this is my f*ck knows how many re-read of this year but damn the story is so sweet, i legit feel like i'm third wheeling while reading.
how do i say this. i feel bad but at the same time i dont for jihyun. because you know what they say, the abuse becomes the abuser. i love how author portrayed co-dependent relationships between them and how mc break the cycle at the end by not giving a single fuck anymore to jihyun.
I first read this back in high school. It’s 2026 now, and I’m 27. I stumbled upon this manga again after rereading *Sumire wa Blue* and the author’s other works. At first I hesitated because I barely remembered the details—only that it had made me cry over and over again.
Coming back to it now, I can honestly say this is the best work the author has ever written. Compared to this, many of her other mangas feel one-dimensional, especially the female characters who often come across as pitiful or shallow once they fall in love. This story is very different. Every character has depth, and the experience of reading it as an adult versus as a teenager feels completely different.
This time, I understood Yano’s personality much more, appreciated Nana’s devotion, and even empathized with Yuri’s struggles to some extent. I also just found out that this manga has both an anime and a live-action adaptation, but I don’t think I’ll ever watch them—I feel like nothing could truly do the manga justice. Overall, this is one of the best mangas I’ve ever read, and I know I’ll reread it again in a few years.
gosh maybe i'm biased but i really liked how they explained the industry very well. since i also work as AE in advertising agency, so i can relate to Mr. Kim work ethic and why he is the way he is. (this industry is no joke)
in terms of storytelling, every chapter has a clear direction and it's easy to understand. absolutely no cliche conversation and i'm very impressed with the translation.
the characters are matured and most of them have realistic reactions to every conflict. and i also loved how author explained every character's background without dragging it. ohhh and this is the first time i see a character who can do dirty talk the right way.
overall i really recommend everyone to read this as a cleanser plate after a very emotional heavy manhwa.
i love the idea behind the story but the plot and flow is so bad and confusing. but i got to admit the art is beautiful :)
dang i feel like i'm reading nakyum cheating on lord seungho lol but damn i wanna be sandwiched between the brothers ╮(￣▽￣)╭
