Harley's manga / #Beautiful Art(27)

Good and interesting plot. Angsty at times.

THIS WAS AMAZING I CANT KSBSKKSJDJSJDJJDJ

REALLY GOODDDD

SO GOOD AND CUTE AND HEALTHY LOVED IT LOVED IT

Truly amazing. One of the first bl manga I read.

I liked the plot, it made sense in my head, what with the author also not leaving any plot holes (at least any I could find). HOWEVER, I have some objections. HOW DID MR KIM FALL IN LOVE WITH THE DIRECTOR SO QUICKLY? LITERALLY AFTER HAVING SEX TWICE. It felt so sudden to me, it wasn't slow burn at all. But whatever, it can be ignored. Something that rubs me the wrong way is the director's behaviour. In one chapter it was hinted that Mr Kim's previous partners were abusive (them screaming at him, hitting him, etc) and the director was like "I'm never gonna do that to you" WHEN A FEW CHAPTERS PRIOR TO THAT HE LITERALLY THREW HIM ON THE CAR AND SHOUTED AT HIM?? The director throwing him at the car like that shocked me (in the wrong way). It was horrible, and overall there were some scenes where it didn't feel consensual at all. That's all I had to say.

Brooooo. I have mixed feelings. The main couple (Taehan x Doyun) is so sweetttt. Although, based off the chapters they literally fell for each other and started dating kinda immediately even tho they were "enemies", it truly didn't feel like it. I didn't realize how quick that relationship change was, only noticed it when looking at the chapter number. And that's a good thing! It was little plot with mostly porn but whatever idc they were sweet and it was fluffy. Wishing the best for them and I def can't wait for the side stories with them and their baby. NOW. The side couple (Dojun x Jinyoung). FUCKING HATE IT. I feel so bad for Dojun. It started getting a little better towards the latest chapters of their story but it still feels like Jinyoung doesn't like him at all and is only using him. Also what the fuck is up with Dojun's brother, Do-hwa. He's fucked up. An abusive piece of shit and a rapist. It was already hard enough as it was to read with Jinyoung using Dojun for his pleasure, but now that this incest shit has also joined it's making it a lot harder. I'm holding out hope but goddamn. Hopefully Jinyoung saves Dojun, they leave, and it's proved that the love is mutual. That would be a nice redemption to their love story. That's all.

Honestly a nice and fun read. What ruined it for me is the beginning, cause i felt so bad for Eunkyum. he was treated so poorly, but somehow still fell for Jihyuk. Like, i get he's hot, BUT COME ON DUDE. Furthermore, the constant "no", "stop", "i don't want to" during smut is disgusting and borderline rape and it was so uncomfortable to sit through that shit and then read them saying shit like "oh he loves me so much he couldn't hold himself back" BRO YOU WERE RAPED? That mindset is disgusting and it needs to stop, it's so popular in yaois. Other than that, it was nice. Wanted more chapters, maybe their co-workers finding out their dating? That would be interesting lel. But it's fine.

Absolute masterpiece. Started this years ago, and stuck till its end. I loved the pace, loved Seungho's character development. The art is absolutely gorgeous. I can't put into words how much I love this manga in its entirety. Their stories were so tragic, but I'm so happy that in the end they could finally live together in peace. Absolutely adore both Seungho and Na kyum. Planning to read the side stories too (which will come out in the summer). This manga I believe will hold a special place in my heart. If I were to be objective, yeah ig it's kinda Stockholm syndrome, but idc they're cute and the character development made it worth it. A rocky start but I'll excuse it. I liked it.
