WooWon really got on my nerves from start to the end. I read this manhwa from its release right up to the last chapter and ever since Woowon ran off asking for some space I’ve had a bitter taste in my mouth regarding him again—something I thought I’d "gotten over” attributing it to my mindset back when the series was first coming out. Now that it’s over I decided to reread the whole thing to see if my dislike was just a silly grudge but it really wasn't; I honestly just can't deal with characters like WooWon. I know Seo An isn't easy to deal with either—he wants everything his way and tries to fix things quickly even when no one asked for his help—but Woowon’s behavior is incredibly frustrating for me as a reader: refusing to share what’s happening or express his feelings, hiding everything he’s going through, failing to stand by his word, refusing to let anyone help with easily solvable problems, and running away the moment things go wrong. I understand his trauma, but personally, I couldn't handle him. I don't get how Seo An manages it—he is such a strong-willed person and having his pride constantly bruised—because it’s always WooWon running away and Seo An chasing after him, never the other way around. Honestly... well, I actually really liked the manhwa despite my harsh criticism of Woowon. Between chapters ~40 and ~70, he wasn't always so annoying or stressful, but at times it became almost unreadable—especially from chapters ~15 to ~30 and from chapter 90 onwards. I really hope we get side stories soon to see how they handle life from here on out, because even though the manhwa has ended, it feels like *NOTHING* was actually resolved other than the death of Woowon’s father.
