I'm not a writer by any means but I could have done a better job than this. I think we all could.
•AU- Omegaverse. I'd buy chapters twice to see a Taesung/Haebom tiny human hybrid. Yonghee and Jia would be the godparents. Mr Jo and Ms Ha as the prettiest grandparents. Omg... the cheeks on Haebom and tiny Haebom while eating... absolute easiest way to milk readers for money
•Cherry Blossoms in Spring- a spin off for Yonghee finding a partner
•Side stories- cute bakery stories while Mr Jo and Ms Ha get back together now that they are older & wiser, and are competing with Taesung for time with Haebom. I want more sass between Mr Jo and Haebom
•AU- Role reversal. Haebom the dominant one and Taesung being a proper submissive top, bending to all of Haebom's whims
•Season 5- knowing grandpa is still a threat, Taesung and Haebom consider coming out publicly. If everyone knows Taesung is gay and already married, grandpa loses his leverage to sabotage them. Could be a great continuation to the story. Mr Jo and Ms Ha openly acknowledge their marriage and relationship. Tension could be how it affects everyone's businesses. Taesung & Haebom dealing with social media and unwanted attention...
•AU- Regression- Taesung doesn't say he doesn't want Haebom as a brother. We get to see the kind of childhood they could have had. Maybe without that decade of a misunderstanding, Taesung wouldn't be so insecure. He's stop these red flag moments of coercion and just be a good bf.
Instead... we have this absolute b.s......
Why are the bandages wrapped around his neatly coiffed hair?? So many artists do this... Dude had brain surgery for a brain hemorrhage. They would have shaved at least part of his head. I get he's rich & pretty, but they wouldn't be combing and styling his hair, then redressing his wounds around his hair to keep him pretty. He'd have on a hospital gown, not neatly bottoned hospital pajamas. How are they getting that over his casted arm? Let's not even talk about how he's been in a coma for at least 2 weeks. I can forgive not drawing the foley, or drawing covers big enough to seemingly hide it, but there's no feeding tube. He'd have died. Any other health-care workers get thrown off by things like this?
Since it's a 3hr "Time Til Free," I'm doing a reread on T@ppy-tune (it won't post spelled correctly.) I didn't realize how many times Woojin SA-ed him. It sucks cause now I wonder how much of it was guilt to Woojin, and how much of it was conditioning from his abusive ex, that he put up with it. I'm glad Haekyung is okay. And if he's happy with Woojin, so be it. Just a bit sad because I forgot just how toxic Woojin really is
I don't see Taesung and Haebom as real characters anymore. Hear me out.... Our Sunny Days- Haebom, Ho, and Sol are real, living their best life, and I'm super happy waiting for the side stories. I'm happy to have met them in their story. Roses & Champagne- as much as I loathe this story, Caesar and Lee Won are living their best life. I just couldn't care less about them. It's not about being a good or bad story or having good or bad characters. I just believe these characters could exist somewhere. Even here in CBAW, Jia and Yonghee are real and I love hearing about them. Mr Jo and Ms Ha are far from perfect but I believe in them too. But Taesung and Haebom? They don't feel really anymore. Maybe they are clones or avatars being controlled by Bamwoo and the people around them haven't noticed yet. Now, clearly I know Bamwoo is writing this, but 99% of people will agree Bamwoo lost the plot of their own story. It feels like Bamwoo forgot who they were over these last 4 years and replaced them with entities who are doing a horrible job of impersonating Taesung and Haebom.
People made college courses around the greatness of The Matrix. They could eventually make college courses on how not to destroy a story with Cherry Blossoms After Winter.
Yo... the ends of these chapters got me feeling like I'm looking at Jinwoo's feet. What do you mean it's over and I gotta wait until next week?? Ugh.........
What is the lore behind the deities? The Sable Tiger is higher than the snake. Who are the other deities? How are they ranked between these two? Is there anything above the Sable Tiger?
Chihyeon is the son of that guy who was selling fake medicine to Doram. Ok. I get that he's mad that his dad died, but does he not understand that his dad was poisoning people? Some people likely died. Is he in denial of this? And going after Doram... he knew that would lead to a death sentence. Is he that desperate to die, that he'd kill someone innocent? A former slave who clearly lived a harder life than him? Who was also a victim of the emperor he hates?? Grrrrrrrrr
Snake dude Daesa effed up. Still, no sight, hearing, or speaking is a fate worse than death. I'd find the fastest exit after something like that. I wonder if there is a way for him to heal? Or exit and come back whole?
Chihyeon... he's an idiot. I get him being upset, but was he not paying attention? This is a beef between deities. He should be happy he's still breathing. Instead, he's gonna plan more nonsense. I want to have empathy for him but he makes me wanna throw a slipper at his forehead. Both slippers....
We're 44 chapters in and I feel like the story has barely started. It's annoyingly good. I don't mind being confused and yelling at my phone at the end of these chapters. I hope Doram's brother is alive. Please give Doram that mercy.....
I gave up on this story. Just checked back from time to time to see if it ended. Today is that day. Guess I was right that it wouldn't be Jo. It was never going to be him. He's a good guy for the context of the story, but he's not as green of a flag as people say he is. Regardless, those two are broken. A broken only the other can really understand. Tj is trash. Ian isn't much better. If they can find some semblance of happiness together, then that's good. If Jo can find someone who balances him out, that will be good too. I'm glad everyone is alive at the end of the story. I hope the Ian x Jo shippers will be okay... or that they find some juicy DJs that give them the story they wanted.








Good luck to those who continue reading this. You have my respect. I'm so done. At the end of the day, if Taesung had called his parents when he found Haebom, instead of raping him and being some single brain celled insatiable idiot, we wouldn't be here right now. I enjoyed The Last Zombie, but I will not be reading anything else by Bamwoo.
