Others have commented about how SukYun is abusive and obsessive and it's frankly a bit sad how this is framed as the better outcome when the only thing happening is them becoming more and more codependent to each other. Instead of putting a healthy boundary with Jun to save the last remaining bit of a resemblance of a family WooIn just went no contact, which is understandable but also further fed into his mentality of "I have only SukYun left", leaving a bad aftertaste to their romance. For me, their toxic traits instead of adding to their story just diminish the value of their relationship, making it seem frail and conditional. Like, what if Woo In finds other friends? What if he wants to go to college? What if he ever feels sad and needs distance? Their relationship as it is by the end of the story couldn't withstand any of those hardships... And yet we're supposed to believe this was the best outcome for them? Or to believe they will last long like that? Idk, maybe it's just not my cup of tea.
For me this works best as a psychological thriller, the protagonist stays in a dazed state most of the time and he looks almost dissociated in some scenes, the only times he ever looks like he's actually present and alert is when he's at work. ML working with him almost works as an analogy of letting the mask he puts on for work slip off, forgoing what little stability was left on his life.







idk I feel the author is ragebaiting me and I allow myself to be ragebaited just by continuing reading this... not even complaining just an observation
