I like both yaoi and shoujo/josei. (Hands up if you do too. I'm starting to think I'm the only one.)
But the lack of personality that most shoujo MCs have is annoying. Like, they don't put up a fight at all and they're all pretty much the same. I liked Kyou, Koi Wo Hajimemasu because the MC had a lot of character.
I'm looking for a shoujo/ josei manga or manhwa with a lot of drama and angsty relationships. My favourite yaoi manga is Koisuru Boukun and I really enjoyed watching the anime adaptation of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. So something similar to those but with a straight couple.
My all time fav though it might not be what you're looking for:

(holy shit that rhyme is lame)
Even the positive ones. That's not easy for everyone, you know . It's awkward and embarrassing. Give poor Mugyeong a break.
The only thing I don't agree with is him answering that guy's calls all the time, especially when text messages are a thing. He's being dumb about that to be fair. But Yohan is way too possessive/clingy. After seven years he should know what his boyfriend's personality is like and shouldn't expect him to change himself just to suit his own needs.
I do agree Yohan was doing too much, but at the same time, when you’re in a relationship you have to learn to compromise. Feeling embarrassed or awkward over showing your love to your partner is not an excuse to simply not do it. It’s also kinda fucked up to say you’re embarrassed over smth like that when your partner shows you affection all the time. After 7 years of being together, it’s going to get to you, even if it’s subconscious. He even asked him to not hug him so his cologne doesn’t rub off on him I wouldn’t react like Yohan, but I would def be upset and anxious too
omg thank you. I love them way too much to see any fault in either of them at this point lmfao they were my first manhwa. I just can’t
It's not f***ed up to feel awkward or embarrassed by physical or verbal affection at all, or to struggle with showing your feelings. That's just how some people are and there's nothing wrong with that.
Mugyeong's hasn't been very expressive from the start so Yohan shouldn't expect him to suddenly change his whole personality just because he's in a relationship. That's not loving a person as they truly are. That's loving your idea of them.
If he wanted someone expressive, he shouldn't have chased Mugyeong and become his boyfriend in the first place with those kinds of expectations.
You're welcome
if we talked in irl relationship, I do get what yohan felt, he's anxious, his partner is not too different from before and after the relationship, heust need to be secured by little affectionate here and there, it's not like he asked for 24/7, at the same time mugyeong should noticed his partner too, that's a relationship, if you did say that yohan shouldn't catch him, it's not going to go up either, as partner we shouldn't be too clingy but at the same time, we had to pay attention too to our partner, from what I see it's yohan the one that worked hard on that, that's why I guess yohan is the real one here, had it been not yohan, mogyeong might hard to find a stable partner if he's like that, who wanted a partner that indifferent to you imo (≧∀≦)
Yea sorry I meant more so it’s messed up to not show effort in that department after 7 years of your partner constantly showing that to you
Your spouse 100% should be accepting you for who you are, but everyone has flaws and I would say that despite it not being a major problem, being non-affectionate after years of being in a relationship is a flaw for someone like Yohan who clearly needs reassurance in some aspect, just like most ppl would in that position. Most ppl wouldn’t react like Yohan ofc, but either way, it’s normal to go out of your way in some manner for the person you love
For example, someone I know is an introvert and he’s dating a major extrovert, but because he loves her, he goes out of his way to hang out w her and her friends despite him not wanting to. And in return, she decides to stay in w him at other points. It’s balanced like any relationship should be. This one isn’t as balanced. One is affectionate and the other is the complete opposite, not being able to say the words “I love you” out loud confidently. That’s bound to hurt the feelings of your partner when it happens time and time again over the span of years. And Mugyeong’s also been asking him to not leave anything on him that may make ppl assume he’s in a relationship which is another blow to Yohan
I do wanna make it clear that I’m actually rlly bothered by the way Yohan’s acting and would’ve broken up w him a long ass time ago if I was Mugyeong; being that jealous unnecessarily constantly is actually disturbing and I’ve seen plenty relationships end because of similar reasons. I just wanted to expand on why I think Mugyeong was also fucking up their relationship too
