Cold-Blooded Beast
A man picks up his pronounced dead boss on the street and finds the boss has lost his memory and turns into a snake. He takes care of his boss in snake and human form in hopes the boss will get his memory back. It goes way deeper than just a workplace romance, as the boss has been watching over and waiting for the mc for about a hundred years and was in love with the mc in his past life. The boss took the bad luck out of the mc's new life and burdened it, sealing himself away from the world but the mc found him as a child by accident and they were once again entangled with each other. While i don't know if i will ever finish this book, I will say, it was quite the experience to read. This book was SO CUTE at the start but after reading about the mc's past life, i was crying. Seeing the mc's lonely death wishing to see the ml one last time with his hand dropping made me sob. I think it was very mind clearing in a way to see how when the ml tried to put the mc in a fake world to protect him, he had to communicate to the ml that he wanted to feel what was real. I love how they cleared up what could've quickly become toxic. They're just so cute together. I don't think i'll be able to bring myself to finish it and i'm okay with that for right now. c: -started reading 2024/7/1
Waterside Night
Wow it’s finally over.. I’ve been with this manhwa through thick and thin. Even back when I was with Noah. Picking this up again after almost two years was so worth it. It feels kinda weird to press the ‘already read’ button haha. The character building was phenomenal. Watching the relationship slowly change over time for the better was really healing for me. Seeing Euihyun having issues about feeling “cheap” and “dirty” and Taeju continuously blaming himself after the realization hits him and having an inferiority complex was so interesting to me because it’s such a rarity to see well rounded personalities and thought out relationships in manhwas these days. Seeing the push and pull immersed me into the story more. Seeing Euihyun shake under the alpha at the club felt really realistic :( while I don’t want to say Euihyun‘s relstable bc I don’t hope for his situation on anyone, I will say he’s way more realistic than most ukes. The conception dream at the end of season 2 was a genios set up for season 3 so kudos to the author for that. Even though this manhwa took long to finish, I think the slow updates was a bit refreshing for this. It kinda shows that you can’t force or rush a relationship, you can’t force somebody to be with you, you can’t make them like you. Even though the baby probably won’t ever be shown now that it’s finished, I’m still satisfied. This manhwa made me emotional, I laughed and cried to this. The author did a good job of keeping me on edge too. Some of the scenes felt..quiet in a way I can’t explain it. I started an album called ‘Quiet’ just to put panels that capture that feeling. The morning after a suicide attempt, the feeling sitting alone outside without any music with nobody around and realizing how lonely you truly are. The author captured that feeling really well I almost wanted to cry. It was so beautiful. Overall it touched me to see them have a healthy relationship even after the faltering on both sides and a whole lot of time. I wish nothing but the best for them :) “Because you said that being alive is beautiful, my life became pretty to me too.”
