storyline: set in the 80s, lee sungho is a pharmacy straight A student who lives under his father’s pressure to be the best in everything he does. he gets frequent headaches that seem to only go away when he gets involved with shim dukgwang, a poster artist for a movie theater that also acts as an undercover meeting spot for gay men, away from the their homophobic society’s eyes
reaction: damn this had layers!!! it could’ve been a 5 star story for me (the time skip really added an extra depth to the angst here) but the side story was a bit too questionable for my morals, so 4 stars it is!
The character is idk 7/10 but the most i feel uncompleted is the murderer case and the uke father still forcing him to get married.i hope i can read more chapter about it,then maybe I would feel the ending was completed not like this hanging.
Hated MC, hated his father and the goddamn psycho who gets off scot-free at the end.BUT top was great, and theatre fam absolutely 10/10 would like to be adopted pls
Seongho, who is under extreme stress because of his conservative father, suffers from chronic headaches. To get rid of the headache somehow, he takes the whole pill and accidentally kisses a man. And feel like that severe headache is fading away... Is it because of the drug? Or because of the kiss?
Good god.. IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM IM CRYING. I love them so much UGH im crying it’s over. but FUCK. 8 years????? God damn.. fuck.. 8???? Idk bro. I still love it tho. It’ll take me forever to reread as I recover from my heartbreak that it’s over.
It’s crazy bc I picked this up like 2 years ago but dropped it after seeing there wasn’t a lightsaber at first, then picked it up on a whim today before class, skipping class to read it, then rethinking my choices bc seungho dating someone else which made me think abt another comic (I forgot the name I think pd something (it’s abt a gym)) which royally pissed me off. But I put it into the perspective of another comic (raising a bat) and decided to stick it through. AND HOLY SHIT AM I GLAD BC I LOVE THIS STORY AND THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH. (obv except the antagonists) I miss it :’(
5 stars for duk-gwang and duk-gwang only. No wait the theater crew too!!!!
Duk-Gwang is so cute and hot and sweet and dear lord. When I saw him in the beginning I was in love. S2 he just became yummier and then s3 he was GLOWING
The issue of these migraines that are cured by (love) is a little silly. The murder and exam conflicts were a little overboard as well but not terrible. I can’t believe they created a character named Kim Joon and gave him dimples and then made him the antagonist…bts Kim namjoon we love you
The main character… sungho is gorgeous but man I couldn’t stand him 97% of the time. I know the pushover naive nerdy people pleasing type is common and I’ve read many of those types of characters but I always somehow liked them. Sungho, not so much. He really was selfish and couldn’t make one decision for himself. His only high point was resolving the murder conflict. Even at the end when they get back together, it’s not because of sungho. So annoying
Overall still very good. Felt long for 65 chapters. Sex scenes were very *fans self*
(Don’t let the first uncensored scene fool you, it’s lightsabers forever after that)
This was soo good. From start to finish, the development of their relationship and the intersectionality of the time period this was based in and the evident problems in that period were beautifully represented. I love both characters and especially the seme and how caring he is, he was there for the uke in thick and thin. Highly fuck the uke's dad tho, lil bitchass I hope he die lonely.
Duk-Gwang is the best thing that could happen to this manhwa, the art is spectacular, the story is alright, it has an interesting message and shows, unfortunately, how some people have to live even nowadays
