Candy Man

Complete | Chanok,Romantic Restaurant | 2019 released

It’s good. MC comes off as naive and gets caught by ML catfishing as a girl in an online game. Some parts were funny but ML comes off as emotionally manipulative when it comes to mc. MC is an avid gamer on an online game. He pretends to be a girl in order to get special treatment in the game and catfishes men into giving him rare and expensive artifacts in the game. He then meets ML and he thinks it’ll be as easy to get rid of him as it is to get rid of the other guys he’s played before, but ML is persistent. ML wants a picture of MC and he puts in a wig and sends ML a picture and then ML sends a picture back and MC realizes it’s his classmate and the most popular guy in school. Then proceeds a game of cat and mouse because ML wants to see MC. While this is happening, ML gets closer to MC at school because MC resembles “his online girlfriend” (shocker I know). At one point MC gets caught by ML and he confesses that he’s known MC is the girl on her mind but he doesn’t care. They then proceed to date and blah blah blah. It’s pretty bland but a nice refresher from red flags!

Oh whoever wrote this must have cameras in my room— I’m sobbing internally rn. MC perspective was truly what I feel but it’s so hard to describe. MC wants to die—or at least he thinks about it. One day a high schooler holds him and yells at him to stop thinking MC was going to jump in front of the train. We see how MC is an over thinker and doesn’t state what he’s feeling out loud, but he feels like he does because his world is within his mind. One day his boss starts talking to him more and MC is confused at first but he likes it because it fills the void he has within. As they grow closer his boss invites him to his apartment and BASICALLY CONFESS (yippee) and they bang :> The next morning is quite awkward though because they’re talking and there’s a bit of an issue with how they view their relationship. He storms out because he’s hurt by ML and he goes to work. After work his boss tells him he’d like to talk to him but he decides to leave work. Then MC high schooler after not seeing him for a while (summer break) and they go on an adventure on subway stops. They talk and MC uses it as a time to decide what he wants to do. When they finally get back to their stop and they’re exiting HIS BOSS ENTERS THE SUBWAY so of course MC gets on the subway again— but the high schooler gets left at the station :( which is fine cause it was his stop but it hurt my feelings seeing him stand there. Then afterwards MC AND ML talk it out and figure it out. In the end they could figure it out. It hits close to home if you’re someone who loves too hard but fails to express it every time.
