I'm loooooving this story... but....the POV from the friend Malcom on the interaction between Andrew and Luke was so creepy and scary (in a sexy yandere way). Andrew seems to have some sort of social ineptitudes (maybe like autism with some artistic liberties, or just a yandere trope) but seems to mask them very well when he knows he's being watched. His possessiveness is very yandere, and I'm anxiously waiting to see how the author ups the ante.
I too have a bad feeling that Andrew is gonna do a looot more to keep Luke by his side. Not in a "irredeemable evil Andrew" sort of way, but I imagine him hurting or even killing to keep Luke safe.
I can see a plot line where Derek tries to very cruelly get revenge on both Luke and Andrew (it's canon he is a pos) since we don't know what he's up to rn. Can also the story ending after Andrew hurts/kills Derek, repeating and ultimately reliving his own traumatic past with his stalker and him holding a gun--in a way that's confirming all the bad shit that has been speculated about him by the public. But also Luke staying by his side because he's conscious of the complexities and is too deep in his relationship to back out.
As a sort of "evidence" for my theory with Derek: following Derek leaving the group (start of s2), some of the scenes between Luke and Andrew being cuddly are super zoomed out like if they were being spyed on, which makes me think these are hints at Derek working to get his revenge on them by "tarnishing" their reputation bc homophobia. The only example I can think of of this is when they're buying art supplies and they kiss inside the shop, and it's seen from far away, from outside the shop, etc. But also the fact that Bruno is still texting him and kissing his ass... like cmon, if Malcom noticed, Derek's henchman will notice too.
Anyway, I'd be cool if I'm right so that's why I'm writing it down lol.
UGHIFGEDHSJ just as i was getting fluff i lwky needed
I've read up till halfway thru ch 41, where they kiss and Doyoon is avoiding Gyeol. And i just feel like it's so one sided and Doyoon is so vulnerable because nobody else knows it's him. And then we have Gyeol who is sooo dependent on Doyoon to the point that he's obsessed. It feels icky and honestly boring. I'm sure it'll progress to Doyoon reciprocating but it just doesn't feel satisfying.
most bl manhwa only lean with like that dynamic with flat progress, that's its and it's really tiring
You're totally right. The premise felt interesting to me–unlike a lot of people in the comments, I don't come across a lot of these body/soul swapping manwhas/manhuas/mangas– and it started out very interesting. But once the misunderstanding between MC and ML got resolved, it got stale.
I can't get over how the position of the asshole and penis changes so much in ch 28. When the king tells the doctor to turn around, his bootyhole is in his lower back/ tailbone. Like it should not be that high. Same with the last panel, the penis is starting too high up.
OMG i thought that I'm the only one who get bothered by that... Same opinion lmao
You are not alone
Read this around 2015 and came back for morbid curiosity. For the premise, it's handled relatively well, and is well-written. At least it doesn't have any sexual assault--yes that's how low the bar is for manga dated before the 2010s.
My gripe is, though, that they only knew each other for a few weeks/months during the TT-ing, idk why dark-haired guy would hold on for so long. Yeah, he was going through trauma, and blonde was there, but I'm not buying it. And second, why is the fact that they are father-son SOO emphasized in the last chapter? The point is that they are trying to be "just people," but then they pull shit like, "My lover, my father," and it's so cringey because it doesn't match with the perspectives of the characters where they DON'T see each other as father-son (by ch11).
For this most recent ch, I thought they had graduated HS. In other words, I thought this was AFTER the implied separation. HOWEVER, I'm seeing some people are placing this ch BEFORE the implied separation? What are yalls thoughts?
Could easily be my own cultural ignorance. Do highschoolers typically apply for internships? They also just looked a lot older.
if youuu realllyyy noticed. Theres not set timeline here. Cause if you remember Jian Yi getting kidnapped gone during HS(??) and then he come back ( early chapter implied that) he’s been missing then some art here and there. And then HS and then now without even seeing them graduate?? And the easter egg in the arts like the christmas art wayybefore the actual story? I dont if im making sense or not
No you right, it's like various routes to the endgame (?) more like Old Xian improvised the story as she went and didn't think of one specific timeline
At this point. It's my headcanon that zheng Xi is on the asexual spectrum. Maybe even a bit aromantic: I think he sees Jian Yi as his soul mate/other half, but he's also incredibly stoic and we never see him express it directly. But he never wants to be without him.
I reread all of 19 days. Imo the moments where we see progression between og pairing are the following chs: 140-169,206-209, 258, all the christmas specials (they share a bed?!), and now 453.
Can someone tell me in what ch Yian Ji basically confessed his feeling to xixi. And like he got hard and was super embarrassed?
it doesn't match completely but check chapter 139 to 143 for the confession
Yes! From 140 to about 165 was PEAK Jian Yi Xixi. 162ish is what i was thinking of. where Damn I wish we could go back to this. Ofc not complaining He Tian and Mo are so cute
Ngl, the main plot is quite good if not goofy. I love how the Ms. Seo's son keeps meddling. The B plot feels so out of left field but is funny as hell. Did not imagine we would get a pimp!! I'm glad she's disliked by our MC, but I can already tell he's gonna have sex w her too, eventually. I would like this better if it was only the main plot with Ms. Seo but I'll take what I get. Good goon material.
Ugh skimmed up to ch 42 on toongod. This shit gets bad. And dongho goes from creepy dom to straightup r*pey :/ how very disappointing.
