i really, reaaaaally enjoyed this one. i put it off thinking it was gonna be another omegaverse story where the characters just give in to instinct and all. yes i'm aware the mc is a beta but it's the fact that his ml is an alpha that made me reluctant. but Juhyeok and Sihyeon immediately broke all expectations i had and they're now one of my favorite couples. Juhyeok is funny and somewhat relatable and don't get me started on the ml! Sihyeon is as green as he comes. the second couple tho................. honestly i wasn't too keen on reading their story. i wasn't even expecting their story to be in the side stories. the repeated infidelity from the alpha was too much even though theirs is but an arranged marriage. it still disgusts me. i'm glad Mr. Lee divorced him and i'm actually glad their story ended the way it did. i don't want to see a continuation where they get back together even though there's the assumption that they might coz of Mr. Lee saying he's a patient man and that the alpha is trying to change. and there's the fact that they're expecting a kid. you know how some stories insinuate that the presence of a kid changes the flow of the "couple" towards endgame? i hate it for them but there's actually a story to be developed there as well if that's anyone's kind of tea. not this time for me. anyway, i wish the other characters also had their own stories in the side chapters
i just love the way they communicate, how they acknowledge that they've had issues with their respective second genders in the past and that while they still do carry scars of those issues, they've certainly developed into stronger individuals compared to their past selves. through them i can say that stories don't end with just marriage. even as a married couple there are still trials that they go through which makes me wish that other certain mangas didn't end at just the characters ending up together or getting married
oh so that explains why the raws i saw a while back hasn't been updating since last year. i was lowkey worried it's been dropped or something. i just hope the author is doing okay now. like everyone else i don't like hiatuses either but i'd rather the authors put their health and well-being first coz that's how we'll get more of the story later on. plus it sucks when your body's ill and all and i would not wish that for anyone. just having that sort of mindset helps me with "waiting"
somehow amidst this new horny chapter i was getting flashback of a scene with Taeju and one of his dads. Taeju was coaxing his dad saying that he loves him and whatnot but his dad says "i don't need your love, i need a grandchild!"(or was it grandchildren?).. i can't wait to see his dads again when it gets confirmed that Eihyun is carrying said grandchild
and here i was just thinking if there was a manga where the couple is already established coz i am bored of slow burns and never ending hate to love tropes. what luck to come across this manga! and the beautiful art is a plus. i can't wait to read more. oh and anyone know of other manga or manhwa where the couple is already established? i couldn't think of anything else but tadaima, okaeri

if it seems like i was waiting for someone to ask this … yes I was
haha i knew it was kind of a stretch when i included manhwa in my request since tropes are usually what makes manhwas go on and on for so long and like, an established relationship wouldn't have that many plotlines except when someone tries to insert themselves in the relationship. but thanks for these two titles! i'll check them out..
anyone have any idea how'd the first episode of the anime do? like with reviews and stuff? i'm scared to look i love this manga and the characters way too much to go into reviews criticizing the premise of the story
The first Episode is absolutely adorable... You should go and watch... Hi kun in all of his cuteness
So fluffy... Go and watch, worth it !
Too adorable. Hi-kun is so cute with his voice aww.
it did pretty good, on crunchyroll it already has 5k+ ratings with the average being 4.5/5 :)
id say it’s normal for it to have some criticism because of the genre but overall I believe it reached the right audience.
