"When he was just a student, Soohyun, ranked second, felt envious of the perfect Eunsung. Although he tried catching Eunsung, his soul aflame with passion, it wasn’t enough, and he lost all his motivation upon graduation. As time passed, Soohyun forgot everything. However, when he saw Eunsung collapse for the first time, he felt extreme pleasure. With his obsession for Eunsung rekindling, he has a desire to see him fall even further in-front of him..." ✰ Enemies to Lovers ⤷ [9.6] OH MY GODDDD YOU FR PUT ME ON I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT TO READ THIS!!!!! they are soooo fking cute omg!!! the way eunsung looks at soohyun had me SQUEELING! HE'S SO IN LOVE! The art is so good and some of the skinship scenes were so unique. i love those little details rather than them just going to pound town every 2 pages "enemies" to lovers, slow burn / emotional development, strong uke with a dead gaze, puppy seme, dramatic-ass "who did this to you" scenes...bro this had everything i love. only reason it doesn't get full points is bc i feel like the plot was wrapped up a lil too quickly/simply, and the plot felt a little unrealistic at times, but this type of shady/exploitative shit really does happen IRL, so i guess maybe seeing the behind the scenes made it hard to comprehend how it was going on all that time. yeah i could read 500 more chapters of them being in love UGH!!! trope: hate but has always been in love subconsciously

"There are a few unusual things about «Cafe Go Yo». Number one, their coffee sucks. Number two, their customers never order off the menu. And number three, Go Yo, the cafe manager, is deaf. So when Soo Hwa joins as a part-timer, though he is not expected to learn how to make good coffee, he is asked to expand his sign language vocabulary beyond the words: «higher», «pay» and «please». But when Go Yo offers to give him private lessons, Soo Hwa is reluctant. Not because he doesn’t want to study, but because he has a «hard» time around Go Yo. Like, literally. He gets hard. Whenever he hears Go Yo’s deep, sexy voice." ✰ Boss x Subordinate, Cafe ✰ Deaf MC ⤷ literally no. i hate this art so much lmfao. they look like damn bugs. no one is cute. get off my FEED go AWAY i HATE! dropped ch 16

I Ship My Rival x Me
"My rival, Gu Yiliang, a B-list newbie actor, has the face of an idol and amazing acting skills. I, Wei Yanzi, a C-list newbie actor, have the face of an idol and the acting skills of a brick. However, I accidentally discovered a wonderful world where, whether we sit or stand, move or not, our love was more solid than gold. This world, filled with truth, goodness, and beauty, has a resounding name: Niangzi!" ✰ Actor x Actor ✰ Funny Misunderstanding ✰ Light-Hearted, Funny ⤷ i wish i knew more about chinese pop culture/history bc i know some of these jokes would have been hits. it was a super funny/cute read, and the art was pretty. i didn't completely get/appreciate the humor until like 50% through, which i regret. i was taking everything too seriously but that's just my drama-loving self. also i was confused when they got together, i was like "wait, where was the confession?" i completely forgot not all webtoons need to follow yaoi-logic, which is some dramatic confession of love. i read the novel alongside this for about 50% of it. the dick biting scene was so funny lmfao. i think if this was yaoi like the novel i would rate it higher, but they cut out all the smut smh. i know u can see the smut on bilibili but after many failed attempts at accessing the chinese website i gave up.
