moody_bish's manga / #slice of life(90)

the dialogue is perfect. the emotions are justified and i can't help myself from absorbing their pain, love, and happiness. there are more to it than just love triangle and misunderstandings. here, there is maturity in loving and confronting the insecurities that are often mentioned in most yaoi plots: like having kids, being possessive, being clingy or whiny, and being accountable of the choices that you've made. sure, I was heartbroken but the execution justified how it concluded and for the first time, im happy for all the characters. there is satifaction and warmth. as if im being enveloped in a warm and tight embrace. ️ Reread: i was too indulgent. The woman literally had everyone suffer, or at least triggered their suffering, just coz she was suffering. She hated ppl finding their happiness just because she couldnt...and the men had their emotions tragically played. Main couple was saved when the girl left, but now... the other guy has to suck it up as he lost both. Fck.

It drags the suspension bridge but it delivers in the end. We have a supposedly "straight" seme who remains attached to his gay senpai even if the latter is making opportunities to cut off their childhood friendship. It's most likely 70% musing or mulling over their feelings toward each other, 25% of the straight seme making moves on the uke, and 5% of the uke meeting the seme halfway.

it starts off slow, or maybe manhwa's are really written like that...but the character growth really shows and the love is there. i just feel like the ending stopped abruptly and hoped to know more about their transition living abroad.

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.

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- 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.

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.

Aeyon... But Aeyon turned virgin, soft boy, and in a semi-healthy relationship with a tattoo artist. Aeyon is from the book ive just read before this (i forgot the damn title) and he was a tough guy Soyeon pleaser. But here we get to see the softer side of him who became too soft to the point of being a flustered virgin. But well, he's still a pleaser, just for another person. Im glad he got to do what he likes tho and his scars are now covered with flowers

The pacing is commendable . It is also wholesome and gives you that relatable feeling because the characters are defined by what they do, think, and say instead of being narrated as someone and expecting them to be like that.
