어둠 속에서 헤엄치기

The story weaves both personal and political struggles seamlessly. I'm curious how the author approached giving equal weight to both elements.

The conclusion felt both hopeful and bittersweet, but I was left wondering about the characters' futures. Was that intentional or a result of the story's scope?

The backdrop adds so much depth, but I wonder what drew the author to this specific time and place for a gay love story.
