Overall, this story was a fantastic read. All the characters were so well-developed , with such a strong backstory to understand their intent. Looking at the authors note, of the 5 unrequited love and growth of it, I will evaluate each as it corresponds to all the arcs. Arc 1. Min, Jina, and Sijun. This was quite the plot which showed the growth of Jina who experienced a fake relationship with Sijun. Overall, her overcoming of love for Sijun, though he was gay, made her a fabulous supporting character for thejr relationship and the plot. Only thing is I don't usually like these miscommunication plots. Arc 2. Love triangle with Min, Sijun, and Sehun. By far one of my favorite arcs because of Sehun's emotional turmoil, confession, and developmemt. I was incredibly sad after he was rejected. Arc 3. Sijun and Min. After chapters 40, we get a huge flashback of Sujin, his fuckboy past, and how he came to like Min. I found this incredibly sweet and they jumped quickly into a relationship. Of course with this relationship came the proceeding conflict of a collapsed love triangle with Sehun. I love how they were able to have all their relationships be resolved , but Sehun still needed justice. After that, he was tossed to the side. Arc 4. Love perseverance chapter 60+. This fact that this dude turned up made things go South with his appearance had me messed up. He became obsessed with Min cuz he regretted his actions as Min's ex. Of course, that didn't happened till the end of the story, so he instigated a bunch of shit. Thus the cycle of violence and trauma was passed from the professor, Mr. Shim to Min. Min became self conscious of himself , the relationship they had to keep hidden, and self-proclaimed burdens he had hid from Sijun. Thus, they broke up. How they got back together was rushed. I didnt like that. It needed more talking on resolve, but I guess for content sake, not everything needed to be reviewed cuz Min had already gone through all the emotional turmoil after they had broken up.
As I read the story, the art just started to become better and better. Every part of this story had grasped my attention , except for the last arc that made me question the integrity and admiration of the MC. Of course it was drama filled ,but it was a great mixture of some cliches with some realistic relationship things. The art improved so much throughout the serious and I have always loved the writing. The panel flow is amazing , the storyline is simple and sweet. The plots are not all my favorite, but the author did a damn good job writing it.
