ojisan enthusiast's manga / #5 stars(53)

one of my most memorable reads. i love park ji-yeon’s works so much. momentum is a collection of short stories that take place in one universe (it’s really fun to see small easter eggs) and each chapter punches you in the gut hard. very heart-wrenching. this is ANGST. i cried. holy shit. its just- everyone needs to read this.

few notes: — i adored this webtoon when i first read it. it’s one of those series where once you read it, it’ll never blow you away as much after. — the uke, dg, is pretty pathetic. he’s a pushover and he doesn’t have much personality other than admiring alex. the second hand embarrassment is real but that’s not what i mind: it’s that he’s a genuinely boring character alone. several times during my reread, i got irked but how pushy he was about things and the way he acted. so irritating. but, in my first read i didn’t mind as much (or rather i was too caught up in the angst to really pay a closer attention) — the ending/last chapter was incredible, well. that’s maybe too much but it was good and tugged at my heartstrings and i even teared up. it’s so cute. i’ve never been so affected by a webtoon’s ending. it’s not that it’s sad. but it’s because [spoiler] alex ceases to exist. jiwon abandons his job to live as himself and it’s just- read it. — like i said earlier, you really would lose the amazement and adoration for the series aftwr a reread or two (more like you’ll be less impressed which albeit understandable, there are multiple webtoons and mangas out there that ive reread multiple times and still enjoyed always *cough* ameiro paradox *cough*). but still, it’s a rollercoaster and i love it so much! definitely, probably, won’t reread it unless it’s been 10 years lolol

the story kinda goes “meh!” after awhile since it stops focusing on the main couple and on to the second couple who ON GOD I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT the dialogue goes hard asf as expected of park ji-yeon and it gives MAJOR green creek series vibes fluffy and funny then BOOM angst and drama :,( theres also a side couple who are wlw the nsfw scenes arent vague or censored or whatever its pretty good but bc its rlly plot oriented u dont rlly think about it

broke twink college boy x old successful doctor HOLY FUCK I LOVE THIS WEBTOON SO MUCH AND I CANNOT WAIT TO REREAD IT SOON!!!! the art was really weird to me at first and i actually dropped the story for awhile bc the first couple chapters were pretty boring before eventually reading it again. the style quickly grew on me and i ended up being obsessed with the art style. the bottom annoyed me at first not gonna lie lmao. I LOVE THE SEME SO MUCH !!!!!!!! his personality is so chill, and he’s sooo handsome and sooooo my type and ahhh he’s everything LISTEN. they are the cutest ever and they have these like little gestures of romance like just cuddling moments and THEY ARENT BORING TYPE OF FLUFF its still so fun ahhh the last couple chapters i have mixed feelings of. it’s sort of like uhhhh that one webtoon i read,,, uhh,,, “work, fight and love” where they could have ended it then and there but then they added in more drama. except in this case, i just think it was a bit too short-paced. the drama and angst was definitely necessary! ahhh one of my top faves reread: review stays the same :)

woooo !!! ok so this comment is a month after i actually read it (i read it on march 12, 2020. it’s april 20 rn) so my memory is hazy but anyways since the start, i was already interested. i am in love with loud, stubborn ukes mixed with popular, sly/aloof types. it starts super interesting and i’m left wondering “oh shit is this an actual love triangle whats going ON” and stuff. their dynamic is SO fun and FUNNY and they’ve fallen in love before they’ve even realized!!!! the seme was so sweet. i enjoyed their development so much. ESPECIALLY the seme suddenly did a 180 and became too possessive that he was borderline a yandere. it satisfied my fucked up mess inside. for some reason, they just forgot the whole subplot thing with the president until the very end of the story which was THE WORST DECISION EVER AND SUBTRACTED A LOT OF POINTS FOR ME. it ended up being so rushed and stupid and so anticlimactic. absolutely horrible. 8/10 HOWEVER. after ch 61? everything went to the shit. i don’t know why (though i have a brief idea which involved the seme sleeping with a side character i didnt give a shit about and found annoying) but i left a tag saying that during my first read so i just included it ahaa

shinya best boy

good shit not rlly enemies to lovers but eh shouldve been longer tbh bc so many questions??

ahhhh this is honestly really good i love it but i really wanted sagara to be possessive over hibiki (╥_╥)

ch64 first impresion: holy fuck everyone’s hot . the uke is crazy pretty, though in certain panels he looks pretty average or so and so (ive decided it cause of the hair) and the seme, seungho, is crazy hot . and i mean CRAZY HOT . — the story is pretty cruel and unique. the art is pretty cool too. still reading, will comment more in the future.
