Wish Me Love
A+ for character growth and plot progression. Yijin's reasoning is off and doesn't really translate well with me, however, he matures naturally. Joohyuk had that gap personality that was more solid at the beginning and transparent all through out. I think it's because his character is more complicated that Yijin, and I am biased with him. But Joohyuk is imperfect and I loved that. It makes me feel like he is still human and can be an asshole/insensitive jerk when he can't control his emotions or have his own belief about things.
Give Up on Love
a drunken despair of an unrequoted love complicates the lives of four individuals. Henry, who loved his friend secretly for 9 years. Chance, who has separation anxiety supposed to be wedded with Lucia. Lucia, who is depressed from her mother's death. Lucious, Lucia's older brother who became Henry's confidant. It was just a wish brought up by weariness and enduring pain... but it was a wish that turned back time and screwed the timeline. Henry tries to straighten the timeline, along with Lucious. However, the wish's interference will only unravel the worst of those who were originally supposed to be happy. pet peeve would be that the dialogues are often so run on that it forces the plot to just be tragic. at the middle, it just didn't make much sense anymore. I'm actually amazed that Henry is still determined because in the first place, did he know? Was it his fault that his pain-riddled wish came true? and spoilers, i'm so pissed with Chance and Lucious. And i just feel like Lucia needed more screentime. She suffered so much as well but was sort of thrown around. the ending felt a little abrupt, too, especially after the whole headache of pushes and pulling that even led to freaking rape, gaslighting—which istg was only brushed off in the end.
