Meh at best

There's no real development of the characters. Taego, the main character, seems to be an idiot for story's sake. No way a 40 year old semi-experienced gay man is this plain dumb and naive. First he was naive and a pick-me-up with the love interest, and then he's naive and a moron with his competitor.
None of the characters develop (if anything Taego just seems to regress mentally as the story goes on), we don't really know anyone's backstory or who they are. The plot just jumps from one point to the next to the next without telling you who anyone is, motivations, personalities, etc. We don't know jack about the competitor except he maybe knew the love interest since childhood (maybe? It doesn't say, he just makes a claim or two), he appears to have money but we don't know how, we don't know what sort of life he leads, we don't know jack. It isn't until the last chapter that the love interest just says, "His family is too influencial" What? How do? Who is his family? What is his family?
Taego has a sibling you don't hear about until halfway into the story, he's there for a couple of chapters and then never see him again.
Taeho watches his competitor leave his man's hotel room after clearly having sex, watches him kiss his man, witnesses how he's trying to take his man away from him and is like, "This guy cares for me so much, I feel bad for being jealous of him." WHAT?!
Taeho almost gets raped. Like 5 chapters later, gets almost raped again in pretty much the same exact scenario, by the same people.
It's dumb. It really feels like the writer just wanted to brush against a lot of tropes but not actually write anything too long.

Artwork is meh. Story is meh. Characters are all extremely meh. Just....... Meh
