The story is somewhat interesting, but nothing spectacular. Both characters' motivations for running are kind of flimsy—not because they're not good enough reasons to run, but because they don't feel fully fleshed out or realistic. The whole story feels somewhat underdeveloped despite its length.

While I really like some of the monologues and imageries used in the dialogues here, it's ultimately just another faux-deep manhwa that deals with heavy social issues like suicides and crimes but doesn't go quite far enough to truly become great. I like the characters but even they weren't properly developed, especially the black-haired guy. I was also quite let down by the anti-climatic ending that seems to undermine previous hardships both characters had to endure to get there. But this bad-ending trope is not new as far as K-drama in general is concerned, so at least I wasn't too surprised by it.

This was a really good manga but id say its a HUGE stretch saying that Stockholm syndrome and Lima syndrome applies to this. It was referenced once but only by bad guy and he was pretty psychotic. The characters liked each other but not because of a kidnapper-captive kind of situation.

Well now that I have said that, enjoy!

this have good characters. good plot. good progression. but everything seems to be just a little short of being 'great'. the characters not broken enough, not connecting enough. the plot dont flow smoothly enough, a bit short to show all their emotions. the story dont progress further and explored more the dynamic of the relationship nor the antagonist involvement. the ending is too sugary and happy go lucky after all they had been through.

but still, i cannot hate this manga, because i see the potential in it.

Well...this was a cute story. But I couldn´t help but feel that something was missing, the only reason I read furthur was because I wanted to get to the point where their feelings would be confirmed. But that never happend and it sorta left me hanging there waiting for something that would never come.
I´m not sure if I would call this a dark Shounen-ai, because it didn´t give me that feeling. It was more like... wannabe-dark. The authors tried to build up depth to it, but didn´t succed.

The Characters felt a bit too plain for my taste, they were pretty easy to forget wich I found a bit sad because the characters had huge potential. Also, the art was beautiful it really had me hooked with the ocean scenes.

I recommend this manga for people that like cute plots, for you who are thinking of reading this because of the "depth" or "dark" feeling, shouldn´t really get into this. Because you would get disappointed.

At first, I thought the photo backgrounds were lazy too, but as I read on I came to love it. It enhances the story rather than detracts from it, and it's probably not as easy as it seems, because the colors blend in with the character drawings well. The mangaka really knows what she's doing. As far as story goes, it's original and very touching. Wrapped up very well for me in the end. A must-read.

I LOVE this manhwa ALOT. One of my favorite shounen-ai stories EVER. It's extremely adorable and the characters are very beautiful. Definately for anyone who loves pretty boys (together) and angst. Usually those are the stories I HATE the most, but this story I just adored. The first chapter where the red head (forgot his name at the moment) is standing on the roof and the plastic bag flies in his face right as he's about to jump off the roof had me ROLLING for five minutes straight. Idk why but I just thought that was freaking hilarious! Anyway even though I see that some people dislike how the backgrounds are real photos just edited in, that was one thing I REALLY loved about the manhwa. It was pretty cool and different. But I think what stood out most for me was how gorgeous the characters were. The artwork for this story is just outstanding, one of the best I think. This is a must read for any shounen-ai lover!
Actually I just remembered that the brunette character of this story is my avatar. So as you can see, I'm not joking when I say I love this manhwa. The artwork is just so phenomenal.

I really liked the story....seeing the art (not backgrounds/photography) in colour was pretty....I couldn't stand the photographed in backgrounds and scenes....I don't know it just didn't seem to work well in any of the scenes except the ocean...that was really pretty

I'm not talking about being in a gang, being on the run, anything action-y like that. I'm talking about Han Soo-bum. His feelings are real. It's what I loved about this story. The feelings can be related to, even though it's not a "reality" manga. The art is beautiful. The story is wonderful concerning the emotions. I wish it was more developed though, between the two. It had the potential, but still amazing in the end. <3

I dunno, some people seems to complain about the fact that the artist used real images in place of backgrounds...but I actually think that's much harder to do...I mean now she had to set her characters around the background and for me at least it's harder to work backwards, I'm not saying she's like that but we can't condemn her for her lack of actual drawings, since even manipulating the images and doing all the coloring takes time and patience for it to look good....and she does a good job w/ it....
As for the story, I found it entertaining....the shonen-ai vibe was very minimal, but it was there and actually I'm glad that it wasn't more pronounced, not because I am against it, but because it made the story all the better....the slow buildup, I can believe that more than the ones where they are jumping into bed the moment they meet and start to say "I love you"
There was enough substance to keep me entertained, even if it might seem to be hidden....
