I am liking the inverted power dynamic and how also their relationship as kids was not just a fated one-time childhood connection but an actual relationship.

Also I do hope Hwi fights her uncle and her annoying grandpa. It’s gonna be an uphill battle but I am here for it.

I kinda want to know what ended up happening with the cat Hyun was bringing to see Hwi.

Also it is sad seeing how nice Dami was and how she’s had to grow and change to survive. It’s extra nice seeing her try to resurrect some of her old heart. As a kid she helped Jiun find his heart and as adults he’s helping her, and that’s really cool.

Stone-faced bodyguard-possibly-assassin continues to intrigue me.
