I'll pretend S2 never existed.
I'm so fucking mad at how the character development just...stopped? What about Ilhoon's loneliness? What about the nightmares he had about his mother that were mentioned in S1? Fuuuuuckkkk I'm so angryyyyy
S1 was supposed to be for developing their romance, and S2 to delve into them as people and see them grow, and fuck respectfully and healthily.
Waste of a perfect S1, I'll never forget about this manhwa and all for the wrong reasons, fuck this.
First season of this was so perfect, a 10/10, I could feel the tension between two men who just realised they can like other men through the screen, the characters were both hansome, the slow burn was perfectly executed in few chapters somehow, there was an open and accepting friend, there was ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BISEXUALITY, sex was super hot, Ilhoon was vocal during sex, and they just gradually fell in love with each other, organically, naturally.
And then season 2 was... fucking ABYSMAL?!?! Yoonchae became extremely possessive, Ilhoon went back to being a pushover, they just lost their communication skills from one season to the other, sex sometimes looked borderline forced, the conflict with Ilhoon and his friend never got addressed again, there was no further character development, the friends just disappeared and it was mostly them sulking or arguing or fucking...
I honestly can't understand how an author can write something so good, so genuine, and completely fuck it up after a hiatus. The first season made me think this would be my new favourite BL of all time because I'm a sucker for simple storylines with gay tension between guys who didn't know they liked men before, I srsly think it's a plot point that I barely see in BL even though it's so exciting to see, but now I feel robbed and honestly just, sad.
