This story was pretty good for most of it, I liked the development between the characters, and the relationship fallout with Yoon and building with Yul was pretty well done imo. However the ending was kinda of a trainwreck. Even if it ended "happy"

The final drama with Naush breaking up with yul at the end was resolved poorly. This is because the time the webtoon spent focusing on the characters dealing with the breakup wasnt enough, it was like going 0 to 100, from awful circumstances to happy again.

It mostly showed Yul feeling awful, and I feel like the silly encouter with shinwhateverhisname was and him lying about Yul sleeping with him, aswell as their other interactions was kinda eh... really kind of a waste of time? I mean wouldnt Shin care about why Naush broke up with Yul in the first place and try to confront Naush? I thought they were friends. (It kinda belittles Shins character development when he just goes after Yul again here)

Also Shin doesnt tell Yul they didnt do it, and thats never addressed again, so assumingly Yul is thinking he did it with shin. This makes the "reconcillation" sex Yul has with Naush when they're back together at the end feel well.. disingenuous? It kinda soils it.

Anyway, that whole thing was unnecessary to me, pretty much ruined the story for me.

Moving on, Naush basically didnt get any cool down development from the dramatic break up, we just see a couple of shots of him looking like hes dead and then suddenly hes ok again, and ready to jump back into Yuls arms.

Overall I feel like there wasnt enough development post-breakup, niether of them
felt redeemed for their actions, I wish the author focused on that more, I'd feel happier for them in the end, alas, I dont, and it feels rushed and slapped together.

A good example of a webtoon that does a good job handling the cool down after a big negative event is "Bj Alex"..

BTW Spoils for it if you haven't read it, (its real good shit so go do that)

In BJ Alex, we have enough time for each character to see how they're feeling after they part, and Alex even feels like hes slighlty redeemed when he admits he's in love, and admits he doesnt deserve Dongyun. We even see Dongyun try to cope, and eventually admit he still loves Alex too. This way as a reader we are on the same page as the characters, so when the reconsile, it feels right, because we know the intentions behind both characters.

Even after Alex and Dongyun get together the story doesnt end, we see the characters struggle to be the best they can be for eachother, and this helps redeem Alex's asshole behavior from before even more, as he supports Dongyun. When the story does it ends it feels soooo right, all the loose strings tied up, and I can believe the couple will be ok.

Naush and Yul However, I can only hope Naush tells the truth about relationship threating problems, and Yul never abuses Naush like he did before when he was insecure.

Anyway, thats my two cents, I was feeling really unsatisfied so I needed to expressed my opinions. I need to read something soft now. Here I come Star x Fanboy.
