I do not hate it nor do I love it, but I am enthralled by their relationship. To a reader (generally speaking), the slow build up of imprint by the stalker has less impact than to the actual MC. That's why even if it is predictable for Hyungsung to be dependent on his stalker and the stalker becomes too attached to Hyunsung, they're relationship still ends up being ambiguous. The thoughts of Hyunsung are merely his own conscious perspective which the stalker has reminded to be very much subjective (a conscious choice of how to interpret a situation).

But what of the change in Hyunsung as he rope his stalker back to his side? Hyunsung wanted to break his stalker's tenacity, but Hyunsung hesitates and chose to let him go. The pity he feels is foreign for someone who wanted his stalker to suffer. He consciously chooses to percieve it as pity and decides to make their relationship "work". He is frightened by his stalker's sincerity which is different from the first fears he had against his stalker. Pitying your stalker while being frightened by his sincerity are like proof of what his stalker was telling him. Hyunsung kept rejecting to accept his stalker but now, by pity or fearing sincerity, he really didnt have any choice but to accept his stalker.

His stalker may be broken, possessive, and obsessed but he did rip Hyunsung of any choice but accept him. He might not be having the same playful fun but he did get what he want while losing himself in Hyunsung.

He lost his heart to Hyunsung. Hyunsung lost his "freedom" to his stalker. (Lowkey proud of this interpretation)

Wrapping my head around the latter episodes is intriguing and albeit confusing. However, it becomes easier for me to accept the twisted plot when the damage and conflict are centered on the concerned parties instead of roping in an unnecessary number of people besides themselves. It sounds cruel but that makes the conflict and consequences easier to isolate.

Man, when I was 12 and reading on mangazone, this was among the first mangas I've read (▰˘◡˘▰). Koujirou made me want to dye my hair red (cause I'm brown lels) and since I've already been in love with Barbie, I had a new image of mermaids (even if I cant swim (￣∇￣"))

Lau is just so sexy ~
And Kou is so fine ~

At first I was hesitant because Minjae caught feelings too quickly and even when their bodies switched, they were very much conscious of each other's soul than looking at their face and body like lucid dreaming. I mean, come on, wouldn't you look at your own body and at least freak out. Also, i feel bad cringing on the reality show created for this hehe, but the old couple was humorous.

But by the 2nd season, the 1st season made more sense and there weren't much plot holes to be wary off except that the pacing was quick. I'm glad the author held on to this story to the extent of going to Australia. This may be supernatural but it gave that element of learning about Australian aboriginals (of this I don't have knowledge of). The author took the opportunity to broadcast queer love as something as normal as binary relationships. The wedding scene really grabbed my heart because it wasnt used as another obstacle, rather an opportunity which Minjae's sister and Woochan took.

The ex gf was an addition/link rather than a reincarnated existence and she's frustrating. From beginning to end, there wasn't anything redeeming about her beyond letting Minjae and Woochan meet. She was simply the manifestation of ambition, ego, and revenge.

Still, it's fun to have a refreshing take on reincarnation. Like, enemy to friend and student to teacher. Even if Choi did end up to be the same rival who wanted to separate them, he was aware of his limitations. I'm also happy that the wedding didnt involve anything life threatening, but was more of a challenge that queers really do have to confront–society. Judgement and rejection, the sort which a conservative society choose to do. The old couple is a nice addition, too. Like, at first it's the husband adjusting to his wife's taste. Then at the end, the husband made his wife understand that same sex marriage has surfaced already (even if this is rare for the earlier generation to understand).

I'm in love with this story

For someone who worries about others he doesnt really care much about these "others". Yeon kept throwing himself in danger and feel bad when someone else receives the danger because of him. Let's thrive not to make "worrying others" an excuse to meet a potential threat without planning to keep yourself safe.

If he's had an experience where someone begs him to die with with them, then he'd be smart enough to be wary of those who obsess over him. He is "cursed" yet expects others to be rational with him. That ex band member of his fed him cookies with glass shards and threw acid on him (even if Taeho received it), so why does he expect him to someone you could negotiate with?

Also, the whole conflict and dialogue between them was chaotic and Yeon (who is troubled by his curse) does not even think it to be the reason why his ex band member js acting this way.

This is the author's first published work so I hope they'd be more consistent next time. If the curse produces conflicts, then at least make the curse relevant and don't let the MC forget about it after basically blaming the curse.

This whole mess is a misunderstanding turned into an opportunity. Andy is by far my favorite character which doesnt really imply that the rest were admireable. Jesse is an egoist with daddy issues. Chase is an orphan who is too manipulative and flirty for his own good, but he's kinda the "dream wife" I think? Good with chores and a seductress? Joel? Haaa... Joel doesnt act his age and is more likely to be the most immature in the bunch. He is protective, yeah. But more like controlling because he really does only care about reputation. He even made Jesse his enemy just cause he didnt like being responsible for Jesse's problems. He wanted a "perfect son" who didnt trouble him and when he learned that Jesse was gay he made it seem like a "parenting mistake". He's favoring Chase, too, and going to "dates" with him like a son even while Chase assumed otherwise. Joel is sulking because Jesse isn't being "cute", pfft.

Nah, Chase is flirty and all but he deserves someone else. Being with Joel is really like the puppy love type of relationship. Joel may be acting all mature and wanting to spend his love life through the ups and downs, but I'd rather he learn to be an actual father first. Besides, Jesse is the one adjusting and bridging the gap while his father thought of him to be troublesome. Joel blamed Jesse for all the things he had to suffer from, even the reason why he can't date Jesse. Like, why the fuck does he question Jesse's sexuality while also blaming him because he can't date Chase (a boy and as old as his son??)


The plot was dramatic during their conflict but Joel wouldnt even say sorry to Jesse and communicate his "hardships". Jesse contronted Joel several times, Joel HAD SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO BE A FATHER. Dumbass.

Okay... Okay... So a few days passed after that night and now Ed is going to Glenn, ready to re establish their relationship. But Chang re appears with that pathetic desperation apparent in his actions. And the trio are about to collide.

Wait a damn minute... Did I skip an episode? Why is there a drastic change in pace? Im glad and all that Ed is ready to rekindle the fire but the how Chang is easily brushed off without the classic persistence and bruteness of his is unnatural. Besides, if Chang and Glenn did end up fighting and something happened which triggered the sudden mellowed Chang, I hoped it had been fleshed out first before Ch57...

I did expect Ed to be hesitant because he had to straighten some facts with Chang but I guess it went more of an emotional and mental recalibration. And i guess by straightening some facts, the words Ed told Chang at the hotel after the assault was the end of it... That by now, he's going to let Chang suffer from his own new found feelings.

（￣へ￣）(〜￣△￣)〜 ┗( T﹏T )┛ okayyy fine, let me hope for a fleshed out episode to justify these turn-tables

The tag is there for a reason (to those looking for bed scenes). If your prefer the sex or just expect the couple to have sex, click on yaoi.

From what I've noticed, Shounen ai manhwa's are good with plotting relationships and complex human characteristics. They compensate on the lack of steamy sex by making the plot more interesting. And though this might have been just the lack of manhwa experience (since I've read more mangas than manhwas), yaoi-tagged manhwa's are just porn with a story line.

To be honest, a story built on fan service often overlook the importance of the plot. That's just my take

Zero was a real zero huh. It's a little troubling to witness how Love was cornered by Zero, but more so when Love is the honest type who is easily misunderstood yet unable to grasp who he is. He doesn't want to be manipulated but the moment you lose sight of yourself or the identity you perceive yourself, the easier it is for you to be manipulated. Friendship really is calculative in its negative connotation. However, when distinct identities click and build a relationship on trust and respect, then that would be the purer sense of friendship. It isn't like Zero's networking manipulation to pull strings as to make others do his bidding. It isn't the sort to weigh heirarchies with.

Peach Club shows the positive side of friendship, the sort to rely on trust (which Minimi realizes). They knew Love was hiding something (morbid as it was, too, but i this is a gang story so... ) but they trusted Peach's decision. Then when Love really joined, Kid and King trusted on the projected personality Love showed them. I mean, stabbing someone is more criminal that beating up people (to me). Also, I'm glad Love found his people to the point of brushing of Zero in the end. I expected a more dramatic re encounter but that wouldnt be as impactful as simply turning a blind eye on someone who's existence mattered so much before

Jaehyun is hyper aware of people and the trauma made him overlook the fact that he was tricked. The pacing of how he and Eunsung dealt with with Junwoo wasnt as rushed as I thought. The author didnt make Jaehyun get over it all of a sudden, he was simply taking courage to confront the future which he feared. This is manifested in season 2 which makes their wedding even more impactful. For someone who feared being rejected, he chose to be acknowledged. For someone who feared to be left behind, he chose to build himself away from Eunsung.

This fits the standard of making a loveable man. Jaehyun is loved not simply because he is the main character but because he is worth loving, even if not romantically. Im glad that Saewon built herself back up and told Jaehyun not to pity Junwoo. Also, the only reason I know as to why it is justifiable for Jaehyun to let Junwoo enter his life even if it is merely for an apology is because he is no longer held back by him. This time he has Eunsung to lean on and he has built himself through his own capabilities.

This one is more personal and emotional (you can stop reading) : I am unforgiving. I do not forgive because the pain is neither compensated by support nor self-esteem. The strength to forgive comes from the confidence of being able to let go because you have something to look forward to. And right now, I have none but my past to cling unto. That's why as happy as I am throughout this series, I can only admire these characters while I wallow for myself. Nonetheless, this offers a sense of peace that there can be a future if I can muster the courage to keep moving forward.

Away from the dragged out emotions (albeit the second couple took 6 years running away from each other).

Away from rivalries (since it the cousin was only clingy and the author didn't abuse the idea of Jiho's jealousy and simply made Yuri happy ).

Away from dramatic actions (the 2nd couple ran away from each other but they didnt hurt each other needlessly, Jeungmin wasn't that stubborn against Jiho as well).

Away from the harsh homophobia I've seen to be the go-to conflict (even if the ukes were baffled, weirded out and wanted to choose the safe way out).
