I loved the slow burn and pacing. I however did not expect this level of possessiveness because there was kind of no need. Two of them came from healthy families and it did not feel natural to me. (And their first sex (like he said multiple times that it hurts?)) But overall this is a must read. Cute and sweet.
This was nice to read.
I find the pacing a bit off however. Spoiler; Like their first kiss and confession. MC's feelings changed a bit quickly. We actually did not see the bad brother at all(expect the paparazzi arc) after they got together witch is not what I expected. We didn't see his mother or father too. Idk. Could have been better. BUT their relationship is really cute. I like the smut too (≧∀≦)
hm i mean they did say the mc couldnt let go of the memories he had with the first brother rsther than still having a crush on him, he wasnt too sure if he liked the guy after all he did to mc, but i agree! a slightly longer slow burn wldve hit the spot heheh
Yes. I am a huge fan of slow burn. I just know it would have been a lot deeper than faster burn like this.
Okay here are my thoughts. CONTAINS SPOILER
Firstly, I like the start a lot. Even if I am not big on coincidences I didn't mind it. I thought, ah ok childhood crush. It was cute.
Jin was on drugs and wanted to have sex and Matthew was high on Jin so it added up. I looked forward for their meet ups. The way Jin's slowly falling in love was endearing.
After that there is unfortunately the "drugging situation" I think there was so much missed opportunities on the drug thing. Like Jin is all hot for only Matthew and not really seeing anything but him. And Matthew cleanse him from his addiction or helping him in this process. Matthew is a gentle person so I wish he showed Jin this side of him instead of rough sex almost every time. Especially NOT drug him when he kept him in the house. That was WAAAY out of line. Drugging someone who is already addicted? Break their trust when they already can not trust anyone? Nope. That was uncool. He could have done any other thing except drug him. That reminded him past and he was right to be angry.
Last but not least, studying abroad? Why. I get that story needed to move on from what happened and they needed to grow but studying abroad? How could Matthew leave his beloved person and leave for studying. I don't think it matches up with his character. They of course could have go abroad together but did not for some reason... Like Jin has to wait too I guess. I understand the choice of storyline but I guess what I'm trying to say is I find it weak. Why separate when you just got together? They are not just lovers they are families now.
Ah before I forget, I think drugged Matthew's sequence was a little bit(A LOT) long. It was not consensual like Jin said and was not necessary. Jin was violated, couldn't say no because he didn't want to hurt Matthew but that doesn't mean he wanted any of that. I don't find Matthew to be responsible in that kinda situation but why that much long sequence...
Anyways this webtoon is not bad. But I think ending storyline could have been better.
People love to be loved you know... I understand if he likes him for that and I don't find it wrong. You don't expect people to be that vulnerable to you and it's actually so loveable. To be able to see a person loves you this much to show their weaknesses to you. I don't know I find this storyline very relatable.
Spoiler
Even if Guwon doesn't understand the gravity of the things he had done I don't know how could they come back from all that. I am reluctant to call this story a yaoi now.
But I loved and still do love Guwon! Because I think he doesn't have a clue about what's wrong. (He is like a baby when it comes to social relationships) So I don't want him to be hated. But what can we do at this point. :(
Of course they were wrong. This types of system bound to fail because it is too harsh. We all have loved ones that we would do anything for their sake. I appreciate our man for sticking for what he believes and not get scared to do the right thing.
I commented here in 2019. I was begging for an update. I was telling that I would give up anything for it. Hahhah.. Now its getting a live action (AND I'M HERE FOR IT) but I don't think I have the heart to read it again because it is so intense that I cannot handle it being unfinished. Ahh.... This manga is something else I swear.
