Found another book that reminds me of the Purple Hyacinth webtoon :D

Also, DO NOT read the spoilers if you haven't read the book. You will regret it.

I could relate to Hyeon of giving up her former dreams, somewhat. I'm a former piano and violinist. However, I found out I didn't want to be either of those things. It can be difficult, dealing with the nostalgia and the "Should I have done that?" in your head. But give it time, and if the negative feelings go away after a while, and you meet with your former dream again without a strong desire to go back to it again, you did the right thing.

I stilll feel bad for Physician Khun. He seemed so heartbroken over Lady Ahnbi's death ☚ī¸

Also, I THOUGHT Eojin was going to die HOLY COW I was feeling sad 😆


I SPED THROUGH THIS BOOK SO FAST
