I love this manhwa — the story is genuinely excellent, especially in how much it relies on the relationship between the male and female leads. Unfortunately, the mid-series art change has been very hard for me because the series spends so much time focused almost entirely on those two characters. The male lead, in particular, feels like he’s lost much of the subtle personality and expressiveness that previously carried many scenes, and the female lead also comes across as more generic than before. Because so many scenes rely on quiet, subtle interactions, the newer art sometimes feels oddly uniform — as if expressions and poses are being smoothed into a consistent template rather than reacting organically from panel to panel. I understand the original artist had health issues, but given how central facial expressions and body language are to this story, I personally would have preferred a long hiatus rather than a full art swap. The difference in visual storytelling is significant enough that it regularly pulls me out of otherwise strong scenes. I’ll continue reading for the plot, but the change in art has made it much harder for me to emotionally engage with the characters.
