grandpa is so selfish. a person should not live his life according to someone else's wishes. talk about guilt-tripping. y'know, not everyone grows up thinking that the point of living is to marry and have kids. i certainly was never raised that way, and even told my mom at 14 that i never wanted to have kids. i don't feel lonely or unfulfilled because of it, and she has never once made me feel bad for that decision (and she does come from an asian background).
what a wonderful read. it's such a satisfying feeling when the couple cherishes one another. now that misa tho...scum of the earth. i mean what a disgusting excuse of a human. we would all be so lucky to have a partner as kind as kashi-san. my heart broke for him - being so unappreciated. i hope her next bf treats her like shit. >:(
gosh i'm disappointed. sex doesn't solve anything. he was already in a hole. now this. urgh...
i mean i get that wonyoung wants to prove himself, and reassure taejoon that his feelings are real, but having sex is NEVER proof of love. sure it feels good, and it is almost impossible to fake pleasure, but in the end it is still just shallow physicality. of course i would be overJOYed to see them get back together, and i looong for them to consummate their relationship, but it hurts me to think THIS is how their first time together would be. it's painful and cringe-worthy (especially from taejoon's pov, since he's so devastated). it certainly won't be sexy or love-filled (which is what i would ideally hope for them). no, what wonyoung SHOULD do is quit that job and work hard to earn taejoon's trust back. i mean how can he be comfortable in his heart otherwise? :( this is truly a case of him wanting to "have his cake and eat it too", as cliche as that sounds. i really appreciate your comment tho, and do enjoy a good conversation about a potentially great manga. i do have hope that they will work things out. <3 if you've read "i have a boyfriend" you know that this author is SUPER talented at writing a healthy, loving relationship.
2 things i adored: 1) jihyung's innocent/earnest love for & genuine kindness towards howon (even if he was a total walking hormone, but that's how hs boys are i guess XD); 2) the ART my goddd THE ART.
2 things i disliked: 1) that howon's only worth was in "being pretty". really bugged me. that's just a downer and negative message to send readers; 2) introducing that random rape dream and then not addressing it. pretty much unnecessary to the plot. didn't affect the lovers in the end, so i didn't let it completely curb my enjoyment of the story.
all in all a good read, because there was a positive ending. now i just wanna know about the neighbors...please oh please let there be a manwha about them!!
aww i don't think he has to be a good actor at all. isn't sincerity (no matter how stupid or naive) better than being fake? sure, he's got a little growing up and learning to do, but his heart is in the right place. i hope arima can train him well, and also open up to him. i am also hoping that the possible sexual abuse/trauma or violence that the scanlators warned us of is not too severe. i really like the story and characters so far, so i hope it doesn't get too, too heavy. *crossing fingers*
*sigh* society is such a pain with all the constant labeling. all it does is narrow minds and possibilities/opportunities. especially gender roles.
