This was actually my first webtoon, and it did not disappoint. The art is gorgeous, but I also really enjoyed the story. There's something so compelling about Cirrus and Skylar as main characters. It's pretty dark, overall—both of them have a lot of baggage, and it's clear, especially at the beginning, that they're not good for each other. But as they both grow, their relationship grows with them.

I wasn't sure I'd be able to root for the romance considering it starts with blackmail. When taken at face value, Cirrus's actions are those of a jerk. But the author does a great job at taking you deeper into the why behind the what, and even though it takes a while, all the strange behavior ends up making perfect sense. I found myself deeply sympathizing with both Skylar and Cirrus. There were moments where I feared they wouldn't make it out of the dark places they found themselves in, but I'm happy to say that this ends in a good way. I'm glad the author took the time and extra chapters to flesh out/change the original ending.
