Literally one of the best BLs out there omggg
And after reading chapter 70, I can say that no other BL top is as much of a ride or die than Dahyeok. Argue with the wall.Like what normal civilian kidnaps gangsters and crashes their car into a warehouse to save their bf??he's definitely one of the best for sure. And I love the fact that the author confirmed he's also a bit twisted, so Minhyeok and In-yul make a great couple. I mean it's already pretty obvious that they're literally perfect together. Reading the story was so fun, I can't believe I started when it just came out, it doesn't even feel like it's been years. The ending came as a shock to me but I still loved it.(kinda would've preferred if the pink haired bastard and his glasses bf had died but it's aiit ig lmao). 100/10
Hopping from one cheater to another might not be the best play here but at the same time I wouldn't say that the mc's ex and ML are the same. ML was a loose man and a broke bum that was using anyone for money, I'm sure the women he were with could tell that much. It's not the same as being a boyfriend in a committed long term relationship for almost a decade and cheating on the them the entire time with a woman.. idk about y'all but to me that's worse┐(￣ヘ￣)┌. Anyway, since it's a fictional world imma believe that nothing bad happens in their relationship afterwards and from the extra chapter, they're definitely going strong(◡ ω ◡). The ML got his life together, became serious about relationships and since we can literally see his thoughts as readers then I have no reason to believe he isn't being sincere with mc. They'll be alright, their relationship is cute and I love that they worked it all out. But the real star of the show is the art & anatomy, obsessed with a bigger buffer uke and a shorter slimmer seme. I love it so much(✯ᴗ✯). Also, does anyone also think that the artist would do GREAT in the horror/psychological genre??? The vibe in the first couple chapters has me thinking I missed a tag lmao
I'm on chapter 67 rn so y'all don't jump me for this one but I'm starting to have no hope in their relationship anymore?? I SWEAR I'm not hating or anything but.... atp I'm thinking Jin should do whatever the fuck he wants to do and rule over the company, or go on his suicide mission or whatever he wants and Mathew should just move on to someone else or something and get therapy (bro clearly needed that from the moment he lost his parent or maybe even before that). He keeps chasing after jin and it's just been one bad thing after another with no light at the end of the tunnelಥ‿ಥ. I've been reading this story since it came out in 2021, and I'm obviously still a fan so if they work it out I'll definitely be happy but with the way it's going I'm just like "Everything's gone to shit, everyone should give up already(╯ರ ~ ರ)╯︵ ┻━┻ " But all I want is for Brandon to die idk how y'all are finding him attractive, he's disgusting.
Yh I agree like the only way I can see this going and it feeling earned and mildly okay is if it goes the mania route with the ending if they do end up both alive and well and together
Okay I finally caught up to chapter 71, and again I say; I NEED BRANDON DEAD. Anyway, I really don't like the way it looks like Mathew is giving up his life for Jin. He's clearly a talented artist so seeing him seemingly give up that one thing in his life to go risk all for Jin is kinda painful to me. Plus, I can smell the angst coming. I can sense someone's about to die and I don't think it's just gonna be brandon. so POTATO, PUT THE GUN DOWN AND GO SUBMIT YOUR ART TO THE EXHIBIT, LEAVE THE MAFIA SHIT TO THE ACTUAL MAFIA IM BEGGING ATP
righttt I was just thinking about that lol. I have a feeling there's gonna be a time skip and they're gonna have to be apart for a while.. I think it's kinda necessary but at the same time I hate that route so much
Ye it's soooo.... Sigh.
As someone who has extreme abandonment trauma like I don't think it's gonna get any better especially with his age and how fucked the story is. I understand the mental process completely. It is so sad how trauma will make u have such low self preservation skills, self respect, identity etc. soooo....
I ain't got no hope .
For real, I am no longer a big fan of their relationship anymore. Mathew's obsession with Jin is not cute.
YOU GET ITಥ‿ಥ
Chitose(seme) was very immature and doesn't communicate unless he's first runs away and gets chased by Shinogu. he's so annoying and hardly got any character development unlike Shinogu who progressively gets better each chapter. the uke was fucking amazing, loved him(づ￣ ³￣)づ
idk how to say this.. they're both not good people.. They've hurt each other multiple times. But at the same time I can understand why they were doing that. So I sorta pity them. They deserve each other really. I'm just glad they worked it out at the end.
Yeah they both had a very rough start to everything but they eventually got where they needed to go even if it was messy. A couple of dumb dumbs in a way that eventually came out better people for it lol. Not everyone takes the "best" route right off the bat and their relationship looks like it'll grow healthily after the last parts which is all that matters (づ￣ ³￣)づ. I like how the author was able to portray both characters being diabolical but at the same time having the brain cells to ACTUALLY reflect and both sides learn from it. Sometimes people really do lose themselves in reacting to things they weren't quite/truly ready for yet, but they didn't shy away from cooling off and resolving matters along the way ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I only read this cuz a lot of people were saying the first couple was terrible and the second was fine. I thought to myself, "Nah, they're all exaggerating". But now that I've read this I can honestly say that:
The first couple was in fact absolute garbage, Haemin deserved so much better than that bastard uke. I hate bl stories were one person is disgustingly toxic asf and the other is an absolute dumbass pushover, and the toxic one causes lots of problems then the author makes them look like some happy healthy couple at the very end of the story. Like nuh-uh, we saw those 40-60 chapters of toxicity, don't try and gaslight us into thinking that they're perfect together(￢_￢).
Anyways, yall were right about the first couple being trash but kinda wrong about the second, imo they weren't great either and honestly they were toxic too but kinda boring. I was already struggling to finish the story from the very beginning lol but I had to drop when I was half way through with the second couple. I just couldn't do it anymore.
So in conclusion, this story was kinda a waste of time lol
I absolutely love this story, it was so good.
I loved all the characters, Bawoo and Duan were my favs, they were so funny. But there's one thing I wanna say about Bawoo, I think he's toxic for Hoon. At first I thought that him and Hoon's relationship was cute and kinda funny despite the misunderstandings but after reading everything,
its obviously that it's being portrayed as cute and healthy by the end but it's not really , it's borderline toxic. It's almost painful to watch Hoon try so hard for someone that physically & verbally insults him and never communicates properly with him then he keeps telling himself that he deserves it cuz "it's not even half of Bawoo's pain from back then" or sumn like that like huh?? ....It's made like Hoon is the one that horribly wronged him in some disturbing way even tho Bawoo is partly at fault too....If Bawoo REALLY liked Hoon, he wouldn't let this go on; especially not for that long. Plus we never got to see Bawoo reassure Hoon and actually communicate with him, we just see that they end up dating. idk I can't see their relationship as anything but toxic anymore. Everyone else's relationship was so interesting and had SOO much depth, there was so much change and it was fun to read.
That was an interesting point. I definitely like the other couples more (maybe that played a part in it). Though, I would have liked to see more of them after getting together to actually see how they are with communication.
It feels like Bawoo is getting his feelings validated now that Hoon knows what it feels liking someone, and I don’t think that’s very wrong but it would be toxic if he kept it up for long. I could pass it off as immaturity of youth, but it is an issue if it goes further in their relationship.
THANK YOU, YOU GET IT!!!
So sorry that this is such a late reply but i really wanna answer some of the things you said here.
And this might be coming here as Bawoo is my favourite so forgive me if it sounds a bit biased (︶︿︶)＝凸.
While I do agree with you on most part that it's stupid for Bawoo to think Hoon deserves to grovel because he suffered so much back then.
But I really don't think Bawoo is at much fault here, Hoon is really just fucking dense. In one of the chapters (ch 29 i believe) Hoon mentions how he choose music basically for Bawoo and even Siwon recognises that Hoon is basically in love with Bawoo.
Bawoo had mentioned it before that he liked Hoon but as always he was too dense to get it.
Even in another chapter Daun can guess that Baawo likes Hoon. Though he is rather perceptive but I don't think you need to be a genius to figure it out.
About the part of letting go, I feel like that's rooted to Bawoo's character. He is used to letting things go, we see how he grows up with so much younger siblings that he has to give up a lot of his childhood for them, especially growing up poor. He even has to give up the guitar something which he really likes, just for his family. So when provided with the opportunity of explaining to Hoon that he liked him in a way more than friends did and risk losing him or just letting it go and turn back to normal. Bawoo naturally chose the latter.
And when Hoon tried to contact him after moving away Bawoo most definitely ignored him because he wanted to give up on liking Hoon and what's better to ignore the said persons existence?
At the end of the day Bawoo was just a kid forced to act like an adult and role model.
That being said I do wish we were given some more side stories about them to see how their relationship is after everything and how they have progressed. I was a little disappointed as they were my fav that they mainly just had stories about their past.
can't wait for wren to die. If he loves Tristan so much why not just leave him alone and go kys somewhere in a ditch maybe┐(-。-)┌ atp I can't even bother caring about him anymore lol
Ethan cheated and Tristan didn't, he was sexually assaulted by his "father figure".
But at the end of chapter 81, it looks like Tristan cheated cuz he was naked with that bite mark and now Ethan is pissed lol, serves him right for cheating tho. There was no reason for Ethan to do that at all. The author could have written another way instead of having Ethan resorting to cheating but okay(￢_￢)..
Also, I just realized the amount of characters having sex with the kids they literally raised is way too high in this manhwa
Ethan didn't even cheat tho? He basically just sucked blood, and the dude was innapropriate, and then he did a singular kiss like
Like especially with the implication that he did it for Tristan so that Wren will be cured or something, I really don't think it counts as cheating
Ethan literally went to beg for blood for Tristan, not his fault he was forced to kiss the ex who liked his father. On the other hand Tristan and his father want to fuck really bad and both have some romantic feelings.
noone has romantic feelings wth
It is cheating to kiss someone when you’re in a relationship willingly even if you had to. Holy fucking shit
"Willingly" and "he had to" doesn't make sense in the same sentence
He in his OWN FREE WILL (he had the choice not to and just walk away) kissed his the guy, because his reasonings were he “had to in exchange for blood”.
A singular kiss kissing another guy is cheating and is was not part of their contract to get what he needed he just did that
EXACTLY like no he already got what he came for and then kissed him
THANKY YOUU
the kiss was completely unnecessary. He cheated, that's it.
you think Ethan was FORCED to kiss the ex after he was done taking the blood while Wren assaulting Tristan was consensual??????????? and you think Tristan is inlove with Wren too??? Sweetie, this is concerning or is this rage bait??? cuz theres no way
happy ending for both of them ig??
