kei_k's manga / #Slice of Life(74)

Her plan of revenge was so foolish. I mean, sure, if she wanted to make him feel what she did, she could've done it without actually sleeping with him. I mean, how could you even stomach sleeping with someone you hate so much? Oh well, they say there's a thin line between love and hate, and she was certainly not even firm with her resolution.

LAST READ: CHAP 19

Finished until Chap 44.5 // Shed tears. Truly. I wish there were more chapters exploring the leads' relationship since the buildup was far too long to just end it like that.

Scanlations upto V3 Ch2 only.. This manhwa's pretty interesting and funny.. Err, I don't know, but I really like it so far.

My thoughts are quite overflowing that I want to write a separate entry for this one. Anyway, I have mixed emotions about the ending. I saw it coming, that she'd probably end up with him (Taehyun) since he was the first guy shown in the beginning, and we saw them interact more that the childhood friend (Jinhoo), and she was blinded 'til the end with the angelic facade of Heewon, who was actually a wild chick. It was dissatisfying, perhaps because until the end, we only got comedic parts from the main couple, and even the ending for Jinhoo was melodramatic, leaving us thinking that he still loves Joonha but he'll marry Hyejin anyway since she's been with him for a long time and he knows that she needs him so much. It just makes us feel more sympathetic towards him, when we should've shifted our feelings for Taehyun. I mean, man, I know they spent a lot of time together as partners, which totally made Joonha comfortable around him whether she acted masculine or feminine, but I wish we actually got to see more scenes where she shows her feelings more earnestly. Hey, sure she initiated some kisses towards the end, but like Taehyun said, they didn't even feel romantic or what. If only we were shown more of them, and show that Jinhoo has truly moved on before marrying Hyejin, then it would've been fantastic. Sure, I disliked Hyejin at times, but I still find it unfair to have him marry her just like that. I know he liked her, but he admitted that he didn't love her. Well, of course, he could just learn to love her afterwards, but having those lingering feelings for Joonha wouldn't help too much. Well, she's kinda desperate because she knew she could never win against Joonha so she'd grab the best opportunity to keep him regardless if she's truly loved or what, as long as they're together. It's like, she knows that she's liked, but she's still hoping to be his number one. Well, I just hope that things work out well for them, since I wouldn't want Jinhoo to pursue Joonha in the future after he's married. Imagine, if in the future, they meet again, and he knew her secret or realized that Joonha's truly a girl now, then his feelings came rushing back to him, losing his reasons and pursuing her. Man, that's be so bad. Not only would he be cheating, but he'd get in the way of the relationship Taehyun's worked so hard to build. If it were me, I'd tell him off, and say, "You had your chance before, but you blew it when you chose her over me. I can't blame you though, because that's the guy you've always been -- gentle, faithful and chivalrous. You can stay that way from now on, too. You've gone by without me for the past few years, you'll get by in the next years as well. This is it, you'll always be a part of me, as Kim Jinhoo, my forever friend, not as a man. I am happy now, building my life with someone who loves me after everything I've been through. He's been with me at my worst, and he made me feel alive again. I would not risk to hurt him anymore than I've had. Goodbye."

It was interesting, but feels incomplete. There are too many loose ends.

17 Ch 7 // Oh myyy... Finally.. A BL that does not revolve on guys falling in love at first sight and getting it on. The story is realistic and the pacing is good too. I wanna read more!! I personally do not mind if Yuiji does not end up with Yamato, but of course, I would like it more if they do. However, considering the situation, I hope it gets handles well and not rushed, since, for now, Yuiji is straight and still committed to his girlfriend. I don't want him to break up with her for Yamato, but instead, I wish he'd come to terms to hid feelings soon. Like, as he said, he likes his gf, but doesn't particularly love her. I appreciate how he started to make efforts to make their relationship work, but as it is, he still feels like it's in a stalemate so I hope he just lets go before things get more complicated. Once he's single, he can then slowly discover the intricacies of love more freely. I'm also glad that Yamato doesn't give in to Sakura despite him basically throwing himself to Yamato. I liked how he tells him off and asking him to value himself more or something. I like how their principles are opposite of each other but Yamato doesn't completely reject him if it were only friendship. It's like, at this point, Yamato is still sorting things out, but he's not reckless enough to do it with anyone else just because his love isn't requited.
