author is really trying to humanize finance bros huh lol. still i find it hard to believe that a well known firm like Andy's former one, where they occupy ~20 floors of a building in Manhattan, would accept a high school drop out as an intern because those firms are hella obsessed with prestige (unless Jio is someone's son? ah, nepotism ~ another business world's favorite). but hey that's just one among many unrealistic details in this story and it isn't that big of a deal anyway because this is yaoi not real life lol. i just hope this time they will actually use lube while having sex...
jio works in the IT dept tho. IT always prioritize skill after all
yeah that's how things in the tech world looks but not the business/finance sector
the thing is, jio works on tech section in Andrew's prev company. it's not like the company looking at his background education, bc I believe he's just a contract worker there. and as we agree upon, tech prioritize skill after all
i absolutely think that they do check educational background judging by my experience with intern recruiting on campus. jio was there as an intern, not a temp i think.
i feel like the author does know a thing or two about the finance world and silicon valley, but i'm not sure if their knowledge is very surface level or if they purposefully dumb down many details in this story because lbr a lot of the people reading this have not even graduated high school let alone going to college/actually having a job lol. i mean there are several small parts here that irk me to hell (the anal sex without lube... the oversimplication and idealized version of a startup... the silly portrayal of substance usage... etc) but overall it's a promising webtoon and yay for an asian top in an interracial relationship haha
ALSO! big thanks to the translator! you've been doing a great job!
aww glad eunbyul has his own happy ending. honestly i enjoyed his arc the most
i mean chapter 2 or whatever the story that starts from chapter 2 is off to a good start. also a shoutout to adderall lol this is my first time seeing it being mentioned in a webtoon lol. tho i dont think people in general would display their bottle of 'scripted med in an open display like that but hey this is a yaoi not real life lol
lol joshua is giving sakusa kiyoomi x harvey spector... lowkey think it'd be hotter if the relationship was between him and that other lawyer haha
i said this before in another manga by the same author but i just love love love how the author draws the character's blushing face
sundayjorge/Jiyeon has this really tender/soft style of story telling that's really *chief kiss* and it has been an ongoing theme in all of her work. Even in Momentum where there was tragedy and angst, she still managed to incorporate her own tenderness through and through. I hope she continues to do so with this, and so far she does not disappoint!
also idk if Jiyeon was behind the romanization for the characters' names but 백산 (Baek San - literally "white mountain") being romanized as Bexan and 아인 (Ah-In) as Ein was quite brilliant. also Leto's former name Diesel could be a nod to Jiyeon's love for motorsports. Momentum had an arc about racing/racers and Jiyeon herself is a fan of Jules Bianchi (google him and read that arc in Momentum and you'd have an "oh!" moment)
love stories that incorporate folklore elements in a modern setting like this one and Fate Makes No Mistake! and yeah both stories have "Deokkebi" in their name!
it's Chaepali (author/writer) again... their stories usually have angst with various degree and a very distinct longing/melancholic feel to them. sometimes i like their work, sometimes i don't so let's see how this story is going to turn out. so far it did got me teared up over several details within it...
