solemn and tranquil expressions; the stillness of it all and the emotions that ripple through the pages of delicate but decisive lines and shadows; maximalist use of space

What movie everyone should watch??
Speak No Evil (2022) Any horror enthusiast would appreciate this film and simultaneously hate themselves for watching it. While it lacks the spectacle of the paranormal nor the social commentary on the depths of human depravity (ahem Salò ahem the serbian film ahem), you'll be forced to admit with absolute certainty that yes, this is happening so......

Behaviours of Characters/People with Psychological Problems
You raised some excellent questions. I'm not a certified expert/professional on this topic but just like the author, I like texts that examine the extremities of sanity and the lack thereof. I'd like to preface this by saying that psychology is a young science and still evolving with time. So my insights are just insights, they're not facts and s......

underrated(minority opinion)

Don't kill me: the manhwa did a great job showing what a relationship would look like if the couple has polarising love languages, and that a person's personality doesn't just do a complete 180 once they're in love.

I also find it Frustrating that Yeo-won(the boss, top) is still bit of a douche dating Seok Yeon(bottom)..but then you see Yeo-won sharing something of his past or his thoughts with Seok Yeon that you just know he hasn't shared with anyone else. He has also opened his home to Seok Yeon even tho he's a very private individual and has essentially given him free rein. Personally, that says a lot. Actions>>>words

They have softened around the edges since dating (IMO the epilogue needs more tenderising) but at the very core, Yeo Won is still a pragmatic emotionally-repressed workaholic and Seok Yeon is an idealist with a somewhat rose-tinted perception of love.

Idk, I guess I'm impressed? Author had the guts to stay committed in leading the story with their personalities over a preconceived notion of what BL romance is supposed to be til the very end. (Plus it makes their banters and interactions so much more interesting than I wuv you kiss sex kiss i wuv u more sex)
