first and foremost this has got to be the nicest and I suppose you could say the slowest type of burn of gradual feelings that I have read so far cause everything the romance of it all it’s under so much other it’s under so many other feelings, it’s like an onion so many layers each proclaim of hatred you could say or whatever it is. soohyun especially you would say there is a sharpness to it and because he himself doesn’t understand it’s because he cares and borderline obsessed and also love eunsung the vibe in the way that it comes out is odd but us as a reader can see that he’s in such fat denial
the story definitely could’ve gone without such the unnecessary rape in the beginning. I truly don’t understand why that had to be added it I feel as though it did not push or move forward the plot in anyway I also hate obviously rape in general when it comes to stories, but you know between the main characters, I suppose because of course I understand abuse of the professor and why he that graphic stuffs happen but that was part of the plot isn’t that was the nature of the story but in the beginning where they just went all crazy I don’t understand that it was it was definitely a rough start. I had to push and plough while were there to read this because there’s too many comments and feedback and reviews with you really have to just get through it and then it would be really good and you know what they’re not wrong this is a really good story. It was one of those one of those you know it was definitely a more mature contents and more mature audience. It’s for a more mature audience becauseeven the way that the dialogue was written it’s hidden underneath a lot of nuance and us as readers we need to use our own. the sermon which is nice honestly from the some of the stories if not most of the stories that already it’s all cute it’s steamy but you cannot lie and say that the plot is kind of given to us as in we do not need to read along the line so much because the answer is already given nearing the end of the chapters but this story even at the very end it was never confirmed whether they were in a relationship there wasn’t even a will you be my forever partner scene and I suppose it is an orthodox but it is a natural progression because of their character characters both the characters slowly but surelysoohyun was able to you know dissect his thoughts and finally understand why he was obsessed and I loved that eunsung really just went along with it he is such a yes man he really didn’t mind. I love that he just went with whatever it is that his partner wanted they have such an interesting dynamic and I can understand why it might not be for everyone, but this is peak. I would say they’re very complex characters you know even if you which is funny because even if you when you dissected to its most simplest point just on the story is that? soohyun looked up toeunsung and asked the old-age question of do I want to be him or do I want to be with him and because of his tunnel vision and foggy way of thinking it just turned to hatred so he instead copied everything that he did and eunsung is low-key just someone that doesn’t recognise his own talent because he is so sick of hearing it and so he undermines all of the things that he does so it’s a case of a character looking up for his friend but is in denial and that friend not understanding why people look up to him and it’s really interesting how the author was able to create a story line like this
I love that at the end, especially when they went to the amusement park and amusement park sorry when they went around in their school uniforms we can really really see soohyuns growth and even the way that he communicates it’s so healthy he’s able to critical we think about the thoughts and feelings that he has and openly communicate to eunsung that it’s fine and all man I love the growth I will say that I love the girl. I really do not expect to have such a healthy ending. We’re seeing him smile more he’s giggling he’s accepting of his feelings. There is no and denial denial, but I’m saying once you figure it out, he was quite accepting of it. It was a very satisfying ending but I will stay. We low-key needed more cutie scenes of them together, I can’t believe there is no cute date you know like they went out on a date on a proper date. I don’t know just being domestic personally I’m a sucker for character is being domestic with each other so this is a Thing but yeah, all those are my thoughts the way soohyun things about his future as well as has changed a lot he’s just going with the flow that’s lovely and all after going through the toxic part in the beginning it was worth it to see how far they’ve grown now 10 out of 10 and the reviewers were right it is peak. Oh another thing I love the relationship and the family dynamic of. soohyun I suppose it is refreshing to find out that he actually has a loving family and the way he treats his siblings and his siblings treat him is very loving which is more interesting because he came from loving background and family and he still obsessed with eunsung but it goes to show his character, which is where he was able to understand his feelings at the end of the day and he could critically understand his feelings in a more healthy manner so I love that when I was reading the note I was laughing at the fact that the author was saying she was so confused why everyone is asking about his older brother because that was me I saw his older brother I said yo he’s a cute guy. I hope we see him again drew him so nicely wish that there was a plot or a side story about him all in all very nice because he kept talking about he has a different aura. We love that and I love him 1,000,000 out of 10
