My sugar to the bitterness of life. (Although 19 days is sweeter personally)
This shit is oof ♡

I just think I can appreciate 19 Days sweet moments more than TMDGS's since it rarely happens in 19 Days, and it's vague.
TMDGS is really fluffy and really ideal, but I'm not saying it's less sweet than 19 Days.
Just saying bc there's the drama in 19D, I do think the sweetness stands out more than it does in TMDGS

Maybe because TMDGS is a yuri manga, I think something can't be done by girl couple like in 19Days. In 19Day, they can fight a group of gangster, kidnapped, even taking pic of his (He Tian) Mr.P and send it as a joke to Mo.
Shortly, they share sweetness & fluff in their way. Although their story concept is the same. They're taking flashback of their past good time. Since Tamen De Gushi is: 他们的故事, which means "Their Story" in chinese language.

It's funny bc people are expecting the characters to treat child better.
But it just goes to show that the mangaka kept to their personalities. Athlete boy is a quite selfish and unsympathetic child, that's why he didn't even take notice of uke's hardships and even tried to put the blame on child.
And the father also had his own insecurities, and as men (in Asia culture), these things should be kept hidden because it shows weakness. And men shouldnt be insecure and weak, that's why he turned the tables and blamed his son instead.
Which really made them have their own personalities.
Just because it's fiction doesn't mean that everyone should change in character to suit one person in the story.
I agree that the ending was soso
But I think it had its charms.
Plus about the chores that he went back to doing, he stopped because he was troubled with athlete boy. He could've stopped so much sooner, but when shit happened with athlete boy, that's when he took action and wanted to leave. Then when things got better, he changed his ways cause he was more confident. Or at least that's what i think.
Kudos to the mangaka :)
Smol boy's hater is gonna realise how adorable and hardworking da boi is and fall in love with him!
Then small boy's big boy will smack boy who falls in love with small boy and small boy will properly reject boy who fell in love with small boy and TADAAAA everythinf's gonna be fine after about 3 chapters of painstaking drama and angst :D
