one of my favs but i wish the author was able to spend more time grappling with soongaps grief around mojil, especially when entering a new relationship with bongchun near the beginning. like mojil had JUST died. this isnt to say something ridiculous like “soongap moved on too fast!!! he doesnt deserve mojil” or something; i also understand there are probably people out there that actually do move on from grief like soongap does in the story, but i just feel like there was a missed opportunity to explore grieving a loved one that was taken from you when moving onto the next relationship. i think the author could have done that really well.
generally it also kind of just felt like it couldve been explored more in general. soongap’s grief was definitely discussed, but it felt… not very deep to me? more like it was peppered throughout the story rather than being respected as the literal impetus to the story. i could see people disagreeing with me here though
tbf u could argue im biased lol. my heart genuinely hurt when reading through mojil and soongap’s past and i just felt kind of shafted when there wasn’t more of a focus in it
i think so too. i understand not wanting past relationships to be brought up again but what soongap and mojil had was a good one until time became a thief. it would’ve been fine to show soongap mourning him at times as mojil was an important part of his life at one point.
honestly the fact that uploads have been so slow really helped build up the sense of SLOOW burn between these two, which just made it so much better bc now its like everything is happening so fast which is what i imagine its like for the characters immediate reread
