SO FUCKING CUTE THIS IS SUCH A CULT CLASSIC!!!! FUCK!! they’re so adorably domestic I literally can’t take itttttttt, plus the slice of life genre makes it so you feel you really get to know these characters!!! I love how they’re totally opposite at the beginning but they still mesh together so so perfectly, and they keep their individuality after getting together. I also love the teasing dynamic bc that’s totally what I want for myself irl, and they always communicate so healthily I fucking want it!!! This shit makes bitches feel lonely, it’s tooooooooo cute ugh

"burning hot but cold, frosty but warm" perfectly encapsulates their chharacters, and that dynamic is the main (and most compelling) feature of this story. I truly loved it. Yes, its a bit fucked up but its bc the ppl in it are a bit fucked up, due to fucked up circumstances, and this gives them the space to heal and grow together. This did a phenomenal job at characterization, and using LITERARY DEVICES (like wtfff) to convey the story?? and the contrast between the panels and dialogue totally deserves analysis!!! the beginning is definitely a little rough but you can totally see how the author and characters completely evolve!! Plus they do so around an interesting storyline with an incredibly satisfying end, which is a great plus to this manhua. It was such a delight to see the mc and ml fall in love, and try and analyze all the critical moments, I love how this emphasizes the show not tell mantra that so common in storytelling. I just think this is an amazing, if tragic (but happy ending) work THE EXTRAS R ALL ADORBS AND DOMESTIC RAHHHHH
