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...

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.

I... I'm not so sure about this HAHAHA i must be too immature and inexperienced to say something about it. But, mental wise, yeah, these two have a huge age gap so they have polar thinking. If they weren't attracted to each other, i doubt they'd like each other even after 4 years. I mean, you'd grow up and see things different and somehow even be ashamed of your youthful foolishness. But thinking about that, maybe i'd also understand Sihoon's insecurity. Even if that wasnt manifesting at the end chapter. Glad Mari and Junyoung became friends in the end hahaha I made a topic about my own thoughts about the ending tho.

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.

frustrating to read. It will build you up then lets go of the conflict because they just run away. As if the author gave up on resolving it. Inconsistent details and is runabout. It gives you an expectation which it doesnt live up to.

Mmm, quite chaotic and a misplaced story somewhere in the beginning. This is gearing for a more positive ending for brothers who became stranged because of their shitty parents. If there's something I like, it's the overflow of emotions which the brothers felt when they had to overcome their insecurities. It's satisfying to watch them meet their lover halfway.

I feel bad for forgetting the main couple. It must have been the number of BL I've read after it HAHAHA. This is good read for understanding that betrayal is not a sign to stop loving or receiving someone else's affection. These couple are a sort of extremes of dealing with betrayal. While the uke is bitter, the seme hopes that something better comes after it. The uke wants the traitor to suffer while the seme wishes the traitor to achieve their goal for betraying them. It's also nice to see that even when the seme is trusting, he doesn't act like fool. He communicates his pain but act out on his love nonetheless. The uke is also self-aware of himself and, in his own way, shows how much he loves the seme even if he is insecure and anxious.

Judging the story alone, Junwoo deserved better but since his story is already written, I can only be frustrated of his past rather than his present. This is sensitive and though it is fiction, the element of flow and consistency is vital. One does not simply make it work through convenience. By the time, Wooyeon shares his own issue and Junwoo was given this vision of picking himself up... In order to chase after Wooyeon, I have lost my interest. The whole segment after was rushed and unnatural. But well, don't take my personal take on it as a spiteful response. I was simply disappointed at how the ending played out as a montage, dettaching itself from the dragged out scenes of their cohabitation.

Is this the future? Homosexuality as a new normal?? They were seriosly just ordinary men?? This isn't even fucking fantasy, this is a FUCKING VISION! I love everything about this!!!

This might have had a prequel? As much I like how interweaving and simultaneous the relationships in here, there’s some sort of void that I can’t help feeling at the same time. It’s like a need for closure that should’ve already been there but I somehow missed it.
