Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Secretary(2)

Twenty eight year old Taiga Masami is the new, young president of the company that Amami Kei works at. When they bumped into each other on President Taiga’s first day they had very different yet equally extreme reactions when they recognised each other. For Kei, it was a nightmare flashback to his first year in high school and a broken heart over cruel words. For Masami it was elation and a fiercely possessive need to keep the already fleeing Kei by his side. I loved the intensity of Masami’s love for Kei, even if it made him a bit too greedy at times. Kei was so cute in high school, my heart broke for him over what he heard. Their reunion story was really great because Kei had to overcome quite a bit and wasn’t an easy catch. He stood his ground which is important when you’re dealing with a possessive lover.

I read this on Manta (support the author) but will comment here. Centuries ago, Min Yu Tan accidentally named one of God’s favourites "Xue Dong Bo" thereby giving her a destiny that lay outside of heaven. As punishment, he has been living countless lives looking for Xue Dong Bo, fated to fall in love and seek hers in return. However, each reincarnation where they find each other only Min Yu Tan remembers their past, and that if one dies then so will the other. In this life, Min Yu Tan is Yudam, Director of Min Entertainment. Wealthy, attractive, successful and well liked, he is a pinnacle of perfection. Yet he is nothing before the new secretary who he instantly recognises as the reincarnation of Xue Dong Bo. Only this time, the one whose life is so fatefully entwined with his is a man. Young and beautiful, Dongbaek thinks that the new director has lost his mind when he is bluntly told that they must date. Or die. This story didn’t instantly grab me. The start seemed a little farcical and over the top, but it didn’t take long to get caught up in the story. The director’s love was something that became so genuine it grabbed at my heartstrings. The moments that he savoured like simply holding Dongbaek were really sweet. And when Dongbaek started to fall for him too, it just got better and better.
