Bound to Be Fools
Surprisingly, I managed to push through this absolute shit-show of a story. Gahyun truly fucked it up with Kangjin and Chisoo's relationship, but it's a realistic in the sense that it depicted what their relationship was lacking, which was trust. This roots from the fact that Chisoo's job doesn't allow him to truly love someone. It, understandably so, pushes Kangjin away. While what Chisoo did to Jungkwon was horrible, it goes over people's heads that he was raised to do the things he did, so it truly isn't fair that he got the short end of the stick. But what really made this a torture to read was how naive and absolutely stupid the MC was. His ideologies led to the downfall of his relationships, and unjustly hurt those around him. The Author also fucked up when it came to the story line; it's so messy that I found myself sobbing on the floor at 5 in the morning because of how annoying it was to follow. In the end, this is below a mediocre read. You cannot pay me enough to reread this.

Another mind-blowing masterpiece. Brothers Without a Tomorrow really out-did themselves with this because the delivery of Yeonjin and Mun-hyeok's story is absolutely heart-wrenching. The revenge plan that would've ended with Yeonjin's inevitable death went out of the window the second he brought Mun-heyok in, because there was no way he was going to let him die over something like that. They both saved each other from their pitiful lives, and the way they found each other after years just proves that there is no separating people that are destined to be together. Every tear Yeonjin shed made me choke up, and I almost died from the angst. Still, their love for each other fills me up with unbearable happiness. I'm glad that their pain and sacrifices paid off, and that they found what they were looking for within one another.
