Okay, wow

I didn't think it was gonna be such an emotional rollercoaster reading this. Heejae initially seemed like the typical frivolous rich dude making mistakes left and right.. but that ended up being a huge misunderstanding. Also, I still can't get over how evil his brother was! Everything that happened to Heejae, including what Taekyung did, was so infuriating. I'm not sure how I feel about the way it ended though.. I know he just wanted to be accepted for who he was as is, but when comparing his personality as a child to present day there is such a big gap. As the story progressed, he became increasingly helpless and dependent on those around him. I wish those personality issues had been better resolved, and instead of being moved around like a chess piece by literally everyone, he would've stood up for himself at some point. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. Heejae and Taekyung's feelings for each other were portrayed in such a natural/beautiful way.

more than initially thought

I think it's pretty clear that the MC's amnesia is used as a plot device but it had so much more meaning as the story progresses. I like how the story plays out around the pairing and the supporting characters were also fitting and likeable. I just wished we could have seen more about the development of the MC, there was definitely potential for more or at least an epilogue.

Unexpectedly Deep

When I started this, I wasn't expecting it to be so deep so I was really surprised to see the turn this took. I welcomed all the deepness of it and loved it. I think this is the second best work of the author after "Payback."

It starts with stalking and a bit of weirdness, and has the potential for more episodes. Brother thing and secretary.

It starts with a funny vibe but the story is actually unexpectedly angsty
The plot is also deeper than I thought it would be
I really enjoyed this read, I love this author
