This exceptional work is finally being translated, thanks to the translator-nim. Rating: 5/5; it exemplifies the "ideal Korean romance" to perfection. Initially, the characters' motivations might seem unclear, but they have a purpose, and it becomes evident later on. With only 72 main chapters (excluding side stories), I won't express personal bias in my review, as it was thrilling and immersive to read. The novel heavily relies on perspective, making each reader's experience subjective. So, approach with moderate expectations, as the story may differ from your own interpretation.
What I can confidently say is the author's remarkable prose. When reading, I felt fully immersed in the world, as if witnessing the story unfold before my eyes, even though it's fictional. Back then, eagerly awaiting each chapter was torturous, but upon completion, the satisfaction, despite its open-ended nature, was pure.
As for the music aspect, the lyrics, although based on K-pop, are authentically written, showcasing a deep understanding of romantic symbolism. Prepare yourself for a rich tapestry of emotions – love, sorrow, the bittersweet of loss, and the enigmatic beauty of their connection. Stick with it until the end, and you won't be disappointed,呵~ ?
