I HATE THEM SO MUCH WHY ARE THEY SO SWEET UGHHHHHSH. They're at the end of highschool too and are leading such a sweet life. its everything one could ever want and it sucks to know that my days of that teenage life are completely over. These two triggered my sorrow of growing up by being just so goddamn sweet.
This is awesome, love that there's some plot too and that side characters are pretty decent. I really hope they're vers, there needs to be atleast one manhwa that also has a decent plot containing vers characters.
I thought this was going to be another irrationally possessive typical lame asf BL. But they have perception skills? They gauge each others feelings pretty decently even though they don't exactly communicate? They're acting crazy but they're self aware that it's crazy and they're aware of what normalcy looks like? What is this, is this heaven? God I love them both so much.
Even halfway through i was frustrated with him being a 17 year old. I mean they could've made him 19 or 20 and it still would essentially be the same story but somehow magic happened towards the end and this manga made me completely fall in love with it despite all that. There is literally so much crazy shit going on that if it was another manga, it would've been way too over the top and unbelievable. But here, somehow everything is handled so good despite the crazy shenaningans. The author really knows just what type of crazy shit to bring up so that it tugs on your heartstrings and tearducts istg. It's just magic. The characters all have over the top crazy backstories but are all handled so well gosh i love it. I loved the side character romances too maybe even more than the main ones, they made me cry out of wholesomeness.
I already read this authors work of that married couple who's awkward with each other on reddit and holy shit, this mangaka is really really good with wholesome adult relationships. Love it, truly.
I can see why people like this so much but I've been putting this off for so long that when reading it, i feel like should've just kept it on my tbr instead of reading. Like fine whatever, its cute and all but like what do these people have against abortion istg. Romance manhwa is my safe space, i don't want to see the same RW narrative here too. Abortion is not immoral, pro choice always, I'm glad that the FMC here wants to keep it and is happy with that but I hate how they're subtly making abortion to be this immoral thing.
It's funny how even in his past life and here MC is the one who's getting all the main fame and the rest are only getting the scraps of the fame. Yet, this is so enjoyable i love it. They've finally done a power fantasy that doesn't get old.
Just pure fluff, im glad for them. Non problematic besties, literally a huge marshmallow.
I finished it. It's ofcourse a wholesome ending, both seem to know each other's head better now due to ~communication~ but I would've loved to actually see that. All this tension, all this obsession, I'd have loved to see all that come to a crescendo and have jung see it all laid before him. Yknow a passionate convo where he sees just how much he mattered to soohyun. But oh well whatever, it was fine i suppose. Im gonna go read fanfiction now to get my fix of that :/
This one was good. Yohan was a tiny bit weird and iffy at times but it was easily overlookable and it overall ended on a pretty healthy note. These extras however, are going to the sequel route where the relationship is just crazy dysfunctional.
Mugyeong brings up perfectly reasonable points that will in the end probably be brushed off by the power of love instead of them having a serious conversation and overcoming these insecurity issues rather than treating it like a cute personality trait.
I'm fairly certain either the author has a thing for obsessive partners and their reluctant acceptors or the editor/producer does. Because there is no reason a person who knows exactly why this is dysfunctional and aknowledges it IN THE MANHWA would go on and do it anyway other than it being a personal thing for them.
Like it's one thing to pass this off as romantic from the get go which is what a lot of manhwas do and a completely different thing to list out the exact reasons why this is bad and then go on and not overcome it in any real way.
Clearly I'm still not over reading form of sympathy and the frustration it brought me.
I'm so in love with how carcel is slowly melting her supposedly cold heart just by the sheer amount of love he has for her. He's so in love with her I just cannot. The way she couldn't help but hug him, the way she's finally having someone affirm her interests instead of telling her she shouldn't be doing that as it doesn't conform to societal norms. God I love this, nature is healing.
I was about to say this is toxic but I think dysfunctional af is better fitting. Yuri is so codependent on seonwoo, it's fucking crazy. I feel so pitiful whenever I see him begging him to not go yet at the same time he's such a controlling bastard that it's as if he jumped straight out of an abuse commerical.
This turned out to be so absurd ngl. It had real potential, the backstories were great and nuanced, the side characters were great, the situations were realistic. Yet, instead of Yuri resolving his codependent attachment with his sister and mending his relationship with his other sister and seeking out seonwoo in a healthy way as opposed to what he has been used to so far (which is how I expected it to go) this manhwa doubled down on his codependency.
The epilogue chapters are not a happy end but rather seem to be straight out of an example present in a really basic abusive relationship guidebook. All I get is that the author has a thing for obsessive relationships because I can't for one second believe that someone who's actually capable of all the nuanced dialogues given here would fr think what we're being shown is a healthy relationship.
Yuri pisses me off cuz he's triggering with his controlling behaviour but like he needs help. He's literally self destructing being with someone he's so emotionally dependent on. He literally went and got hit to be manipulative like that's crazy damaging to seonwoo yes, but also to himself!!! He goes on and on about how others shouldn't neglect themselves for him but this bitch is literally doing that himself.
Meanwhile seonwoo got out of a depressive period just to enter a stifling, restrictive and manipulative relationship. Truly taking Ls after Ls. If this was real life, I don't think he'd be weirdly happy like in the manhwa, and even if he was, it'd be a manic, he's not okay type of happy not the peaceful kind of happy.
They could've fleshed out yohan and yuris friendship by them somehow being vulnerable with each other and acknowledging how much they care about each other, instead dit all just stayed very surface level, that's a plotline missed. The angry sister could've been used way better too, she was completely sidelined at the end. God, so much wasted potential even when the author is clearly capable of such nuanced and non surface level plot development and dialogues.
