The Affairs of the Other World Depend on the Corporate Slave
REALLY interesting - overworked corporate officer kondo gets isekai'd into another world by accident - miasma spreads here, and he immediately seeks out a JOB LOL true to #capitalist world but uncovers that the accounting dept is just money laundering and seeks to rectify this - prime minister promotes him and suddenly the energizers he's been taking no longer work labourer heavily indoctrinated by capitalist death drive of finding meaning to one's existence via productivity (bad faith!!) and indrak babe gets attached to him out of a sense of "duty"/"morality"/"conscience" haha but he's clearly simping. what i love though, is that he broaches on health - that kondou needs to take better care of himself, especially if he wanted to do the best work! ugh we love a commentary
Never Understand
DRAMA BUT KEEP IT LIGHT + BEST COMEDY IVE BEEN DYING OVER HERE but its also made me feel SO many things. mental illness and bullying explored in depth!!!!! ugh all the characters actually have substance and honestly i binged this. it was a page turner from the beginning where you get hooked on the humour, the characters and it strings you along for their stories. just perfect. they overcome obstacles together; though these are 19 year olds, there is so much maturity.
Scent of a Witch
so captivating and a great read. medieval era - ryan falls for noah/el who is a warlock
Form of Sympathy
depresso prof who is me, interested in seeing how it plays out
Seoha
not a seinen but it read like one; poetic
Ways of Parting
really sweet premise..! war correspondent babe went into a coma when he was covering the syrian war for 5 years and he came back only to find his lover with another man. they've known each other all their lives and had been dating 8 years prior to bb's coma. both still have feelings for each other, i think the ex feels a sense of responsibility to his new bf because he had been supporting him in those 5 painful years. ex (taejung) even admits its not the same kind of love he had for joon.. fuck. sad shit bb enters a fwb relationship w his boss and former acquaintance chp 59.......christens this series as a masterpiece. emotional intelligence and boundaries. fuck. fuck.
Give Up on Love
wow - really creative spin on a BL. henry has been in love with chance for 9 years and wishes 2 things (which arent clear to me? but the second one ni the motel when he was w lucius was that "he (chance?) suffer as much as i (henry) did" since it was the day chance announced he was getting married to lucy. happened during a call WHICH WAS NOT HENRYS DOING SO TBH I THINK LUCIUS HAS A HUGE PART TO PLAY IN THIS so anyways he wakes up 9 years back and this universe is sabotaging chance x lucy and henry does his best to go back to the original world. when chance confesses to him, he jumps off the rail thinking that he ought to put a stop before the wish continues any further. he wakes up 9 years later - chance lied about being chance's bf, lucy has committed suicide (she was severely depressed) and lucius is very cold. chance and lucius wanted to stop henry from fixating on the wish which he only did until lucius suggested that his wishes were laden with ill intent (this wasnt what he actually believed and implied that he had somethign else he wanted to say but couldnt/didnt have the courage to)
