Without spoiling too much, the title is perfect. It’s not a sad book but it has sadness, a reality if you will that creeps in. There is some time jumping, one panel showing a different time and the immediate next one jumping forward, but that aside a good book. A long graphic book at that which I appreciate

A pair of artists move to a rural mountain home and overcome various struggles. Very enjoyable, interesting, charming. Also a little upsetting at times — it's not all bucolic happiness. Nice mix of very detailed, rendered art, and more impressionistic surreal sequences. Some of those sequences, dealing with the author's struggling to deal with the pressures on him, didn't quite land for me, but overall it was very effective. Recommended, though be prepared it gets a little dark at times.

Every creator has the dark moment the male protagonist had. The point is how to get out. The switch thing is great.

I don't know if I've ever read a Korean comic before. This one is weird.
There's a lot of "We ate this, we went here, we did this chore, we did this task." It's like reading someone's diary, basically, someone boring.
I used to keep a day-by-day-diary, but I always stopped because I would reread the old entries and they were SO BORING. Because I think they were nice things at the time or whatever, but I want a laugh, Pete, a joke or something.

I stopped reading MY OWN DIARY because it wasn't entertaining enough. That's a harsh motherfucker right there.
