I read this like a couple years back when I was new to the manhwa space but now that I’ve reread I really have to go wow. I kinda did not expect how one dimensional it was. A lot of the conflicts in this story go: Yoohyun is bothered from Yoojin -> Blows his fuse -> Yoojin promises he won’t do xyz again -> Yoojin retracts his promise to do xyz and thus the cycle continues. It’s fun the first two times, but gets exhausting for me to see yandere Yoohyun be the source of a conflict yet AGAIN even after a billion chapters have passed. That’s the thing with any korean webnovel in that the characters remain static so that the author can keep writing a billion chapters instead of actual character growth.
And that’s my other problem w this cast - it’s been over like 150 chapters and not a single one of these ppl have actually progressed. like why tf has riette literally not apologized and continues to get a pass in abusing noah?? why is this all treated as a joke? it’s literally so disgusting. we also just don’t get any mentions of noah and his trauma? they literally had to separate them countries apart and yet they continuously keep having them on screen together and it’s all thrown under the rug about his trauma. idk this story really rubs me the wrong way on how it consistently brushes aside how dark these characters are and how they just get slaps on the wrist to keep this pretext of wholesomeness. i like this as a guilty pleasure, but i really have to just not be able to look at this critically to be able to enjoy it. I like yanderes, but i don’t like how plastic this story gets
