gloves stay on during sex is all I got from this
jokes aside, id dog on heejae for his violent approach to sex, but I guess it somehow balances out because of garams masochistic tendencies.i also wonder if their music styles influence the way they have sex. It was mentioned before that heejaes playing is electrifying, seductive, and intense, whereas garams is more careful and gentle. but just as garam was able to see the softness and the underlying sadness in heejae’s playing, does he see that same vulnerability during sex and just as heejae sees himself reflected in garams sound, does he also recognize that beneath garams soft, careful touches there’s still a need for rawness and intensity. im just rambling now but I’ve been thinking about it
Oh I love this idea of the mirror so much! Especially when you consider how similar and different their approaches are to their sound! They both hold the power to be soft and to be sharp and know how and when to wield it. It also kinda suggests inherently this idea of the inner, like Garam and Heejae may not outwardly seems like mirrors of each other to others/the world bc of how different they are in their sound and repertoire and their positions in society (the intense volatile Romantics that Heejae loves and is so good at along with him being Garam’s mentor/professor vs the quicksilver, fractured, ephemeral Impressionists that are Garams’s natural inclination and him being a student/protégée), but if we continue the mirror metaphor when they look into it they see each other inside them, in a view only they can have/understand. While outwardly not bearing a resemblance, internally knowing that they hold significant pieces/influence of each other. These pieces of each other come up in important moments both professionally and personally! Their enmeshment is depicted so intricately it’s beautiful
Anyway sorry to rant (hope this makes sense?), just really loved your thought!!!
im glad garam is finally standing up for himself. I get that the professor’s plans usually lead to good results, but he’s so controlling over garams career that it’s making his musical journey feel stagnant. When everything is handed to you, you never really learn how to work for it, and I think that’s holding garams sound back.


I feel like people oversimplify this whole manager situation. a lot of people seem to interpret it as heejae emotionally cheating on garam whenever his manager appears during their intimate moments. but this manhwa has always been about emotional growth and self reflection. heejae has always struggled with vulnerability, only confronting his emotions after letting garam into his heart. his late manager isn’t there because heejae loves him romantically, he represents heejae’s biggest regret. he never got the chance to apologise or make things right before his manager died, so hes still carrying unresolved guilt and grief. now with garam, hes terrified of repeating those same mistakes and being abandoned all over again. those memories aren’t a sign that he’s choosing his manager over garam they’re a manifestation of his guilt, regret, and fear of losing someone he finally allowed himself to love.
thank you for saying this, this is exactly what i have been thinking. this story has a lot of complex emotions and situations involved that i think are sometimes misinterpreted.
The way you explained,it is very beautiful
Yeah ppl hating on manager and heejae but they dont understand the deeper meaning
