Very good, absolutely gorgeous art and some really beautiful writing. It is very unbalanced plot-wise though. The majority of time was spent on Sunwoo’s story, and by the time we started to get into Youngwon’s background, it was over. I wouldn’t want to condense Sunwoo’s part, so instead I feel like it just needed another 10-15 chapters to give Youngwon’s experience a satisfying amount of coverage. We don’t ever even find out what happened to make him quit swimming - we just get some cryptic flashbacks. Considering that their respective histories are part of why they understand each other so well, it just seems like an odd choice to leave his side unexplored. It would’ve been really nice to see Sunwoo be the one encouraging Youngwon as he tried to reconnect with that part of himself. Still, it’s a really lovely little story. Youngwon in particular is unusually mature and communicative, and their relationship is very supportive and healthy.
