This was genuinely one of the books with the best writing of characters I've read in a long time, the characters are written so well, even the tiny tiny habits and ticks like how hyun woo is really petty is kept through his interactions and young wons tsundere personality sticks with him till the end, even their witty banter and bickering is so organic. You can tell how much love and work was poured into fleshing out these two maniacs and its what makes the story so lovable. That level of realness that makes it as if you have already met these two at some point in time. It was such an experience reading istg
The way the author explores and carefully balances psychological settings is lowkwy genius, the way these 2 function together despite everything and even how they slowly pry at each others unresolved mental trauma and somehow manage to if not heal but atleast come to terms with it is jsut gorgeous.
The coming of age theme that the author wished to embody shines through cuz the way the character interactions throughout the story is set up is so real.
Also the massive skill improvement in the lighting in season really helped set the tone for alot of the scenes and really just made the impact of all the different povs that we see more jarring and stark. Its so satisfying seein jsut how different each character experiences a particular scene and comparing it with thw others and finding it to be somewhat different
