so many problematic tropes in this. i never really liked it but stuck it out in hope it would get better but it was kind of boring. plus i can't stand that baby's art style
Even though I really really love this story now, I agree!! I dropped this when they had this huge fight with yirim leaving because come OONN this is so hypocrite and melodramatic!!
but I was lucky cuz it changed for the better for me! I wouldn’t exactly recommend it to someone looking for a deep story as well. But this has a real nice mixture of some easy angst and sooo much fluff !
I felt the same way when I read the side stories. Even though they are already a family, I don't feel like they are very close to each other. It's like there are a lot of missing pieces I can't explain. They don't seem familiar with one another, and I don't feel that they truly know each other. For example, in other manhwas, characters often know when something is happening with their lover, especially if they've been together for a long time. But in this case, I just don't feel it. They didn't have enough time to get to know each other well, even after having a baby.
The repetitive narrative gets pretty annoying , pretty fast. I also read till the end, since I wanted to know how it ends, but it was more of a chore, than a joy
I absolutely get what you mean! It‘s not as bad as other Stories I‘ve read, but it is a bit frustrating, since it got so much potential. It‘s sad that everything changed with the pregnancy, but at least the kid is cute sksks
Yes exactly! There‘s no intimacy and friendship, even with the child sometimes (〜￣△￣)〜which is really sad, cause plot per se had a lot of potential
3.5/5 Stars — Honest review (Spoilers ahead, if you haven’t read it): Okay look, while the little chub is an absolute cutie patootie (≧∀≦) and the „side“ chapters are very sweet because of him (AND the improved artstyle), I do have some issues with this story as a whole.
There was so much unnecessary drama and miscommunication right through the last third of the official "end" that I sometimes honestly struggled to even read on. Not to mention, that I started this BL four times (over several months), before I got myself to read on past a few chapters, because the plot and artstyle (in the beginning there’s almost no emotion in their faces) are so frustrating #－.－)
And even tho the kid is super adorbs, I absolutely HATED the fact, _that_ and _how_ he got pregnant in the first place. Both of them have some mental and physical issues and that’s why they‘re drawn to each other to begin with, yet it never really got explained what _exactly_ happened, and than all of their problems get kind of resolved after the child is born. They still never really talk with each other, tbh. It‘s like we‘re running in circles with them, just to end up, where we started.
MY problem is, that they don’t really have major problems to begin with xD“ apart from the almost never ending NOT COMMUNICATING thing. At some point it really irked me, that Yi-ra always run away. As soon as they hit a wall he‘d be like: <<<<(╯°Д °)╯“See ya!“
I get that he‘s insecure and wants to be independent yadayada, but his character/personality (the little he has anyway) alongside with his moods change so often, that I absolutely don’t have a grip on him. Cheong-ho is not much better, at first he‘s kind of a Tsundere and aloof, only to later become almost „obsessively“ in love. Because of that, I (as a reader) really struggle to emphasize with either one of them.
ANYWAY, it does get somewhat better and the improved artstyle, along with the kiddie are a major contributor for that xD
It‘s not a bad story (I definitely had far worse) but I wouldn’t recommend it I know for sure, that I won’t read it again ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ If I want a cute kid in a story, I‘ll get my fix from other, better stories
