For years I have read countless manga/manhwa each with their own unique uke's personalities. I'm sure there comes a time when you find yourself liking an uke character in yaoi, shounen ai, or really any other type. However, never have I ever felt any strong attraction to the ukes in any of the manga/manhwa/manhua that I've read...until I met Yiyoung. I think Ahn Yiyoung is one of those 1/10000000 uke types that you rarely get the honor to see in a story. If you're like me, you probably get tired of "plain" ukes in stories where they don't possess the skills, smarts, or looks that rival the semes and are often-times "babied" in stories and/or overshadowed by semes who possess way more. Another thing that also turns my attraction/committment to ukes off for me is that those that DO have the looks and skills, are often-times snobby, promiscuous, lazy, self-centered, and have this "I don't want to work hard" attitude. I think one of the many things that make me fond of Ahn Yiyoung is the fact that maybe he gives off the qualities that you would expect to find in the stereotypical seme; perfect, skillful, good-looking, level-headed. Yiyoung I have found, is a pretty perceptive person who puts their heart and soul into their work, can adapt himself in extreme circumstances, and he doesn't let his inner emotions get in the way of his work nor waver in dark times. I love how he has pretty good skills such as singing, good driving (remember he wasn't just any driver, but the COMMANDER'S driver, which is actually an impressive role when recruited for military service), and now he's taken the role of a model which we'll see soon. He is not without some skills and determination, which I'm sure is the same reason Kanghee is also attracted (or starting to) get attracted to him.
And YET, even when he appears to be well-endowed in looks and skills, there is still that bubbly innocence he possesses which I feel that ukes often lack after being given all of that. In short, we know from these facts that Ahn Yiyoung isn't your typical pouty, run-of the mill uke but has proven to stand on the same level as CEO Kang and still have this purity about him. It's a bit funny. Based on his looks alone, you would expect Yiyoung to fit into your typical wet-behind-the-ears innocent naïve businessman who would stumble his way through mistake after cringey mistake but...no, he's not like that at all.
If you've read all this, then you sure have a lot of patience and thank you for taking the time to humor me on my rant.(づ￣ ³￣)づ
