It checked off a lot of my cravings, I never even expected a regular unil/modern korean manhwa to actually satisfy those.
There were a few things that lacked such as a deeper dive into Yeonjun's past, or the entire deal of why Uigun's older brother is a whole downward spiral of fucked up, but the glimpses of their past via the narration/memory of the main cast, or for Yeonjun's case, a very vague and messy recollection of his memories, made enough sense for yiu to read between the lines and piece everything together.
I think for modern manhwas like this, it makes a lot of sense more focus is drawn for the MC and ML and a little bit of the side characters (and more budget for the porn ig) but I think the pacing was actually pretty good?
My favorite of them all was the misunderstandings, I think all the misunderstandings that snowballed actually made sense because in what chance of possibility would there be the fact your crush has a TWIN who lived a completely different life that genuinely build a whole ball of different persona on your face? I mean, it's so far fetched but it's still some grounds for the misunderstanding.
Either way, the fact that ML was an absolute scumbag who genuinely turned anxious, pathetic and pitiful towards the end was such a good flavor too. When the ML regrets so hard they grovel on their knees, begging, and forever traumatized by their own guilt so they become pathetically devoted, I love that!
I think writing wise, it was a very straightforward storytelling. Maybe that was why I couldn't really tear up despite feeling very connected to the story and the pacing. It wasn't exactly introspective, so I couldn't feel the character's miseey, in the same way some other manhwa's actually make you feel miserable like you are living their life from their eyes. With this manhwa, it's like you're watching a drama on TV, you feel a pinch in your heart, you think it's awful, you think this or that person shouldv'e done these or those. I think writing wise could've been better in terms of narrative direction, but iverall, again, the pacing was good, the flow of wach event seemes to fit like a snug puzzle which is not so common in manhwas!
I honestly don't have anything bad to comment about MC or ML, they acted pretty much in character, their dynamics fit each other and they fit each other well!
Unexpected good read after a bunch of slop lately.
