My first BL webtoon. It has a special place in my heart. I love how the creator did everything to make the characters look so stunning. It's so aesthetic. All in all, the series will make you laugh a lot, feel adequate suspense and sorrow. The unbalanced relationship is a very popular trope in many demographics - I think it's pretty common in shoujo josei too (straight people's relationships), so this acts as a very important catalyst to develop the relationship between Ewon and Mookyul.
This was my second BL manhwa that I've read before reading Killing Stalking and onto the next one, Hold Me Tight. It's NOT ALL lovey dovey. I like how secure they are with themselves about their own carnality and sexuality lol. Of course, no story is really almost realistic without the sad back story. Typically seen in many Asian families (you kinda get used to it, so it's not a big deal anymore), the parents' expectations can be so high and truly impossible to satisfy.
If you're looking for a compelling story that has a strong plot & good subplots (the Yaoi is the subplot), read.

This Lezhin series has a very well developed mature storyline & characters - Well written! It's my first BL print collections and I think my fourth/fifth manhwa series that I've collected (I usually obsess over non-BL action fantasy genres like Black Clover, SNK, Noblesse, etc)
I'd say it's a beautiful psychological mature romance sort of like Your Lie in April/Honey & Clover series.
