This wasn't the perfect manga ngl, I stuck through for the setting and art, but I'm super glad I did. This is... surprisingly well-written

I like that the misunderstanding stems from a failure in communication but the ml still knows the mc well enough to understand that he loves the ml, the issue was more their insecurities. The first few chapters were frustrating because I couldn't understand why the ml was somehow both great at understanding the mc yet misunderstood the mc's intentions for getting a job but it clicked after reading the last chapter from the male lead's pov. The issue was a combo between the mc's inability to communicate and the ml's insecurity so he couldn't see that the mc's was thinking more in a "self-determination" way with his manga instead of a "how to save up money to skedaddle" kind of way. The mc is good at expressing emotions nonverbally, so the ml knows that he's loved but there are some things that need to be communicated verbally such as intentions and actions.

Actually what got my heart the most was the way the author constantly showed us why the ml feels so loved, and it's right under our noses until the last chapter. We see the mc's pages filled with sketches of him, we see him take care of the ml's needs, and we see how the ml appreciates all of these things.

The mc is honestly a more unreliable narrator than I thought was possible for manga because we see what he's doing but ngl he fools us into thinking he's not that great too until that last chapter where we learn how the ml fell in love with him and it's because the mc being able to see past his facade and how considerate he is even when he has no idea how to make curry lol

Actually lastly I really liked the little disconnect between how the mc felt his world kind of shatter learning that his manga was discontinued and how the ml reacted to the mc being proactive. I feel like that kind of dissonance between what happens in our minds and how we react does cause similar misunderstandings where someone may like the resulting action but it doesn't come out of a good place mentally. And the manga artist friend was fantastic at giving tough love advice from a gentle place because of how she acknowledged that it felt sh*tty for the mc but he's living a pretty nice life and can keep at it once he's gotten through the sadness.

Sorry for the long comment this was just a really neatly-packaged story for being a random 6 chapter bl manga and I wanted to talk about it. I also have a hard time speaking and try to show love with actions because I want to make up for it (tho obviously not at this bad of a level).

Honestly that whole last two chapters I was peaking at every panel hoping we don't see cho yujae because I completely agree with everyone our boy needs some time alone and he literally did what you asked. But tbh it makes the most sense since they both did try to get into the same place

Pls leave our hanjun be my dude, he needs some time to sort himself out and get over you

He's gone from the biggest douchebag I've ever seen to actually decent and you know what, I respect the character development. I didn't think it was possible, like he was so crappy at the start and what kept me reading was the funny characters. But now I'm genuinely rooting for them.

All in all, a pretty fun read of a story

Honestly at this point I want a 4th person to get in here and whisk him away but knowing bro's luck, this manhwa would just end up being "Comes in fours"

Ngl how on earth do fl and ml have such completely different memories of each other, I'm hooked because I need to see what happened there

I love author's notes, this one was very cute and detailed but come on why am I sharing an mbti with the deranged guy

I can't get over them both going like "huh, he's weird" when one of them is just an apathetic kid and the other is a whole ass serial killer

I'm staying to see where this goes because there's a bit of hilarity to that ngl

"Sh*t, maybe that's where "Anastasia" has been all along" is such a funny line, who let that pass, that's so funny XD

In terms of the non-official tl, oh my god where are we going, bro, taekjoo, you've been had my guy. Feeling very worried but part of me also thinks he has been shady this whole time and you should have noticed earlier. I'm not holding out hope that our boy gets out of this unscathed

You know what, I sometimes see this trope but they try to make it a romance and that doesn't feel right at all. I'm really invested in this one because honestly I feel sufficated just seeing our boy be in that situation, could not even imagine how scared sh*tless I'd be trying to appease some guy while juggling things at home. Rooting for a good ending for him but I have 0 clue how you'd even get to that point

Mostly I appreciate that this is a psychological horror, I am psychologically horrified so it really is fitting the genre

This series has so much emotional depth, I'm a big fan. Everyone is a bit hurt and a bit messed up and they're trying to make it work.

Chapter 34 just kind of cemented that for me because a lesser manhwa wouldn't have had the balls to present the antagonizing female characters like that. They're not cartoonishly evil and they're not even conventionally evil to be honest, they just have goals and different morals and are hypocritical in their own right. The only thing that makes them antagonists to us is the fact that they're against the main character and we're seeing a lot from her eyes so we don't want to see her suffer harder.

Also presenting theo like that is great too, where he's the one who's overly emotional and overly sensetive between him and his brother. I haven't seen many manhwa go over that part of a character's personality. It's just nice seeing presentation like this once in awhile

Also ngl this really uses the lighting to it's advantage and that's one of my favorite stylistic choices. This is a very neatly tied together manhwa
