I LOVEE the chemistry between the leads here, they're one of the few romance couples that I ACTUALLY REALLY WANTED TO SEE TOGETHER and not just root for an ML because well the MC has to end up with someone in a romance novel *shrugging my shoulder*. Their banter and chemistry before they even formed and realized their romantic feelings for each other is perfect and the way they got together is so refreshing and real I actually teared up (love these two idiots). In a sea of manhwa couples with weird, imbalanced power dynamics or stories that just seems like they got together because of the suspension bridge effect, they're one of the few that just seem so, perfect for each other because they just *fit* you know? no destined fate or big emotional stressful events that trigger their feelings, i dont know how to explain it but their development is cute and natural.
Another thing I love is how intimate they are with each other, just seeing them together stick close hold hands, just napping together, sitting close together in scenes and just seeing them homely and domestic and natural AND OOOOOOOO how they just respect each other as a partner, no one in the pair feels like an "accessory" if ykwim. Like, they didn't get together just because our MC needed a love interest or because its a romance that needed a couple to be together. That scene where Yveria (sorry thats the spelling i got used to) told Harry that she didn't want to be his whole world and that he should experience and explore the world independent from his masters wishes is **MUAH**CHEFS KISS and the way they officially recognized their relationship :(( its just so THEM i love these two idiots so much, have I mentioned that yet? That I love these two idiots so so so much.
oh my i thought i was the only one concerned about putting a baby into a wheelbarrow!! AHAHA
they're one of the few bl couples in manhwa that have the taller main bottoming without it being bara or weird and you lot want them to switch? now THATS the type of greed they talk about in the bible
oh my god they're so corny i hate them so much i hope they explode im exploding them in my mind rn
wow that dinner scene is soooooo... sigh.
It was nice seeing all the kids getting to act like kids this chapter, tho i do wish for more plot heavy mini arcs like the one with ms. martha (and we even got to see devon desmond as a child!) I actually cried a bit with that arc.
I feel like with how fluff and domestic the chapters are lately and how overpowered the main cast is, we kinda downplay the fact that they're all still newly post-war and that tensions are still high between the countries. It makes me nervous because of just how real the commentary and dialogue and characters can be.
damn her comment "I still think there's better options out there ; I dont think I can support you. Sorry." IS SOOO HYPOCRITICAL.
Doesn't she realize that by doing all she did, she literally just gave them their first experience of homophobia in the town and thus made "dating in small town" hard??
Saying that there's still other options out there and its for their own good, who are you to say that? that hurt me incredibly as someone who's been hearing that since coming out ://
Sotty! I accidentally downvoted you!! I meant to upvote!!! Mangago wont let me change it :((
see, i would understand if all this was coming from a relative.
BUT SHE'S LITERALLY JUST THEIR NEIGHBOUR HSJSHSHAHSHBXHD
i get her whole "being different" spiel but she's literally just their neighbour im crying AJSJHSJAHHA
she was still wrong in setting up our ML for dating sites without his knowledge and being homophobic
omg he finally said what's on his mind.
People gotta remember that Ido isn't a mind reader, that (supposedly, not concrete spoilers just a hunch based on whats shown) while this isn't his first life, that doesn't mean he knows everything about Sejin considering the life they led in the first life.
He's virtually done everything right this time around its just that Sejin is an anxious and very emotionally constipated people pleaser that prefers to keep the peace and fears confrontation (which was touched upon on the chapters where his og company went under and the extent of his family problems was revealed). He's nice but he's not perfect. He has problems he also needs to address and work on.
Their relationship now is a tango danced by two very clumsy dancers so be patient. They're both not perfect and thats the point!! No way in hell you guys clicked in this and expected them to resolve all their shit first 30 chapters lol . Their relationship is messy and dramatic and complex and yall knew that when you guys clicked on this.
Hot take but I actually think this is pretty well paced, the build up is actually well written as most scenes have purpose and direction. I think the problem is that most chapters are "empty" and that it can take 1 or 2 chapters to finish a scene.
Anyways im glad were all here now, I just hope their talk doesn't get interrupted or something, so curious about their past life I hope more gets revealed soon.
