I happened to catch a glimpse of this manhwa's live adaptation trailer as I was scrolling on a social media platform. Thought it was interesting and found out that it is based upon a manhwa so I proceeded to read this. How I wish I knew about this sooner. It is a short manhwa with 27 chapters so one can read it in one sitting. I did enjoy the story and it resonated with me in my life rn as it talked about themes such as childhood dreams, societal expectations, and adulthood. It evokes a melancholic atmosphere and with only less than 30 chapters, it manages to deliver a compelling and profound narrative. The story ends with an open ending, leaving the readers to interpret what can possibly happen next. Even so, reading this was worthwhile. Definitely a gem, highly recommend it!
