The Third Ending
They had a lot of really cute moments in this manhwa. Season 1 was okay, but season 2 was not as enjoyable as season 1, mainly because I progressively did not like yoonseul’s character after season 1. I almost felt like dropping it but I was already too deep in, so might as well finish it. (SPOILERS) His biggest con is his possessiveness and tbh possessiveness isn’t bad as long as it’s just right or it’s what the character is expected to be like in darker, and more serious plot lines which is the opposite of this manhwa. His character at the start didn’t feel possessive at all and was just laid back and chill that’s why when he did a whole 180 I hated it cos it didn’t make sense and it didn’t fit. I was fine with him being desperate and assertive when he was running after jun, but damn ngl when his possessiveness became crazier after they started dating, as well as knowing that jun only had eyes for him, was such a big turn-off. Another thing I didn’t like was when he was manipulating jun into having sex with him, then after successfully manipulating jun into having sex, he did too much and I was just cringing the whole time because bro handle your mans with care idc how horny you are. Yoonseul is lucky that jun’s trope is being blindly in love with his lover. Aside from treating jun good, pros is that he’s at least self-aware that he’s too possessive and immature. Anyway after all that though I’m really just team jun that’s why I had a lot to say about yoonseul lmao (after all the hurt yoonseul put jun through I couldn’t stop myself xD) Although aside from my critical analysis of yoonseul’s character lol, the manhwa does tackle some problems that gay couples do encounter and that’s realistic enough. The few chapters towards the end + the side stories were the cutest moments they had during season 2 and it made yoonseul more tolerable and likeable.

Honestly I’m not sure if I still have it in me to continue this (stopped at chapter 45) because this story is stressing me the fuck out. For some reason, the events and details during the earlier half of the manhwa were so confusing; stuff like kihoon and woojin looking the same, who was cheating on who for kihoon and suhyeon just because it seemed like suhyeon was the one sleeping around, and so many characters just joined in and so many shit was happening that it was giving me info overload. Furthermore, everything about woojin is a red flag and that man should literally be in jail for how insane he is (exhibit 1: burning down his grandfather’s grave and the mountain he was buried in; exhibit 2: is capable of murder if given the chance). Their relationship is super toxic, but it seems like haegyung is too blindly in love to be able to tolerate woojin’s craziness. I wanted to keep reading this in order to see how all of the character’s stories were tied up, but the crazy and possessive antics is really giving me a hard time finishing this because even I’m scared of woojin and for haegyung’s life. But can I just say that even though it’s impossible for them to end up together, I’m thankful that I’ve been fed some haegyung x kihoon crumbs. I would have liked it better if I were to see how a relationship from their dynamic would unfold tbh instead of all this crazy shit. It’s such a shame that woojin is really hot tho that’s literally his only redeeming quality.
