Brothers without a tomorrow never fails to amaze me and entertain me with such enjoyable stories. I love the bittersweet atmosphere of all their works. and the last couple (Ino and Kakia) contributed a lot to it. I followed the story throughly and there were no boring or filler chapters to kill the story flow. To me the story would have been just as beautiful if it ended with the first couple (lee bin’s insecurities about his immortality, his fear of losing his beloved and gok’s decision to become immortal for his sake were all elements that made me shed tears), however, I must admit that the two new couples of the second part added to the story many special elements: seolhyun’s past, his amazingly fluffy and healthy relationship with lee hwa and the way their relationship seemed to be meant to be from the start, the erasure of their memories and lee hwa’s mental travel in the past to recover them (as a literary means to reveal the whole story to the reader), ino’s backstory and his bittersweet love story with kakia, destined to end (since ino rejects kakia’s gift of immortality to die and reach his deceased lycan brothers) and leave kakia heartbroken for the whole eternity, kakia’s decision to love ino until his death and take care of his grave for the years afterwards… If the author decided to add a whole new part with seolhyun and hwa’s offspring I wouldn’t complain. This is the kind of story that should like… never end.

This is exactly my cup of tea: good plot, historical and exotic settings, myths, action, romance. *Chef’s kiss*

Just wow. The author was able to describe — with incredible delicacy and bittersweetness — the facets of a reality that can be both cruel and a blessing, filled with abuse, violence and solitude, fears and missed opportunities, agonising waits and lingering feelings, strokes of luck, and undying hope... Could it be Fate that places obstacles and, at the same time, paves the way towards resolution? The MCs grow and evolve in tandem with the stages of their lives, but there's a part of them that never leaves or fades with time, and it's the love they feel for each other and the hope they hold for a future in which they are together.
