-Did I enjoy it: Kinda
-Pros: Decent Noir-style crime drama
-Cons: Love triangle, horrible character development, by the 70th chapter the story loses steam. Weak ending.
-Score: 4/10
-Extra notes: Doyak ends her story in the worst way possible: picking who the MC ends up with. Any manner of development this story tried to established is butchered for the sake of the dreaded love-triangle bullshit. Waste of time, glad I dropped at ch 80.
-Did I enjoy it: Hell fkin nah
-Pros: Great art, Mingwa clearly inproved from last work.
-Cons: Sadly, her writing got worse, what the actual fk was this...

-Extra notes: Officially worse than BJ Alex, which says a lot cuz BJ Alex is not good. No redemption arc, no character development or confrontation from Kim Dan about abuse, some fkass sht about them both hurting each other?? Mingwa, don't ever cook again unless it's a Potato manhwa.
-Did I enjoy it: Kinda

-Score: 6/10

-Pros: Cute couple, a chubby character who doesn't become thin by the end

-Did I enjoy it: Kinda
-Pros: Very well-done psychological story
-Cons: Not really a BL, also therapist-patient dynamic didn't need to be so weird.
-Score: 7/10
-Extra notes: Think this would have done better as just a psychological story rather than a fetish manga.
-Did I enjoy it: No
-Pros: Non-abusive BDSM
-Cons: MC is very weak-willed and not into BDSM, also monologues way too much. Angsty

-Did I enjoy it: Yes!
