the art is so so so beautiful, the mc is absolutely stunning, the ml is so handsome, madame duchess is soo pretty ugh. story-wise it's decent. ml falls for mc at first sight, woos him, and succeeds, and they live together for a while, but then shit happens, and ml is arrested and goes to the battlefront. mc leaves their villa and re-pursues his career as a ballet dancer. i thought it was a miscommunication/misunderstanding that was the root of all this conflict, but it turned out to be much more complex, with elements of mental health issues ie depression. but in essence, it is a lack of communication and a traumas that festers this drama. also, im so sad for the broken friendship between mc and julian- he's such a great friend to both mc and ml, but he's also not wrong for loathing and blaming mc after hearing ml was killed in war.
