i truly regret not reading this before form of sympathy. it adds soo much context to yuri's character. honestly, yohan's clinginess reminds me a lot of yuri and mr lee's dynamic.
as expected from nodeok, even their debut work is top tier T.T
the whole story just has a certain wholesome aura about it that makes me want to smile but also cry tears of nostalgia.
and the lighting!!! it's so pretty, like a constant sunset. it bathes the characters in a golden light that really fits the vibe of the story. now contrast that with shape of sympathy where the color palatte is almost always desaturated. it's so interesting how clever artists can use color harmonies to convey theme
