longtime / childhood friends to lovers BL

☆ 4.5/5

[PG, school life, rom-com, slice of life]

+ friends to lovers
+ good writing and development
+ heartwarming and adorable

What I love about this manhwa is that the romance is so intertwined with the friendship and family aspect. While it's certainly a light feel-good story with silly moments, it's also unexpectedly deep and touching. Kinda has the same feeling as Reply drama series.

☆ 5/5

[PG, psychological, drama]

TW: bullying, manipulative & abusive family, child abuse, mental illness, trauma, suicide attempt

+ great and realistic writing
+ character growth
+ ND representation
+ happy ending has never been THIS well deserved

I'm actually still screaming while writing this. Man, the amount of heartache this manhwa gave me. I didn't expect it to be this beautiful and heartbreaking. It'll definitely stay with me for a long time.
