Complete | LONDON Pariko | 2017 released

storyline: two 32yo guys who've been together since high school and are now facing a rut in their relationship. one of them talks about breaking up, but the other won't let that happen (none of them actually wants to break up) review: this was sad and silly and so much all at once, but man i love their dynamic, they're so besties

Literature Boy

Complete | Kim Son,Lee Younggo | 2000 released

storyline: haejin and sunwoo are former highschool sweethearts who bonded over their love for writing and reading, but ended up breaking up on a bad note. now find each other again working for the same publishing company review: i think some plot points needed addressing and didn’t get the resolution we needed… did sunwoo tell haejin that he plagiarized his writing for the contest? when did sunwoo even read haejin’s writing before? i don’t think these were mentioned anywhere in the story and i believe these were key points in the narrative… a bit disappointing but not a bad story
