Oh man, I'm not sure how to even begin... I did read this story once years ago- many years ago- but rereading it again with a better understanding of what went on absolutely gutted me. I really want to say Namsu was the only good character, but even then, she took her anger out on the wrong person and ended up losing literally everything her character was built on at the end. I had high hopes for Joy and Namsu, I was flabbergasted by the twist, but Joy ruined her friendship and is torn up about how it ended and has to be reminded of it every day. Hye-Yeon was horrible from the start to the end, selfish, greedy, you name it, but she didn't get a good ending either. Sure, she got Joy to herself, but she has such doubt about Joy's true feelings for her, she'll spend the rest of her life wondering if Joy really loves her or if she's just being kept around out of Joy's fear of losing her closest friends. No one got a happy ending, but I hurt so much seeing Joy was able to keep at least one person by her side when she caused literally all of the suffering. For her to date them both and only let Hye-Yeon in on it was... why did she do that??? If you really wanted to not hurt them, dating them both is the last thing that should have been attempted!
God, I have such a love-hate relationship with this manhwa, the characters (outside of Namsu until the last few chapters) were all bad, but the story is so heartbreakingly interesting that it made me want to come back and reread it after all these years. I want Namsu to have a better ending, she really didn't deserve what Joy put her through.
