The King of Home Cooking

Complete | Gawee | 2000 released

This manhwa had a little bit of angst and made me feel uncertain a few times, but honestly looking back at it all now it just feels so realistic it hurts. This is actually how relationships work: serious discussions and daily bickering, jealousy, possessiveness and misunderstandings over trivial matters. I couldn’t even blame Jiho for acting like he did, because he didn’t really do anything wrong to begin with. First of all, he’s SAVAGE. Moreover, even tho I’ve never found myself in the situation of having to choose between 2 guys, I totally get his reasoning and I don’t think “experimenting” kissing with the producer was actually that much of a bitchy thing to do. Jiho told producer Lee he might have chosen him if he had met him earlier, but Lee was just too different from Woohyuk. Jiho wasn’t aware of it, but he actually fell in love with Woohyuk (or at least with his look) at first sight, while he wouldn’t have even considered making out with Lee if the producer himself hadn’t proposed it to make Jiho forget about Woohyuk in the first place! The development of Lee and Jiho’s relationship was definitely due to Woohyuk’s confusing behaviour and the breakup with Jiho. I don’t find it strange that Jiho liked to receive love and attention from both of them, since it’s pretty obvious throughout the whole manhwa that he is kind of a narcissist who tries to hide his inferiority complex with vanity. Therefore, he felt important when two handsome guys starting flirting with him. But he always chose Woohyeok anyway, and producer Lee never really stood a chance against him, and not because Jiho feelings towards Woohyeok were out of pity and compassion, as Jiho actually says on the phone when he decides to cut ties with Lee, but because he just fell fucking in love with Woohyeok and love is not rational. He wasn’t in love with producer Lee. Y’know when you think “I’d really like to be in love with that person because I think I’ll be happy with him”? That’s what Jiho’s feelings towards Lee are: he feels safe and comfortable because he can talk about his problems and insecurities and he also feels some kind of attraction. But there’s not love. And fairly enough he wouldn’t have been happy anyway with him, because one of the latest chapters showed that producer Lee’s first love was Jiho’s copycat, so, if Jiho had chosen Lee, he would have probably lived in a lie while being just a rebound! On the other side, Jiho argues with Woohyeok, he’s jealous of his lucky life and talent, he’s possessive and feels like he’s not enough to be with him, but this rush of sentiments was born exactly because he was actually in love and he did actually care the most about him, but his pride was so strong that he almost ruined everything and lost Woohyeok for good. Fortunately Woohyeok was not prideful at all, just kinda possessive and sensitive, so he made the first move when they met again. Then they managed to get their happy ending and live like most couples do in real life: arguing but loving each other’s and growing up together through highs and lows. Good plot overall!

Trace Of You

Complete | AG | 2000 released

The best kind of story: full color, short, healthy relationship, protective and whipped puppy seme and great plot with both fluffiness and tears but not filled with angst. Chef’s kiss.

Inner Beauty

Complete | Fairytale | 2000 released

I honestly don’t know why this is not as famous as others BLs out there. Perhaps for the lack of sex scenes? Honestly, I didn’t even realise it and I didn’t even care. The plot line was just immaculate as it was without any additional scene or detail or change. When the story developed from a simple body exchange between the MCs to a whole reincarnation AU with aboriginal background I LOST MY MIND!!! I’M A SUCKER FOR REINCARNATION AU and this was sooo original and well portrayed, with no angst and toxicity in the MCs’ relationship, but just growth. I honestly wish such things as fate and destiny and soulmates and reincarnation were real (T—T) then life would probably be meaningful.

Three Months to Live

Complete | Suizi | 2000 released

I was thinking “why is it described as a comedy if I’m crying?” than the MC died because he drank alcohol after taking his meds and honestly I’m still laughing. what’s wrong with the ending tho :( I get that it’s a Chinese manhua with censorship and all but fuckkkkkkk not even a confession or a proper ending c’monnnn. I need sides chapters, this is not enough!!!

Anoyo de Omae ni Suki dato Ieru

Complete | Tsukizuki Yoshi | 2019 released

At first I really thought Kunimi had gone back in time as a second chance to make things right, but the fact that it was only a projection of his subconscious desires while he was in a coma after attempting suicide really made it hit real different and real hard. I liked the process of Kunimi recollecting his memories and waking up after that, finally knowing what he had to do to make his life meaningful once again and this time for good. Very beautiful!! Also Gaku wtf the commitment.

Born to Love you

Complete | HAYANE Dento | 2000 released

Reincarnation BLs just hit different. Prefect.

Aniki no Ichiban Oishii Tokoro

Complete | MIZUHARA Zakuro | 2019 released

Since the story was cute af, the art style DOPE and they don’t look like twins at all, I’m gonna pretend they’re not related and continue living in the grace of God~

Koiseyo Sennen Neet

Complete | MIZUHARA Zakuro | 2018 released

Imitation Mate

Complete | Makoto Kashiwagi | 2000 released

I don’t care if the seme was a shitty dude or whatever. I didn’t see the plot twist of the last chapter coming AT ALL, that was LIT. Even though Yoshiki used to steal girls from Tsukasa and then toss them away (which was pretty rude of him), I remained certain about his love for the uke and a happy ending for both of them until the very end. Then, the whole romantic love story about fate and stuff ended up becoming a WAY MORE REALISTIC AND INTERESTING story about an alpha obsessed with a fellow alpha to the point of not caring about his beloved’s future as an omega and choosing to force his transition and impregnate him on purpose instead. I wish it was longer.
