Edit: I read this every year. It never fails to make me bawl my eyes out.
**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** While it takes a little while to get into (it's somewhwat slow until Yunsu and Yujeong meet), once it gets going it takes a huge toll on your emotions-- in a good way.
The chapters about Yunsu were absolutely heartbreaking and it made me wish the ending was different. I don't think he should have died because he was clearly innocent, and seeing his past made you yearn for him to continue life.
Yujeong, I didn't really have too much pity for until we get deeper into her story and then the relateability factor increased tenfold.
The pacing was fine after they met, and the descriptions was amazing. The storytelling was what I could only have dreamed the book would be like.
I checked it out from my library, but I know I'm going to buy it as soon as I'm able to--whether in the original Korean or in English.
