A Good Read - love the second lead couple

I pulled an all nighter just for the second lead couple. I like their relationship dynamic and the pace of it. The main couples felt average, slow-burn, predictable, nothing really stood out.

A couple of critiques: the characters’ backstories were poorly unfolded. We never really see how Hyesung struggled and how that led him to self‑harm; Taehyung’s injury, recovery phase, and how he built friendship at the hospital; and the ML’s sister relationship with Taehyung (he mentioned that she helped him in his earlier days, but we only get the surface level). The author tends to drop all the background information on the reader at once instead of letting it emerge naturally, which weakens character depth.

I also noticed that Taehyung and Hyesung have the same face angles in the last chapters, just with different clothing on. I’d like to see some more creative angles, but I’m going to give grace because I don’t know much about the work that goes into this and if the artist is going through things. It’s simply an observation.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read with solid potential, but it could have been much stronger with more organic character development.
