I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The characters are both flawed, which makes them very sympathetic to the reader. They have both been burned before, and they are both hesitant to become involved with anyone else again. Bum-Moo, succumbing to the intimate living arrangements, can’t help but get swept up by his feelings. After fleeing from an unpleasant family situation, he has resigned himself to being alone and not being a burden to anyone else. He can’t fight his feelings for Yun-Ook, however, leaving himself open to her rejection when he tells her that he has a crush on her.
