This was nice but I feel ML was being too immature about many things and he was kinda toxic tho much better off than some insanely toxic MLs out there. I really felt that the MC was giving leeway to the ML, maybe because he's the more calmer and mature of them two.
I wished tho the ML would have a character development, like a stark difference from the way he started off. The story would have been much more better. But overall, it was enjoyable and the fact that they both managed to keep the relationship intact till the end speaks a lot. Good read.
I've been putting this off for a long time because I thought it was only smut, but when I watched the series I was so wrong.....the plot is just so beautiful, tbh not everyone's cup of tea, noir (sort of?) series like this is usually not enjoyed by many. But for me personally it was a good mix of plot + smut and overall a good mature romance with a happy ending ♡
Also did I mention that the actors for the live action did such a great job? Especially the one who portrayed Rio kijima is literally chefs kiss
