the good
- i kind of hate blackmail??? however crucial it is to advancing the plot?? so the fact that jisoo foiled it in a show of badassery raises this manhwa in my estimations by like 500%
- uke got spine
- friends with benefits to feelings, one of my trope darlings
- even if the protagonist has only just newly discovered his bisexuality, he treats the subject with a level of decorum and respect that isn't afforded by many. the more i read of him, the more i see positive traits displayed: dependability, loyalty, emotional honesty, respect. i feel these are traits more manga should invest in a seme, instead of a maelstrom of abusive traits
the bad
- antagonist is a little cliche???
- while we're on the subject of cliches, the use of terminal illness as a dramatic device
the ugly
- the placement of the extended flashback was a little jarring to me. i feel it could have been integrated into the story or revealed over the course of a period
