Leaving this topic comment here so if I decided to come back and give this another try, I can easily see it.
But no, srsly, for a vampire concept, it gets boring easily. The plot can literally work without the vampire theme, they should have utilized that concept more by world building. It's such a waste of opportunity to just use it as a side idea for the story to go on. If you try to remove the vampire elements, you could literally substitute it for something more normal and the story would still work, and that isn't supposed to happen if the concept was utilized properly. Dropped this in chapter 23, I can't feel any chemistry between the couples as well so I got easily bored with it.
Dayum they look like beefleaf so much. I really thought it was he xuan with de-aged shi qingxuan
Let's all be real. Gunchan saved everyone in this story. If Elian didn't fall in love with this straightforward man, every single character would have been dead. I love his resting bitch face yet he's got that shap tongue as sharp as his intuition. I also love how he exploited minhoon and hyungwoo's lovestory as a payback from the 15 years of stress these two had given him. I'm rooting for his life goal of turning the mother of their group, jisoon, into a kin to become immortal.
My second GOAT is minhoon. He just exudes this sexy power aura whenever he enters the frame. More power to him. More power to these bottoms! HOWEVER! It baffles me how minhoon managed to balance out his work in the filming set as the production manager and their kin management plans. Do you have any idea how stressful being a production manager is!? It's the worst ever, especially with their large scale production and out of the country location, plus these vampires causing lots of delay in the shoot. I probably would have gotten some brain nerve damage after the production.
PS: in every single time they postpone or delay their shoot, there is also a crying assistant director at the corner.
I forgot the name of that manhwa or manhua that has a very pretty white long-haired bottom that turns into a snake. Pls help me find it ╥﹏╥
If you like this concept, you'll like the second couple. Don't let the other comments change your mind. I like wonho and eunwoo's story a lot. I think with how complicated they made things are, their story became more intriguing for me. They're not supposed to be likeable, but a representation of realistic toxic people, and real people are far more complicated than it should be bc we always make bad decisions. Same goes for these characters. I absolutely hate cheaters, however, in wonho's story, there is more to it. It's not like he's having sex with these people for fun, it's just that his passion for acting turned into greed and that's another mistake he had made because that made him sacrifice his self, his relationship, and minki.
Anyway, I just love how complicated they are as a character. And if you're gonna argue with my comment, all I can say is you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me, no matter what you would say, you cannot change my mind as I am aware of their flaws and I accept them as it is.
I busted my eyes by crying so hard because of these two. They're probably the best brothers I've ever encounter in my entire life. And Euihyun deserves more pampering, he had been through a lot. I wish for more Taeju spoiling Euihyun especially in his pregnancy in their upcoming side story.
Why am I only discovering this now? I remembered seeing this story way WAY back when it was still ongoing and I just saw this again ㅠㅠ this is really cute. The art is really cute. And the stories were also cute
I thought Juyeon would be a psycho manipulative killer who is obsessed with Dojin. I'm sorry Juyeon for misjudging you. My bad, bro.
I started reading this bc I saw the word "film director" in the summary do I knew I just had to check it out. And I didn't expect to love it. This is one of the few manhwas with misunderstanding trope that I don't hate. With their characteristics, it's already been establish that their relationship and their story isn't gonna go smoothly. JJH is a certified overthinker and you would get why. It hurts to be in his shoes as he feels guilty and hurt and confused. He kept rejecting affection and love because that feeling was too foreign for him and it scared him. While YHG/YHK didn't want to tell him the truth about his feelings when JJH first asked him was because it felt a little unfair to his side and plus the fact that even if he did confessed earlier, it,'s not like JJH would believe him anyway. His anxiety to lose JJH was also completely valid to his character as social class structure was already established from the start.
I love stories that establish the settings and trope as earlier as the start so every thought, move, and decision from the characters were already backed up. To make it short, it got some good storytelling going on here as well as world building.
+ The smut was sexy as fuck jfc my imaginary dick went up a lot of times
Dayum I'm such a sucker for childhood friends to lovers I will puke rainbows after this. I love how they grow as an individual together, achieved their dreams together, and went through hardships together. This is the most unrealistic, fantastical, dreamy, whimsical story I've read. This is the perfect escape manhua if you want to forget about your reality and just want to feel super happy in life. I love them. I love this trope.
P.S: Ting-jiejie is my queen. I love her sm
There is something so annoying and mediocre about this story that also makes you so addicted and invested to it. It's like a meh food that got splashed with a handful of MSG, and now you find it soooo good and entertaining yet it annoys the fuck outa' ya bc you aren't supposed to like it that much.
OTHER THAN THE PLOT AND WORLD BUILDING, I LOVE IT WHEN THEY TURN INTO A BIRD THEYRE SO CUTE, MIGHT SQUISH. And Dojin the ghost caretaker, I love him whenever he takes care of Kid. Like he bought toys for her and made the whole living room her playground, I might actually cry he's so dad for that.
Chepali + Park Jiyeon collab? I will treasure this story with my whole life. I love them. I love this. I'm really inlove with park jiyeon's art and the way they visualize intimate scenes, explicit or not. Chepali's stories really don't leave plotholes and park jiyeon being involve in the storytelling is just *chef's kiss* I really love their works I will die for them.
Recommending my fave works by these two while I'm here:
- Wolf in the house
- Momentum
- Hyanghyeon text
Misha and Gian. Eric and Louis. These couples, I would actually die for them. I discovered this manhwa through wolf in the house and I swear, the author is just so good at creating real art. Each stories just goes right through my heart. The characters feels more alive than it should be. It's supposed to be a drawing damnit! Why am I attached now ㅠㅠ
It took me a while to look for this manwha again after forgetting the title so I'm gonna leave a topic comment here so I can go back whenever I want. This story probably got to be one of the best plot ever ngl. A little fast paced though I admit, but good lord it's so rare to find a story that has no annoying characters esp the main characters and their friends. I do love a good ol' mature peeps. I love the family theme as well so the story just doesnt revolves around the settings and their love story.
There is something about this story that seperates it from other stories. The way it was told was not something you would usually see in a bl manhwa. There is something that made it so vulnerable and real, as if Yeowoon was a real friend to me who is telling me his story. Reading this felt like watching a sunset at han river while having a deep conversation with an old friend with a stick of smoke between our lips. It's hard to really locate the right words for it, so all I can really say is it's an art. A real art. And for me, this is real. A real story I've heard in real world.
I know jaegun can fight but I CAN FIGHT TOO. SQUARE UP JAEGUN, I'LL WIFE JOOYOUNG UP. He's so effin' pretty, I'll kill for him ㅠㅠ I'll be your servant for the rest of my lowly commoner human life.
If we're going to talk about the flow of the story, I would say it's 5/5, in terms of characterisation based on humanistic traits, 5/5 as well. Jooin was an annoying mofo I admit, but his flaws is what made him human. We tend to get mad at the scenes where he just made all these sorts of wrong decisions, and that's because that's how we'll react in real life. If we see our friend making the obvious wrong decision, it just angers us, and we get angry at ourselves when it's us who were wrong. So getting mad at Jooin is valid. However, saying that the writing for his character was shit is I think, very wrong. We grow to love Cain because he's the most ideal (He's my fave, luv him so much), and that makes him more fictional. We tend to get attracted to beautiful things, and not the broken ones. So building a character like Jooin to show humanistic traits is quite good. Though that is just my opinion, but I really appreciate characters that are very flawed and very close to us in reality. I grew fond of Yahwi (I've been into my toxic era as well and still going for the better change) the same way I understand Jooin and I guess that's also why it makes more sense for them to get together, since I think we all agree that Cain is way better off without Jooin, lol he's too good for him tbf.
In terms of story, IT JUST GETS BETTER AT THE END. I really really really love how Jooin didn't pick between them during with all these chaos. At that time, he didn't deserve any of them, not even Yahwi since he was trying so hard for himself, so going with their own individual path was the best choice. I thought each and every one of these main characters need their healing time and boy, they sure did. Love the fact that they started again as a blank canvas, and this time, as better individuals so I feel no resentment towards any characters at the end.
What i could only wish was I hope Cain wasn't introduced that late because he seemed like a homewrecker while in fact his goals were just to stick with Jooin and protect him (He's a dog, of course he's protective) from the pain that Yahwi was causing. I personally do not like dogs but I can make an exemption.
Nothing about the goofy-no-plot-just-sex storyline but the character design makes it look like a mdzs fanfic lol. But of course lwj would treat wwx a 100x better than this :3
I NEED MORE JOOYUL AND EUGENE. I NEED MORE DOMINANT MEN TRYING TO TOP EACH OTHER AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.
Their dynamic is too good for it to end like that as sex buddies. I need to see their development. Jooyul's healing and them running far away for Eugene. Or maybe continue doing some underground business together as a couple. I WANT MORE OF THEM AAARRGGGHHHHH
On the other hand, the main couple is so green flag I love them so much please do not seperate them from each other.
