At the beginning I even got hooked, then I kept reading just to know the ending. I don't like it. it took me not a whole day to read all the chapters and I regret a bit because the story was not ultimately that interesting

Seongji's character didn't get my sympathy and I found her written quite flat. Despite some of the behavior I think Seju is the best character with the worst drawn story but at the same time the most interesting. I have no intention of writing about Sumin. I was disappointed in the way she was ... written.

Also art in this manhwa is really nice.

As a lesbian, I really really appreciate the depth the author applied to the characters. I really loved the art and the realistic sex (no fucking scissoring or stereotypes) I also really liked how all the characters kind of had a story, even the antagonist. I read it in about two weeks and once I started I just couldn't stop. The story can be a bit soft at times, as it centers around continuous mistakes you wish they'd learn from, but at the same time, it was really enjoyable. The sex scenes were good and I loved the romantic moments between the two characters.

I went into this story with some high expectations after having been recommended this story as a mature story about relationships. I’m not sure I can agree with that assessment. If anything, the story is dominated by sexual scenes that does not add that much to the story and I find the development of the characters to be somewhat lacking.

The core of the story is about the relationship between Seong Sumin and Baek Seju. Their past and breakup dominates the story, and we are bombarded with, lewd, flashback scenes about their past.

So, whether or not you will enjoy the story comes down to ... how you feel about their relationship. I wasn’t so engaged in their story and got sick of the constant flashbacks about their relationship. I get that they both can’t let get of the trauma, but after 10 years you would think they would seek some psychological help. If you get engaged in their relationship, you will probably enjoy this story more then I did.

I think due to the story being dominated so much by Seong Sumin and Baek Seju, the relationship between Seong Sumin and Ju Seongj is a bit underdeveloped. Ju Seongj comes off as a pushover and I would really like to have seen more about her, and her relationship with Seong Sumin. The story is after all also about how Seong Sumin and Ju Seongj end up together.

For instance, Seong Sumin does very little to earn her relationship with Ju Seongj and fracks up repeatedly with very little consequence. I think for a comic that market itself as mature it would dedicate a bit more time to develop these pretty major events, but they pass by relatively quickly with little consequence. But the author sure found time to add some more lewd flashbacks.

This is speculation of course. But I wonder if the author at some point changed the direction of the story, and the plan was originally that Seong Sumin and Baek Seju was going to get back together. That would explain some of the misgivings I have about the story at least. As I think the story was perfectly fine, but I just thought the execution was less than stellar, and the focus should have been more on the present, and less about the past.

But all in all, the story is interesting enough, but I wish they would have spent more time on developing the story and characters and less on sex scenes.
