Huh. Idk I'm a bit torn about this one. Wonjae is super refreshing (tbh so is Sawol) but it kinda feels like the execution is lacking so far. It's like ... a faster moving, cleaner Payback with less depth. Other people have said it feels rushed, I agree. It's entertaining enough to keep reading at least.
I love that the more this manhwa goes on, the more we start to see Youngchan break down. The way he was acting was just a front, and the more you put up a false front, the more it eats away at you. In this latest chapter it's really interesting how he's talking about Hyunsoo finally being vulnerable with him (omg this artist, the way Hyunsoo arched up in the bathtub was so fucking hot), but in a way it sort of echoes back, vulnerability calling to vulnerability, so we're seeing Youngchan starting to lose his ability to put up his front around someone who feels totally comfortable with him. I think we're heading into some Drama bc lemme tell you from experience when someone gets past the front, it can trigger a whole legion of emotions that can be really hard to deal with. But I feel like as Youngchan breaks down, Hyunsoo will be there to pick him up, and the fluff at the end will be well worth it.
This story is so deeply unserious. It's not a bad concept but it's not executed very well so far. It'd need to be SUPER slow burn -- Yuha's dealing with someone who a) isn't gay b) was married to his sister/saw him as literal family and c) is still grieving. It's definitely played off as just being a setup for smut, like they're rushing to get to the seggs, so Yuha is being really creepy and crossing boundaries constantly. Though tbh Hyunseo is deeply in denial and not very self-aware. It's kind of a letdown because it could have been really interesting if done with more care. But I guess it is what it is.
Exactly!
And let me add that it would've been waaayy better if they looked more mature, given the fact that they're both adult men who are in a smutty manhwa
And while reading your comment I was thinking that it would've been perfect if the author of Miscreants and Mayhem created this plot in their own style
Honestly, I came to drop this and your comment caught my attention
Love these two, need mooooooooore
