This one's drama alright, but I don't find it angsty, or maybe coz it's blended so well? angsty stories would sometimes make me cringe coz it tries too hard to be emo, but this one is not one of those. The story went smoothly. I was prepared for them not to end up together, but since there was no tragedy tag, I figured, that's not going to be it. I like the characters so much, they feel so alive, the intricacies of long-term relationship and learning to accept the flaws that you once found endearing about someone you love was so nice too. I like how the POVs shifted between the uke and seme so we readers get to understand their sides better. This was no fairytale, not much fluff happens, there are some, but it's more subtle and mostly during the flashbacks when they were just starting to get together, I think this is also a testament to how grounded the author made this. Basically it's just about two people falling in love, getting burned out from love, and deciding to stick together to overcome every hurdles through love. Sounds cheesy, but that's my take. 5/5
