this webtoon was so hyped all over socmed that i kinda expected a multi-layered plot riddled with twists, but it was quite simple and light-hearted. ig the people yearn for a refreshing story in a sea of toxic, angsty bl.
both mcs were entertaining & relatable to an extent. i was all for seyeong pushing heejae away at first (bc wtf home invasion). tho upon seeing heejae’s pov, i switched up and started rooting for him. tbh, if seyeong’s internal dilemma prolonged any further, i would’ve been well and truly annoyed with him lol. so i teared up from joy when he finally confessed! i still wish the push and pull had been shorter so there’d be more chapters of them as an actual couple. heejae is MASSIVE GREEN FLAG. i love how he grounds seyeong and stops him from overthinking. and ohhhh, u can clearly see how seyeong gets fonder and falls for him even more. they’re perfect for each other…
lastly, i wouldn’t have enjoyed this series as much as i did if not for the MAJESTIC art. like the artist really made sure heejae had zero bad angles gahaha plus his in-game avatar is gorgeous too. the female character designs were also PEAK.
don’t let his pretty face fool you, wooyoung is one of the most assertive bottoms. ever. he can be naive but never a pushover. he knows his charms and uses it to be a menace to society. it’s a nice change to see the top get strung up by the bottom’s whims and pushiness instead of the other way around (most bl nowadays). i do have some gripes with the plot because it felt like the author either forgot or ignored earlier plot points just to rush to the pregnancy arc. some details also didn’t make sense bc in the world i live in, seoul is atleast half a day away from new york even on the fastest plane lmao
while i love wooyoung the way he is, i still expected some character development or growth on his end, but he remained the same even as a parent lol. others may find that annoying though for me it’s understandable with the way he’s always coddled. kyungju really deserves the most credit here because he has the patience of a saint.
i adore the art style! the artist def knows her anatomy and has a good grasp of dynamic poses and natural expressions. i’ve read too many where faces look good but their movements look so rigid and soulless that it’s distracting
I keep re-reading this bc i haven't seen an uke as bratty and spoiled as wooyoung. It's so refreshing. Every bottom out there seems to be suffering from uncontrollable circumstances (poor, sick, in debt, orphaned), from the top (toxic, SA, a literal criminal), or both. It's nice to see a bottom who's a winner in life. He's a second generation rich who doesn't need to work, spoiled as the only omega in an alpha family and youngest child who lost his mom, married to an equally if not richer family, and has a doting husband that is just as obsessed with him. With those conditions, I'd be more surprised if he doesn't have any arrogance in his bones.
may i know if their coercive relationship at the beginning will be addressed or downplayed in typical yaoi fashion??? would be nice if there’s some groveling involved since the gaslighting from jaehee in the first few chapters is just ick. normally, i’m desensitized to the dub/non-con trend of this genre, but i think i’m finally getting sick of it so i gotta know
