I expected the city boy to be bratty and rude, and the country boy to be cold, harsh and possibly really forceful in sex (to break the prideful character)- but oh my gods the characters turned out to be so loveable instead ;-;
Like MC was shocked at first but on the phone with his grandpa, you can see how quickly he just came to terms with everything?? He didn’t try to take things out on the other guy or act unreasonable, and was so accepting?
Although the ending honestly surprised me haha I didn’t think they would stay in the countryside. Souichirou said he wasn’t knowledgeable regarding agriculture and he also had a suit... I thought they’d both live in the city together, eventually :0 wonder what’ll happen to his grandpa’s company since he was meant to be the heir too... lol- good news for Arashi I guess
As I was reading, I thought of a bunch of things I could comment about: the beautiful art, yuri x MC *^*... but-
Man all I can think about is the scene of her carving the star on Migen’s fang ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Can we just- talk about it- I can’t, I really-
EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SCENE WAS *chef’s kiss* AHHHHHHH- I pulled an all nighter reading this and it was so fun, I can’t wait for next season ~
I first read this maybe 4 or 5 years ago... whenever it first came out. It was one of the first bls I’d ever read or even come across. Years later when I’d already forgotten what it was about, the impression it left on me made me consistently recommend it to people- and even though my memory is so bad, the title always came to mind immediately (it sounds so pleasant to the ears).
Reading it again now that I’m older and can honestly relate more to the characters what with dependence or unrequited love... was an experience.
To be honest, I was scared. I found this around the time I met- and actually I’m pretty sure it was recommended to me by- someone really important to me, who’s no longer a part of my life anymore... that’s why even though I couldn’t even remember what it was about, I couldn’t bring myself to reread it. That is, until just now.
Ahhh I’m over-sharing lolol but basically, this is hands down my favourite bl to date. It’s so lovely and still incredibly impressionable for me.
I’ve always been a fan of the dark, twisted and psychological ones, and yet nothing comes close to this. Maybe it’s just cause of personal associations but ╮(￣▽￣)╭ !
I love the art style !
The story, if it were a person, could be described as an airhead... it’s sweet and nice, but strangely floaty- regardless, it’s interesting enough to continue reading- really cute c:
Also why is no one else shook that the bar owner dude had a thing for Han Li- !! Omgg ;^;
I came here to scream about Chorong x Naseon but the comments below have alr done that hehe-
I didn’t realise there was sth between them until that scene where Chorong was drinking milk, then the next panel, Naseon took his straw ughfghhnso it was subtle, and so bloody cute I had to do a double take-
I started reading this yesterday and I stopped not long after. The dialogue felt really awkward and read in an amateurish manner- if I looked at it objectively, practically nothing was appealing to me. But then, if I looked at it from another perspective, I simply could not explain why I kept reading today, after I woke up. Something about it drew me in. Specifically the characters. Even when the art wasn’t the most natural, or the words weren’t idk AO3 quality, it felt like the characters could draw you in, then chain you up and weigh you down in the freaking ocean- except you weren’t drowning, just stuck, floating, in that weird pressurising yet floaty feeling you experience in water.
I read the top comments before I started reading to just get a rough feel for it, and found out about the MC’s father’s affair with ML’s brother. From that, I thought I’d dislike him. But somehow, he became the character I sympathised with the most. He never really got that closure, and it felt like everyone put the blame on him- I mean, he would blame himself the most, honestly. I’ve never experienced this before, but instead of feeling angry or sad, I was frustrated. Frustrated that they weren’t real. Not like in the way I wish a fictional crush weren’t fictional, but because I felt like I had to do something. I wished they were real so that I could interfere and do /something/ because they just... didn’t deserve that kind of ending.
I’m probably a hypocrite to say this, but as a personal opinion, I think Donghyun should have at least shared more of the blame... with the photo? Like... I just feel so bad for the father.
After I finished it, I put down my phone and just sat outside for a minute. I think the characters- the reason why I was so drawn to them- reminded me a bit of some things in my past. And when I thought of that after finishing it, I just cried. It left such an empty feeling in me, which is amazing for something I just read online-
To be honest, I felt angry at the main couple for a while- actually, I probably still do resent them a bit. It felt so sad that they could have that happy ending (agh that sounds horrible, but I’ve never been a fan of happy endings for personal reasons lol).
Apart from that, I adore the side couples especially Juha and Doyoon- the latter might just be my favourite character in it haha, he’s the real MVP *^* their relationship dynamic especially in the beginning was so lovely.
And about what I said in the beginning, to be honest, the creator’s writing and art style changed a lot as the story progressed. It started off difficult to read, but eventually even all of that started to draw me in.
Their storytelling grew by margins and I was so impressed as I read it. The feelings were being conveyed better too. It was just so fascinating watching both the characters and the creator grow.
Ah, on a random side note, Juha looked so pretty in that one panel (“... gone all the way with me?”) in chapter 66- it just stuck in my mind...(づ￣ ³￣)づ
It might be hard in the beginning but if you get through, past Season 1, I swear it’s so worth it.
This is my first ever time writing such a long comment but it needed to be said ahhhhh- I feel like I won’t be able to read anything new for at least a few hours or days.
//completely off-topic though, but why is this shounen-ai? Technically it’s a yaoi, but just censored, isn’t it?
this is a god tier comment.
Doyoon like fsksksks he's so adorable. He is also the Korean fanbase's favorite obviously everyone is crazy for him and the author has more official arts of him than Taeyi and Seheon I think they need their own story already. ヾ(☆▽☆) and Juha is too pretty even in his ugliest form if that makes sense
Also, I think it needs to be uncensored and explicit for it to be yaoi?
Because even if they go "haaah haaah" naked and sweaty together, its up to us readers to imagine what specifically theyre doing.
Maybe theyre doing yoga.
Only one chapter so far but it was such a pretty and lovely read ~ I’m interested to know why he’s calling him a ‘god’- maybe he saw him at the festival when they were younger
Also the blond guy looks so good with glasses ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I was intimidated by this story at first after reading the comments and stuff, but I read it anyways and it turned out different to what I expected. It takes a while to get into it but once you learn more about the ML’s past, it gets really interesting. Worth the read
Thank you for translations, I can’t wait to see what’ll happen next
I just want him to get his revenge so badly- whether the mum gets arrested or is killed
Probably the only thing that really bothered me was the fact that she probably has her husband’s body in the garden... and she grows fruits on top of it... then gives the fruits to the kids at the children’s institute to eat...
i knew about the body in the garden but now that you mention the fact she gives the fruits to the children which i forgot about its so ....I dont have the words for it.
I read the comments before starting and at first I didn’t get it- like it didn’t seem that bad. Then the whole marriage and- ahjdbnfkdkdk what the fuck-
I’m only on chapter 18 and idk if I wanna keep going or not- their relationship makes no sense. ML’s entire personality just seems marriage-obsessed in the worst (read: extremely violent) ways.
He just wants to marry her bc of the oath and hasn’t fallen for her or anything yet- and the MC sees him like beat ppl up to the brink of death MULTIPLE TIMES, but, oh he’s pretty, it’s nice when he says my name- and just ignores it???????????
Idm that she’s a bro/siscon, I just wish it stayed that way without the emperor lowkey...
I don’t even know what to say holy shit this was so original- it was fun in the beginning, a really good read. Then [spoiler] the whole game thing after fake Sadako???? Got even better omg, I’m really into these kinda stories hehe
I want her to step on me with her heels and call me pathetic (￣ε(#￣)Σ ... she’s gorgeous and she KNOWS it. She may appear arrogant, but rightfully so?? And it’s not like she’s a bad person either at the same time? She helped the mum and son who were being abused after all ~
