I honestly don't understand why this shallow webtoon is rated so highly. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Personally, I don't see the character depth everyone talks about. Most of the development revolves around bringing Seoho back, and many of the emotional conflicts keep repeating themselves. The premise was interesting, but I never felt much chemistry between the characters. The romantic scenes were great, but beyond that, the story didn't offer much for me. That's why it feels shallow to me.
The emotional conflicts repeat because of the main themes revolve around the loss, betrayal and the meaning of life and neither of characters have still found answers they are looking for. But the conflict changes every time they face it, slowly Bihwan had to accept Minchan as his own person and find out that bringing Seoho back can lead to Minchan disappearing. At first he was hoping for that so him actually falling in love (which has been shown in such emotional ways without actually saying it!!!) is breaking his heart but he is a strong person and able to make a decision to do everything for Minchan even at the loss of Seoho. Minchan is not trusting of Bihwan- rightfully so- but he is trying to trust him and as he was finally starting to accept his feelings for Bihwan—- season ends. Minchan struggles a lot with feeling imcomplete and meaningless and he is scared of bonds and love but he is starting to change because Bihwan points out in their conflicts that there is other ways of living and thinking. They both have grown a lot and their emotions are shown in such a depth in both dialogue and art, and storytelling. These are just some points about changes in characters, but it is true that not everyone can understand every art form and not everything resonates and that is okay!
i feel like theres no point trying to explain things to them when they cant see character depth in a story that arguably has one of the most interesting mc we’ve seen from BL in awhile. minchan is very well written especially in comparison to majority of bl bottoms who get walked all over by their partner AND the author lol
“Season 3 was so messed up. Seriously, does the phrase ‘last time’ mean every single time to them? And why is everyone crying in every corner like a bunch of babies?
To begin with, it wasn't even that huge of a fate-changing situation. Yeah, he ruined the bottom's life, I get that. But now you love him, right? Then accept it and move on instead of wandering around in circles only to end up running back to him every time like you're glued together.”
Am I the only one who finds this story kind of plain? As excited as I was to let it marinate and read it all in one go, I ended up feeling disappointed. I don’t know — maybe I was expecting something more unique, something on the level of Their Beauty, How unfortunate. ╥﹏╥ :( :( :(
I was hoping for a lil extra chapter of them being happy and them telling their families who they’re with. I still love the story but I agree it is lackluster. This is exactly how I felt with the ending of Part Time Partner (highly recommend, but the ending is similar to this one in the way that it leaves you wanting more) It has about 80 chapters. And it’s also enemies to lovers and then they became friends. Whereas Nerd Project went from enemies to friends to lovers lmao











I've realized I don't mind slow-burn stories as long as they're this funny.(≧∀≦)
