If you want to read this, PLEASE DOOO!!!!! Its an underrated gem, i swear to god. You will absolutely fall in love with each and every character! I don't really enjoy Guideverse that much, usually because of the common overtly possessiveness, Guides who 'own' the esper—or vise versa— and the usual lack of empathy but this was a completely GAME CHANGER!! The characters have their bad past and their flaws but that just makes them so human.
I absolutely love this and i definetky will recommend this. You'll feel happy, distressed, angry, sad, happy all at once. Its a great store and the art is so visually stunning!
• Plot: 7/10
A pretty common plot in guideverse, Esper gets forced into a guide blah fucking blah. But they really executed this well!! I feel like i was emmeresed (is that the spelling? I dunno, English aint my first language) and its sooo funny!! only 7 because i've seen this plot so many times.
• Characters: 9/0
I love the characters, they've been made sooo well. They have their pros and their cons and a dark past, but it just shows proof that good things will alwys come, even if its just a fleeting moment.
• Communication: 7/10
Sure they communicate, but its not like they sit down and have a full conversation about their struggles and problems. They slowly uncover their struggle and since SE (Seo Eunsong) doesn't want LTJ (Lee TaeJun) to distance himself from him because he wants to help him. So it could be better. But still, already there aren't much miscommunication—that's a win in my book :)
• Art: 8/10
Beautiful, visually this is absouletly the most beautiful thing I've ever read!! (Im exaggerating) I would say its on par with my favorite arts of am time, like ghosts nocturne, Blossoms of the white night, Define the relationship and Eighteens bed. But its only in my top 10 not my precious top 3.
• Smut: 10/10
Three words, Absolutely fucking hot!!! They are so sexually compatiable and if you like hot, steamy smut then you'll def love this. AND THERE IS CONSENT LETS FCKIN GOOO.
• Future as a couple: 9/10
I can see them together in the future but obviously with small fights here and there, that's why i gave it only 9. But we can all agree they will still the red she they see ecahother even 20 years from now!
My total rating: 50/60!!! Totally read it!! i reccomend

Extra note, (SPOILERS AHEAD )
I absolutely love how they help each other, be vulnerable. I don't know if I'm speaking from rose-tinted glasses because I relate to Seo Euonsung (i think thats how its spelled, lets just call him SE) A lot!! i used to be so suicidal, my escape for everything was just 'I'm just gonna kill myself anyways so..' But he changed, he started loving life—much like i did. So i love that representation
This was my first bl manhwa ive ever read!!! Its pretty old, around 2019/2020. I dont remember anything at all. Im pretty sure the ml crossdressed and was really famous in his crossdressed form (like and actress or model or smthg) And Mc fell in love the the crossdressed version of that guy and then later fell in love w the actually guy. He finds out about the crossdressing thing eventually.Im pretty sure mc had brownish hair and Ml had very very dark blue hair (almost black)
And there was this one episode where like the niece of either the ML or MC came to the workplace (Im pretty sure its MC's niece) and called ML's crossdressed form pretty or smthg. Its shonen ai—i think?? PLS HELP ME FIND IT, IM SO DESPERATE IM NOT EVEN JKING T^T
not really sure but maybe this?

I read this one!!!! But no, sadly its not it. At this point i think it didn't even exist bruvv
i once read this story, i dont remember whether its manga/manhwa/manhua. But I remember the fmc was like a siren princess thing with pink hair and she was getting abused or smthg(?) By her family and the mmc saves her i think. And mmc's family really likes her and treats her well. And im pretty sure fmc's name is Aria or something. Pls help me find this!! I USED TO BE OBSSESED WITH IT T^T
