Can someone pls explain to me why the story is called “No More Eurydice”. I understand the story of Orpheus and Eurydice but I’m currently in ch 102 and I don’t understand the author’s vision of calling their story that title. I’m just slow ㅠㅡㅠ

    The myth of Eurydice is
    very complex and full of meaning; the fact that Eurydice was Orpheus' muse is certainly not a coincidence.
    The idea that Orpheus turns to look for Eurydice despite Hades, the God of Death, telling him not to turn around is, to me, a clear reference to the manager's death and heejae’s fears and so no Eurydice". the author's vision of
    Heejae's anxieties. And the fact that it's called "no more" suggests that the story is based on Orpheus's growth as he abandons his insecurities and fear about the death, both in the mind and physically (so also his obsession about gems)

    Yeah sorry for the spoiler xD also I wrote Orpheus but I meant Heejae xD sorry English is not my first language :3 btw Heejae from ch 90 to now has a real big character’s growth and I believe Garam is helping him really a lot , as I say he is a big part in that “no more”

    Thank you :) I just hope they would stop fighting. It literally breaks my break seeing them being so hard on each other but at the same time it’s beautiful in the way as the story progresses.

    tbh it's not clear to me yet if/how the author will use the myth as an allegory; although i'm sure they will at some point, i don't necessarily agree with the interpretations above. so far, the only direct reference to the eurydice myth has been at the school in korea- the name of the performance hall and the name of the big concert for students at the end of the semester was Orpheus.
