I started this a year ago and ch1 hit so hard I dropped it and never came back. It was so relatable it made me angry.
I've become infatuated with the though of sh since it's a pain that can be treated and finally caved in this November. Came across this again and it still makes me so angry how everything turned out.
The lesbian part too goddamn, idk why I had to be lesbian on top of this all. Not finishing this ever, barely got through ch2 and skipped all of ch3 to reach ch4. I will come back and finish this if I ever meet someone who will cherish me(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
i can't even call it a story bc everything is so realistically depicted. shitty old man was never punished, shiino returns to her normal life eventually, there's no backstory or anything on that guy (which there are usually in some stories), the feeling of unfairness with the other party who died without turning to you first etc.
finally, mariko has never gotten the help she needed. it's also cruel how there is no narrating from mariko's point of view. we never knew what she was thinking of when she decided to jump (just like in real life). also when mariko said she broke up with ground beetle guy cuz he was too nice ☹ I instantly thought of that one quote from litc "how would u what love is when you've never been loved"
watch the film too
shitty pornhwa, literal reflection of south korea'a rape culture and misogyny
spoke FACTS!!!! say it louder cus theres wayy too many korean fetishizers nowadays and it pmo so bad.
