Comment: It is one of my ultimate favorite manhwas. In all honesty, I was especially not interested in this manhwa at all. I saw a couple of parts of the manhwa in tiktok and I'm not sure if I viewed this whole manhwa differently just because I saw videos that barely caught anyone's attention or for some other reason. It's probably the latter one but whatever the reason is that lead me to this super incredible manhwa, I just want to say that the whole plot and the lead characters go so well with each other. I mean, this goes the same for every other manhwa out there but this one struck me more I guess...? I like that it first started with the male lead at a young age, so it really did feel heart-warming to see his growth and how much he changed. Once again, please check this manhwa out!
