This is definitely a very slowwwww burn, not much romance on season 1 and 2. God, I love and hate how realistic this manhwa is when it came to shitty people, especially the parents.
The teacher was so easy to sympathise with, he had baggage LIKE BAGGAGE B A G G A G E, his depression, his burnout— it just hits you so hard because he's so miserable but he's still so kind and forgiving to others. Yuri was also really great, at first he was very shitty but as the story progresses you'll learn that he and his love is very complex.
The cruel school system was realistically potrayed. Bullying in korea is really extreme, often times the bully doesn't even pay the price, I wish we had more teachers like the mc here.
This manhwa was definitely very deep and had more to do with healing each other's wounds slowly rather than passionate romance and I'm completely onboard with that. If you think the teacher mc is being a whiny baby because he cries alot and is suffering through a severe depression idk what else to say to you but educate yourself more in the topics about mental health ig.
Right now I can't really see myself loving the dynamic between the two mc's, it just makes me feel like they're friends with benefits(but instead of sex they comfort each other) but if that's what the aurhor intended todo before building up the romance, I applaud them for that. This was also very well written and the pacing is amazing.
