moody_bish's manga / #Shounen ai(45)

Basically, all these couples were fated to each other since the day they met

the flow of dialogue is confusing and even the plot is all the place. the author made an ambitious attempt to blend sherlock holmes with a distinct storyline that does not match. it may look like it's well blended because their lives intertwine but it doesnt because the story of xiaowei, xaiofeng, xiao, and mi sheng could stand on its own.

1. The pacing for the plot is nice, each of the panels matter to the story. 2.I'm sad that Siwon was treated as anotber body and tool for the plot to keep rolling.He was raped goddammit. 3. I feel sad that I didnt get to see more of Taemin's actual body 4. I'm conflicted with Minjoo (?) because on one hand he was true to his words but on the other he made Taemin go around circles. Still, if he didn't, Taemin would have kept running away so I'm glad that the author really made a strong foundation for Taemin's character. Actually, most of the characters have solid personalities and each of their actions and words match "who" they are. It's only Siwon that I feel bad about because he was really made into a tool. I couldn't even get a good grasp of who he is except that he cares about his relationship with his twin. Besides, for a smart person and "likeable" person like Siwon and with the CDs going around, wouldn't he have earned more pity than have people bully him (ok fine, being bullied is not improbable) and if they were so rich, the parents wouldve known about the CD and know that he was raped. Siwon was written as a loser and was treated as such that it somehow contradicted the likeable and "stole everything from me" twin.

This is EVERYTHING ️. No unnecessary quarrels or obstacles because everything just happens for the sake of the plot. Heesu and Seongwon are so wholesome! When one pulls away, the other push themselves closer towards them. Maybe it didnt have to take 8 years for Sunwoo and Dahm to meet again and it's sad to leave us hanging. Still, seeing as Sunwoo actually waited and was happy for Dahm to get back to him, those two will be alright. And my heart just erupts for Seongwon and Heesu's couple ring and how Seongwon called Heesu his husband.

I'm sad for Junseo, but i'm also glad that he has loved someone honest like Jaewon. Also, when Karam was being attentive to Jaewon before Jaewon even confessed, I knew things will go well for them. Im sure Junseo will meet someone who'll love him, too. I'm rooting for his future. and Yoonsung? well, he'll be fine HAHAHAA

tbh, i didnt like how passive chiwoo was until i understood why he seemed incapable of taking action. although i admit, i expected too much from him. poor boy, he suffered from Jihyun's twisted expression of love. thus, im so happy whenever Kyujin appears and saves Chiwoo from breaking down under Jihyun's pressure. also, I'm glad that it ended this way. no, i dont want to ship chiwoo with jihyun because the latter is filled with hatred and violence. he isnt fit for any romantic relationship at all. but a "what if" situation could work for me because if Chiwoo confronted Jihyun's feelings then it could habe changed their future even just a little. Im happy for Chiwoo and Kyujin. Just like Chiwoo, i also hope that thoigh therenare acts that are unforgivable, Jihyun could redeem himself and grow to be a better person than his father. im just glad Jihyun still has a big brother looking out for him.

i- here are 2 songs that played in my head: too sad to cry by sasha sloan and life moves on by finneas. not jazz but they just played in my head. the story began awkwardly and the dialogue sounded unnatural. however, when the underlying conflict surfaced, i began to admire the straightforwardness of the dialogue. the songs used and the character building matched even when the pacing was somehow slow, like listening to jazz (i tried listening to a few of the songs, starting from lucky to be me by monica zetterlund). too sad to cry began playing in my head when the truth about Jaejun's suicide unraveled. life moves on played when they were slowly coming into terms with it. also, i can picture the first season as a musical. the second was more serious and fit for a movie. my emotional and sentimental heart breaks and heals while reading this. especially because of how impactful Jaejun's suicide was...

I know the art style is cute but I cant help but think of the worse possible outcomes hahaha. Then i realize, this one is meant to be fluffy and highlighting the passion and determination of an aspiring actor who got to meet and be in a relationship with his idol. Thats why even if i enjoyed it, im still tense the whole time hahaha. Also, i want to emphasize on the childlike character of Fanboy. He might seem like a dreamer or childish that doesnt connect to reality but it is this trait of his that i envy the most. Each waking hours is driven by his purpose to be better in acting which makes him vibrant and more lively. Just as what i learned from socrates, it is best not to lose the curiosity of a child. Star is totally adorable and down to earth, it’s almost scary. Im glad that the author showed how human he is with his ‘negative’ traits.

the lack of communication occurs 70% of the time and i witnessed agonizing push and pull between the characters. im glad that even when Mingweon was emotionally compromised and ran away, he was anchored by his lover, lover's family, and sister. Most of the characters are problematic but the author does not romanticize them. the author shows just how difficult it is for a relationship to last when there is no communication and trust. and i like that about this. it showed character development, realistic concerns, and growth.

For once, I read something that addressed the bullies instead of just blaming the attractive one which the bullies use as an excuse to bully. It was funny, frustrating, and made me furious. But I loved how Jaemin and Yuri's relationship strengthened. Im unsure about how i feel for the archer and the narcissist but i guess theyre supposed to have a happy ending. Also Jumin and the other guy is so cute hahaha. But i cant deny how furious i was when the red read bullied Jumin because of his cowardice. Gah, im glad he apologized and made it that he doesnt hurt Jumin again. By the way, that girl had it coming to her. She's not even aware of her mistakes so let her be punished for it until she becomes aware of it. That silver haired hyung was let off too easily. I already assumed that he raped Jaemin, and maybe the poor boy is just too mentally strong to get over that but what the fuck? Anyway, he redeemed himself slightly when he settled the aftermath and broke up with Sayeon.
