P: Jeong Taeui has always lived in the shadow of his genius twin brother, but he's never been unhappy with his ordinary life. When his uncle shows up at his doorstep with a dangerous job offer disguised as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Taeui is skeptical, but he reluctantly agrees to work as an agent for half a year. Despite his initial qualms, he quickly adjusts to his new environment using his outgoing, positive personality. But from the moment Taeui meets Ilay Riegrow, an agent from another branch, his peaceful life slowly starts to change. Everyone says Ilay is a sadistic psychopath who should be avoided at all costs, but Taeui knows there's more to him than meets the eye. But getting to know Ilay is like playing with fire, and Taeui isn't sure if he's ready to get burned. O: This manhwa is pretty amusing and hella toxic. His uncle looks so young?? Ilay is so hot but so fked up lol. I love seeing his ecstatic crazy face. It is kinda painful to see him toying with Taeui :( This is a really interesting slowburn. So much tension and passion, what a fitting title lol C8 - why is he so damn fine ahgkjsdf C10 - omfg that's embarrassing... also why is his spilling to this some dude he's only talked to twice LOL C11 - uhhh.... C13 - why is he so hot I'm interested why Xinlu seems to behave so nicely to Taeui now?? In C5 he was pretty cold C24 - why does he look so sexy?? C33 - FLUH C37 - bro Xinlu is scaring me, he feels bipolar. Bruh Ilay is killing me x.x C38 - those squiggly lines are so squiggly C40 - omg Xinlu low-key reminds me of Ilay in that freaky way C42 - LMAO ICANT C43 - oh shit gastritis pulls? C47 - FLUH C48 - bruh everyone is just going about gilsangcheong this that etc. C53 - LMAO Taeui is so oblivious wtff C55 - LOL that was kinda funny C58 - FLUH C59 - “it’s only natural for my instinct to kick in…” LMAO this always gets me every time C65 - FLUH C70 - tbh I don't really know what's going on lmao. Wtf I want more... idk why I didn't try reading this until now. I probably confused it with another manhwa anti pt or sth?? C77 - Taeui is so screwed lmao

P: After the death of his father, Joo Hawon is left with his father’s astronomical debt in the foreign land of Macau. With no future in sight, Hawon works as a casino dealer, barely getting by each day. One day, a mysterious man, Kwon Taeha, shows interest in him. “Now then, let’s have some fun, shall we?” Hawon agrees, believing that they will be spending their time together in a more frivolous and light way. However, Taeha approached Hawon with both Hawon’s father and his legacy in mind, which, unexpectedly, Hawon has pretended not to know about his entire life. Hawon is faced with this stranger who claims that if Hawon accepts the proposal, Hawon will be freed from the debt that is weighing down on him. He has no choice but to accept the convincing proposal, however Kwon Taeha keeps acting differently when Hawon is the only one around. Hawon finds it annoying at first, but then he starts to get confused, because it seems like he’s growing attracted to the man who has offered him the hand of mercy without any obvious reason… O: There is something about this manhwa that somehow draws you in. It has a pretty bleak depressing atmosphere and is slow-paced. Hawon and Taeha both are really poker-faced.

P: In March, when the new semester begins, Han Seok, who was attacked by a cat on his way to school first meets Han Ki Woon, who takes care of the cat that attacked him. The two meet again in the same classroom by chance and Han Ki Woon, who hits the wall like he's strangely frivolous, continues to be interested in Han Seok! Second couple is Hyun and Jaeha, where Jaeha has a complicated past with Hyun and Kiwoon O: This is cute and funny, but it also feels super random. Especially the flow of the first few chapters, but it gets way more interesting later, especially in season 2 where most of the shit goes down and where the characters feel more genuine. It felt unnatural how Kiwoon (blonde) avoids the others and acts kinda like a cat, and Han Seok keeps teasing Kiwoon. I also found Hyun's crush on Jaeha to feel pretty unnatural ngl. First couple is sweet, but I feel much more invested in the second couple. Second couple is what made me feel this manhwa was 5 stars not 4 stars. It is a very slow, but good burn - lots of angst. Their story feels more anchored in reality and depressing, unlike the first couple's which is way more fluffy and lovey dovey. There is a fair amount of misunderstanding/lack of communication which can be pretty frustrating, but it's overall pretty good read. There are quite a few interesting twists. I'm very interested in what's the deal with Seungha... he is a very mysterious person whose objectives are hard to tell. On a side note, it kinda sucks that the season 1 afterword said sth about not being 18+, but tbh the way the manhwa is rn is already solid. Tbh I didn't quite like the art at first, but it kinda grew on me. On a sidenote, FML I'm supposed to be studying for exams bruh help me... C11 - lmao Han Seok is really just going around biting people TT, also he is so petty HAHA C16 - :( omg this kinda broke my heart C17 - bruh LMAO Sagong Hyun (brown) C19 - ayooo what?? C20 - huh what is going on?? this change of attitude seems sudden C22 - sus... anyway omg Kiwoon called Han seok honey!!! C23 - LMAOO HAN SEOK TT C26 - OMG HAHAAH KI WOON C29 - Seungha is so nice ;-; bruh the comments lmao x.x C30 - LOL I can't with Seungha and Sagong, Seungha is such a mood. What does Jaeha mean..? "Then and now, Sagong Hyun is… even though he has a few kindhearted people around him, I don’t like it." C32-33 - why are they so cute sjfjdsf C34 - oh shit... so Sagong fuelled the misunderstanding. HUH???? I didn't really see that coming?? Now that is a plot twist. But I really don't see it?? C36 - bro did Jaeha really just think "The only one I have is Kiwoon" when he's at Sagong's house??? Pain... C38 - my heart... C39 - bruh Seok's friends LOL TT omfg so Sagong really did like Jaeha x.x "I don't like Jaeha anymore" C43 - I really wonder why Jaeha doesn't like Sagong... C47 - heyyy I have a similar watch LOL C48 - Hyun is so sweet TT C49 - Ooh Jaeha is starting to be interested in Hyun..! C51 - Seungha is asking the million dollar question!! C53 - oh shit, Seungha help!!! Can't believe the first to throw hands to Jaeha would be Seok C54 - pain... C56 - angst C58 - the way Hyun started crying TT C61 - ayoo who does Seungha like?? Also this is getting into dangerous territory :( C62 - WTF THE DAD USED A KNIFE?! C63 - omg Jaeha TT C64 - wait what is going on o.o why did Seungha have that bookmark HUH, why is he physical over it?! C67 - omg Hyun... <3 C68 - WTF IS WITH JAEHA'S FAMILY BRUH :( Also Jaeha slowly warming up to Hyun TT C69 - omg pain.... :( C76 - WHAT IS HYUN DOING, HE'S TOTALLY THROWING BRUHHH CHASE JAEHA WTFF C78 - HYUN NOOO C79 - WTF AINT NO WAY HYUN SAID THAT!! This is so sad TT seeing Jaeha cry as well TT Also on a side note, how was Hyun so speedy?? C80 - OMG YESS FINALLY!!! C81 - THAT HUG OMG <3 C82 - this is a dream right? >///< Aint no way Jaeha is that forward haha. ALSO WHAT DID JAEHA DO AT THE END OML, didn't expect that C86 - FLUH C87 - what's Hyun doing with that desk LOL C2 - On the second read-through "It's like a love and hate relationship" makes sense... on another note, this is pretty weird at the start... it feels pretty unnatural how Kiwoon is acting, and Seok is a total weirdo/creep hitting on Kiwoon x.x Especially since he keeps sniffing/biting him... This kinda gives 19 day vibes. The art changes quite a bit. They look cuter later on C10 - ooh Jaeha's first appearance. He looks pretty intimidating. C11 - bruh that kiss was so random x.x C13 - Jaeha again C16 - ok but seriously these NPCs are so random - last chapter was a girl classmate saying her friend tried to contact Seok. This chapter is a guy friend who tried to contact Kiwoon C18 - ok another random NPC lol with a flower intro. And the girl NPC again C20 - ok I still have no idea what happened in this chapter lol. The translation is confusing. Also Seungha implies that he knows about the incident C21 - Seungha looked a bit sinister in one moment when he was talking with Jaeha C22 - bro I seriously wonder how Seungha seems to all-knowing, that smirk tho after asking if Hyun likes Jaeha C26 - Jaeha meets Kiwoon C27 - ok ngl Jaeha gripping the pen like that was a bit scary C30 - Hyun sus C31 - Hyun says he took care of Jaeha a lot, but Jaeha was kinda cold towards him, but I thought Hyun said he was the one who pushed Jaeha onto Kiwoon?? C32 - this also seems super random, like they just start fighting and Jaeha doesn't explain?? C34 - bruh Hyun let Jaeha down in the very moment he was needed :( he's petty af. Also he didn't even bother trying to resolve the misunderstanding and just sided with Kiwoon like wtf?? Did you really like Jaeha?? C35 - "I just never liked you from the start" oh... so Jaeha didn't like Hyun. I am super curious though what's in this for Seungha to helping resolve the issue? C39 - bruh it's the same dude who fake-kissed Seok, this is so random C46 - ok but when did Kiwoon give a bookmark to Seungha? C47 - I'm curious why Jaeha keeps changing his clothes when he meets Hyun? C50 - yeah I'm really curious what Seungha gets out of this! He said nothing C52 - Hyun is too blunt and too subtle at the wrong times x.x C53 - I still find it funny how the first to throw hands with Jaeha after the incident was not Hyun but Seok C59 - that was messed up of Hyun to keep brushing off Jaeha like that :( C63 - man all this bad stuff just had to happen all at once :( C64 - I still don't get this haha, imo it seems like Seungha is doing this to speed up the progress of Jaeha and Hyun's relationship. Seungha is pretty emotionally intuitive, and it doesn't make sense for him to act this way just because he likes Kiwoon, so I don't think Jaeha's guess is right. C69 - :( Jaeha's face at the end... C99 - oh what Seungha liked Kiwoon? That explains why he had Kiwoon's bookmark... didn't see that coming ngl
