this was one of my first BLs n its absolutely goated to this day. this masterpiece is always at the back of my mind and haunts me beautifully. the art is utterly scrumptious + im a sucker for both the main n side couple. such a comfort story of mine!! so sweet, so soft
this is way too peak!! i adore our contrasting protags, their romantic adventures despite that, their dynamics, the story and comedy, literally all of the above. its just that gooddddd
later edit but ive learnt this author has made ishimondo doujinshi way back when... I RECOGNIZED THE ART STYLE SO QUICK! NO WONDER THIS IS PEAK
adored how crazy they both r. tbh 1 of the 1st thriller BLs where idgaf abt the sex, lowk skimmed over it cuz the suspense had me like "save ur servant/master shit for AFTER" + i loved all the characters (even seongchan ig.) n their interactions w/ the MCs but also each other LIKE I NEED MORE OF THE SIDE COUPLE! MORE DAD JOKES, HIS MOMENT IN CH51 W/ BADA WAS SO FUCKING SWEET! rereading knowing everything would be like playing my own tape! 5/5!
