 I love this series to bits, and this volume is no different. I really appreciate how much weight is given to Seoha's grief, how sometimes it can feel like he's ready to move on, and other times it can come flooding back without warning and cause him to take five steps back to where he was before. Of course, Ji-eum is the best as always, giving him the space he needs while also seriously weighing what is the right course of action regarding her wants versus how it will affect Seoha. The storyline between Cho-won and Do-yun is also quite interesting and I wonder if his conviction to stay in the background and refuse to embrace what he wants in fear of the criticism it might bring, not just to him but also to those around him.
