I'm giving this a four out five because the one thing I wished that was fixed through out the whole story was that Kyujin respected Chiwoos boundaries better. I felt he often asked Kyujin stop doing things the way he wanted and then he would insistently do the opposite again and again. It kind of worked me over at some point...thus it becoming a bit endearing at the end since he held no malice for Chiwoo. But this would have been seriously triggering to Chiwoo who literally had his ex-best friend do the same damn thing which later lead to his physical and sexual assault. Like please ladies and gents, respect a persons first no and if they say give me time. Give them time! They will come around, I promise: Patience is a virtue.
JiHyun...well he's a son of bitch and he truly takes after their father. I'm the type of person that holds people with trauma to a certain criteria because as much I understand the having abusive parents can be horrible and obviously trauma inducing and JiHyun deserved better (AND THERAPY!), he absolutely gets even less respect from me because of what he did to his ONLY best friend. He knew he was putting Chiwoo into a box like a damn toy and it hurt to see how much he manipulated the way he kept dancing around his actions. He never tried to be a better man, he never tried to just leave Chiwoo alone. You SA your best friend...you don't get to try again. You don't get to tell him when to forgive you. Like even his goodbye was annoying..."I'll be waiting for the day you forgive me." Dude! You are so lucky that young boy didn't tell you to drop dead. Hell if I was Chiwoo's mom, I would've slapped the hell out of him at the hospital for once again putting my child in harms way. He does not deserve better in my eyes and the only better he could get is just living quietly and humbly until maybe someone will picks him off the ground (maybe because no one else deserves to live with the mess).
