One thing about the art style is how aware author is when she is writing an intercultural relationship. their skin tone for example, as a korean person j.j is significantly darker than leo, which is so nice to see after seeing paper white koreans nonstop in manhwas. Also author making j.j bigger than leo when asians are often stereotypically shown as short and small is such a cheff kiss decision. Really love how you can tell there was so much thought put into it with fully knowing that an korean person did make this. Nerd project also gives the same feeling as this, it just feels good to read something so detailed and accurate.
People acting like jian is not the only interesting character in the story got me giggling.
Mieum is the most cliche weak bottom who needs his top daddy uwu baby twink, jitae is like "i will protect you bunny but you follow my orders for safety" meanwhile jin is only giving "i am obsessed with you because you smiled at me once"
I wouldve dropped this story if it wasnt for jian.
I think this kid went through something traumatic as a kid and this is why he is so naive and slow. I hope rather than only fucking him, the top can teach him how to live as a normal human being.
I dont think jian loves jin. Not yet. Not in the way jin wants it to be. I think jian both loved and cared for jitae and jin the same way as his little brothers in a messy household. Jin was clearly jealous of jian's attention for jitae though. I think jian will soon realize that the sex he wanted from jin is not gonna turn out as nonchalant as he likes, he will develop feelings.
Jian just needs ONE person to truly take care of him with no motivations, i dont know if jin's obsession can be that for him for now. This is why 2nd couple is so GOOOOOOD.
2nd couple is so GOOD that i wish the whole series was about them only
A realistic japanese yaoi where we see them grow up, their adult struggles, realistic and beautiful portrayal of families and actually them getting married. This is such a good refreshing story to read.
Art is fine, characters and designs are good. Story and idea is really interesting but goddamn the actual storytelling in this is kinda messy. I feel like author is a bit amateur w the way they make storyboards between plot and smut, the flow is a bit off. Hope they improve cuz story is storying
The new guy will think that bottom's asshole is free real estate and will make a move which will make the top guy realize his feelings due to his possessiveness and jealousy. Real original and i will be eating this up every damn time!! GIMME NOW
Ngl call me too woke or something but not liking the bottom being a whore screams internalized misogyny bcs it is ok for tops to fuck every single hole with or without consent - it is always hot but when u see a bottom (who is taking the "women" role obvioysly) being sloppy asf it is the worst thing ever and not fun anymore. Even uninteresting going as far as saying "disgusting" like ur not here reading the first couple peeing on each other. He is a man, who cares if he is getting it up nonstop like why r u all hating and whoreshaming LIKE A MAN??? Some serious issues we need to talk frfr
I have a theory. Jian, jin and jitae knew each other from childhood or youth. Jian was in the big brother role hence him wanting both jitae and jin to call him "hyung". The company probaby has shady backgrounds with mafia and jin is probaby the guy who had ties w them (i think he has tattoos and clearly scars/can fight). Grandfather cannot get rid off jian's mom because of those shady business. Somehow jin wants jian out of there in his twisted way (maybe bcs he knows that his mom is using him and the truth/relationship behind), teams up with jitae for their goals.
Plus his drug issue is weird, jian's mom is 100% forcing jian to take those drugs from hajoon (since hajoon reports his every move to his mom and best way to look clueless is to act like a drug addict whore so she wont feel threatened).
At the same time he feels so soulless, like he gave up. I dont know i cannot tell his motives. He is so interesting.
Not people whoreshaming a character in a bl manhwa like do u know where you are???
Please rec me your most underrated bl, manga or manhwa doesnt matter. I love reading secret gems!
Does anyone know when side story 2 will start cuz damn i will be eating it up
The way author drew bottom's dick long as well so it wouldnt look too awkward next to that monstrosity. I love it here ngl.
A part of me tells that there is no way bottom has no ulterior moves but at the same time he declines being a sugar baby bcs he wants to get fucked in the daytime? Uhhhhh
Any arranged marriage bls? Omegaverse or smthing would be nice, pleaseee TT
