Haruna's manga / #Beautiful Art(390)

It's hard to describe how much I enjoyed the story so I'll just say that I loved how it went and it made me smile to see that there was a happy ending. The struggle Heechan had with his family was very painful to read through bcs although our situations aren't the same, I have my struggles with my family as well. I'm just glad that Jinhyuk was there to lighten up Heechan's life

This author really knows how to pull at my heart. It's the kind of story that touches you really deep down and fills you with all kinds of feelings. It is a beautiful tragedy that portrays a boy who had such high expectations of himself, only to be struck by reality. And it's bitter sweet to see Gene grow from that with the help of Trevor. Their love was a young one and to them, having each other was such a huge part in their lives so I'm happy that they reunited with each other after so many years. I think they both are happy with their current selves now and that will surely reflect on an even happier relationship. It's a story that will live in your heart.

The storyline is actually really interesting and the romance isn't the only focus of the story. Honestly, at some point I was more interested in the virus and the progress of the crisis that they were facing rather than the romance between the main characters lmao. I absolutely loved Hayeon and Jihyuk so much. I can't even count the amount of times I was in distress wondering if Jihyuk would make it until the end of the series but thankfully he did. When I started reading it, I literally told myself I would stop reading if Jihyuk died. Clearly, I have a favourite. As for Woon, I never really became attached to his character and I was fine if he had died and this story ended tragically but it didn't so that's fine too. I suppose I'm glad Woon lived bcs Hayeon looks so happy to be with him. I'm also really surprised that they actually solved the entire virus thing. Some stories end with a "save haven" being made for the survivors or that they found a solution but it wasn't placed in worldwide effect. This story tho showed the process of them slowly spreading out the cure to the virus and I kinda like knowing what happened to the world after. Overall, it's a really interesting story. Yk it's good when I would like the story even if it didn't have the romance aspect of it (which was the whole reason I started reading this btw, for the romance that is).

I've known this manhwa since way back when I first started reading manhwa and it was a story I had wanted to read. But the art style wasn't to my taste and so I found it difficult to enjoy. That was back in like 2018-2019 ish. Finally decided to finish the whole story when I saw it on tiktok after so long. Because I hadn't seen this manhwa ever since I left it, never finishing it. But I'm glad I did. As all the comments say, it's a really good story. Rarely do you find stories this good imo. The angst is done really well and there's a realistic aspect to how much trauma can affect a person and follow them even after so much time has passed. It delves deep into the reasons why Skyler treated Yeonduk the way he did and it also speaks about why Yeonduk followed Skyler everywhere despite being treated like shit. How the characters resolve their issues and trauma was also really well done. Their trauma wasn't brushes aside after feelings were made clear and they still had a lot to go through. Not every character got their happy endings and rightfully so. It's very realistic to showcase Skyler's mum as someone who still holds grudges from the past and is unable to move on. It's not right but it's realistic. Because not everyone is able to forgive and forget. Until the very end, she was an asshole. A horrible person through and through. The only thing I'm sad we won't get to see is if Leo ends up alright since he was forced to move with his mum to America, leaving behind his older brother whom he had just begun to get closer to. I wish there was more. I wish we had a continuation talking about their relationship after they had resolved everything and updates into their future. But on it's own, it's still an amazing story.
