Description
My dream was you, Na HaYeon. Model HaYeon has been in a relationship with actor Taewan for a long time. The love that started at the tender age of eighteen is about to end at twenty-nine. “Let’s break up now, Taewan. Let’s stop.” “Why do you want to break up? Are you telling me the love is gone?” “No, the love isn’t gone.” The love had never gone away for a moment. From the moment he walked over with the springtime as his backdrop, it had always been there. “I still love you.” “Then why?” Taewan shouted out as if he couldn’t understand. “I don’t have the confidence to love you tomorrow.” “……” “That’s the reason.” Me, the one who tells you it’s the end even though I said it wasn’t. You, the one who knows it’s the end but can’t end it. This love that only gives us more wounds as we stay together… Will we be able to protect it?

My Thoughts on The Reason We Broke up
The Reason We Broke up promised a poignant exploration of love and loss, and after reading it, I can say it largely delivered. It's a short but emotionally resonant story that delves into the complexities of a long-term relationship facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.
First Impressions
From the outset, I was drawn in by the premise. The idea of dissecting a breakup, understanding the "why" behind it, felt incredibly compelling. The tags – "angst," "drama," and "lovers reunited" – hinted at a rollercoaster of emotions, and I was ready to dive in.
What Works Well
What truly shines in this novel is its realistic portrayal of a relationship slowly unraveling. The author masterfully depicts the emotional distance that grows between Na HaYeon and Kang Taewan as Taewan's career takes off. I appreciated how neither character is demonized; they're both flawed individuals making choices that ultimately hurt each other, despite their deep love.
The flashbacks to their earlier years are particularly effective, painting a vivid picture of their initial connection and highlighting the gradual shift in their dynamic. I found myself invested in their journey, sympathizing with HaYeon's quiet desperation and understanding Taewan's drive to provide. The novel doesn't shy away from the messy, unspoken aspects of relationships, making it feel remarkably authentic.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story overall, the smut scenes felt somewhat jarring at times. They disrupted the narrative flow and didn't always contribute meaningfully to the plot. I feel the story could have held its own without it.

Final Verdict
The Reason We Broke up is a beautifully written, emotionally charged story that explores the nuances of love, sacrifice, and miscommunication. It's a quick read, but one that will stay with you long after you finish it. If you're looking for a realistic and relatable romance with a touch of angst, I highly recommend giving this novel a try. I give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.
