Lmaoo why's the marking just like... cutie marks???
The amount of times I yelled "everyone leave them alone!!!! Please!!!" Like goddamn everyone was all up in their business for no good reason!!!
This had a LOT of plot holes and wild ass pacing. I loved a lot of aspects and was disappointed by others.
But oh my god I cried when the dragon showed up in his dreams and he realized it was their first baby oh my god. That was so devastating and beautiful!!!
The characters names did get very confusing to the point I gave up trying to figure out who they were talking about. Especially bc their past lives the side characters had different names and relationships to them i think???? The cousin/brother and secretary/brother especially confused me AND they had the same damn hair color which made it even more confusing. Three central characters with the same hair color and theyre not related and two of them are in love :") this was a total mess of a story but I loved the art and the heart. Im a sucker for soul mates and reincarnation second chances.
Ahh seriously though... it was all over the place. I can't even say I got whiplash I kinda just got a headache lmao
Very cute and fun. And then upsetting. And then very sweet and cute. I'm exhausted
OH YEAH!
Something that ticked me off was that they would just not explain things that caused conflict and then move on like it was resolved.
Like he never explained that he wasnt the one who fired his dad but he forgave it and moved on???
Or the shit with the cousin??? We're just gonna gloss over that???
And there are many other examples lmao like can we PLEASE acknowledge the established plots instead of charging full speed ahead???
I just remembered the person showing up right after Jaemoon left and that was SO scary. Like I read some horror yesterday and that single frame was more effective at freaking me out. Just the thought that they had been there that entire time waiting???? How tf did they get in??? And they moved so immediately </3 it was so fuckin spooky
I have so many feelings rn... I will eat some food and probably have better stuff to say, but for now...
Well first off, I did NOT expect a love triangle. I read this a long time ago when it was first starting and decided to let it sit, so I had no idea that that developed. I haven't been this torn by a love triangle since Light On Me because I knew no matter who he chose, I'd feel bad for the other person. The choice he made was obvious and I do think ultimately the better choice for him.
But seriously, Jiho was pissing me off so bad. He reminds me so much of Lily Bart from House of Mirth, because he swears he's out to win and succeed and then any time he's given the opportunity to do so he self sabotages.
It was very frustrating. But he was funny and cute and he apologized well by the end so I guess its fine... a good apology does a lot to resolve things for me. Also my intense irritation was probably intensified by my not eating anything...
Idk why I chose to read about a cooking show and then not move for 7 hours and go hungry </3 and I call Jiho self destructive lmaoo
Producer Lee </3 he's so relatable it made me cry a little. He's always exhausted, has dark circles, regrets letting his youth slip by (I'm doing that preemptively) and he finally fell in love after a really long time only to be played and then rejected. Like shit...
I loved him tho he's so silly but also lovely (except for that one scene that felt icky) and I'm a sucker for someone who uses the strategy of underdressing so when he actually dresses up it leaves a bigger impact lmaoo I've done the same thing
Anyways I'm gonna go eat and then finish the side stories and hopefully I'll be a little less miserable and can give more opinions on this than sad ones lmao
Okay I ate food and finished the side stories.
So....
I'm still honestly irritated with Jiho. I'm usually a defender of main characters, but its when their motivations are clear and well written.
Actually. I just think Jiho and Woohyuk are incredibly immature and the fact that the side stories still had them arguing was just :/ idk, I might enjoy this more on a day where I feel better, but it didn't really do its job of cheering me up.
I liked the side characters more than the main characters honestly.
Loved Gwanyong or wtvr the idols name was he was SO iconic. When he was taking selfies and genuinely did not gaf about mcs being gay. When he stepped on them. But then he's still a good friend and shows up to support Jiho <3 his group he debuted in took me out why did they name it that wayyyy but also I'm glad he was successful that's my diva.
Also the ghosty lady (sorry queen I forget your name) was so fun. I love spooky looking sweethearts. One of my favorite tropes, she's so cute.
And Producer Lee was delightful. I was surprised how far they actually let the love triangle go! Not often seen, and honestly a little risky especially having Jiho have some lingering what-ifs instead of being 100% confident in his decision was kinda crazy.
But pd deserves better than Jiho.
But also! Jiho felt way more put together in his interactions with him??? Like he could actually talk things out and i think that's probably just bc Jonghan is more mature than either of the mcs (understandably, he's older) so he can keep the conversation from derailing. I'm excited to read his manhwa i hope it does right by this character :"")
Anyways this made me feel insane and my rambling about it is so disjointed that I feel ashamed as an English major. Maybe I'll go read a real book to recover from this...
I can't tell what's behind them in the cover picture but i just can't see anything other than lards from adventure time

This was sooooo cute. They're both TERRIBLE at communicating and jump to conclusions or withhold vital aspects, but they love each other so much that it overcomes that every time. It's very sweet, because as mismatched as they are and as many misunderstandings as they have, they both want to try. It's very sweet, and I love the introspection they both have where they realize they did something that hurt their favorite person so they try to fix it.
Very sweet, I love flawed characters who are trying their best to overcome that. And I love the jealousy in this. Its a very healthy jealousy, not controlling and not immediately angry, but also not holding it all in. They might be bad at communicating but they always try and they get it right in the end, and that's what counts <3
There's a lot more organized crime than I remember Emily Brontë writing
They're so HOT! I love the art and I love that they're both big and I love a power bottom <3
Hyo-in is a little stupid/whiny for my taste. Like... I can get behind cute whining but half the time I was like why tf is he threatening to break up with the man he's wanted for YEARS??? I did not understand him in those moments but at least Yegeon likes it lmaoo
But nothing I love more than mutually horned up and down bad couples like yes... be obsessed with each other... love them mwah I want moore
My cutie patooties I love them sm <3 I love how slutty Angel is and I love how much Josh loves him for knowing he's sexy <3 any slut shaming will not be tolerated and I won't listen to Angel slander ty ty <3
Seriously tho I love mutually down bad partners. And the fact that all their sex scenes are both of them enjoying it and making each other feel good <3 this is just a feel good story for me and any conflict is mitigated quickly so I never get frustrated. It's a breezy re-read especially.
Also pretty privilege is incredibly real bc as soon as Angel smiles so radiantly I'd give him the world <3 and don't even get me started on when he cried agh. He's so pretty :((((
And love Josh, he's so default settings <3
I just love when rule abiding stickler workaholics start doing things they would never have expected themselves to do bc they meet someone so sexy and unlike their normal type hehehe
Genuinely suuuchh a good read even the second time
i teared up at his reaction to her pregnancy announcement theyre soooo sweet and gorgeous :"")
I swear i remember her having curled hair and a blue dress somewhere in the epilogue but ig I'm crazy???
Anyways, love this love them they're both so lovely and I love their friends
I keep comparing this to the remaster </3 glad its preserved here even if it is missing the original music and animation :")
Love and respect the creators version but change of my favorite media is hard for me to swallow :"")
I have many feelings but I'll try to cope
Anyways, I'm excited to reread this it's one of my favorites and even tho I'm sad to not be able to read it in its original form I'm glad to at least get some of the original
Nooooook I read it all on the scan teams website but I didnt realize that season 2 never happened??? Does anyone know why??? Its been since 2024 :"( this was sooo cute and I was so excited to see more
