Sugar ❀'s manga / #Beautiful Art(353)

P: First impressions are everything, right? But it doesn’t seem that way when Yikyung comes across Joobin. When they first meet, Joobin is just a handsome stranger with an exciting air of mystery. Yikyung itches to draw him, to sketch out his beauty on paper like the artist he is… But at their next encounter, Joobin is a completely different person. Sensitive, outspoken, and passionate about his own work as a photographer, he proposes that Yikyung become his model. And drawn to this other side of his, Yikyung says yes. Between lens and paper, who’ll be the first to sketch out the other to perfection? O: This is nice, they are both quite cute! I found myself losing some interest later on tho since nothing really happens... it is REALLY smutty and there seems to be a lack of character development. f/71 no meaningful development.

P: Kim Jiho earns a living by pickpocketing on the street. One day, he leaves the facility that he's living in after being physically assaulted by the owner. While on the street, roaming endlessly with no place to go, he sits down hopelessly in front of a car and thinks. "If I were to be hit and killed here, it'd be good if the car was expensive." With such thoughts, an expensive car stops before him, and a man in it asks, "Do you want to hop in? If you don't have anywhere to go." Kim Jiho, who believes that even goodwill has a price, is determined and follows the man. But the man doesn't ask for anything after taking in Kim Jiho... O: Listening to Sweater Weather matches the vibe. The R15 version doesn't compare to the mature one ngl... Overall I pretty like this!! Nice art and plot. The age gap is a bit questionable tho. The cover art doesn't do the manhwa justice IMO. C17 - lol not Woojung realising what he got into C21 - didn't expect Woojung to lean in like that and say sth like that lol C23 - yeah ofc Woojung knows... I like the pacing/panelling, very nice. These feet/hand closeups FLUH. The raws are spicy... bro why did he bring her home, was this part of his scheming ICANT, so inappropriate. C65 - oh shit...

P: If there was a closet inside a closet, Joohwan would hide there. He's that desperate to hide that he's gay. Still, he's doing a pretty good job at hiding his sexual orientation, on his way to a promotion at his job, and has everything going great...right until he crosses paths with Sihyun during a major presentation for work. Unfortunately, Sihyun is devastatingly attractive. Perhaps attractive enough to drag Joohwan out of the closet... O: The synopsis sounds kinda lame, but this is actually pretty good lol.

In the tension between fame and authenticity, will Hoyeong be able to find his true voice? O: Interesting premise... I like their builds.
