I came to check out this story after reading “If you Hate Me So”, the other story by this author. Because even though I don’t think the story was bad, the ratings were low and the comments were so critical of it. At the end of that manwha, one of the couples (Hye-sun and Dojin) don’t really get a happy end. But then I saw comments praising this manhwa, and that this story was where the characters have a happy ending, so I decided to give it a try.
The ratings and the praise for this manhwa is very high, so I was really looking forward to it. Especially bc soo many people hated “If You Hate Me So” and I rather liked it. So I was slightly disappointed. The main reason for hate in “If you Hate Me So”, at least as far as I know, was due to the rape of the uke in the beginning. That was something I hated too, but I also hate to say that it wasn’t that surprising to me since it is normal in yaoi manga. That definitely doesn’t make it okay, but if you’ve been reading it for a while, as I have, it’s just not that shocking. (They really should stop making stories with that though.)
SO imagine my surprise when the same thing happens here?? I thought: “there is no way that all the people complaining and hating on the other story because of the rape, are loving this??” But I was so curious bc let alone those comments, this manwha has been popular and viral for a long time, I just never got around to reading it. So I thought I just had to finish it. Because there must be something redeeming about this story. The love must be so epic that it’s making everyone not upset about the start of their relationship.
This story was not my cup of tea to put it nicely. Till the end I found not one thing nice about their love story. EXCEPT for the baby (SO CUTE!) Everything about their love felt one sided and forced on the uke, he did get slightly better at the end but was still so mean? I mean I guess valid considering how their relationship started, but then just don’t be that person at all?? Idk I just like to feel the love in a LOVE STORY?? This is no hate to anyone. The author did an amazing job and everyone has their preferences. Which is why I must say, I loved “If you Hate Me So” way more.
