Like Vol. 1, I thoroughly enjoyed volume 2. It picks up where volume 1 left off. I loved the elements of the original story that were kept with the sister unaliving Pued. But also appreciated the subplot of Bun being outed by someone in his past. The introduction of Bun’s brother is also a nice twist on the story as I know. The golden child older brother with whom the younger brother is compared to. But without envy, Boon is protective and playful with Bun, whether Bun likes it or not. In the manga, it was much clearer that Bun and Tan had feelings for each other than the drama (which is one of my favorites). And this book definitely doesn’t shy away from the spice. Once again, I recommend this and the tv drama!
