The BL curse?

Lotus Soup June 5, 2026 9:59 pm

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I feel like this manhwa fell into the typical BL curse of the overly aggressive fridge body top and the small needy, whiny bottom.
Honestly, in the beginning it was so much more interesting. Both characters came from completely different backgrounds and had very different ideals, so watching those mentalities clash was chefs kiss. I genuinely thought the story was gonna have a great character development arc for the bottom. I expected him to become a brilliant lawyer, like independent and less naive actually experience problems and having to fix them by himself. He was so driven, capable and clever and the author should've challanged more his idealistic mindset , but also learn from the top how to be more cunning and resourceful like building him up to protect himself and represent his siter in court.
Instead, it feels like the author infantilized him and turned him into the stereotype. Why is he still working at the company when he barely seems to work? Did he actually handle a proper case? The only thing he does is crying ,whining , and begging for sex.
This might be a very unpopular opinion but I prefer the older art style.
While the current art is technically more polished, the previous style had a lot more personality, likenit was more stylish. I loved the long figures with long lwgs , also the clothes were so much better, and overall proportions looked mote natural.The top and bottom looked like two adults with relatively similar more normal manhwa builds which was refreshing, instead of the typical BL fridge body muscular guy and one tiny, childlike one. To me, that's a downgrade.
Their dynamic was also much better it had so much chemistry. It wasn't awkward at all , they clashed so much as people but physically so attracted to one another.
Like the sexual tension actually was hitting hard made so much more sense especially how complicated the situation was. I think that necktie kiss had so much more impact than the every 2 chapters sex scene. Overall the top was so attractive with that prick ,slightly OCD persona and his very dirty imagination!
I have no explanation why the author decided to take this route and continue it , its just the same old bl fiasco , nothing original. I've noticed a lot of manhwas with the same problem is it the BL curse? Tell me what you think ?
