I think yeonwoo is a selfish and manipulative person. I do find them cute together but he’s so selfish with the whole I have no reason to live without you bs. He also has a mental illness which the author seems to think can just be cured by love. It’s disgusting watching Hwibum give up everything to be with him and I just could not enjoy the story even though I read it to the end lol. The whole move to America with me was what finally tipped me over and I just had to drop it. Hwibum worked so hard to be a teacher and he’s just supposed to abandon his dream, family and friends to move to the US for a boyfriend in a country where he knows no one but yeonwoo, not even the language. I hate that they never really explored yeonwoo’s issues and it’s just hidden behind oh he’s so cute. I know the art is pretty but tbh this is a textbook emotionally abusive relationship even though it’s written in a fluffy romcom style. Imagine living with someone that threatens to off themselves every time something doesn’t go their way. I know the bar for romance is pretty low in bl manhwas but just because a story doesn’t have non con doesn’t mean it’s good. Giving it an overall 5/10 just bc I really like Hwibum.
