Writing this after reading ch. 60 (end of season 1)*Contains some mild spoilers about the vibe but no explicit plot-point spoilers.*
This. Is. Excellent.
The story took maybe 10 chapters for me to get fully invested in, and I was ready to scream at my screen and drop it at a point where I thought it was going to take a My Suha-type turn. Those first dozen chapters or so had some sussy moments as their relationship was forming, but they were resolved as the story got going.
The final arc of the season absolutely pulled me in. It's turned into one of the most wholesome stories I've read since getting into BL. The final 20 chapters or so completely shows the importance of communication, honesty, and family. All of the characters are well done and many of them demonstrate a lot of development over the first season. There are definitely some tropes, but I think the story utilizes tropes to advance a much deeper narrative. The art is sometimes a little wonky with facial expressions, but there are some truly beautiful illustrations here between Dongun and Sujin (I'm more into the story than the smut... but the smut is well done too...).
Season 1 ends on a beautiful note. Can't wait for season 2!
