Honestly it's boring. It takes an interesting concept that was already out there but fails to explore it in any meaningful way. Cute art but boring art also.
right like the ML apparently 'fell out of love' but we never really see that.
I guess wanting to prevent the death of your beloved knowing that she will die within the year. Isn't that bad?
Not to mention I don't really see how this story relates to the story of orpheus and eurydice other than the husband trying to save the wife
I think the "don't look back until you are out of the underworld" was a metaphor to his grief. He was given the curse to actually realize that he had already lost her. Yet he still holds on to the idea of going back to how things were before she first died. He didn't even realize she changed after dying so many times but her guard noticed it by how "mature" she's become. Their relationship isn't going back to however it was before and his ego couldn't accept that. So he took it upon himself to try and "save" her every damn time by contolling her in the guise of protection. He did this so desperately that he even ignored the fact she cheated. Not addressing the elephant in the room and going back to treating her the same until her 20th was like him in the og myth "looking back before they could leave the underworld" which led to Eurydice realizing that he is a red flag making her take back control by dying in her own terms which was what the gods wanted and foretold.
The female lead seems refreshing and seems well constructed. But wtf is going on with the male lead? Not only does he fit into the boring trope of the emotionless man but he is also not even interesting or nice???
