people not really getting the nuance/appeal of Luke and Andrew's relationship I see and I wanna throw my two cents in, lmk if yall agree or feel free to add your own takeaways from it. Long paragraphs ahead lol.
From the start, Luke is shown to be a passionate, sweet, and deeply loyal lover. He’s incredibly attentive, sometimes to a fault, going along with even Stacy’s more unhinged demands without much resistance. He’s highly emotional, wearing his heart on his sleeve, and isn’t afraid to be vulnerable, often tearing up or openly expressing his feelings.
Andrew, on the other hand (who I personally believe is somewhere on the spectrum), had anything but an easy or loving upbringing. Pushed into the public eye at a young age and repeatedly exploited by his father, he naturally became wary of relationships and struggled with emotional intimacy.
Now, enter Luke with his ingenious plan to endear himself to Andrew so he can stay in the room. But what’s fascinating is that, without even trying, Luke starts breaking down Andrew’s walls just by being his natural, easygoing, and charming self. By the time they confront Stacy together, you can already see Andrew falling for him.
Meanwhile, Luke is just as obsessed with Andrew, he craves his validation, loves seeing him smile, and enjoys pulling him out of his rigid routine. He’s like a puppy desperately wanting Andrew’s attention. So when the kiss happens, it’s not random, Andrew is already completely thirsty for Luke at that point, and while Luke is a little naive, he’s also lowkey into it. His bi awakening unfolds in such a fun, organic way, they hang out, they make out, it’s hot, it’s playful.
What makes it even better is how Luke handles all the talk about Andy Young, he could have easily gossiped or pried, but instead, he’s incredibly respectful, refusing to engage in speculation and wanting to hear Andrew’s story directly from him. That level of consideration and care is just chef’s kiss.
And now in the recent chapter, Andrew is the puppy, he’s completely latched onto Luke, following him around, and Luke is just accepting it in the cutest way possible. Obsessed. But I do wonder if Andrew’s growing dependence on Luke could eventually cause some friction. He doesn’t seem all that interested in Luke’s friends, and I could see potential issues with jealousy or possessiveness down the line. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I’d love to hear what y’all think.
a huge thank you to the translator you're truly doing god's work, sending you lots of love and I hope you find someone to help you with this!! The notification is not sth I mind either, like someone said rereading nerd project is never a chore especially since we get to actually understand what they're saying unlike with the machine translations.
Also Puppy Andrew thooo
wow i have been keeping this on the back-burner for years now, for some reason I was not vibing with the whole pet thing and I had just come here from ouroborous plus it was still at around 10 chapters but im so fucking glad i gave it a chance again and read it without bias or anything cuz it's possibly one of my favorite stories now my god.
One thing i love about this author is how real and three dimensional the main characters feel and i was rooting for everyone (yes even the younger brother) and im so happy i powered through it this weekend.
this is insane lmao ive also read the raws and it just keeps getting wilder lool
not me crying reading this chapter, like I loved the dialogue and yeah yoogoon is kinda a mess but he's a mess who just wants to be loved and is very damaged so im kinda forgiving his shit cuz i want my baby junghae to be happy and they're so fucking cute as a couple.
Also did not mind the makeup sex not being shown personally, this manhwa unlike the artist's previous works does not really have hot sex anyways and I kinda lowered my expectations when it comes to smut lol.
reading the smut and make out sessions in this manhwa really got me going like that alexa demie meme vid where she's just moaning in bed
on my 5th reread need this shit injected into my veins, luke and andrew literally one my all time fav couples and I will be giggling and blushing when I get to the point where they make out
okaay so this was wild and i feel a bit unecessary... afaik with DID, each alter has their own age, gender, personality. In this manhwa I'm suspecting it's the same (supernatural) person, mudo, at different stages of his life (young, adult, old). I'm intrigued by the plot of this manhwa, but I agree with the general sentiment that it is a bit cooked to make the story play out this way, when it could have easily have been after they'd done having sex before the third personality shows up. Like was it meant to be a funny bit like they used to do in Volume Up? I fear no one is laughing this time tho...
Still, this could also be a case of unreliable narrator and evil horny mudo is not as knowledgeable of cannibal Mudo, which I hope that is the case ngl.
brett really said manipulate, mansplain and manwhore all in one chapter the icon that he is. Also a bit unrelated but I genuinely love how much this manhwa feels american like the author clearly knows their stuff and this gives this manhwa such a cool feel. Speaking of, I lol'ed at that comment Scott made about koreans cuz from my outside limited pov it does seem like korean het men compliment and praise other men a lot espcially pretty/cute ones lol.
Reading this shit is like a religious experience bro like my God I keep getting gagged and gooped and silently screaming and kicking my feet and giggling and shit... like Hayden standing on business and saying we not doing any of that "misunderstanding/hide my own feelings and stay hurt" shit my man knows what he wants and he is not gonna settle for less!!! And then he goes and shows Brett just what he's gonna be missing out on. Ugh love this
the way this 6 chapter series that was one of my fav oneshots back in 2021 is turning out to be one of the best well written stories, even outside of manhwas in general and keeps on serving premium fucking drama, great exposure and insane character dialogue, introspection and interactions?? Like we really out here being spoiled omg this season is already out here being the most iconic my god
