I've read the prologue, now where can I find the rest? Right now, I can't even complain too much because the title is basically satisfied. I now know how Shiwoon and Jun met.
Ch1. Meeting Him
Ch2. Parallel Worlds - - - > this one is missing. How do the worlds connect? How did Myung foreshadow Jun's transportation to the modern world? How does Shiwoon's brother fit in the picture?
I've had my share of k dramas where the MC is time travelling and those worlds connect in more ways than just a romantic trope. I refuse to accept that this story is complete. （￣へ￣）
Let me rant for a while. I love the start, y'know. It really gives me the vibes of confronting your fears and having to have hurt everyone until you stop running. I was going for that until bam! Contradictions started surfacing and I dont understand what the heck is happening except that Seth had a taste of his bittersweet first love.
Henry... You confusing son of a bitch. What is it really that kept you from loving Sam hmm? At first it sounded as if Sam was just dense and you wanted to be the typical "let him be happy without me but still glad he's by my side". Then Seth got roped in and suddenly you're actually guilty of having hurt Sam and wanted to go. AND THEN suddenly it's because you're just being delusioned about Sam and had been ignoring how obsessive he is about you. AND FUCKING FINALLY, it was because he was noncommittal but also that if you were to be lovers you might lose more than you can (aka being friends with him and having to lose the family youve found in his)
You knowing that Sam was actually in love with you WAS NOT a plot twist, it was a big "THE FUCK?"
You mean to tell me that all this was just because you seriously didnt know how to love and have been giving everyone (yourself, the readers (or maybe just me) , and the whole cast) a hard time understand what it really is that keeps you from straightening your relationship with Sam??? You dont seem to even know WHY you're running away.
I totally agree with you.
Henry is the archetypcial fuckboy you can find in any Asian love stories who gets rewarded in the end. And his ex-wife was really an ass towards Sam!
Why couldn't Sam end up with Seth? Second Lead Syndrome!
The author could have gave us a more progressive message.
Instead of saying that the true love is your childhood sweetheart, there are other people out there who can bring you more happiness.
I cant imagine Sam and Seth together but I get what you mean. Henry is like in a harem of his own and his personality is making it conflicting to accept. If there's one thing I found "moving or touching" was that he tried to fall in love with Seth, too. Then I realized how much of a jerk he was to drag Seth around while he's being unfair to Sam.
And I understand the last part right, I agree that both of them were stuck on each other and the plot didnt grow well. It was too centered on their past and it didn't feel like they matured at all. (except Seth, Seth really had a character development)
Maybe these two dickheads deserve each other after all.
Amen. I think you are the only one (or one of the fewest) to not put all the blame on Sam for being the bad guy who did never anything good towards Henry but being manipulative when throughout the story we can really see him being a little dense about his feelings but also so caring and cheerful towards everybody and most of all Henry.
Well, all Sam did was pull out and tried to make Henry do the chasing. Sam had always clung unto Henry and Henry was the one who made a bunch of excuses to run away from Sam. Besides, all the loving which Henry claims to feel for Sam is all in his head. I have no memory of Henry trying to prove his love except tail behind Sam. He confesses to Sam, yeah, but he runs away when Sam accepts and confesses back.
The last bit wasn't even about Henry confronting Sam but Sam cornering Henry so that he stops running away. （￣へ￣）
Talking about grand miscommunication, entitlement, dishonesty and mind games...
When people complain about the second lead syndrome, they also criticize the FL for being so indesicisive, blind and dumb.
Exactly my point. Henry was in love with Sam his entire life but he has never had the courage to tell him or even show it a little because was afraid of losing him and not even ready to love him so I can’t quite understand why people keep saying that Sam doesn’t deserve Henry just because he even got married ignoring Henry’s feelings. It’s the opposite, I think that Sam tried everything he could to stop Henry to keep running away from him from the very moment in which he understood that he was in love with Henry.
First of all, my eyes kept seeing Kang Daniel and Park Jihoon! Whew. Moving on.
Jensen was written too perfectly to the point that Neil has become annoying (that's kinda disappointing since this meant to be about him and Neil) . I didnt mean to be sensitive about Neil jumping to conclusions when he saw Risa and Jensen but he couldve at least hear him out. And when Jensen went to his apartment? Why did he interrogate Jensen instead of apologizing like he did after Jensen unnecessarily apologized? Suddenly, all the good things I felt for Neil was thrown out of the window and I didnt like feeling that way because Im doing him injustice. I dont want to hate Neil just for that but Jensen was always quick to compromise which highlighted Neil's selfishness too much.
Also, Im aware that the plot is weak but having read too many complicated and frustrating stories before this gave me a good break. Even if it was only because of Jensen. Like, Im just happy that he's happy.
I agree. It was a simple story and it was cute. But Niel’s doubts were groundless after Jensen made it obvious he was interested.
Im all for complicated plots but all I ask is consistency and order. Colin was, is, and will always be the victim in his story. Give him a break! His bent so far that he has practically lost himself already. Like is he even a person or a tool??? And the split was too much. Gabriel can be twisted by being himself since he's done a good job manipulating Colin's past lovers already. What's the point if both of them are just as twisted?
And the book? Pfft, worked the first time but the second was just desperate. Besides, his soul for that ONE information? Man, I wouldve loved this if Colin stayed on top after all that he's suffered from but in the end he was still played.
Sigh. Disappointing.
Ed is right. He's still struggling with Chang and it isnt fair for Mcqueen to get caught up with that. Starting over means both of them are stable on their own so that they arent sensitive towards each other.
I just hope that whatever Chang throws at Ed, Ed can stand stronger
preach, sis
Well let's celebrate because daddy Glenn is gonna do everything just to protect Ed. For example , .......
i don't wanna spoil hahaha
Ohhh! You're baiting me hahaha
well, daddy glenn is willing to give up everything just for ed to be safe from chang. that's all what i had to say.
how? hihihihi secreeeet
There are many details that were glossed over especially since Siyeon has ESP and a supposedly properly trained hitman. Although seeing that author often takes breaks, I suppose they focused on the bigger picture : Contract killer develops a relationship with his boss unknowingly. This is very much simplified and could leave you hanging if you're keen on the details of their complicated background.
Even so, what I like about this is the author didnt slack on the characters. Siyeon and Tae have distinct personalities and the author is consistent with recycling details already mentioned as the story progressed. It doesnt forget contradicting actions from Siyeon's declarations nor does it make Tae seem to have a sudden change of personality. Instead, the author made them flexible without compromising on their basic personalities.
And, I am as upset as Siyeon when he realized that his target was pregnant. Come on, you hired him to kill one person without telling him that another life was growing in her. Im pro-choice but killing pregnant women isnt part of the territory. Truth to be told though, that plot twist where Tae is the boss is refreshing HAHAHA
For starters, i prefer clearer or more precise storytelling so I have my own standard or expectations manifesting in the following paragraphs. Even so, I adore the art style and find the plot interesting. However, the shakiness or that feel of indecisiveness is apparent in the story. Like the ending wasnt even the first thing that the author planned because alot of the fillers in the story seemed to aim for Hyunwoo to catch up with Subin.
Although I commend the change of pairing since I did want Jun to have that love he wanted and Subin was played alot of times by Hyunwoo, I hoped Subin would be more stable and decisive in the end for it to work. The ending, even if Subin says there's nothing to worry about, the fact that Jun doesn't feel secure makes the ending unsatisfying for me. But i guess that's on trust issues, too. Constantly fighting and knowing that Hyunwoo and Subin were just trying to ignore each other without having a closure then seeing Hyunwoo try to steal a kiss, I mean, who wouldnt feel insecure?
Anyway, for a long story like this, I can feel the frustration of Dongjun and just like him, Im just glad that Hyunwoo and Subin were on speaking terms after 2 years and also wish Jun and Subin would also develop a stronger bond. Of which at least I saw happening for a while when Subin thought more of his relationship with Jun instead of Hyunwoo. But I wanted it to be Subin rejecting Hyunwoo instead of Jun interfering because then there wasnt any closure between Subin and Hyunwoo.
I'll just satisfy myself with my imagination that Subin will mature in a way that he'll be more tolernat and patient when it's Jun's turn to vent. Because come on, Subin wanted to be reliable but seemed to shut off Jun when he seemed to want to vent.
The first was poorly written in terms of connection and relationship. The tachi forces himself on the neko and the neko strongly attached himself to the tachi in the end. That bond is weakly justified which makes their relationship bland and toxic. (just as poisonous as the flowers which the tachi told the neko after their first sex)
The second was cute but again, too quickly paced to even get a feel of their relationship. Strong emotions needs stronger justification.
The third is the most well written. Yui is more developed than Kei, though. To me, Kei's hatred doesnt even manifest itself beyond his words. Yui is interesting because his love manifests through his efforts to appease Kei and his insecurities surface through his actions.
When it's multistory, the plot doesnt progress well. Especially when the characters are given strong personalities that do not manifest or worse, become developed. There's only so few oneshots that work well to be satisfying instead of leaving you asking for more.
Well yeah, that's why he's all words about it. Just that his character seems to stop there for me that's why Yui felt more developed. The changes Yui made is apparent. Though, I reread it cause I forgot the story and see Kei's effort to get past his own lack of communication.
Yeaaaahhh and he shouldn't say tgat trans people who don't get surgery, be it because they don't want to or can't, aren't serious. If being a man and wearing skirts makes him happy, then that's what he should be doing!!
People need to understand ignorance in order to change it. Everything he said came from the hurt he experienced due to his father. That should have been further discussed so that we could see his progress in understanding.
An older brother who had to suffer from shitty parents and still strive to be acknowledged. Like, im so happy that he met Souta. My heart calls for him everytime he makes that sad face. Like let me embrace you and tell you that you're your own person and Souta loves you as you very much, Makoto. I hope he calls your name more and more until he's overwritten Hajime's presence. Besides, as brothers you've got each other only as family because both of you were oppressed by your shitty parents' exoectations. And please, leave that godforsaken house. Live with Souta
