"Cho Taehyun is like the wind. A wind I can't read. A noise I can't ignore. Things got out of control ever since I got involved with him". ☚☛ Loved it! The kind of teen|coming of age BL that I love to read! Personally, I think it's a masterpiece, because it was truly beautiful!! I liked the characters and their thoughts, their interaction and dynamics, the developments of their relationship. Also, I really liked how the story was written and its structure. I loved all the emotions felt by the characters and I especially liked the words used to convey these emotions of theirs. It was so well-written! Especially towards the end, it was so emotionally intense, a swirl of emotions that kept me on the edge of my seat eagerly wanting to reach the end...and then the final chapters finally came...and it was so sweet...man, it had me smiling all on my own while anticipating for those two to finally get together! Ch. 28 was so beautiful!! I admit that I would have loved if it was more than shounen ai, especially because the author said they are thought as a versatile couple and I love to see that, but it was truly so good that I'm satisfied regardless! Loved this so much! Adapted to KDrama

I wonder if Pan actually remembers about it ohoh • Ch. 138.1 Including a bit of Pan and Qiu; HuanWen and JiYuan. > I wanted to see more of Pan and Qiu, like more details of the development of their relationship (and in the side story chapter I wanted to see them actually doing it!), and I also wanted to see HuanWen and JiYuan kissing at least once!!, but the story was so great and perfect regardless! Truly a masterpiece! One of the very best webcomics out there!

Uncle x Nephew (not sure if they are really related by blood) // The uncle seems to be the uke - Hope to read the whole story! Really want to see how things will develop between them! From the raws, I totally like it, it's a very nice story and there are some of my fav tropes, altough I wouldn't say it's really a great work and I feel in the end it will probably leave me wanting more. I can already say that I definitely wanted to see more of the side couple (the protagonist's classmate and that other student). 57 Chapters + Extra (Complete) - RAW: colamanhua.com / manga-ed91476 /

Mixed feelings about this story... I liked it for two reasons. Firstly, because it's an old manga, so I liked the whole old atmosphere, and, secondly, because it's a family affair story. And that's why I added this to my old-style romance and family affair lists. But I'll say that it was also a frustrating story for two other reasons. Well, first of all, as an avid BL reader, if I see a guy kissing another guy (and more than once at that!), I tend to automatically ship them, so the whole situation of Aoi and Sumire all along the story was frustrating for me, BUT, and from this I'll come then to the second reason, I actually found mysef liking Aoi and Yuri together so much, also because I didn't like Sumire much in the first place, so I was rooting for Aoi and Yuri instead! [Spoiler] But sadly they didn't end up together. I mean, no surprise there really, because they went for the obvious predictable course. It was obvious she would end up with Sumire...but I really liked Aoi and Yuri's interaction and moments all along the story, so I strongly hoped that they would end up together somehow! I don't care if they are half-siblings since it's a manga. I really think it would have been a more interesting outcome, if they ended up together. So, I can't really hide my disappointment about this. Anyway, having said all that, overall it's a good oldie, although I'm clearly not a fan of the couple... Adapted to Taiwanese Drama "The Rose" (2003)

Personally, I think this story is so overrated, as it's actually so average and insipid...nothing special! It was quite bland: for example, all the settings and backgrounds were very basic and bland (which remains the right word to describe everything about this!). There was nothing eyecatching, really...and it was boring as well, especially the more it dragged on, the more it became unbearable: it got so boring, in the end I read some of the last epilogue chapters just going through them quickly, because I didn't want to waste any more time and I just wanted to get it over with! The characters themselves weren't interesting. Well, we could say that Haebom was a cute kid, but still plain. And Taesung wasn't that likeable for me. At first, it was cute, so I thought that had to be the strong point of the story and the reason why it had such a high rating...but, underneath that cute appearance, there were parts|scenes that left a bitter taste, like those scenes where the seme lost control and the sex was kinda forced on the uke...that added a toxic scent to the relationship! And talking about sex, while at first it took them a while to finally do it [ch. 63 they finally have their first intimate contact // ch. 66 they finally do it], then it became so full of sex scenes that I got tired of it! From the third season, it became repetitive and boring. Seriously, of course I was excited when they finally did it and, after a long wait, maybe the author even tried to make up for it by finally giving us many intimate scenes...but, after a bit, it became too much, because almost every chapter was about them doing it! u.u In the end, I gave it three stars, because it wasn't entirely bad and I still kinda liked it, let's say, but it was more of a 2-stars-story!

So cute! But it's only the beginning of their story...wish it was developed with a nice slow pace, into a longer series!

// Based on a Game and Light Novel series, which were also adapted into the famous BL anime // >> Well, it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either. Because it felt like a draft. It was only a taste of the actual story. And, just about that, if one doesn't know the original story, for me it doesn't make much sense, it lacks a lot of background info. There are glimpses of their past, but it doesn't go much far into the actual story, let alone reaching the core plot. This remains at shounen ai level and basically this is almost entirely about them preparing for and doing a school play anyway. But, as I read then in the afterwards, it seems this adaptation came out when there wasn't much source material yet, so that could explain why there was so little to this. And it would also explain why the anime, which came out later, was very different. In any case, I prefer the anime. Altough it wasn't that great either for me, but it was certainly better than this.
