didn’t know manhwa could have storytelling this masterful tbh… the way the art is used to contribute to the narrative I LOVE IT. plus it’s so aesthetically pleasing… anyway, i was reluctant to read this story because the premise is kind of outlandish, but i grew to like it due to the raw portrayal of emotions and angst and the subtlety in the storytelling. even the ending is so PEAK with the panels with no dialogue, showing the reader how the characters grasp the situation and the main couple's relationship, without explicitly telling the reader what the characters are thinking. Just makes them feel so much more real. you can really tell much love went into this adaption with the writers/artist paying special attention to the lighting and composition to all the panels. still feels pretty exaggerated and it’s not the most realistic, but the execution is great. the writing and the art combined tell such an immersive, attractive, and thrilling story with excellent pacing imo

6 years ago this was peak, revolutionary even… Now it doesn’t stand the edge of time. It’s honestly pretty mid. I’m not sure why so many people were obsessed with it back then? This may have just been a lot of people’s first BL. The premise is relatively interesting, I’ll give it that. The art is also good, and you can see improve especially in the side stories. The story and plot itself is quite predictable and hits a lot of familiar story beats. There is an arc tho (?) At least, for the ML, Jiwon. He’s actually not that big of a jerk at the start, despite him acting very irrational, immature, and impulsive at the start. But a lot of that seems to magically go away when he falls in love with the MC. Honestly this is just decent. It’s an alright read, nothing special.
