VERY LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD of literally ONE plotpojnt/happening, you have been warned.
After reading the current chapters in one go (23 chapter so far), I have to say I am absolutely in love.
The story is just a great read and EXACTLY the type of writing I wish for when I see all those top level korean artists doing a comic adaptation. Which we rarely ever do get tho.
This writing is the one taking the golden crown among all the thing's I've read so far. But mind you I say this as an adult. Most people on here or other websites are likely younger, less interested in realistic and mature writing. So it might not be great for those that are looking for idealized love stories with just a bit of telenovela drama thrown in to elongate it.
The writing of this story is absolutely amazing.
Each character has depth to them, rhyme and reason, a non-cliche personality that doesn't lead to utterly predictable situations/reactions and their actions are all based in realistic logic, choices, etc.. Which is really making this an emotional rollercoaster.
One scene especially had me going through SO many emotions (the time husband tried to get frisky and dropped the child issue), it was just impressive how quick things went into at least 4 different directions in the span of barely a minute while reading.
This author has a VERY amazing way of writing. Extraordinarily realistic. And not shying away from showing the unpleasant sides of human relationships, but NOT in an overly dramatized way. And to top it all off: They manage to even make the villain(s) seem relatable, logical or even likable at times without you noticing that's what they are aiming for. The husband has had many such moments in these 23 chapters already, throwing me back and forth in hating him and understanding and even pitying him because his behavior is not just rooted in malice alone. Just before the author throws a curveball again by saying: Nuh-uh. :D
The only negative point to mention (so far) is the wonkyness of the art. The art is decent but has quite a few flaws that are obvious, tho you get used to them and can shrug them off as 'artstyle' basically. And that is really the ONLY thing in the negative department I can mention, so far I have not found any issues. Which is a shocking first for me I think? XD
I'll stalk this story SO hard from now on. And I am very much hoping we get an awkward encounter with Mister Chairman (the father) rather soon. I am so curious about him.
