Hell & High Water
fuuckkk. even reading this years later with fresh perspective and all its beautiful. of course the story could still be lengthened and improved but that’s just a personal comment as the rest of this is. I love the world building and just the over all gag of the protag. it’s a fun read but also serious at times. kudos to this beautiful masterpiece.
The Pizza Delivery Man and The Gold Palace
I fucking hate this manhwa because i fucking love it. gosh the drama is crazy but what’s even crazier is the entire dynamic of characters being fleshed out so beautifully. I hate that I resonate with both of them but especially wonwoo with his situation and overall inability to open up and take chances because he’s just so used to a shitty life that makes him go for the next best thing that doesn’t affect anyone else negatively in the process. I love the themes of wealth disparity, anxiety, insecurity, and the complexities of love are fleshed out. I love how they constantly strive to be the best for each other but it ends up doing quite the opposite— such is the paradox of love. I see myself in both of them and each chapter just hurts because I understand it. Even with my last relationship, open communication is sometimes never enough when there are things you feel like you have to keep to yourself for the sake of a ‘healthy’ relationship you want to keep. Ah fuck, this is too good. They’re at an arc where is seems like woo won might be racked in his ptsd which might change their dynamics once more but that makes this story all the more tangible in the way that relationships are always a push and a pull, something that never stays constant except for the two people in it.
