wait, isn't the chef is the seme. I thought th pink guy is the uke.
no, i’m pretty sure the pink hair is the seme. i’m getting those vibes from it
idk, but the cover makes it seem like the chef would be the seme. There's rarely any seme who is shorter than uke in korean BL. I mean I could be wrong but probably not.
i’m just going off of their personalities. the chef is shy, quite soft and non-confrontational. i’m not saying that those traits make a character an uke but that’s usually the case in most webtoons and manga. the idol is very outgoing, very pushy and shows interest in the chef which makes me think that he’s the seme. idk, i could be wrong but i’d be surprised if fhis wasn’t the case
Ive learned over the years reading BL there are certain personality dynamics that determine who is the seme or uke. And especially when you see the combination of certain personalities that automatically means this even more. Safest bet (ex. Prince / seme vs. Delinquent/bottom) is almost exclusively done so now when I see a delinquent and this is especially the case in yaoi I know they will be a bottom doesn’t even matter the height or size difference. BL relies on tropes to the point that they become cliches. Once you’ve noticed this BL becomes extremely formulaic and you can guess within reason like in the case of this story (Manipulative narcissist/ seme vs. emotional punching bag/uke) and 8:10 you’d be right.
you worded it perfectly :D BL’s predictability can be very boring at times, but i still find myself searching for particular tropes to ease my boredom. i think i’m all too familiar with the generic character dynamics at this point lol
You just know with his personality and if this was a yaoi, pink haired would have raped the chef by now.
