I agree with you on the fact that he has his father and his brother that love him wholheartedly and loudly, and amazing friends too. However, when you have a complicated relationship with a parent, even if it's just one, it always feels like you're gonna be that kid yearning for their love, even when you don't really want to, it's like you're back to the kid that begged for attention, even though you know you've changed and your circumstances are better. That's why I like this manhwa, it rlly shows how complicated family dynamics can get. He knows that she has affection for him in some way, but he also knows that she preferred to follow her father rather than her own family, and let's not forget that he's a teenager, he still has a lot to learn either way so I'm excited to see how this will all play out!
Yeah you’re right I still haven’t continued from where I left off so who am I to give a review really. I’m sure my opinion will change as I read because I do appreciate redemption arcs, but it’s entertaining to leave out comments regarding my current feelings of where I was reading it at the time.
I think my main issue would be the fact that I approached this manhwa expecting that he literally was Paganini who just happened to reincarnate into a random korean boy’s body lmao so him feeling strongly for his neglectful mother felt strange at first cause as Paganini, why does he have an emotional connection to a stranger?
I realized then that it’s one of those body merge tropes where ‘paganini’ lived out the life of the mc’s other personality ‘joowon’ and so he experienced everything from the same perspective including his feelings towards his family and is not simply just ‘paganini’. I’ll continue where I left off some other time when I’m less busy and see how the story unfolds.
Oh you're right too, tbh I was also confused, like if you were a grown man in another life, why are you so affected by this? but at the same time, he grew up all over again w a whole new family, culture and perspective so maybe that's why he's still a child on the inside? I feel like when it comes to music or other aspects he's pretty mature but the second his family is involved, his mind is so clouded and his behavior changes a lot as well, as you said we'll see as the story progresses.
Hmm it’s so-so for now. How tf are you Paganini when you’re gonna be bested by a high schooler during a performance lmao well he is a high school student for now maybe that’s why he’s immature.
Everything’s all well tho a bit average, except for the fact my blood pressure rises at the fact he has a whole ass loving father who RAISED him and his brother, and he’s chasing after the woman who left them whatt??? So many stories have the same troupe but reverse the gender and the father will be unredeemable, just because she’s a ‘mother’ the author thinks it’s an excuse lol Idc what sad backstory reason there is at least communicate with your family
Well it’s all fictional so no point in finding reason for something essential to create some “drama”. It’s still not well written tho compared to Kono Oto Tomare
