this was super imaginative and such a great concept, but it felt very lacking in the end. "Healing fiction" has become a very popular genre these days, particularly in Korea, so I was hoping for something more along those lines, with more heartfelt lessons to be learned alongside all the fantastical elements. instead, it was a lot more simple than I was expecting. not necessarily a bad thing, just not what I'd hoped for.
