The art on this series is a 10 out of 10. The story…was a 3 out of 10. It actually makes how disappointing the series was more frustrating.
There was potential to do so much with this story. In my opinion the end of the main story was…pointless. It seemed at the beginning of this series like we were going to get more of a story than just smut for smut sake but that’s what this kind of ended up being. If this was gonna be the case I would have preferred for the author to make it explicit from the beginning and just added more smut to the series and less pretending to be a story.
I wouldn’t call this a happy ending story as the main couple shouldn’t really be together…they both have healing journeys they should be going on…
The side characters were kind of fleshed out and then at the very end were just never brought up again… It remains to be seen if there is some polishing attempted in the side stories but with the ending going the way I did I don’t have high hopes.
Don’t approach this story with high expectations take it for pretty smut when it happens and a pretend storyline with great artwork when that happens.
UPDATED REVIEW (my original review is above 👆)
I just finished reading the 9th and final epilogue for this story and I have to say that’s where it all came together for me. I stuck with it until the end because the art style really is beautiful so I figured at this point if I had read the entire story. I had nothing to lose by reading the epilogue, and I’m happy that I did.
Spoilers ahead 👉 the epilogue focused on the beginning of the healing journey for the main couple. I thought that it was great that they showed things from the perspective of Chunwoo. I also really liked that none of the characters were pretending to be perfect and they acknowledge where they were at, and that they were trying to grow together.
As far as the final ending, I thought epilogue 8 and 9, the final conversation between Taesoo and Chunwoo regarding their relationship is really what polished the story for me. The final scene where Taesoo starts crying reminded me a little of “back to school - side stories “ the last scene where Jihyun is being driven away and crying.
