this is like deoksun x junghwan ALL FREAKING OVER AGAIN. I CAN'T BELIEVE I EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN BOTH THAT DRAMA AND THIS MANHWA AND GOT BURNED TWICE. for both it's really a shame - great premise, great storyline, completely ruined by choosing the wrong end game couple after building up the other SO WELL

i wonder if shou-chan liked him / likes him even though he made a homophobic mess of things, he seemed desperate as heck when icchan left and still writes to him to this day
anyone kind of want to see them patch things up??? there are way too many possible ships why you gotta throw in a childhood friend??
btw this story is gold. seriously.

came for ch. 25 summary and got this mess instead.
for the haters: go kiss a hyesung mushroom

the art is great and they were pretty surface level cute but i had a few problems
1. they never talked directly about the ex-gf miki and how intimate she and the seme are calling each other by first name (i know they stopped after they got called out but..) and her answering his phone. just overall intimacy that was uncomfortable to watch - wish the seme/uke talked about this so seme could correct his behavior and maybe let miki know they shouldn't be like this and they both stop. they seem to be too good of friends - there was some buildup for this drama and not much closure besides uke saying i want you to be mine alone, which.. doesn't address this directly
2. the seme bullying the uke wasn't cute and i know he was trying to get a reaction but it was one sided and made the uke look pitiful
3. uke basically let seme do whatever he wanted - not that seme did anything terrible except #1 up top but he was kind of a doormat and just did whatever seme wanted and had nothing to hold onto for his own
4. i read the whole thing and don't feel like i got much of their personalities out of it, beside that they're both good looking and love each other, not enough substance
okay that is all

This story could have had a lot of potential, especially with the behind story.. maybe like an actual conversation with the brother that he had always been gay and was frustrated that his brother came out first for example. Or how the seme seems to actually never loved any of the women he dated. So much personallity growth potential. The general story was really bad but the drawings were nice!

I agree with both of you! I really wanted to like this because I could see the potential in the story, it's like the author started to write storylines for each chapter and just failed to find resolution for them, and then failed to include the finishing touch of giving them actual personalities and just focused on how passionately in love they were. they started off with a bantering relationship which just fell apart as the story went on and nothing important was added. great art though
he put on dat apron and cooked breakfast like.. guess i'll be his wife
