I love that even though they've both reciprocated their feelings for each other, they aren't rushing into sleeping with each other the way that most other manhwas would be having a 4-5 chapter smutfest rn.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but for a story that's trying to depict sensitive topics and dynamics with nuance, it just feels nice to see that the intimacy between them is also presented with the same consideration
Or maybe this is all just a very fancy way to say that I just love casual intimacy and yearning lol
I think I'm too used to only reading the build-up in a romance that leads up to the main characters getting together, and not the parts following it, where we see 2 people actually try to make things work. I stopped reading this a while back after Robin and Gyul became a couple but catching up after that has been quite pleasant.
Of course it might not seem as 'exciting' as when you're anticipating them to finally profess their love, but I think the seemingly mundane parts of it also can be refreshing if you think about how hard they had to fight to get to this point.
I like how deeply in love Robin and Gyul are with each other, how well they communicate, how much they try to understand each other and compromise wherever possible without giving up their individuality.











I always come back to re-read this when I'm going through a tough time. Seeing Shim Cheongsoon keep going through even the most difficult times, gives me the strength to return back to face my own hardships.
