I wasn't feeling it. Let's start at the good side, the pain and angst of this one was well written, it tug my emotions which I like when reading angsty manhwas. The flow of the story was nice as well. The characters POV is also good but lacking. Onto why I don't enjoy it as much as my beloved oppressor although I'm quite biased bcs I really cried over that one. I hate the couples dynamic, there's this invisible power dynamic between them and it's still evident until the last chapter. The indifferent x naive is just not it, it was frustrating. Second, Bjorn's character over all. I love me some toxic ML but he's not that charming and basing in the dynamic it felt suffocating, dumb and pathetic. His actions, words, decisions always results to Erna being hurt and he doesn't bathe an eye to it. His realization was too late in the game. I don't like how he's putting her in uncomfortable situations as well and doesn't take no for an answer. The redemption was frustrating, it was not enough of reflection, suffering and regret. He always 'mask' it with non chalant face which made it worse and he's arrogant as fuck. This arc survive with Erna doing all the understanding yet again with a wavering heart.
The dating or trying to fall in love again was supposed to be cute but it felt unfair. God forbid a woman should let got and be let go. Idk I just don't like how now they're trying again when they're time off to reflect is so little and Bjorn barged in again half of the time.
It was a good read but not satisfying because it's always Erna who's the bigger person in this relationship. I just hope the sidestories would ease this unsatisfaction.
