THEY CRACK ME UP, their dynamic is SO funny they’re perfect for each other and hyun-woo is the hottest greenest flag ever!!!
don’t get me wrong, I loved the angst, the game of cat and mouse, how jae-hyuk gradually developed his feelings, realised them, and started chasing after him, how yeon-oh played hard to get in the end. I’m also a sucker for fantasy historical romances, so it was predictable I would love the special chapters too.
but… WHAT’S WITH THAT HALF-AS*-RUSHED ENDING?! so unsatisfactory ;-;
Just wow. The author was able to describe — with incredible delicacy and bittersweetness — the facets of a reality that can be both cruel and a blessing, filled with abuse, violence and solitude, fears and missed opportunities, agonising waits and lingering feelings and memories, strokes of luck, and undying hope...
Fate placed obstacles on their way and, at the same time, paved the way towards the resolution of their life story. Fate pulled them apart just to make them develop as individuals and grow into each other’s “perfect” persons.
The MCs grow and evolve in tandem with the stages of their lives, but there's a part of them that never leaves or fades with time, and it's the love they feel for each other and the hope they hold for a future in which they are together.
