The webtoon adaptation features artwork by Spoon.

Despite concerns from many readers about a potentially sad ending due to its dark romance genre, Kim Suji's characteristic delicate emotional portrayal led to a happy conclusion. Thalia and Barcas overcome numerous misunderstandings and wounds, confirming their true feelings and embarking on a new life together in a narrative of mutual salvation. The reunion scene in the field is particularly highlighted as a memorable moment that encapsulates the title's meaning, and with the webtoon adaptation, readers are revisiting the novel to relive its emotional depth.
