Well, I totally binge read this. I'm in love with the pacing and narrative. Very well done, I've been trying to read this for long then forgot (then mangago collapse my want to read list) I almost totally missed reading this, I saw this when it's still on going before so thank god I was able to still come back here.
Anyway, I wasn't prepared with the heat the 1st couple will get after checking the comments here. So I will come here and say I enjoy the 1st couple better than the 2nd couple. The 2nd couple I would say is a very well written romance, if it's on its own, I would definitely not read it at all. It's too generic for my taste.
While the 1st couple story is such a complex and controversial piece that I personally enjoy. I almost didn't enjoy this before as I don't like side couples in a single romance story my motto is "Why not create a new story?" than trying to coattail an unrelated trope to the story, like "Mr 100% Perfect" is completely unrelated to the 2nd couple.
But I like everything is connected, interwined and introduce since the early chapters so it became seamless to jump to other characters unlike other romance side couples.
I like the tension, deep (shallow), development of the 1st couple something that the 2nd couple didn't give me. 2nd couple are great people. But I admire characters who came out looking normal while having deep anguish and traumas (not blind single minded people).
Take the villain Kwoni, he turn out evil due to his past. But WooIn could be very well be an evil person given what he gone through and he didn't, he's very well written and Sungkyun too, they are imperfect (that's given) but they are admirable to come a long way (being better than most that has it better).
And did you know the corpse of someone who has drown is one of the worst sight you could see a human flesh to be in? It's such a traumatic experience especially for someone that young, deciding burial and no one to depend on.
One of my gripe in this story is how the Author set the mood on 1st couple, with hell-bent-on-sched person and break ups (which I enjoy) and the progress is totally harsh and rash in the beginning, it's like those popular "getting cheated on" starters for Shoujo. It's just really there to riled you up and read ahead, so I think she wasn't able to write the 1st couple well and just use to riled the story up for the most part. I wish they could gone deeper on them, there's still so much to it.
And I also totally get WooIn cutting off with Jun, it's bittersweet but I think what I also wish for WooIn, he didn't need to be tied to that miserable past. It might be mostly sunshine and butterflies for Jun but not might be for WooIn. He doesn't owe anyone anything anymore, he should live past that and not felt obligated by decisions of adults. Jun cut him off first, WooIn shouldn't be unable to do the same (which he didn't). They're out of touch for long, so it's has been their ending for long.
