Just finished it and I’m about to burst in tears. It’s an incredibly beautiful story. Please read this, I promise you won’t regret this decision! The review score (even though it should’ve been 10 out of 10) speaks for itself!! The rest contains spoilers and me trying to explain myself with the right words.
Tale of the yellow dragon has a well developed plotline, and not to mention, an amazing pace! A beautiful world with so many features and details, letting us readers flow within time and space, and gives away such a magical astmosphere. With 5 kingdoms, some main enemies, few characters that’s actually involved in the plot, the story gives away so much to know and still makes it easy to consume. And it needs to be said, the story had a mysterious vibe along side with the magical feeling, making everything even better. Because we never got to know everything like a goddamn explanation just written for the readers to understand the new world. The explainations were released in pieces, to keep the plotline compact and hidden, so that we almost saw everything by Dojin and Yellow Dragons perspective without getting beforehand spoilers!
Dojin and Yellow Dragons...I swear by the Gods...if I was blessed to require and share the same love with someone...I would NEVER let it go, nor would I have regret a single thing in my life. It’s truly a pure, healthy (they were always honest with each other, but waited patientely whenever the other one wasn’t ready to say something yet), impossibly strong love that bounded them together, and they never stoped loving each other, just simply waited for years with only a single promise to grab tightly on. I can see that they sincere love each other to the point that they would sacrifice themselves for each other, that it broke my heart twice: Once when Yellow dragon had to let go of Dojin, because he couldn’t keep him by his side anymore. And the second time when the ending came to a final. It did hurt and it still do whenever I think about that heartbroking ending. That’s true love!! I really treasured the fact that Dojin did live a normal and happy life in his own world before he finally got to see Yellow Dragon, instead of a happy ending right away, because it really proved how much they love each other. To see them hug each other for the very first time in many years was too much for me, and I’m glad Myungjoo got the chance to confirm the truth.
The spirit animals? Okey so I’m not that great of an expert, bit I know quite a lot about them, so to be able to see them in human forms was enjoyable to the point that I squeeled whenever I saw them. They all fitted the features they were given, and it was so amazing to see them in action! My favorite was Ox, Pig, Rabbit, Blue Dragon, Rooster, Snake, Horse, White Tiger and Rat, (Woops, it was actual everyone that had a role in the plot, heh, I obviously love them all). They were just like Gods! So fair minded, kind, wise, caress, and had this really godly atmosphere! I’m thankful for their features and apperance!! Oh, and I didn’t forget Na-on, she protected Dojin until the very end, and I loved her for her protection instincts and how much she cared for Dojin. I hope she’s alright and is happy living by Dojins side!
Now, lets talk about the hotties we got here...Yellow Dragon? I swear, he took my breath away whenever I looked at him. He wasn’t just handsome, he was the pure definition of beautiful! It was like watching an everlasting flower that consumed all the prettiest things in the world! Not only the outside, the inside too! He cared so much for Dojin, was willing to do everything for him, and it came to this one moment when I asked myself: «Is it possible to be loved so much?» The answere is yes, Yellow Dragon is allowed and capable to love Dojin this much BECAUSE it’s Dojin. Dojin receives the love and gives back the same amount of it! I know Dojin didn’t get that many moments being a hero, but that one time when he hugged Yellow Dragon/Yooshin during the thunderstorm, or whenever he resured Yellow Dragon that he truly loved him...there’s no one who dares to tell me otherwise that Dojin don’t love Yellow Dragon as much as Yellow Dragon loves him. And Jayoung?....since Yellow Dragon is a busy case, please give me this handsome, exotic piece of a man. He’s so pretty! And loyal, cute, wise, thoughtful, trustworthy and kind! Heh, unfortunately, he’s obviously swinging the other way based on how he reacted after seeing our couples having a reaaally steamy scene together.
Even though I do support Yellow Dragons doing for the sake of love, I felt sadness for Seojong for losing his beloved Heejoo, and I do understand how he turned out that way. If the God of creation did restore everthing, I’m praying for her to bring back all the dead employers, the spirit animals and Heejoo! Oh, and that man from Dojins past...we didn’t get him as the main plottwist, but we luckely (because the author is really carefully when it comes to details) got to see their past, and the presence where this guy did let Dojin go, even though he commanded for their death....hm...I wonder what happened to him?
Hm...I wrote quite a lot, and if you’ve read so far, WOOOAH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This story is, and will always be one of my favorites! Their love amd story was so moving and touched every nerve of my heart. It made my smile, gasp, laugh and I even shed tears. I wish them all everlasting happiness!
