let me start off by saying that i read this thinking it was not a love triangle because i hate reading love traingles. It's just something about it that rubs me the wrong way and i have been reading manhwas since i was 13 and i have only read three including this one and let me say that never again I will read something like this. And it is not because it was bad, but you'll know why in a little bit.
funny story, i started reading Lucky Paradise bc in twitter i saw someone saying that their sex scenes were soooo good and they even put a picture and i was like: good sex scenes? bet, i'll read it rn. and one thing about me is that once i start something, i have to finish it so I did.
I think that the one thing that kept me sane throughout all of this was the relantionship between woojin and hoin. it was so funny, and their relantionship is so good like in a soulmate way. not romanticlly, but if you have a friend like woojing or hoin, you know what I mean. it's someone you know that is going to be there for you no matter what happens and knows you so deeply, it was so refreshing seeing a friendship like that.
i must warn you about chapter 78. after reading the story, i don't know why, even after the happy ending, i still felt my heart feeling heavy. I couldn't understand why i was not happy after the ending. I think this chapter affected me too much. If you're a person that has been through sa or something similar or in the same traumatic category, don't read it. even after finishing the story, all i could think of was how chunwoo must have felt and how traumatizing it must have been for him. not only because of what he did, but all the things before that. he was so used to taesoo using him for his own good, that he didn't even realize what he was doing and then seeing how taesoo just wanted to die... it was just too much for me in my opinion. I think that this chapter felt too real, like manhwas are always unrealistic but this one felt to close to home. i didn't cry after reading that chapter, i was just concerned and disappointed. but after talking about this scene with my best friend, i started crying and I had to stop because i even started trembling. and it was not because of me, but because i kept thinking of chunwoo and how bad this experience must have been for him. i felt better after talking about it, something that taesoo has to learn.
if you ever want to take something from this manhwa, let it be to stop being stuck in the past. taesoo was so stuck in the past that he couldn't move forward. he felt guilty, lonely, mad at himself which resulted in that he couldn't stop thinking about the past, the things that happened in his family. even if he was true to his feeling and would open up about how he felt towards chunwoo, their relationship wouldn't work out because he couldn't move on. (honestly, this could've been avoided if he went to therapy) but it is also very realistic how we are so scared to look for help and to open up about how we feel. Please seek help if you ever feel lonely, empty or that you don't want ot be here anymore, i know there are people who would resent you and mourn you for making a bad decision to end your life.
i know its long but i wanted to write this for who ever may need it. I am really happy about the side stories because i know how much chunwoo loved taesoo, it is hard to forget somebody who you have loved for more than a decade but these side stories make me realize how much he has forgotten about him and how much chunwoo love hoin. he was his savior, his sunshine in all the darkness he has been in, i love how honest hoin is in telling him everyday that he loves him and when chunwoo said it for the first time to hoin? i almost cried with hoin too, i was so happy that he now has somebody who is not afraid to be sincere about his feelings.
overall, i give it an 6 out of 10 because some scenes are a little bit cringy like the fight scene but it was really satisfying seeing hoin mad so im not gonna be to harsh on the ranking also in every love triangle, the “bad” guy always has a past so it was predictable that bc of his past, he wasn’t able to be with the protagonist so a 7/10. in a way, i regret reading it because i am not a fan of love traingles but im glad i read it because i can see how much chinwoo is loved by hoin, and that makes me happy.
people say it's not a love traingle but it is. chunwoo loved taesoo as well as hoin. but he knew that what he had with teasoo was not gonna go anywhere. he realized it was too consuming, he had to put a stop on it and he did. so yeah, if you don't like love triangles, don't read it but if you don't mind it and you want to see a happy ending, then go for it, i hope this comment was helpful to those who are not sure to read it or not. have a blessed day guys, and don't forget to be open about your feelings, you may regret it if you aren't. byeeeee(⌒▽⌒)
