It's like they sold all the yearning and slowburn for rushed smut scenes. It's a shit deal tbh.
I'M CRYING BECAUSE THIS LITERALLY CHANGES A LOT OF THINGS!! Especially the eventual confessions! Bro that scene was so cute and honestly heartwarming. And the ML realized his feelings a long way in the future. They were supposed to be best friends to lovers.... Now they're like fwb/fubus to lovers, not saying there's anything wrong with that, it just means they changed a huge part of their dynamic and eventual relationship for what? For smut.
I was genuinely happy when they added the kiss scene in the previous chapter because I thought they're adding another variable that's going to make their journey towards an established relationship a lot more clear? But I guess they just wanted to add a build up for the smut. If they're going to add sex but not include the narrative and how emotional it was for them in the novel then what's the point?
I remember watching this on short clips searching everywhere on fb to find the whole ep. I first heard Claire de Lune because of this anime and I remember how shocked I was when my 9th grade teacher assigned us to make a poem inspired by this piece. My poem was inspired by the anime... I can't believe it has a manhwa









I marinated this for months and now I'm stuck waiting for szn 2 after binging in one night . I love the art so much, I don't even know shit about art buy reading this makes me want to try drawing because what do you mean they found each other way before they even met because they connected through a painting??? ARE YOU LOVERS IN YOUR PAST LIVES OR SOMETHING?? WHAT IN THE SCARLET HEART RYEO—Wait no I take it back I'm hoping to god their past lives wasn't that tragic.
