This was just pure straight good vibes.

I didn’t connect with the characters but I still liked them. I didn’t love the romance but it made sense. I didn’t completely agree with how things ended, but the ending was everything I needed from the story as a whole. 

The sibling dynamics were solid, the family ones were complicated but still heartfelt and meaningful and the romance between Nami and Jae just worked so well for them as a couple. It was cute as heck even though I didn’t wish it for it myself.

Not sure why this is rated so lowly because this definitely has an audience and I hope it finds it.
