Finally the end, damn.
This was an incredible manwha. The art is just scrumptious and the characters delicious.
It's a breath of fresh air compared to all the copy pasted, plot limited, BLs that populate this industry.
The story is clear and seems well thought of. All the characters are likable (yes, even that disgusting brother, I hate to say it).
I was initially scared because of the fact that Taehyuk basically adopted Un, but honestly it worked out. I don't know how, but as the story went on, it wasn't as iffy. The last chapter was basically a confirmation of that.
Taehyuk isn't interested at all in kid Un, as he sees him as a kid and always will. It was adult Un that seduced him and the only one he loves. He still cares deeply for kid Un, but isn't capable of loving him the same way. Even the way he was talking to him seemed like he was talking to a little kid, and when he said "I will marry you when you get older" kinda felt like he was talking to somebody else, like "I'm married to your older brother". Idk, that's just the vibe I felt.
Another thing that probably helped was the fact that Taehyuk never really saw Un grow up per se, with his sudden transformation.
I'm not gonna say that this is flawless, but overall, it worked out, and the art helped. Probably not my top ten, but easily top 20, and I will be recommending it actively.
Oh my god.
I didn't expect to like it that much.
I stubbled upon it pretty much by accident and thought the cover was nice.
The start was a bit hard for me because I hate people who hate for no reason, and I'm not that much of a fan of enemies to lovers. But knowing that it came from trauma, and that he only wanted to protect Hyun just makes me want to forgive him. And as much as I think ignoring doesn't solve anything, Doyoung's just too cute and relatable. Certified green flag.
Talking about green flags, Jaeha's a whole ass forest, and I relate myself to him a little too much, as in being unable to intentionally harm someone, which is a blessing and a curse because some people deserve it.
Anyway, I love him, and seing him so happy with Doyoung made me giggle a little too much. Seing them switch up and act like the clingiest and most in love couple is just so relaxing compared to all those stressing couples that exist out there.
Lastly, ma boy Hyun. I have personal beef with your ass. What do you mean you can turn a blind eye to your new friend acting hostile and excluding your best friend of 10 years, but you can't bear to see them, as a COUPLE, have some private time together ? Huh ? Explain that to me please, because I don't quite understand. What do you mean you can force them to include you all the time in their COUPLE, but you can't bear listen to their problems ? What do you mean you can spend all your time with the new guy that you didn't even present to your best friend of 10 years and that you don't ask if the latter to do anything together, but you're upset they, as a COUPLE, got their own apartment without you ?
I'm gonna need a full explanation on your knees with tears for me to even think about forgiving you my dear Hyun.
Going back to my main children, I love them, and they unexpectedly just earned their spot in my top 10. Pure fluff
