I enjoyed the story, but found it too shallow compared with the potential it had.
I'm actually kind of really disappointed that no one really had a character arc. In a whole season.
Geumhwa was a passive character letting things happen to him for like 90% of the story. That's generally a big no-no in fiction. Main characters are supposed to be active participants in the story. Seung Jae and Minwook would have both made better MCs solely from a storytelling perspective.
The author also left out a lot of details that could have really enriched the plot. If it's a story about tattoos (like it says in the epilogue) then give us more details about Seung Jae's original tattoo, about the meaning of the artwork of his new one, etc. The story just felt so shallow in comparison to the depth it hinted at, and I'm mad we didn't get it.
All ranting aside tho, I did still enjoy it and I'm just mad because it was pretty good and had potential to be amazing.

In the end Geumhwa just went back to his old lover and his old suicidal ways. Like srsly wtf??? That's fine if there's another season for him to grow and become a stronger person, but it just ended there??? I'm actually so mad lol.
I had expected that after he got back to Korea his experience with Seung Jae would have led him to finally value himself a little more and move forward with more strength of character. Instead he just got back with Minwook and then he allowed Seung Jae to "save" him instead of him growing a pair and saving his own damn self by becoming an independent person.

I mean, Geumhwa didn't even have any initiative or part in reuniting with Seung Jae, it was Minwook and Seung Jae (or redhead) who made it happen! Ugh I'm so mad lol.

when Guemhwa has sex with the yakuza guy right after his ex raped him?!? just no...no...noooo....
I don't mind rape as part of BL, I'm really not even that picky about how realistic it is a lot of the time...but... seriously? there's a limit
