i tried to give this a chance but idk if i can do it.
i don't like bongsoo being so unaware of everything. the sex in ch 22.. jiwon asked him to wear a condom so many times and he didn't once. the chapter after jiwon wakes up and is like he didn't remember the night before?? bro what?? then bongsoo went and broke one of his limited edition figurines. i've read other stories where the bottom is inexperienced but at least they know how to read the room.. my god.
jiwon isn't any better either because he kept coming onto bongsoo noncon in the beginning. but jiwon did make it clear that he just wanted sex. but then also kind of lead bongsoo in a way too.. is it the lack of communication then? idk what it is about this story, and i don't wanna say it's poorly done just because i don't like it..
just idk if it's worth it to just push through and read it, do they get better, or is it like annoying until the last few chapters?
SO CUTEEE OHHH MY GOD!!!!
haneum crying for everything, PLEASE, i loveeeee when the men just cry over their feelings. he's so sensitive and pretty . fell for him immediately.. thank goodness ipsae was nice to him.
if it were longer I think it would be nice if they went into each of their backgrounds, and ipsae graduating, his parents background too. but i do think with only 21 chapters it was straight to the point and didn't drag on..i wanna read it again already
the side stories were ok. i really really enjoyed the main story. just we could've done without the memory loss imo.. and the 2nd side story felt lackluster, a miscommunication fest.
disappointed a little because I do like both couples..idk how to feel rn
this was soooo cute and hilarious. the miscommunication caused by assumptions didn't make me want to pull my hair out. they're both so dumb and in love.. I HOPE THERE'S AT LEAST A SEASON'S LENGTH WORTH OF SIDE STORIES!!!
you know when this season first started and chapter 60 came out. I thought, mingwa's having the 2 of them meet NOW?!? but having read multiple times, I feel it was necessary to have them meet to really show how different their relationship dynamic is from S1 to S2. especially with dan.
our boy is stressed and depressed and he’s probably gonna fall even further into despair before he even gets back up. just imagine being told your only living relative has maybe 6 months left to live. that’s what dan was told as we find out in ch 56. dan’s been there for over month, so what maybe 5 months or less of granny? and even though it’s been established that dan didn’t cause jk's injury and they told him that. I think more than anything it’s the fact that the person he loves didn’t even trust him enough to say I know it wasn’t you, and now the very same guy won’t leave him alone lol.
I like the parallel of seeing dan dismiss and downplay his condition with jk when last season it was the other way around of jk dismissing his shoulder injury. I like the scene from ch 61, where dan’s like “when has he ever cared about my body.” because S1 dan would often say, I’m suffering, but jk must be suffering more. I bet ch. 66 is the best sleep jk ever had being wrapped up in his lover boy. if dan didn’t jump scare him awake, I think he probably would’ve slept for a while lol. his hair when he woke up too, cute cute. I like, no LOVE, dan constantly reiterating that jk only wants him for his body because he’s a tool for his jinx and jk being surprised pikachu everytime lmao.
other things too. dan’s eyes are so dull in comparison to S1. he effectively doubled the amount of soju bottles in his room from ch 56 to 65. I think jk definitely read dan’s birthday card note over and over again, enough for him to tell dan about it in ch. 62. I think jk had to have also missed dan’s cooking. I think jk thought about it while eating grilled chicken, salad, and a sweet potato every day lmao.. I think it’s hilarious that jk asked dan if he had his wallet after the doctor visit like he didn’t carry him, lock him in the car, and brought him out in his house clothes
the whole sex scene from 68 would’ve played out so differently if it was S1. S1 jk would’ve flipped dan over and went to town. dan saying he’s tired and jk saying ok, just sit up straight. S1 jk would’ve degraded him and then continued. jk wouldn’t have thought twice about the sex afterwards either. but there he was reflecting in the bath. he also didn't need to sit in there with dan or give him a little squeeze either. didn’t jk originally put dan in the bathtub to wake him up? which never happened and dan was out cold. jk got in and just stayed there with him for who knows how long before taking him out. WHIPPED..
yes, the bar is still in hell, and this might not seem like much. but at this point, 68 chapters, or well 69 soon, I really am enjoying seeing the both of them try to navigate all these feelings they’ve never dealt with before. it’s messy and slow, but it's happening.
rereading and I keep having more and more thoughts.
the parallels from S1 jk to S2.. oh my god.
in ch 46 after jk yelled at dan for the bday gift saying he’ll find someone else to do dan’s job if he slacks off again. folks this man couldn’t even do that. he went a MONTH alone without dan before he started going manic trying to find him. mr sex craze couldn’t even get hard with someone else. after he returned home in S1 from the hospital he was in dan’s former room staring out the window and sitting on the bed exclaiming how much he felt like shit. like he didn’t even go back in there at all after that. the cleaners were the ones who did after over a month of being untouched.
like do y’all even remember jk from S1. THIS FUCKIN GUY AIN’T HIM. yes the bar is in hell and he’s still an asshole don’t get it twisted, but he’s definitely changed.
S1 jk wouldn’t have taken dan to a hotel because dan said he didn’t want to go back to jk’s apartment. S1 jk wouldn’t have dragged dan to the doctor and keep him locked in the car so he couldn’t leave. yes we could’ve done without the sex in 68, but like when has jk ever asked for confirmation during sex if dan wanted to do it or not? and when dan said if he could take a break, do you really think S1 jk would’ve reacted how he did? YOU THINK S1 JK WOULD DELAY GYM TRAINING FOR SOMEONE?
S1 jk was overjoyed to see dan gone the morning after they had sex the first time. RAW btw, when he had sex with condoms w the other guy. jaekyung now is so fucking horny and whipped for dan and dan only. dan gone the next morning? jk wouldn’t even want to imagine that.
once again, it’s going slow, but there’s a lot. I was so unaware commenting before unbeknownst of the lore because I wasn’t caught up but now that I am. damn. I feel like the leonardo dicaprio meme pointing at all the shit i’m seeing in comparison to season 1 lmao
finally caught up and read. I got a lot to say.
tho very small in comparison to jk’s actions in S1, I think there really are some crumbs of change. It’s still progressing albeit VERY SLOW. It’s honestly on par with jk cause he deflects a lot and cannot acknowledge his feelings to save his life. he wouldn’t just say he’s in love right away. the chapters are also short too and the delivery could be better with more development but it is what it is. I’m still reading. my fav theory I read on twt was that since these are in jk’s POV they’re short cause he’s dumb lmaooo
this man is so whipped. he arrived in that town after a month of no dan and his sleep has gotten better. I really liked the talk granny had w jk on that little walk. when granny said she thought of jk as another grandson and the other stuff . when jk put the child lock on the car to force dan to see the doctor per granny’s wishes LOL.
then ch 68. *deep sigh*..minus the unnecessary sex, there was some info. jk’s OD stressed at the thought of dan leaving him. he gave him a squeeze in the bathtub. he’s never taken care of someone either as we learned from the bathtub scene too hahahah. finally carried him properly instead of throwing over his shoulder. I really don’t like the state dan is in, but I did like all the things he said to jk that’s forcing jk to deal with the weight of his own words. I think us seeing jk be so self assured is great too because he’s gonna be the one to crumble (I hope).
also, in rereading from start to finish, I noticed that jk was blushing during sex in chapters 28&29. he was also “nicer” (used VERY loosely, the bar is in hell) in those chapters too. then heesung showed up and shoved in his face that he might have feelings for dan, fighting to defend the fact his shoulder isn’t shit. he switched up real quick. but now this man blushing all the time. heart going badum badum at almost kisses and eye contact. kim dans lover boy for sure.
I think jk is gonna use the fact that dan’s granny asked this favor of him to bring dan to seoul to justify being dan’s “caretaker” because the doctor said so. The mans in tenterhooks or whatever the fuck over dan. but I also feel like dan can’t be contained and will eventually leave again when granny really dies. maybe then it’ll hit jk in the face how far he has fallen?
lastly, I think it’s a big fuckin deal jk hasn’t been to the gym since he’s so wrapped up in dan. clenching the keychain dan got him because he’ll “win”.. yea sure sure lover boy.
I’ll be back to read in June since I think the chapters are gonna get intense again lol
is it global release or release in KR first and then US afterwards? either way still so excited.. I wonder who tops
what a nice change of pace for me lol.. no smut but still cute.
i kinda wished they talked about the actor best friend instead of the other coworkers. or at least have more chapters for the coworkers. like the guy's pregnant but they're divorced?? i mean either way i enjoyed it, and so glad that the omega cousin didn't end up being a love interest
i'm always surprised at how big the interior for cars are in BLs..however, fucking over the center console is crazy work, at least put the seat back if you guys wanna do missionary lmao..
even so, pouring one out for this..another 10/10 story that's too short. i love when the men yearn and cry about how much they love...so good
not sure what I was expecting when i decided to read this, but what a way to start lmaoo. i like that jaehyeong is this big beef top with all these tears, it's cute. and kang min, that's just korean bakugo lol
ohhh my goodness, how cute are they!!!! for it being so short, i feel like it still progressed nicely. straight to the point. backstory, character development, fall deep deep in love..
i do wish we got to see the wedding, and more of them living together after jj finished his project in germany. but i'm so happy either way. will read again eventually
i was really hesitant to read this through at first since I don't usually read shounen ai, but i'm so glad I did. such a good story, and done so well.
the bullying, abuse, highschool and being too young to do anything. love how everything was depicted. oh man how I cried when jinhyuk read that letter. hurt my feelings so much. and when they had that moment in the hotel. sobbed. i hope they're happy forever and ever
i waited so long for this to finish even before official translation released, and i don't know how to feel now that i read it all...just when i thought i knew where this story was going something happened. i still don't know what the plot was supposed to be. mafia people fighting over a pretty bottom?
and then when i felt we finally got some honest thoughts from caesar, it's the last chapter and it ends. idk i just feel like that's it? i kinda wished there was more but like idk more of what i even wanna see. clear communication between them maybe? idk, but it wasn't bad and i enjoyed it enough to read it to completion. maybe one day there will be side story 3?

I did my best to be objective put a wide range of answers and questions, and pair answers to topics accordingly. I made the surveys on discussions i was seeing on mggo forums, twitter, tiktok, other social media sites. Some questions and answers i got from things i saw in mggo forums and mangas people commented on
oh my, this was the sweetest story I ever read. so short, but still paced well. i love how honest josh is and open when he felt he did something to hurt angel's feelings. and the whole confession argument after they were yelling and arguing, soo so sweet.
i wish we got to see them meet each others parents/family, and more domestic josh/angel chapters, but i guess it's enough for me that they're married
ohhhh my god. i had no idea when starting this that there would be so many emotions. definitely felt like some of the filler chapters we could've done without. but despite all that the overall story was just too cute.
i feel like speedran through the whole thing, and then the last chapter wedding special...written to the readers??? oh my god, sobbing and crying my eyes out.
i desperately hope for side stories for his brother and blondie. like does the little red hair guy finish school?? is the grandpa officially dead now? i guess it's enough to know the bad guys are dealt with, but maybe one day we can get side stories..
absolutely diabolical for this damn story to start out the way it did. here i am hating this fuckin guy because he assaulted him and then they get into lore and it was NEVER assault, and tHEY LIKE EACH OTHER.. now i'm on the season 2 aND I AM CRYING MY FUCKING EYES OUT
jaehee is one the greenest flags i've ever seen. i was SO WRONG. they are so cute. the smut scenes are so tasteful.. i guess I'll get my box of tissues ready now for when i finish it entirely
beefy bottoms, my favorite. god this is so so cute. BUT WHY IS THIS ONLY 5 CHAPTERS
