Hmmm... this comment/topic would get so much hate but it's been itching for a long time (and getting worse today) so I need to let it out.
I don't like the female lead.
She's always been on the receiving end. It's always Doo-joon who initiates things. Always Doojoon who gives something.
But romance doesn't work that way. It needs effort from both sides. And if we talk about personal reasons, I can't help but feeling pissed looking at that kind of person—because I don't take people for granted, I will definitely give feedback and keep the balance, I repay people's kindness with what they deserve.
She has reason(s?) to be reluctant, she always acts that way, but when the romance gets heated up, she longs for it and melted into it? Just how phony can she be? She's just using the male lead, that way... :(
I know this kinda stories are well-liked because it's... y'know... "convenient" for the ladies. Something out of a fairy-tale. The cinderella trope where FL gets all the finest thing in a man: loving, handsome, rich, honorable, etc. etc. etc. and without so much effort. (Just fuck with him once and suddenly he's head over heels for her.)
She is like the princess most girls wanted to be.
Sure she's sympathetic at times, or cool, but most of the time she just annoys me. I don't really see other qualities worth to simping over.
Tbh other than Doojoon's devotion, there aren't many interesting/lovable traits from him either. He's so plain....
In conclusion, it's just another typical josei romance or low-rated romance Korean drama—aside from the unique premise where the FL is already pregnant. The plot is so-so and the characters are too cliché.
Another story made just for the sake of entertainment. No "real story" beneath the story. Definitely not an "art".
Well, I do have high (or uncommon) standards about stories and characters... so that's why I am such a picky reader, and rarely satisfied with what I read.
I want to drop it but I'm staying for Doojoon's niece... I just want to know how things between her and her neighbor oppa/childhood friend/sunbae will work out. They're another cliché pair, but at least their relationship isn't toxic/no one takes advantage of the other one.
I completely agree, the Female Lead is wayy too poker faced. And like sure she has had some traumatizing events on love- or whatever- but with how Doojoon had treated her it only makes sense for her perspective of love to have already began to change (at a faster pace that is...) it is really annoying I agree, I wish she’d just open up more and take that first step rather than let the Male Lead do all the moves.
As a person who had some similar childhood experience as the female lead, i can confidently say her personality makes sense. Living with a mother like her who doesn’t show much affection can distort the way u express and view love. Your view of the female lead is heavily subjective. Everyone will probably act different if they were put in her shoes. She’s the female lead not us. Also she doesn’t take advantage of the male lead that much, she refuses his gift nor does she use his name to get out of situations. But you are right she’s way too passive when it comes love. And people get irritated with that. People like her tend to not correct misunderstandings or communicate their feelings well. So the other party -male lead- often has to solve those problems.
When it comes to male lead, we see that he had a very loving family. He can confidently show his feelings because he had loving parents. Most people develop their love language with the image of their parents in mind(unconsciously). As you said he is the one who always initiate, which also makes sense.
I do agree that there are a lot of plot holes in this story tho. Its very rare to find cliche novels that are written well. The good ones tend to be one of the first novels in their categories.
I just don’t like the fact that she doesn’t even try! Like couples are supposed to be working together! She claims that “she didn’t receive that much affection from her mom so she’ll be different” but doesn’t make an effort to be?? I’m just staying to see the cute baby and hot ml (〜￣△￣)〜
No.
1. First of all they weren't a couple. They had a one night stand and she got pregnant. He just so happens to be a handsome guy and rich. But imagine this, you have sex with someone in the bar, and everyone suddenly expects you to love him or even "try". Bitch I came for some dick in my vag and not some romance. I practically just got over my long time crush.
2. Unlike the female lead, the male lead did not have a long time crush to get over from so it's easy to transition into loving the female lead, which to be honest, is more fishy. They just had sex for crying out loud.
3. The FL is from a broken family so obvi she's not trusty of love OR marriage. Bitch, she even found out her long time crush has been playing with other women. Sucks to be her.
4. She has more realistic flow of emotions that the ML tbh. This all happened in less than a year. Girl, even long time sweethearts break up after a long time. What do you expect.
"Ma'am, did my mom abandoned me?", the calm and collected yound Heewon said. If that doesn't answer why the FL is being who she is, I don't know anymore.
It may not come across as her doing the effort but that she went along with everything. With people like the FL, there's always going to be that half foot inside, half foot outside, ready to run when they are truly hurt. It will take a long time to open her heart and make her initiate things.
I know Joonghyuk is beautiful. I read it like a hundred times in the novel. But it was bearable. I can continue reading just fine, immersed in the story withiut feeling distracted.
But reading the manhwa is a completely different experience!
Everytime Joonghyuk appears... I just--just... I don't know.... His beauty is so fucking unbearable, I'd involuntarily scroll upwards just to see him one or two more time, and then stuck there for a while, just staring at him. Sometimes thinking about his hardships as the loneliest man in the world of Ways of Survival.
Everytime I see him, I just feel this weird feeling clenching my heart, a feeling I can't comprehend. He's just too beautiful.... I really can't describe it other than how "unbearabe" his beauty is.
Dkhfdjhfdihf you're a simp for joonghyuk as well??? Lol
Lol I simp for BOTH Dokja and Joonghyuk.
It's just that Joonghyuk hits differently in the manhwa due to the visual. (ಥ‿ಥ)♡
And because he doesn't appear often in the earlier chapters... seeing him always feels like a fresh experience haha.
Wow, I have became so old waiting for this to be updated... finally.
Welp... that Gift woman is basically a god for being able to create real humans....
yep lol
I HAVEN'T READ THIS IN 7 WEEKS.... AND NOW THAT I COME BACK.....
AAAAAAAAAGGHHHHH KATSUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I KNEW IT!!!
Kizu Natsuki sensei's stories feel so much like something a Cancer would write! So heavy with emotions and heartbreakingly beautiful
And it's possible how her fondness towards Oikawa begun from the relatability, because Oikawa also feels so much like a Cancer (and is actually one!).
Ahh, anyways, I'm just grateful she exists in this world, and I get to live in the same era as her. Her stories are breathtaking. I love her works, her soul, and all the sincerity she puts into each one of her stories....
Just— Daaaammmnn.... I can never be not in awe everytime I talk about Kizu Natsuki sensei
So, I know the author as a fanartist long before they started as a BL mangaka. A Haikyuu fanartist, to be exact.
And because they started as a fanartist and doujinshika, their works are so obvious... like, the mangas they make feel too much like a doujinshi.
The no-rule, no-theory, unrealistic aspects in the storybuilding... like they just put in whatever they want, whatever they like, all their kinks, and not really care where the story goes and whether it makes sense or not, just as long as it's smutty and they're satisfied while making it......
I have followed them since a long time ago and always love their drawings, but that doesn't mean I'd love the stories they make, too.
To me, as a storyteller and a writer, this story is just sooo fucking ... hhhh I can't even find a word to describe it.
Just nope. Really, nope. I don't get how a story like this could pass the editorial and get published. (Well, no matter the story, BL has a huge market so maybe that's that....)
Anyways, If you're looking for a good read, this is a complete time wasting.
Harsh, I know, I'm sorry....
Sorry I accidentally liked!! (╬￣皿￣)凸
I enjoyed the story and I think everyone should read it
Also I have no fucking clue what this person was trying to say ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I agree, the art's amazing. It really is, which is why I clicked it in the first place but the story is so-so. It's a decent read if you're after the smut, but story alone is not memorable.
We simply aren't the target audience I suppose. Doesn't mean I wouldn't read their other works tho, cause I believe y'never know what you'll get less y'dive into it
LOOOL
You know, I did get a sense that this felt kinda like a doujinshi...
Maybe the artist is still trying to figure out what their writing style is and this is one of her first new works...?
^ This, they could still be in the experimental stage (works in this stage are still not the best, plot-wise.) Their work still deserves to be given a chance cause it does have potential. But if they are trying to pursue this type of quick read smut, that's perfectly fine too
Imagine had the audacity to critique somebody works on illegal site. LoL
So, I'm here again, suddenly in the mood to read this after more than a year.... And it's still not updated. Why :(((
I've been reading this since vol.1 was released and dying to read the continuation, its one of my favorites
I'm rooting for them. Makes me sad reading the spoilers..........
It's rare for me to actually like both of the main characters. This manga is just *that* good hhhhhh........ I'm so sad :"((((
DAAAAMMNNNN at first I was amazed by the theories and the sense of irony in it.
But then it got darker and a lot sadder........... I just can't— our good boys Eunjae and San, their unfortunate "curse", and their loss.... Noooo why do you guys always break my heart....
I remember feeling so relatable and heartbroken and cried so much on Season 1, especially because the deep elaboration on mental health problems. And now it's being repeated again here in 2nd Season.
I mean... HOW CAN SOMEONE EATING AN ICE CREAM MAKES ME FEEL SO SAD THAT I CRY OVER IT INSTANTLY??? (இдஇ; )
