BeMyLover's manga / #childhood friends(35)

I found myself wanting a longer story for Boris and Seyun. The encapsulation of self harm, trauma, sex work, and rape is done well. I knew immediately why I loved Seyun, the idea of emotionally hating yourself before others can is a perfect mimic of victims of trauma. If I hate me first no one can hurt me more. I am not a fan of Michael walking around freely though. The man and his psycho "friend" just causally kidnapping Seyun again just to rape him and try to break him all over again really had my eye twitching. I wanted Boris to come swinging with a bat. I also loved the ending monologue to Tracy from Seyun as a thank you *chefs kiss*. Also the artist really needs to be hugged for giving a beautiful color cast representation of young black folks. It made me so excited to see them as characters as a black women myself!!

I did enjoy Paid, the pacing could have been fleshed a little cleaner. I wanted to know more about HeeGyum as a character then this mysterious asshole. Sure we got some decent glimpses of his distaste for his brother but I want to see him do it, mostly everything except the one scene where he calls HeeJae a "half-wit" was done in flashbacks, I wanted to see him more cunning and callous. It would have made me truly fall into HeeJae shoes. Also, I'm not a fan of allowing HeeJae to be so damn forgiving because he loves Taekyung. I'm not saying I didn't want this ending, I did but I needed Taekyung to gravel more, earn his way into HeeJae life again not a few tears and HeeJae just brushing it off. That man plotted this revenge for years, he was planning to ruin HeeJae, he slept with him, used him, then to add fuel to the fire he locked him up in a mental institution! Like that's not something most people can just hug out... Also I get HeeJae is a bit slower then others and it's for HaHa's but he I was hoping to really see him break a bit after finding out a man I began to trust and open himself to emotionally and physically was plotting on him and his life and then locked him up. He needed that moment to realize he can't just rely on others to get by, he needed that moment to really push him into his next phase. This would have been a good point to have HeeJae disappear to better himself and let Taekyung grow and wallow for a bit. Over all I enjoyed it and found myself entertained for the most part.

I enjoyed Black Mirror and definitely found it a bit disturbing but I feel like I'm not following the mirror aspect. So is it saying that it's not just Yeon and Jun being connected but other people as well? Like there's the hidden/disturbing secret world where people have these alter forms for their darkest desires? It's cool idea but I don't know, maybe I would have liked it had it only been just these two instead of the world. In a small way takes away from their pain. Also thank you God Hyunjoo and her sister didn't come. That would've sucked. Also wanted the coach to be meaner in the end. Would have made his death more compelling but overall I enjoyed it

Taesung is the green flag girlies should be raving about!! He's attentive, passionate, loving, protective in the healthy way, and gorgeous as well! I was so invested in Haebom and Taesung that I found myself giggling like I was reading smut for the first time! 10/10 recommend for those times when you need a break and refresher of what healthy love can be.

Gunner is definitely already gonna be a thorn in my damn side
