I'm glad he decided to move out, cus that's certainly a solution. I was just worried that his father would stop him from moving out, or his stepmother, or something. But I'm glad he gradually got better after he moved out.
I did want to see what happened with his parents after he moved out tho, because we don't see his stepmother any more after she was nearly strangled to death by Ciruss. She just disappears.
I also think that scene with the nanny, where he finds out he's been calling the wrong phone number for YEARS after she left a note saying he could call her if he had any issues.. that was such a significant scene I feel, because it shows that (against his belief) he's got people behind his back, he just needs to look properly.. and that showed, because his highschool friend group with Chan-il showed they all cared about eachother. I love that friend group so much TT~TT I'm glad Ciruss and Skylar found their place in that friend group. All because of Chan-il's sunlight.
Honestly Skylar is very meh. He's also seemingly got a lot of trauma, but he doesn't seem to have made it through them like Ciruss did. I started to think Ciruss was the main character. He had no great revelation, he had no character growth really. I wanted to see him face his trauma against his old crush or something, or see him confess that he DID like Chan-il or something. But nothing. He's got a lot of trauma from being rejected by the guy he liked, but he didn't really do much to overcome that- it was always Ciruss that came back to apologize and it was all over. I'm glad that he's there for Ciruss, as someone who he could talk to and wouldn't get special treatment, but that's all he was kinda good for. His character also seemed inconsistent at times, idk how to describe. I just wanted moreee on his side of the story.
I loooove Chan-il. He's simply just a good guy. He's a ray of sunshine on two people that had lots of life struggles, and eventhough he wasn't the final solution to their problems, he brought them together so that they could lean on eachother instead; yet he stayed by their sides to let them know they're there... he's kinda victim to all this, but I'm glad he met Ri-in who tells him things as it is. He seems the type to be too timid to truly speak his mind, so someone like Ri-in who speaks very openly and is free-spirited, they make cute match. I still dunno why Ri-in was pissed off with Ciruss for not telling his that him and Chan-il got into a fight when he saw them together. Idk. Maybe it was that nobody told her? Or maybe that he didn't try to absolve the misunderstanding? Idk why she got so pissed but anyway..
I kinda wanted to see how Chan-il and Ri-in are when they're I'm college TT~TT are they still together????
Honestly they kept bringing back characters that seemed insignificant to bring back. Fucking Dongshik just to provoke him to fight? Out of nowhere. The dude Ciruss pushed down the stairs in Elementary? BRO THE ONE PERSON I WANTED TO SEE WAS MINWOO (Skylar's old crush) AND HOW CIRUSS AND SKYLAR WOULD REACT. they kept mentioning that it had only been 2 years since the stuff happened with Skylar, so it was still fresh.. I wanted some development. I wanted growth from Skylar in terms of his own trauma, not just Ciruss'. I'm a bit disappointed in that front.
Hey, Prince!
Just fun, wholesome, short and sweet.
Ray is an idiot but he's secretly really knowledgeable (usually through sheer luck. And I really like how straightforward Lucas is straight from the get go.
This is just a bubbly 'fake lovers' to 'real lovers'. I wished there was a little more tho, but what can you not like about a short and sweet story?
I wished that Edward and Andrew got together. I feel like they'd be real cute.
And maybe Adonis with Rich since they suit eachother so well lol.
Beware of the Villainess!
