Same boat. At times I felt like I wouldn't be able to finish the series with all the pain, but the series left me emotional. It's such a twisted love story, but what did it for me was the overbearing feeling of loneliness that drove them on their paths. It doesn't justify anything that was done, but I really enjoyed and suffered watching this painful story.
I get you! Having read the prequel (well more so skipped to the end cuz it was painful to read at some point) I already knew this was not going to be a happy go lucky story. But it being so twisted and dark is what intrigued me!
It was what made the story painful but also interesting. Which is why the ending shocked me.. as I expected a bad ending cuz that would fit pretty well.
But obviously this still doesn’t justify Wookyoung’s actions.
I just felt so bad for Minho throughout this whole thing and noticed that maybe almost everything could’ve been avoided if it wasn’t for Doona. Cuz then Wookyoung could’ve approached him way earlier (maybe without all that r*pe stuff that happened in the prequel) and Minho wouldn’t have been broken by Doona. But oh well (￣ε(#￣)Σ
I came to read this knowing what it kinda contained(I didn't I found this off of youtube shorts with the comments saying "people who know don't know vs people who do" yada yada yada and I'm honestly so shocked. I feel so sad for him. but the story is so good. UGHHH I'M GONNA CRY it wasn't boring, it had emotions, grief, and hope. Words can't even describe what this story is.
