ryuji felt like a replacement. idk usually stories like these would have a more definitive way of convincing me that the other person was not a replacement but this one just didn't feel like aki accepts ryuji for who he is and not the person he confides to when he wants to feel loved.
Agreed. I think it’s cause there was no backstory or description of how aki realized ryuji was the one he truly loved. It felt cut short in a lot of ways. Like how ryuji background story was brought up but it didn’t feel like it added much substance to the overall character.
so hyeon actually did not take into consideration how susceptible to rumor that apartment was? since it was yiseon's weakest link, i thought he would've put more importance in concealing the apartment and any news and rumors about it.
i'm shocked that i didn't up liking this. i for sure thought i would.
edit: after reading a comment i guess i kinda understood why i didn't like this - it was the lack of chemistry. maybe it was the pacing(?) it felt like the five and half chapters weren't used effectively. idk i guess because i wanted to like this but ended up not liking it made me sad.
i read this a few years back and re-reading it now but i still feel icky about the noncon scene with hyunwoo (even if he technically didn't do the complete deed). i get that it's supposed to show *something* but i still think it was unnecessary.
this was basically 50+ chapters of running away and jumping to conclusions even though i hoped it wouldn't be since the ml talked about communication in the first few chapters.
