imcrazybutimfree's manga / #Drama(74)

Fun fact: at first I thought Seunghee would end up with Seungtaek. When I realised that the author was moving the focus to Seungtaek and Kyubin instead, I understood it’d be a very promising manhwa to read, and in the end I can confirm it. Even tho the plot felt at times a little bit dragged, I enjoyed each character’s journey, I cried and empathised with all of them. Suhyeok with his lazy ass and bed hair, his protective and affectionate side, and his reserved but bold behaviour totally represents one of my ideal boyfriend’s archetypes. I fell for him completely. Seunghee was pretty annoying at the beginning, and his “fling” (let’s call it that even tho nothing really happened between them) with that thirty-years-old geezer really mad me f*cking mad. I found Seunghee’s naivety not cute at all, but pretty stupid instead!! Nevertheless I appreciated his characters’ growth (that Suhyeok highlights in the end when he notices how Seunghee has become more friendly and easygoing towards strangers). Eventually I ended up enjoying Seunghee and Suhyeok’s story the most (even tho Kyubin being whipped and dazed for his hero Seungtaek is like the cutest thing ever!!). The character I appreciated the most because of the emotional damage he inflicted to me is Kwon Imbeom. I considered him annoying at first, because he was always third wheeling my fav couple, but the revelation of his short-term memory loss left me dumbstruck and the fact that he didn’t remember his crush made me kinda sad too. But the most emotional scene happened right after he regained his memories and casually met Seungtaek again (who welcomed him with a punch

The Borderlands being the place where souls physically go during near-death experiences was not a very surprising plot-twist, but the story in the complex was good af. It studied the human psychology, human instincts of survival and protectiveness towards other human being or towards themselves, it studies their journey of growth and in the end the survivors are all brighter like new people who don’t care about their past anymore. I don’t really care about Arisu and Usagi. I’m so freaking sad that all the survivors don’t remember each other and the impact they had in each others’ lives, especially Doudou, Agni and the legless girl, I wanted to see them becoming a family

The length of the main story feels perfect but it leaves so many things untold!! For example we have basically no informations about the origin and the nature of the relationship between Hua Rong’s assistant and Cheung’s brow haired friend. At the same time I would have liked a whole side story about Hong and his band member, Jiwoo: a simple love story concerning showbiz and past traumas but with no rape and mafia. I liked the gory details that were present in the story in both a physical and psychological manner and it made it so the reader could’ve never blamed the victim (uke) and his decisions and desires afterwards. I loved Lu Hao and Mao’s relationship btw... mutual love with conflicting feelings and circumstances. Overall very heart wrenching and dramatic. I would have liked to see the reunion between the two brothers since their “side” plot doesn’t feel wholly fulfilled.

If the ending hadn’t been that rushed I would have ranked this story higher, since it was getting much more interesting in the second half, there’ve been also some moments that made my heart clench. Reincarnation is one of my fav tropes btw ^^

I shipped Seungho and Dooyon from the start but wHY LET JOONYOUNG ENTER THE PICTURE, HE WAS SO CARING AND LOVELY AND HOT HE NEEDWD TO BE HAPPY, WHERE THE HECK IS HIS SIDE STORY AAAAAAAH. Maybe I’m the only one lol but I’ve loved Seungho from the beginning (I love psychotic characters and he was kinda scary but also such a CUTIE), so I appreciated even more his change of heart after the probation period. Take care of your mental health babe <3

I didn’t think I would give five stars to this story, because during the whole part in which Skyler was reflecting about his feelings and hurting because of jealousy hurt me so freaking much that I really wanted to hug him and then jump off of a cliff with him. The chapters from 36 to 42 circa were so angsty but really top notch (how cute and childlike was Skyler’s confession please

Very beautiful story! I rate this 4 stars instead of 5 because I feel like I needed more accuracy regarding Dean’s depression.

If it wasn’t for some inconsistencies in the whole thriller part of the plot, I probably would’ve rated this manhwa higher, since the dynamics between the two MCs were just SO GOOD AND AMUSING. Kang Heon and Duwon the reporter were obviously just devices to mislead us, since whenever the barman appeared he had this very creepy aura around him that made his culpability pretty obvious. Even the MCs suspected him a couple of times but ignored their right assumptions thinking they were only being paranoid. Moreover I was expecting some surprising plot twist regarding the reason that had led the culprit to the whole stalking, threading and kidnapping matter but he ended up saying he had done all that “just because”, which gave the character and all the plot created around him too much inconsistency. I also would’ve liked to read more about Kang Heon and Duwon (I would have welcomed with my arms open the development of a love story between them...). The MCs characterisation kinda filled up for the rest: Taekyung is the the speciman of the perfect boyfriend (protective, confident, decisive, HOT!!!), while Jaehwa is the one of the most relatable, salty and badass uke I’ve read about so far. At first I thought he would have been the slutty kind of uke but he ended up being everything but that!! His tsundere personality won my heart over in a minute, and can we please talk about drunk Jaehwa? Or when he’s teased by Taekyung? So cute
