I finished this collection in overall two days or so online. The story revolves around the relationship between two people. How they fell in love felt rushed and occurred quickly. I didn't actually believe how they could possibly love each other when a good portion of it felt like friendly banter. But despite the cliches, the story kept me interested enough to keep reading.
The ending frankly bothered me to no end. It was hinted from the start that Dong Jin would die at the end but the fact that the author waited until the last chapter to reveal that fact bothered me deeply. I feel as if it was a good end to the book but at the same time, I am unsatisfied with it.
The fact that the main character suddenly left the her love interest and went abroad felt very force and out of the blue. It's understandable that she is upset that her friend has died and left her without telling the truth but it seemed out of place.
On top of that, the panel where she finds out about his death in the first place she is wearing a school uniform. Did she really leave in the midst of her school year and transfer to Germany? Going to another school is tough enough but a whole new country where it's more than likely that they don't speak your language is awful. The main character speaks Korean, she moved to Germany. Germany speaks German. To my knowledge, most Korean schools don't offer German as a language as they would with English and basic grammar in their native language.
Other than these plot holes, I found the artwork and story line to be enjoyable.
