/sobs/ I love tHEM SO MUCH 😭😭😭
The character dynamics in this manhwa is *chef kiss*
AND THE PACING, OH MY GOD THE PACING....Where I feel the dialogue lacks, the characters, their relationships, and how they progress with each other make up for it tenfold!
An example of this would be how I genuinely felt and admired a strong mother-child/sibling care between these two initially, I was shocked to find myself considering Jeremy as someone who could be a very good match romance-wise for Shuri.
This was a hard pill to swallow. While I’m not exactly against step-parent and step-children romances in fiction, there was a clear platonic relationship already established, and Nora was a fiiiiine man so I was excited to ship them.
But something clicked ever since the Jeremy trial arc, and I also feel like that could have been where some sort of affection also started to bud for Jeremy himself in this timeline. No spoilers but if you’re interested in finding out how tastefully the author was able to shift the dynamics (I swear, it didn’t feel forced. Every implication, every subtle gesture, every hinted phrase, all helped build the atmosphere for this)
I know many people don’t ship these two, and it’s come as a shock for me to ship them over Nora, but biiig props to the author for spinning this wonderful tale!!!! Give it a read please 🙏
