Meanwhile the whole time, I'm pretty sure he's a virgin hahahaha
I dont dislike the uke because he rejected Taiga. I dislike him Kei because of his attitude towards life. The reason why a lot of us felt that the ending was rushed or smth was missing is because they never really had Kei grow. Taiga was the only doing the growing and there's a lot of loose ends not tied.
1) Kei quit his passion and continues to run away from something he loves because he burnt out. And I get it - I'm a nurse with a Masters and didn't take a single break in between all the studying whilst also working. I know burn out. I've burnt out 3 times very severely. And I'm fully aware that giving up and doing other things is perfectly OK however, the manga made it a point to highlight the difference between Kei and Taiga. Taiga throws his entire self into what he does - he has a reckless and dangerous way of pursuing his passion; meanwhile Kei gives up quickly and runs. The author started Kei off as a flawed person (same as Taiga btw) but they half-assed him so he comes across as shallow and undeserving. That's also why many people dislike him even more when he rejected Taiga. His character was already hard to like.
2) i don't know if we all read the same thing but his reasoning for rejecting seme didn't make sense? I understand that he has trust issues (once again smth I relate hard to. I've been told I'm like a porcupine), but Taiga straight up confessed to him and laid out his feelings bare. He showed him what his exes never did in the past - a long, undying unrequited love that he's continued in the same way he holds his passion for acting AND Kei also acknowledges it. And Kei makes it a point to express that that is what he wants so why did he...reject? He could've asked Taiga to wait for him cause he's not ready etc. but instead he calls Taiga a liar; the author made it seem like Taiga half-assed the confession hence why Kei was insecure.
But then he flips on that on that ship ride to the island. That's another instance where ai think the story was just rushed in the end.
Overall, Kei's decision-making doesn't make sense. Taiga is a 3D character but Kei is very 2D. They didn't explore enough with him, let him grow, nor did they connect the plot point they laid out properly. It just...was a disappointing read overall. Especially cuz I loved the art and enjoyed the first few chapters. I liked Kei at first then he just didn't grow whilst persisting in this negative Nancy mindset until the very last chapter where, the immature Kei makes a decision unlike himself and makes it seem like he grew but in reality he didn't.
Also the ending was like ?? Taiga tied up his loose ends and wants to go overseas - does them getting together mean he's halted that plan? Once again, that would've required a few more chapters to come to a conclusion about.

I love the manager and handsome-kun BUT their dynamic deserves its own separate manga. It contrasts hugely to the vibe that this manga and the main couple give in general. Their relationship is more on the mature/passionate side. I'd classify it more as yaoi than shonen ai.
Author adding the 2nd couple now when the 1st couple aren't even a proper couple yet is...just going to draw the attention completely away.
Ngl, I really hope they didn't twinkify him in the side stories to make them "match" more. They're alphas and both males. I loved that Damon was actually sometimes beefier than Colton. Here's to praying and hoping
They match each other's freak huh? A very Caesar and Leewon esque relationship heheh
Can someone save seo yeon? Please? She doesn't deserve to be pulled along for this dumb ride.
I know everyone is saying he's trying to protect MC but uhh those reactions are in private, where MC isn't even present. He is absolutely pissed off and disgusted by the MC. Doesn't seem like pretense. This why I say love ain't real
So I the only one who always finds it hard to read portrayals of doctors or nurses cuz like...it'd so inaccurate??? (￣∇￣")
You're not really worried about your grades. You're just too anxious and afraid to get into a relationship. You're afraid to lay out your heart bare to someone else and you're too used to not being picked that the attention now is causing you to flee. You're me. And the solo life isn't bad but a day will come when the silence of the walls will echo loud and no amount of company with friends or family will fill the void.
It's true that the saying "right person, wrong time" exists but we live in a temporary world where some people don't even live past 20. It's best to jump into a relationship and pursue the people you wish even if heart break lies at the end of it. At least then you've lived life and are not left wondering "what if"
(I say all this but I still won't do it myself
I reread the last chapter just to check the sudden change and actually ML was thinking " I need to hide him so no one can get to him" and now he's shunning him and telling him he will get him out. I think it's a ploy. But if it isn't, we'll, f him.
~I'd let the world buuuuurn, I'd let the world burn for you~
So nothing changed from start to finish then? Seriously? That was the ending?
I don't yall. I work in healthcare and couldn't get past chapter 2. As a nurse, just imagining that kiss scene is like EEK FUCK OFF FUCK OFF. CODE GREY!
Yknow? Plus he's a surgeon, they don't really visit patients except for like, the big ward rounds. And there's many other doctors involved in the care so it's usually the residents or HMO who does it and reports to the surgeon. Plus ortho docs are often based in their ward and then go to OT for surgeries the offices are usually outside the ward or within the ward but closed off and you won't just find them walking around the hallways unless they're visiting patients or the nurses station.
My point is, this is super unrealistic. Also doctors don't change urinary catheters. A nurse does it. It's actually really easy.
Also, the nurses uniform with the makeup and stuff is like, so unrealistic hahaha. But then again, western nurses do everything and we don't have helpers to clean up patients etc
He didn't say it back....
Oh no...
Whyyyyy I thought we got over that hurdle
╥﹏╥
Call me a sore loser and an incel but ughh these BL mangas are making me realize I wasted all my time in high school, and then college and uni etc. Now I'm a full grown working adult with 0 dating past but a plethora of BL and romance mangas under my belt. I'm short, a weeb and an incel who earns money.
（/TДT)/
So he preyed and groomed innocent kids right out of high school. Even if they are legally adults, it's only barely. And he made them do all kinds of kinky sex against their wishes. So..WHERE IS THE JAIL?
Sigh...another day of authors putting casual rape in what could have been a normal relationship going through its ups and downs. Why? J.J being a character that cares so much about uke...I can't see him doing this. It's not adding to the plot line, neither is it a plot point. Why add the rape? And then they just move on without being traumatized like they weren't a victim to a crime
