This one was very good. The approach of beginning the story with a break-up and pepper it with present day "hook-ups" and past storyline was nicely done. I also really liked the domestic issues as the catalyst for leaving, change, and eventually reunion.

Secondo Piatto

Ongoing | Best Restaurant, Majjip, MangoBear | 2000 released

I liked this one immediately because it has such a great ML (detective) and his unrequited love for his best female friend and the 2nd ML who is in love with her future husband. I loved the way the ML falls and hard for the guy who he meets at the wedding, who he finds out that he's in love with the husband! The the detective falls for a guy who is so beautiful and yet a guy!! I've bought the French mature ones because you need the intimate scenes for the full effect ;)!

Blood Link

A long one at 135+ chapters but cover 2 generation + some history and next generation w/babies! I enjoyed it because it's was like a multi-generational novel! Story of a vampire and (hidden) lycan who meet in college and fall in love only to discover that they met many moons ago. They have a somewhat unconventional & forced pregnancy to start the next generation. Although it was one series, the length could've been 2.

Five years apart

Complete | 1001, Brothers without a tomorrow | 2000 released

A compilation of 3 stories. Interesting but sort've odd because they were all typically opposites at the beginning of each story.

Final Stop

Complete | 영찬 | 2019 released

Dropped it on Lezhin because of the whole debt/pay with your body trope. It definitely aged better and I was interested in finding out the ending....but the loss of the baby saddened me and the forgiveness at the end was too abrupt and unfulfilling! Although the characters were very nicely drawn, the canned "entourage" & extras were too angular and, sometimes, overwhelming.

Saha (Lee Uin)

Must admit ... I did not get this one. Some 9f the imagery was too out there for me and I didn't understand the ending.

Cold-Blooded Beast

Complete | 십분 | 2019 released

This was absolutely beautiful despite the weird premise! A snake umogi falls for a child he finds in the forest and decides to let him grow up and follow/protect him but finds his love too strong and develops a relationship. Some of it went over my head with the folklore but I loved the passion and care they had for each other.
