This manhwa is the most emotionally charged one I have ever read. Similar to "Taming the Tiger," it features two timelines: the past and the present, along with the tragedies within that are truly worth crying over. I love the pacing of the story, the plot, and the heartfelt quotes exchanged between the male leads. My heart aches for both Hyoun and Taehyuk and what they endured, especially Hyoun. His younger self is my weakness, and his beautifully broken eyes convey so much grief and pain. Every character received what they deserved in the end, although I do feel sympathy for Taehyuk's older brother; he ... seems to have a rough time based on my observations.

I SO loved this story! The dynamic between the characters at the beginning is what I love most! The dragon's personality ended up "changing" after he regained his memory, and I didn't really like that—the Golden Retriever personality type. I don't usually like that kind of personality.

I felt sorry for Uke not forgiving his brother in his new life. To me, he had already made amends for what happened in the past; he could at least see him twice a year. I was sad.

Anyway, the couple is very cute, and there are wonderful scenes about reaffirming their feelings for each other. I wish there had ... been a side story between the two, and more jealousy scenes.

well.. I finished it because I had already put in a couple hours of reading when they finally revealed the whole backstory so far in, but the whole ml being a father figure to the dragon and literally raising him in his past life is so uncomfortable. the dragon was an abused and mistreated child when they met, and ml was an adult. people like to use the fact that hyo-un is a dragon as an excuse, but it’s not because so many times do they mention that he was a young dragon.. the ml even remarked about how he raised him and how he ... viewed him as a child, calling him child up until he died in his past life. how he taught him how to kiss. doesn’t matter if he grew up before they got together, they still lived together that entire time. gross.

still, it’s bad enough but it doesn’t even end there. the author constantly brung it up in ways where it’s worse. there was such a weird shift in their relationship after the both of them recovered their memories, and that made it feel gross to read. to start with, hyo-un changed personalities and became immature and childish when it was unlike how he was in the seasons beforehand. i had to skip so many chapters including smut ones because it felt just that uncomfy.. especially because he starting calling the ml “sir” after the whole memory return thing. sorta wish i listened to the bad reviews instead of trusting the ones that glazed this series. it was promising at first until they made it weird. i personally would not recommend this to anymore
