This took me by surprise. I wish this could have gone on a little bit, I wanted to see more of his deeds and how they chased the greed, see it bounce from one person to the other, it would have been fun. Well I guess cutting Sang Il Choi's road to presidency was the ultimate prowess. 

I am not much of a philosopher but if we extend this story, it would be to reflect on how we ordinary people would handle and tame our own greed, to make this world a better place and bring peace around us. It can start here. This community is as large and displays as much variety as the world is wide, connecting people from all horizons, from all places, young and old. We don't have to do big. It's like the ripples on the water surface. One drop would only spread as far, but imagine 144000 drops, what it would be like. All the waves would spread and rebound on one another to spread farther, then bounce back with augmented strength. We could lean on other people's strength, and they would ride on our own strength. This is how power is built, by making the ones around us strong, and not by trampling on them.

I love their combo !!! It was worth going back to the past just to witness this. This is what I call fan service
The artist's talent and technicality is insane !

@Khadija Mubshara HMPH it was like taking your dog for a stroll. I am looking forward to the day he will comprehend that for their relationship to be beneficial to him he has to really warm up towards MC and sincerely cherish him, just like the shaman told him. But this is not in his capability to conceive yet.

Dear fellow readers, don't tell me you didn't see this coming. The uneasyness was there all along, each one tiptoeing around the other, deliberately avoiding the dangerous topic. So now I hope there will be real communication and the question will be adressed squarely

[This is the continuation of the above comment]

You will appreciate the very attractive characters and how till the very end they are clad in mystery and you keep wondering about them as the truth slowly unfolds. You cannot deem them good or bad, each one having his own agenda and circumstances that justifies the intentions and actions. That's what kept me curious and wanting to delve deeper, until curtain fall which was a real shock. 

The ending was meant to bring some relief but for me it was a little out of place considering how everything before was so gloomy, and at the same time I was afraid it would end in a triple suicide. Fortunately it did not.

I did rate this story 5 stars because I think it's really one of a kind but rather than rating it, it is one of these stories that is completely open to debate and discussion among readers. 

In the end and in my modest opinion, the reflection that underlines this whole story is the following question : is revenge really yours to carry, does clinging to it leads you more to self destruction than salvation/atonement or fulfilment and makes you lose the perspective of life ? Can you really live with the sole prospect of revenge ? How far can you shoulder the responsibility ?

@blackcatofmisery He got kicked by his father on this spot besides being slapped, remember ? That made him kneel down. You can go back to this chapter and see for yourself. Crazy father, I'm telling you. It should be illegal to have a parent mistreat their offspring this bad at this time and age. When are we, nineteenth century ? Anyway how I Ioved and admired Seo-An during this confrontation, his heart is so unwavering, set like a compass, his resolve so firm. He has finally made his peace and can now walk his own path with confidence. I guess the therapy paid off.

Jeongwon is a sweetheart. 💖 (A little brat towards Seoan, but he does look like a bit of a brute.) ...
At last they unravel the father's issue; talk about the dashcam ! I've been waiting for this. I like the symmetry between each other's situation concerning their respective fathers. That makes me wonder : I'm sorry but... just how does Korean society works ??
Please take good care of your health Author-nim-ssi (was about to write -Sama but violently reminded myself you are Korean - my apologies). You have great talent, I enjoyed the read a great deal and will wait patiently for the next season. Thank you for sharing all these behind the scenes aspects, really appreciated reading it. A bientôt !

Philosophically-wise, the whole story was the most perfect representation of the Yin-Yang dynamic circle, how the concept of opposing forces was brought up between the two. I am convinced representing Ido in a black gown and Sejin in a white gown at the end was not some random choice made by the artist. Being in the same house they would have logically worn similar gowns. The very last panel really symbolised the Perfect Balance and Universal Harmony of Yin and Yang. If you re-read the story with this symbolism in mind, you may view things in a completely different way, and would reflect on yourself as to how to bring the harmony of the Universe within your own heart. The world needs peace. And to bring peace, the people have to achieve harmony within themselves.

It is really the end. I came back from BATO and it was clearly labeled. It's been a few chapters that I felt we would soon reach the conclusion. Reaching the end of a book always leaves me with a sense of nostalgia because it's like saying farewell to a dear friend. 

I liked this story very very much. Indeed the middle part about Life 1 was hard to read but it was necessary to comprehend the course of events in the first part, and link things together. The tone, the pacing, the character building, the intelligent and meaningful interactions between the two main characters was so realistic and relatable that one would almost forget the story was set in Omegaverse. The really remarkable feature that Omegaverse brought to the story was the bonding. And then there was Regression that was made worthwhile thanks to the bonding. Many readers cursed the bonding, but without this occurence, there would have been no Life 2, and even less New Sejin. Indeed, Papa Eagle Ido did a wonderful job because Sejin ended up spreading his wings beautifully. I think many would question the analogy but I couldn't help coming up with the reference throughout my reading. Will explain the eagle thing another time for those who do not know. Eagles are really amazing birds, aside from having outstanding form.

@BINGGE. Oh, thank you I didn't notice. Since most panels are not functioning on Bato I was intending to wait a little before reading, that's probably why I missed it.

I love the employees, they are so precious. Back when he was General Manager, Sejin was also much appreciated by the staff. This is really his personality, he hasn't changed a bit. 
I do not recall the "dans la lune" thing, I guess I should go back to the related chapter. Why would he bring up this quote now ? And if I may, the most accurate translation for it would be "moon gazing" or "moon gaping". Closest equivalent in English would be daydreaming. The expression applies not only when you're distracted but also when lost in your thoughts, whenever you've been losing focus or spaceing out for a while, long or short. It may be punctual, but also a constant state. "Il est toujours dans la lune" means he is disconnected from reality, never is down to earth, never pays attention to his surroundings. This from someone living in France since I was 3

@desperate 4607 He had already changed when he called off their engagement. He had a really hard time processing the return of his lost memories because it was such a traumatism. His reaction in the current chapter caught me totally off guard as to how it did not match the extent of Ido's dedication. I had a little argument with another reader on another platform, and this person was really angry at Sejin because he kept dragging things on unnecessarily. Was it hesitation? Was it actual numbness? Anyway the argument was about me expecting Ido to be a mind reader which was absolutely not the case. Turns out this chapter revealed Sejin wanted Ido to read his mind ! I don't know if I did interpret well but it was my impression of the flow of things. Still I am so glad with how the events turned out, I was so scared that we'd be back to the old misunderstanding again. Ido's expression of complete surprise was like a weight was suddenly lifted off. So many things were going on behind this expression. My first thought was "Papa eagle Ido did a really good job" (will explain someday). I really enjoyed reading the next chapter. Both characters are really great and the shift of energy from one to the other was really well done

This story is so hard to follow. And reading all the revelations about blood ties makes it even more messy. Taeha may have breathed fire and ice, he may have been ruthless and cruel to Hawon, you can still guess that his feelings are genuine and that he cares a lot, whereas I can hardly feel anything from Hawon's part. If anything, he is still very uncomfortable around Taeha, if not scared by him. Not that I blame him, though.

@desperate 4607 True enough. At some point I even wondered whether Sejin was capable of showing and giving love. He craved so much for love he looked like an empty vase. And he has such a peculiar way to tell what he wants. In short, what he wants is for Ido to tell him what he (Sejin) wants to hear! Furthermore, what's with all this speech about what Ido should have said and done? I won't judge but it was unexpected and out of place. You can see the contrast between both approaches. Ido's approach was entirely centered on Sejin, whereas Sejin's is centered on himself. Meaning, Sejin is not ready to give and still has a long way to go. Maybe I am wrong but the way he brushed off Ido's suffering like some child's tantrum demonstrates a total lack of warmth and empathy. Such disregard is shocking towards the man who gave him so much and gifted him with something really priceless. I truly expect further progress and that Sejin will realise and aknowledge the lengths Ido went to for him.

This is the most painful separation arc I've read so far because the protagonists love each other so much and shouldn't have to resort to it. The chapters felt so emotional and the reading was really heart wrenching. Let's hope something will come up, and that Dojin will not return to the past. Now that the main criminal has been caught and dealt with, shouldn't they be safe? The story reminds me of the drama "King" with Lee Min Ho, when he traveled through the multiple dimensional gates to find his girlfriend and bride-to-be after the evil uncle shattered the gate that connected directly their dimensions. The sequence was beautiful.
