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.
