So this is about some guy who's all depressed but is secretly a genius and lives with some girl who takes care of him and loves him. Then he meets this other girl who's angry all the time but is actually insecure on the inside. Throw in some "i knew you when i was a kid" and what do you get? Generic romance manga. But this has a twist, the characters are older and there's a bit of a fairy tale thing going on.
The story progresses really quickly, especially at the end where the ending felt very rushed. In general i found the pacing to
...
be kind of off and jumping between events which adds to the feeling of it being rushed.
The obvious themes of this is dealing with the loss of a loved one, but the characters aren't developed enough for you to care. Something happens and all i thought was "oh okay... what's next?" I rarely cared about the characters, and never felt the tension when something bad happens. Most of this can be traced back to the fact everything is rushed.
So overall, pretty generic. It tried to deal with some interesting things but doesn't succeed in sending it's message across very well. I'm not sure who i would recommend this to. Someone who really loves manhwas? Someone who really doesn't know what to read next? It's not bad but there's so much better stuff out there.
