I feel like everyone is kinda missing smth from the part about why the Taejun committed suicide (from comments I’m seeing so far but idkk PLEASE DON’ ATTACK ME SHNDHD)

Obviously, a teacher and a student dating is not allowed therefore it was already forbidden. Not to mention this teacher already had a family. But that wasn’t all, the dad didn’t really mind having a relationship with Taejun until Donghyun threatened him with a photo of them kissing.

It was written on the paper that if he gave it in, Taejun’s future would be gone. Donghyun did this because of his jealousy, his obsession and what he thought was “doing the right thing”. This was the main reason why Seheon’s dad broke up with Taejun, he didn’t want his future demolished because of him. Hence the events after and the cause of all the suffering. All because of unspoken feelings and miscommunication.

I can’t forgive anyone in this manhua. Seheon was literally dragged into the mess that was created by all these people around him. It caused him great suffering since the death of the Hyung of his lover was partially caused by his own father.
The one I can’t forgive the most is Donghyun, who selfishly acted out of his jealousy and obsession. He never spoke of his feelings again after that one time when he said them to the wrong person. And hiding them, he decided to get rid of other people first instead of communicating his feelings and thoughts to Taejun. I know some people are going to attack me for it but I just can’t get myself to feel happy for him.

The mess created by Taejun, Seheon’s dad and Donghyun. It’s always going to bring me tears whenever I reread this. It’s just a comic yet it talks about the most unspoken topics. Suicide, divorce, forbidden love, obsessiveness, jealousy, delinquency, forbidden passions, jazz.
When I mean forbidden passions, I’m talking about how Seheon’s family was against him playing piano. I wish they could have touched more on this topic since after it was introduced, no one spoke about it again.

I’m not saying I hate anything in this manhua, I absolutely love it. I’m just as a reader, relating to the characters and living with them, sharing their journey. I’ll forever love this comic, the characters and the actual feelings I feel for them. I highly recommend this to anyone who reads or watches Given, they share the same topics. Though I feel this manhua speaks more to the heart when you listen to Centimillimetal’s songs ‘bokura dake no shudaika’ and ‘yorugaakeru’.

Thank you for spending your precious time reading this, it was basically only my thoughts and opinions but I just wanted to get it out there for other people who probably feel the same. This is the first time I’ve ever written such a long comment about a manhua I’ve read, but this has made a great impact on me and I’m really hoping for more like this. I really thank the author Clarju for creating this masterpiece, I really feel like listening to Jazz now :)

Once again I thank our for reading this, I’ll stop now.
