Description/Foreword/Summary :

Junhee is just there on vacation. She didn't expect to meet Jongdae, the whimsical photographer who takes pictures of all the things he found beautiful.

Opinion about the story :

Definitely, a well-written story, in my opinion. I love how the author describes the story, how descriptive it is. It makes me drawn to the story. The details are not too much or overboard, it doesn't lack it either. Her wording is beautiful. It’s not complicated and easy to imagine. I really like the description of each scene in this story. It's almost like the author wants to make the readers imagine what happens in the story with details she wants to convey but with readers' own imagination. That's my opinion regarding how descriptive this story is.

The plot of the story is simple, but with how the author writes her story, it makes the story special. The flow and pace of the story are good. Not too fast or too slow. I really like how calming the story is for me. How the story goes is so heartwarming and soothing. I love it.

For the characters, I love how playful Jongdae is. I also love how Jongdae finds beauty in everything even simple things. For Junhee, I like how she views her surrounding. It's just beautiful when I read what she sees in her point of view. I like other characters as well (even the minor ones) and what their roles are in the story (even though it's not important).

For character development, I can't say much. I just think that Junhee can learn from Jongdae how to sees the beauty in simple things. And not to be too hard on herself, especially regarding her drawing. To take it easy.

I love their interaction with each other. The development of their relationship is good. I really like the process of how they become close to each other. I also like their interaction with others. It just seems natural. Slow, but steady.

Overall, I love the story. I love how the author tries to show the readers rather than tell the story. It's a worth-reading simple story, in my opinion.

Note from me :

I love this story because I like how calming it is.

It's like reading a fantasy story even if there's nothing fantasy in this story. Hahaha. Also, it's rare to see a story with Jongdae as the main character. So, even if you don't really like Jongdae or if he's not your bias, at least give it a try to read this story. I don't think you'll regret it. I think you'll love it like me. So, give it a try especially if you love fluff and sweet story!
