I have no idea what the office politics in this story is about, I can’t keep up with it. But oooh, do I just adore this mess. Fight! Fight!
It's kind of awkward because real office politics (at least in the USA) don't work like this at all (and honestly, I can only imagine elites being even more professional in Asian countries than here in the USA, so I'm fairly certain what's depicted in this comic is just as absurd to Korean readers than to western readers).
Thought this was cute at first, but as the story continued, Ryota really began to irritate me. He is one of those people who’s seemingly nice, but at the same time aloof to the point of being insensitive, particularly to Saku, his childhood friend who is supposed to be his boyfriend in this story. It’s like he takes everyone’s feelings into careful, high consideration EXCEPT for his, and dismisses every concern as “he’s being childish” “he’s just an idiot” just being condescending constantly. I kind of feel bad for the guy. Also the constant intimacy interrupting was funny maybe the first two times, but after that you really start to feel turned off as a reader, and eventually don’t even care to see them together anymore. One’s trying to make an effort and is understandably frustrated, the other kind of ignores or blows off the frustration, and prioritizes everything and everyone else over their relationship. By the time they actually started having sex regularly (towards the very end) you are so over it already. Also Ryouta lied or kept quiet to Saku constantly about what he’s doing or what he’s up to, finding out things about him behind his back even going to a love hotel with the brother, getting “taught” how to give a blowjob, calling his friends to learn about rivals then lying and saying he was talking to his mother, just being secretive and sneaky. Idk. Saku wasn’t perfect and made some mistakes, but Ryouta’s type of personality just pisses me off more. Oh, and how can you call ANYONE an idiot, when you got tricked onto a plane and have been kidnapped 3 FREAKIN TIMES. I hate Ryouta. I hope the French weirdo steals Saku away
The late night chat with the dad made me so teary eyed, ugh
