moody_bish's manga / #suicide(9)

1. The pacing for the plot is nice, each of the panels matter to the story. 2.I'm sad that Siwon was treated as anotber body and tool for the plot to keep rolling.He was raped goddammit. 3. I feel sad that I didnt get to see more of Taemin's actual body 4. I'm conflicted with Minjoo (?) because on one hand he was true to his words but on the other he made Taemin go around circles. Still, if he didn't, Taemin would have kept running away so I'm glad that the author really made a strong foundation for Taemin's character. Actually, most of the characters have solid personalities and each of their actions and words match "who" they are. It's only Siwon that I feel bad about because he was really made into a tool. I couldn't even get a good grasp of who he is except that he cares about his relationship with his twin. Besides, for a smart person and "likeable" person like Siwon and with the CDs going around, wouldn't he have earned more pity than have people bully him (ok fine, being bullied is not improbable) and if they were so rich, the parents wouldve known about the CD and know that he was raped. Siwon was written as a loser and was treated as such that it somehow contradicted the likeable and "stole everything from me" twin.

i- here are 2 songs that played in my head: too sad to cry by sasha sloan and life moves on by finneas. not jazz but they just played in my head. the story began awkwardly and the dialogue sounded unnatural. however, when the underlying conflict surfaced, i began to admire the straightforwardness of the dialogue. the songs used and the character building matched even when the pacing was somehow slow, like listening to jazz (i tried listening to a few of the songs, starting from lucky to be me by monica zetterlund). too sad to cry began playing in my head when the truth about Jaejun's suicide unraveled. life moves on played when they were slowly coming into terms with it. also, i can picture the first season as a musical. the second was more serious and fit for a movie. my emotional and sentimental heart breaks and heals while reading this. especially because of how impactful Jaejun's suicide was...

the lack of communication occurs 70% of the time and i witnessed agonizing push and pull between the characters. im glad that even when Mingweon was emotionally compromised and ran away, he was anchored by his lover, lover's family, and sister. Most of the characters are problematic but the author does not romanticize them. the author shows just how difficult it is for a relationship to last when there is no communication and trust. and i like that about this. it showed character development, realistic concerns, and growth.

Hmm... Hyukjoon-ah... Love and hate are extreme emotions. You can't separate those two. Minseo, your mentality is really... Strong.

Kei's personality makes the body even more attractive! And watching Sho lose his shit so much in both bodies just brings out how freaking adorable and fussy he is. It really transcends or blurs the line between loving the body or the person HAHAHA. Was hesitant because suicide was kinda being glossed over by the comments... But I see now that it's because it was because Sho just wouldn't stand by and let it happen. He just bolts into action or just be the reason why it doesn't happen.

Holy shit this was awesome! I was getting bored midway because it was stagnant but the author had bugger plans and tied the loose ends. I can curse all I want just to show how raw my amazement and love for this. However, I was also blinded by the journey that I forgot about its destination. This is the best manhwa find ever!

the author used some questionable plot movers, most especially the arson turned coming out. im glad it was taken a lil more seriously after tho, like the consequences. Anyway, the plot is fairly paced, often quick with no transition but wholesome nonetheless. it deals with stalkers and how their actions affect celebrities (let's be honest, outside this story, it's difficult to criticize someone's suicide when they blame it to someone. like, suicide is serious, but at the same time, the person weaponized their death against someone else. and when that someone else is famous, it's more difficult to know the whole story because it will be totally used against them. the story is overall decent.

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.
