the sex was completely unnecessary. yes teenagers have sex, esp the couples that are head over heels in love with each other like these two. however, they are kids, MINORS, theres absolutely no need to draw them having sex like that esp when it’s drawn by a fully grown adult. i was liking the story and then we got hit with smut and i was immediately put off. urgh
girl what the fuck was that shitty ass abrupt ending?? honestly, the pacing of the entire story was pretty bullshit. giwoo liked sangjo. sangjo didnt like giwoo yet thought he was cute but was annoyed by the energy drinks. giwoo gets kidnapped and beat up by those people and gets slapped by sangjo (which was insane btw), giwoo says he hates sangjo and wants to leave. sangjo acts ‘cute’, giwoo likes him again. they get together, finished. LIKE???
i liked the plot somewhat though, like all of that backstabbing by mingyu really had me on edge but it was so drawn out and mingyu flipflopping between sangjo and taesoo was going on forever and annoying. and like for fifty chapters we didn’t have much going on, then suddenly everything needs to be packed into the last ten chapters. and i thought geon was cute too, but he was just fucking stupid
and then sangjo gets locked up for we don’t know how many years, then he comes back at the end and they have the most weird reunion? we don’t even get to see them as a proper couple with all of their secrets out, it’s incredibly disappointing for a story whose plot had sm potential. the execution was incredibly poor. ALSO GIWOO IS STUDYING TO BECOME A POLICE OFFICER BUT HES OKAY WITH DATING A THUG HELLO? and his judgment is absolutely shit, he literally trusts anyone how is my child gonna survive now that he’s actually an officer (him slipping on the romance after getting shoved doesn’t help his case either)
what a bullshit ass ending. the majority of the story was so slow and going in circles at one point, then it decides to actually pick up right at the end and then end it abruptly altogether? mc was harsh for no reason too and the ml was too overbearing. not to mention it was never revealed to the mc what happened those two years ago and we didn’t even get a single chapter of them actually together. got some poorly done, dramatic ending and a half-assed confessed. very frustrating read, don’t waste your time
this story was genuinely bullshit and written by yet another bl author who has a rape fetish. and the fact that kangwoo is worse than caesar from roses and champagne is what surprised me. not in the sense of violence bc caesar has done much worse to leewon, but in holding heewoon captive. like even caesar gave leewon more legroom which is crazy. don’t misunderstood me though, caesar is way more psycho than kangwoo though
i didn’t read the amnesia sides bc i knew it would just make me upset, so i waited until it was done so when i saw side 6: “the end” i clicked on it BUT IT WAS A LIE. and what is this bitch heesu being so pissy for?? he lost his memories, big whoop wtf is he treating saha like that for? fucking asshole treating saha like saha is the one who made heesu crash his car and lose his memories. i feel like any regular person who lost their memories and found out they had a partner would just be awkward and unsure, not angry. i mean we already knew from the main story, but this brah has one too many screws loose
i wanted to drop it within the first ten chapters, bc suho (seme) was so aggressive with his partners. sex like that is insane and he was so violent and coercive. then we meet yul (uke) and he was so annoying and mean from the start and for what??
it was genuinely so infuriating to read the first few chapters but by the time suho had fallen for yul and was being a ‘gentleman’, things were going great. then that fuckass sangwoo came in and yul was so annoying bruh. how is it that he could get jealous of suho and taejin, but he couldn’t see he was doing the same thing to suho??? and don’t get me wrong, i don’t like suho either but after they got into a relationship, he was less annoying
then after the bullshit with sangwoo, we get fucking suho coercing and raping yul?? like what was the fucking point of all of that and then he wants to regret it and cry about it after MAYBE DONT RAPE YOUR BOYFRIEND BC YOURE INSECURE AND JEALOUS???
after that we get jaehee coming back and he was SO annoying. and judging by the age of suho when jaehee left (suho was 20), it’s most likely that jaehee was a pedo preying on a teen since suho himself they’d be together for a few years and jaehee was already older than him. jaehee was just annoying asf too. like he put himself and his career and fame and money above suho, abandons him and comes back five years later just to abuse him??? IT MAKES NO SENSE
okay then at the ending was the dumbest fucking shit id ever seen. yul gets upset and acts like he’s gonna fucking die bc he saw jaehee kiss suho, MIND YOU BOTH OF THEM WERE COVERED IN BLOOD AND SUHO HAD A BROKEN ARM YOU COULD CLEARLY TELL HE WAS AT A DISADVANTAGE, and yul literally sees suho hit jaehee WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TOO and runs after yul but yul wants to act like an idiot. MIND YOU, sangwoo literally kissed yul not too long ago and he never even told suho. so according to yul, other men can force a kiss on him but when it happens to suho, then he’s obviously cheating?? what fucking sense is that
OH AND ALSO, i think it was in chapter 58 where yul said suho had told him “i love you” for the first time, BUT IT WASNT. suho used it in text messages before AND in one of the chapters when suho broke his arm and yul was taking care of him, they were having sex, and suho was behind yul and said it to him.
don’t even get me started on the side couple with that idiot minjae always making moves on a drunk, unconscious person urgh
also the art at the start was ICK. i read this whole thing out of boredom and interest, but it was genuinely such a waste of time. if you’ve made it this far into my rant, please don’t waste your time. the only people worth reading this for is suho’s brother and yul’s family friend and they don’t even show up that much either
i need to crack this guy’s head open like a coconut and rewire his brain
but mugo and elder mugo are the oldest 21/20 year olds i’ve ever seen in a manhwa thus far
yes yes, i know it’s an au blah blah blah, i just thought it’s funny that they aged them down significantly but kept the exact same character design and didn’t try to make them appear younger at all
they’re not that bad, i’d put mugo at 26+ and it’s elder mugo’s glasses that make him look so ancient. monster mugo is a cutie as always
yeah he probably blew up like that bc he feels betrayed or smth about how he liked jiwon first blah blah blah blah but time and place bruh? we all know he’s not homophobic, but way to make everything about you thats so irritating. he needs to learn how to read the fucking room
i love them so bad ohmygoodness
but with the amount of misunderstandings and stupidity, i wanted to take both seong-ah and woo-yeol’s heads and crack them in half like a coconut, and then take my head off my body and slam it against the wall like a basketball
genuinely, 100 chapters of this was exhausting (not in a bad way) at every corner was another plot twist or something gone wrong, i was so anxious LIKE JUST GIVE THEM THEIR HAPPY ENDING ALREADY
my only critiques would be:
1. the rape HELLO??? was all of that necessary?? and it went completely ignored after and they all just accepted daewoo like nothing. wow, yet another author with a rape fetish as we don’t have enough of them already. so disgusting
2. the parents moving in with them in the same house. bro wheres the privacy. yes i understand their kid has been missing for 15 long years, but come on, him and his husband deserve some privacy too. ik it wasn’t the parent’s decision, it was woo-yeol’s but the author hello? you could’ve chosen another route
wish there was more of a chasing arc ngl
kei just hated hiro from the jump, and even when hiro would give kei space, kei was the one to make the first move like calling him cute, doing whatever the hell that was in the cave, jumping hiro when he was drunk etc and all the while he was angry at hiro and for what?? like if you don’t like the guy and if he was being pushy and forceful, i completely get it like screw hiro but hiro didn’t even do anything except have a crush
definitely needs side stories, and i hope we get a spin off of yoogang and the bodyguard guy. plus, yoogang’s eyes are also amber/yellow like jigang so that means him and the bodyguard got down and dirty (my point is it wasn’t just some contractual/partners of convenience arrangement)
i loved this story but i think the conflicts were resolved fairly quickly THIS ISNT ME SAYING I WANTED YEONWOO OR JIGANG TO SUFFER, but both with the stupid fucking abusive geezer and the spirits was solved with the power of love/power of friendship type but at the end of the day who am i to complain when we got a green flag couple who are absolute cuties and they got their happy ending. hope we get side stories i cant get enough of their story - also, i do want side stories about yeonwoo’s friend and that cafe guy, and yeonwoo’s cousin and his friend from the start
theres so many people complaining about the people complaining it’s irritating
1. so what if theo is a green flag in world of black flags? apparently, you can’t critique inconsistencies and nonsensical parts if the top isn’t a rapist??
i don’t understand why he disappeared for 7 years. didnt he say he did that so he can sustain isaac and himself, and he didn’t give isaac a way to contact him bc it would make him lose resolve and he’d drop everything and run to isaac? but that’s exactly what he did after his father died. he told his older brother bye and disappeared for months. mind you, hes being sustained by his older brother too so genuinely what was the point of him disappearing on isaac for 7 years if theo cant support himself if his brother isn’t supporting him? it makes no sense
2. no, we aren’t critiquing the british bc we’re used to american you fool. i’m not american, but my country was colonised by britain so i use british-english, so naturally i would prefer the language and tone used in this story no? the problem everyone is having with this is the unnatural old british slang thrown in. it’s not consistent. i’m not sure what time period this was set in, but aside from the random old-timey british slang thrown in here and there, their way of speaking is modern hence why it feels off and why a lot of people are picking on the ‘british accents’.
overall i did like the story but it was far too short, and most times in these short stories, there are many plot holes and inconsistencies and that was no exception here. like i’d love to know more about the eldest brother and his wife, as well as the second brother. and obviously i’d kill for fifty more side stories about my babies theodore and isaac, and ofc a spin off about james
who cares about these gays (me) GIVE ME EUNSEONG “idc if the strap fake, nut in me” !!
