Am I just really shitty at telling age in manwha or something

So many BL manwha have comments saying the uke looks like a kid or teenager. But when I’m reading, I literally don’t see it at all except for a few occasions. Or don’t unless someone points it out/lots of ppl going on about it. Idk how to feel about this.

Like, to me, they just look like small or feminine/cute men?? Which exist irl? I know plenty of guys college ages that are pretty boys and stuff, and multiple kpop idols or asian celebrities in general that look small, young, feminine, etc. When I’m reading, I’m just registering it as a small or effeminate man

People have said Dan from Jinx looks super young or kiddish (this one I don’t see at all, what???), the omega guy from Love is an Illusion (after I saw the comments, I could see it, but beforehand I genuinely thought he looked college aged), or Yoonbum from KS. Which, if you go just off size or don’t know the character I could see why, but since I read it I just see Yoonbum as looking early twenties (although he’s like 25 or something I think??)

I don’t know, maybe I am just desensitized or really shit at noticing this stuff/telling age
