moonomu's manga / #Romance(5)

It was alright. Most the main couple have done is kiss like three times and two of them were an accident And don't tell me "its a fluffy shounen ai" it was barely fluffy and it wasn't that funny either, it was kind of boring too. "Who can define popularity?" Is an example of a fluffy shounen ai (no smut) that is also funny and cute. This story also has so much unexplored territory and unexplained things. How did the curse just go poof? Why didn't we see more of Taeho's relationship with his mom? Why did she change? Has Yeon's dad changed? Will their relationship improve? Is Yeon going to continue being an actor or quit? Like, there were so many interesting things to explore yet they chose to make like 9 side stories with no value or fluffiness. It just gets tiring after a while. Also a bit disappointing how Ahn Jun literally kissing Taeho w/o consent then encouraging a girl to SA Yeon when he was asleep + drugged wasn't addressed at all. In fact, they act like what he's done is minor, like NO HES NOT CUTE, HES A HORRIBLE PERSON AND A MANBABY HE NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL 2.5/5 rounded to 3. Wouldn't reread, could've been better.

its okay. hated the ML at first, but he became better Rereading this on the 30th of October 2022, this is really good! There isn't actually much romance as said in the last chapter but the good story and character development make up for it! As said when I first read this, I hated Taehyun at first, and I still did rereading it now lmfao. I love Taehyun but I really don't know how Dayeol forgave him after that. I'm surprised with how much I enjoyed this this time round since last time I wasn't very fond of it. I guess its because now I'm older I can appreciate the story more. I also found myself relating to the characters way too much. Like Dayeol; his arc with archery and all is exactly how I feel about art except I actually like it. And Taehyun I relate to because I think I'd react the same if somebody told me they liked me. I'm just so scared of love and actually believing that somebody would like me, being scared of what would come with that relationship and stuff that I'd probably just straight up reject or cut them off because I'm just so fucking scared whether i feel the same way or not. That, and I also cry a lot :((. I just resonate with him so much, it made me enjoy the story more and feel more connected to it. This story kind of made me realise a lot more about myself. Another thing, I finally realised why this is called a shoulder to cry on, something I was initially confused about, and it just makes me feel for Taehyun even more. A big part of his character arc is that he literally fucking hates himself. He blames himself for his mother's suicide and the way his family reacted didn't make it any better, especially his auntie. Nobody was there to comfort him, so he had to block out all the grief and hold it in. He put on a happy-go-lucky, troublemaker facade at school and fell into his depressive thoughts when at home. So when Dayeol comes into his life, chipping away at his facade, telling him he isn't okay, and worrying about him all the time, he breaks down because it was so unusual– almost uncomfortable– for him to finally have...A SHOULDER TO CRY ON???? I feel a bit embarrassed about how smart I feel finally figuring this out LMAO BUT OH MY GOD THE FEELS, I LOVE THIS MANHWA. I think this is genuinely a 5/5! The only negative is that there isn't any more content. But somehow even though the 'conflict' hasn't exactly been resolved, I don't feel like I've been left on a cliffhanger or that I'm missing something. This story is just so great. Love this, wish this author had more stories because I'd definitely read the shit out of them.

Favourite characters are definitely Cheng and Yu, they're precious and have to be protected. It was interesting at first but as I read on, it got boring. So dropped. Sorry!!! Would've worked out better as a short 20-30 chapter story. Still cute tho! Ch 55

Fruity????

Honestly I got whiplash from reading this. Not sure how to feel. Like why in the world did the dad turn into a kid w like 0 explanation? WTF. ch 74 Probably gonna drop
