"It was easier to breathe in a place where human life was light as a feather" has to be one of the single, most heart-breaking lines I've ever read. Kudos to the author.
You heard me
I just finished reading this and omg, you are so damn right (⊙…⊙ )
The storytelling in this is crazy good. Haruki's character kind of embodies the long, dark, stormy winter. You feel it in the beginning, this sort of muted sadness and loneliness, never so pervasive that it drowns everything out, but just permanently there like mountains of snow that don't melt in the winter. You can see Haruki thawing with the snow, and it's just really beautiful how well this author managed to weave that character development in with the changing of the season. The atmosphere is just amazing
Why was his driver's license fake??? I don't understand what it means, did I miss something?????
I also don't understand it very well. But I think it also has to do with fake identity just like how the uke presented his self. Maybe because President Seo doesn't trust him at first that's why he showed him a fake ID. That's just what I think, though it was not explained as to why but this may be one of the possibilities... idk(⊙…⊙ )
You might be right. It would have been nice for the story to have been more clear tho :/ Oh well!
You quite literally missed the part where he was presume “dead” thats why he had a fake one
When does it say that President Seo was presumed dead?
They were talking about the omega… not him…
President Seo also showed the omega a fake driver's license, and tells him the driver's license he showed him was fake at some point in the story. At the end he's not talking about the omega's fake license, he's talking about his own, but never explains why he showed him/had a fake one
Anyone else notice that long-haired Hee-Yeon kinda looks like Howl?
Also I can't tell if I like this story. I feel like it's got a lot going for it, I really like the plot and the characters and everything about it. And it's also got this edge of weirdness that I really like. But I just feel like all of those elements are a little bit poorly executed, like it's missing something to properly tie the whole thing together to really make it work. Maybe it's the lack of tension, I don't know. But there's definitely something missing.
Yeah! That's the first thing I noticed when I saw Hee-Yeon's long hair
I feel like the majority of this story is about Jungsoo and Yoonseol. They're not really the "side couple". It's more like everything past season 1 was a sequel of season 1.
And also I want a spin off where Jun gets a happy ending.
Yeah a side story for Jun would be nice! It was nice they didn't make him out to be crazy/horrible, the little note of him accepting he's a brother was cute
He coulda just kept the flash drive. Framing his friend for stealing it was so unnecessary... Sarang never even suspected him for a second
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I would love a spin-off about the brother? I'm a sucker for drama and fucked up characters. That being said, this story was so fluffy, but that ending was so dark....
But honestly this is probably the most realistic depiction of love I've ever seen in manga.
People don't move on quickly, or cleanly. Not always, not when they really loved someone. Having feelings for someone lingers, forever in some form. You can still love that person, long for them, miss them, and still not want to be with them anymore. Those feelings don't just disappear even if you want them too. What you want and how you feel aren't always on the same page. And even when you're over it, even when you know there's nothing left with that person, there are still feelings in some shape or form, and those will never disappear.
That is life. This is what love is, in most cases. It isn't grand, it isn't dramatic, it's not the be-all and end-all and it's not fate written in the stars like we wished it would be. It is much simpler than that, because emotions are complex. Feelings come and fade and change, and young people navigate them very poorly at times, but that's how they learn to be better people and to love better.
This story is about young people navigating genuine heart break and new love for the very first time, and how that process is messy and imperfect.
I know this is not why we came here. We came here to read about a fantasy of undying devotion and my-one-and-only love. This story is more human than that. Simply human.
