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.

Man, the side characters and couples are so much more developed than the main, to the point where Siwoo and Dohyeok need their own story. Apparently, in the latest chapter of the side story for the main couple, it shows that he hasn't moved on for over a year now, so I'm hoping that they'll get their own book after the Author's done wrapping up the main chapters. The ending just doesn't sit well with me, I'm left with such an ugly feeling knowing that Doheyok's redemption arc isn't far away. He and Siwoo deserve their ending too.

shoot me.

This is one of those sequels/ side stories that make you sit and rethink your original impressions of a character. I understand what Cha Wookyung did was unforgivable, and that Minho didn't deserve any of it, but the progression of the story, and the ending especially, just "fit" right in the sense that the elements were there. Their psyches are clearly laid out, which didn't make me question why they did what they did. I already understood. However, this story could've been more if the Author attempted to change the course of their relationship and progressed the story even slightly differently so that it could've been far healthier than what we got, or even by showing changes in their dynamics with side chapters.

One of my first, and favorite psychological-horrors that I've ever read.
