It’s cute, i liked it a lot. Lots of struggle for love, very interesting. Baek Seung-Ho is a fucking bitch i hope that hoe dies. I think they should’ve gone more in depth about MC’s relationship to Seungho and why that mf keeps going after the family. I think a lot was missing from that part. I’m rating it based on enjoyment mostly as well as plot and art. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The art is just chefs kiss. Summary: Story about a boy seeking refuge from his “legal guardian” and finding love within the family he’s staying with. Turns out, they’re soulmates and Mr. Male Lead is an immortal chasing MC throughout the centuries. Jia is a god??? (not exactly specified) but her character is so good. very nice.

Kotarou n Aoi start off as sex friends but when Kotarou starts developing feelings for Aoi, Aoi freaks out and cuts it off. Aoi discovers his feelings for Kotarou and how they’re different from all the other sex friends he’s had. Anyhow, you can guess how this ends. Predictable but sweet. Art is really pretty. I think Kotarou fell for Aoi a bit too quickly for my taste. So quickly that it’s unrealistic. I don’t know, I don’t think I’d fall in love with Aoi THAT quickly if i was in Kotarou’s shoes, whether he was my first-time or not. But in the end, they’re a cute pair and really wholesome. Quick & easy read for when you’re craving a little bit of fluff. Overall, 7/10

my god this is so cute it literally makes me angry. Like i used to read this manhwa when it first started releasing and finally got back around to reading it from start to finish. I am so glad i did. All the couples r so cute. Would literally recommend to anyone who needs a cute, fluffy, easy to digest read. Like really, the author put crack in this manhwa cause whenever i started reading it, I would have it in my hands for like 2 hrs before i took a break. I love them all sm.

It wasn’t the most interesting manhwa and was criminally short for my liking but it was pretty cute nonetheless. I think all the characters are likeable but i just wish this was longer. Like i think 35 ch would’ve given this more substance. Overall, 6.5/10 only because of the length and pacing (due to the length). If it was properly paced and was longer, it would’ve been a solid 7.5 or 8

i really fell in love with these characters. i think this was my second or third time rereading and i still giggle at the funny bits. this has literally been the most popular shounen ai manhua since forever and you can see why. Yu Yang is so likeable and Li Huan is so cute you just wanna bully him. The pink hair guy is cute as well. DJun put their entire being into making these characters and this story. I really really love it, it’s saur cute. 10/10, will reread next yr probs.

A very accurate representation of what it’s like to be gay in a homogenous society. Life isn’t like fiction where things all have a way of working out the way the audience imagines. Things do work out, but in the path it just happens to go in. The other lead who married and had a family is a great representation of that. He’s gay, and still is, but for the sake of his mother, he denied himself. “I live for my mother’s smile.” Anyway, there is definitely a reason this gets so much hype and love. I think a lot of queer people can relate to some of the characters and that’s nice. Overall, 7.5/10
