Reread this and still think it's an absolute masterpiece. Such a shame that it isn't more popular, I honestly think it's better than most of the top ones that people rate as masterpieces. Character development cannot be done better than this and all of the characters feel so real and human.
I also love that it's a webtoon that isn't isekai or reincarnation, just a beautiful story that really takes you on a beautiful ride. 10 out of 10.

Tbh it was a bit rough to get through the beginning, BUT I think it was worth it to stick with it.
Maybe spoiler?
MC has been through a lot and I think that he just held on to his feelings in desperation to keep himself from being alone. With that in mind it is more understandable that he's such a pushover.

I really love how realistically these relationships are being portrayed. For someone young in a new relationship it's a real struggle to figure out if there's any room for your dreams in the relationship that you're in.
Personally, I selfishly decided that I wanted to go work in Japan for a year, even though I had a bf of 3 years. I had hoped that we could make it through, but in the end we didn't. I knew that it maybe we could have stayed together if I hadn't left the country, but in the other hand I had a dream that I wanted to fulfill. Looking for back, I'm happy with my choice, even though it was really hard to go through and I felt guilty.
Anyway, I appreciate it when fiction isn't all rainbows and sunshine, since real life isn't that simple. I think Itsuomi is in a battle with himself and his dreams, and I really hope he's mature enough to discuss it with Yuki instead of keeping it bottled up.
For some people, their partner's dream becomes their own as well and then they chase it together. I think Itsuomi's dream is really profound and who knows how Yuki would choose to support him. Maybe she'd join him or stay in Japan and support him from afar. But he'll never know unless he asks her.

Only in fiction would the fact the he didn't tell his boyfriend he's working the whole summer, and also rope him into working for a whole day by offering a beach day, not only NOT turn into a fight where he can rightfully criticize those moves, but instead turn into the other guy being upset and him having to apologize. Like, I know it's just a brainless yaoi, but they could portray a healthy relationship by adding small fights into them, since that's totally normal in any relationship.
I can't belive how beautiful the art becomes during this. It ends up a one of the prettiest ones.
Also the story is pretty good, although it follows a pretty similar trajectory as many other fake relationship stories.
