bl stories that center on genuinely being gay and the potential struggles that come with it, while also lightening the mood with comedy, will always have a special place in my heart. i absolutely loved this story. i think both of the characters are wonderfully written, and jae-hyuk’s character development was absolutely tasteful. he actually ends up being my favorite character, even more so than garam, which i think is quite surprising.
i also think the art style changed for the better. i know that’s slightly controversial, but i do think it was a positive change, especially since we get to see more dynamic facial expressions from the characters.
ultimately, this story is one of a kind. there really isn’t much else like it, and i think that’s what makes it so special and fun. it’s not necessarily a story that sticks with you because it carries a particularly deep message, although there are some deeper concepts explored. however, they aren’t harped on too heavily, which allows the story to stay true to its identity as a romantic comedy.
i think it strikes a great balance between comedy and lightheartedness while also addressing some of the tougher realities that people face. i wish we could have seen a little more of the story in certain aspects, simply because i want to know everything and i’m super nosy. ultimately, i think this was a fantastic read, and i’m so sad that it’s over.
i haven’t felt this way after reading a good manhwa in so long. it’s been such a long time since i’ve read something this interesting, toxic, and fun. the art is good, and this was such a good read. i feel like i’ve been reading so many boring things lately, but this one was SO good. i love how toxic it is, the back and forth, the emotional irregularities, the dysfunctionality of the plot, and the absolute craziness of one of the characters. i love when we see a good change in behavior. it’s so good. SO good.
the premise is very much the stereotypical gang boss to lover arch. i do think it’s cute how it ended up and to be entirely fair i think this was, for the most part, consensual? unless i forgot something. in my head, since these are soooo common, i can’t even fault it. it’s like getting kidnapped by one direction… i also anticipate my reading of yaoi for sooo long to allow me to permit a lot of harmful behaviors in the fiction. so, idk. i thought it was genuinely fine— nothing crazy.











i LOVEEEE yaoi that actually has a lot of chapters. usually they are only like max 2 volumes… the art is beautiful too! i feel bad for sanada :( he seems misunderstood. riku is obv the better choice tho. sanada deserves happiness and i hope he gets it
