Hands down one of my favorite BL manhwa. Not only is it sweet af without it being overly cringe all the time, the plot is amazing!! It’s flavored like a yaoi or BL, but the taste is so refreshing and just PERFECT! Dean wasn’t at all how a crime boss person would be. His backstory was sad and wild for him being raised by a gangster leader father, but it wasn’t poorly done. The whole relationship was 100% consensual!! Omg! The sex wasn’t really viewable (like no genitalia was drawn) but it was all consensual from both parties and it acntuallh took a while for it to happen. There were no deals of ‘you can stay here, but you gotta clean, cook, and suck me off’. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Dean was so tragically precious that I fell for him too. It was quite easy to even though we know he is murderer. I think it’s because we only know of 3 people he has killed, but have seen the suffering his goes through on the daily because of his upbringing in a murdering profession. We can sympathize with that a lot more than his victims. I knew I was gonna love this just based on the title. I did think that he or Craig was gonna die at some point because they both seemed so tragically lost, but remembering the tags, tragedy wasn’t one of them lol a definite ♾/10 from me
