Just remembered how naïve the MC was lol
For those not in the idol/drama community the only reason the Red dude apologized is because he doesn't want Yo il to accuse him of bullying when he debuts. When something like that happens to idols or actors, the end of their career is assured in South Korea.
Really like this! Haven't read OC ans I probably won't, but this looks nice. Hope seme stays a green flag (though he technically isn't since he lied, but I root for him)
Again. Great representation of South Korea
Please be careful when travelling there. This will happen to you, some people go out in the night just to assault drunk foreigners. And guess what? You won't be able to do anything about it because the foreigner is always wrong. This sh1t is normalized among men. Please be careful and wary, don't drink at all if you know you're bad with alcohol.
Yesss cry bitch cry
I hope Kim Dan gets enough of a backbone to throw him out for AT LEAST their first meeting.
Ngl I'd love a story (not necessarily romance) where the mind reading plot is pushed to it's limits.
Jian Yi and Zheng Xi omgggg we got the hug again!!
Idk what people are on saying they're just bros when he just said "I'm waiting for you to earn money and take care of me"
Please bless the illustrator's eyes qnd fingers. The coloring, the art, the craftsmanship that goes into every panel... beautifully done
Didn't read this entirely just wasn't my style but while reading I somehow imagined the bottom as Yoseob from BEAST (between the smaller stature, big round black eyes/pretty face, and main vocal) lmaoo
I geniuinely think that this story had a true IMPACT on the korean yaoi industry.
Have you noticed how nowadays so many famous stories have similar artstyles to this one? How the characters have similar personnalities to Seungho and Nakyum?
Though in this story, their relationship, and how they act, can be explained. Seungho is the way he is because of his childhood trauma. Nakyum is the way he is because Seungho is a nobleman and he knows he can't do anything against him. The trope only works because of their circumstances (yet some bl authors don't seem to understand that, and make asshole-ish tops and doormat bottoms just because).
It's also funny how this historical story does a better job at implementing actual homosexuality (and homophobia) than most others do. Seungho is looked down upon, and his desire is seen as an illness. Pretty much the same for Nakyum.
I like how their relationship starts out with only sexual passion. Which explains why they both get excited by the mere sight of each other (Yes, Nakyum does too), but they only connect on an emotional level deeper in the story.
But I think the best part of the story, besides the revolutionnary art style (because as I said, just look at the most famous stories right now and how similar they are to POTN) is the dialog, beautifully poetic, extremely unique and very emotionnal.
Sorry, ment to like not dislike
Good analysis
Ngl though the story was interesting I was initially reading mainly for the art style because my boy Jitae was the most magnificient character I had ever seen. Now he looks 10 years older and 3 wives later lol
The artist doesn't play with the coloring/shading anymore so the art looks flat, impersonal and very generic. I guess the old style wasn't sustainable because of how much work it took but this really took away the soul of her story (´д｀|||)
And seems like (for once) everyone agrees
I was about to say this he looks bulky in an odd way. I like buff guys but the way he looks in the recent chapters make him look like he's gonna have a hard time breathing. The colors are also flat now and the eye gap looks so--
It seems like this is what the artist does, she keeps changing the art style throughout her stories. It’s one thing that the art style improves with time but another when it keeps changing and frequently. I love Secondo Piatto but the main characters looks changed 4-5 throughout the story, it was pretty annoying how they changed so much that many times =/
