I had so many things to say when I was halfway through the manhwa but now, I'm speechless. It feels like everything that had to be said was already said in the manhwa and I couldn't even be as half as good as the author is with words. Wow, this story was truly beautiful.
I love how nothing gets watered down and how the author manages to encapsulate exactly how it feels and is to be a victim of grooming and SA. I'd go as far as to say even the other students knowing something was going on and how Hansol handed the situation was very accurate.
Often times when you're a kid faced with such big problems you end up feeling isolated and so far from your other peers you stop feeling like a kid and start acting like an adult. It was so important to address how Jungwon felt as a kid is such a dire situation and how everyone in his class also felt about him because that's the reality of how kids who are outside of the situation respond vs the kid whose in the situation. Hansols words were harsh but they were necessary. I also like how mid story when Jungwon decided to leave with his mother that Gilsung decided to let him go even if he later ended up regretting it. It was needed for Jungwon and I don't consider it to be him running away. He had the strength to admit he was struggling and he needed to heal. Even though Gilsung knew why he left and understood him, he was still hurt and struggled for years. All in all, this manhwa ended up being a favourite of mine. I will definitely be checking out the authors other works. Definitely one to remember and come back to.
