My Thoughts on Baby, Don’t Cry
"Baby, Don't Cry" is definitely a rollercoaster of emotions, a deep dive into complex characters grappling with past traumas and messy relationships. It's a story that sticks with you, even if the journey isn't always smooth sailing. The novel is a blend of adult themes, intense romance, and enough drama to keep you hooked.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a long-term, somewhat strained relationship between the main characters. The tags, especially "cold love interests" and "obsessive love," hinted at a compelling dynamic, and I was eager to see how the author would navigate these themes. I quickly realized this was not a light read, but a story layered with emotional baggage and internal conflict.
What Works Well
The strength of "Baby, Don't Cry" lies in its characters. The author has crafted a male lead, Kwon-joo, who is incredibly complex and compelling. His tsundere-like tendencies, rooted in childhood trauma and a fear of vulnerability, make him a character you want to root for, even when he's pushing people away. The other male lead is equally intriguing; he's calm, composed, and deeply devoted to Kwon-joo, even mirroring Kwon-joo's actions in the relationship. It's clear that he's head-over-heels for Kwon-joo and willing to go to great lengths to make the relationship work. The novel does a good job of showing how much each character cares for the other.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that I found potentially challenging was the narrative structure. The story employs frequent POV switches, jumping between the main characters, their friends, and even minor characters. While this approach aims to provide a comprehensive view of the story, it can be a bit disorienting, especially in translation.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Baby, Don't Cry" is a worthwhile read for those who enjoy character-driven stories with heavy doses of drama and romance. Be prepared for a potentially bumpy reading experience due to the narrative structure, but the depth of the characters and the emotional intensity of the plot make it a memorable journey.
