I like the variety of characters in the story. Even having Nishima here as a supposed love triangle was fun because we are given a sadder version of being gay. We know that it is tolerated but never truly accepted. That theme of homosexual struggle is real and confronted in this story which is nice and really heartwarming.

Path to You

Complete | Sinran,Kisai Entertainment | 2000 released

Ahh seriously. I feel bad for having just one scene ruin all the fluffy feelings I have for Neil. Jensen was just perfectly written and he snatched my heart... Anyway, I love the art hahaha. Reminds me Kang Daniel being Jensen and Park Jihoon being Neil. LOL. The story is also cool and I love Elle's role and how she handled Neil's love issues.

Calorie

Unrequited love has its limits, but it's funny how quick someone caught Toshi by the time he declared his surrender. And this time, it doesn't feel "too quick" because 15 years a long time and the love might have been just a felling he was used to... And Jun was always there for him. Jun's offer was just a trigger to finally move on. And this couple is so cute, adorable, and wholesome. Just when it's about to be dramatic, they pause and laugh at themselves.

A Strange Joke

Complete | Cho Hyerim | 2000 released

it's dynamic and the uploader made the whole thing more interesting. i can say that min is too easily persuaded and warped in his own head, which i relate too well (because it does bring out the most selfish things). his friends are to die for. sijun and sehun had weird vibes in the beginning, but they end up being wholesome (except Sijun's history). i like that there is depth to the characters even if they tend to be pushed to the background when they are no longer needed (eg, Jina, Sehun, and Yuni [i forgot Min's friend's name]). also, I'm rooting for Sehun to find himself someone who would spoil him back.

Who Can Define Popularity?

Complete | 拓本,KENAZ,极直社 | 2000 released

the confrontation scenes are the episodes that cut me so deeply to the point of just sobbing and reflecting on who i am, what i deal with, and my flaws. And i really hated Yujin, only to realize that i saw myself in her—coz I also went thru those phases of trying to belong or seek attention by being a hero or the cool troublemaker when being a golden child didn't work. So excited for her lmao, spoilers but like the growth in her makes it more satisfying to read because the only bastard here is the stalker whom I don't even wanna learn more about. but really, the characters and their struggles are so relatable. and the way they cope, especially like Daun's cousin and Yujin who are pretty much "cancelled" if ever show that they will have to live with their mistakes and confront those theyve hurt while also just moving forward to be better people.
