ignoring a lot of my personal feelings about the work itself, i think a big thing before reading i want to know is whether or not a manhwa is entertaining. this was really entertaining, and it helps that the art is fabulous.
now for my actual commentary on the plot, in-seob. really, this is just a story of in-seob being surrounded by people with various degrees of mental health problems, and him having unrealistic amounts of empathy for their problems, but also having mental problems of his own that somehow make him believe that he is responsible for the mental health of the people around him due to his own trauma.
i actually really like the toxic dynamic between the two of them at the very end of the story. i have a soft spot for that type of trope where one is super fucking crazy and the other just accepts them for that. i just love that every time.
honestly, i can’t even put into words all of my little itty-bitty emotions about everything. jennie really frustrated me a lot of times, and it was primarily due to her mental health episodes. it really goes to show that mental health issues are not an excuse for bad behavior, but rather an explanation, which then allows the people around you who experience the outbursts and negatives of your mental disorder to accept that for who you are, or give themselves boundaries.
ultimately, jennie paid the ultimate price, and it’s not in-seob’s fault, even remotely, nor is it woo-yeon’s. it’s neither of their fault.
i really enjoyed this manhwa. i’m surprised i never heard of it before. probably because the name is weird.
