Nova's Manga

Read this in 2021 on my original account. I remember really loving it so I wanted to read it again and see how well it held up. Ironically, now that I've re-read it, I literally cannoy stress how unlikeable the characters are in this story. Haesoo and Taekyung are both vapid and unimaginative voids of intellect and personality. I became increasingly frustrated with every single scene that Haesoo waxed about his shoddy feelings. Joowon is truly the only redeemable character in this story, and makes the time and energy that I put into reading it worth something. Man's solidly dedicated and unwavering, and you can't help but fall in love with that. When I first read this I was on the opposite spectrum. I adored Haesoo and I loved Taekyung. Just funny how tastes change over the years and after reading so many other stellar manhwa. You can't fault this manhwa for being shallow because it's clearly presented that way by the interviews from the characters in the first few chapters, but I really wish there was something more tangible to this story than one solid character supporting the weight of 100+ chapters on his own shoulders.
