This honestly broke my heart. Won’s paralysis in the face of his father, to Han-gun’s obvious change and reluctance due to fuck knows what his own father told him when he found out. The father is such a monster, abusive and homophobic, the fucking conversion type therapy was unbelievably sad and that end — honestly amazing the dad died, but also for Won to finally speak out, to express himself and ask his father questions only for him to never have answers or closure…ugh that time skip and the depression is not gonna be fun
I love how much the ML is communicating, being honest with his feelings, it’s sooo green-flag seme energy! Honestly, the mc digging himself into a deeper hole because of his anxieties is so relatable, looking forward to him finally realising how much the ML is obsessed and in love with his ass lmao
RIP to seeing Baek Youngchan’s humongous pole on my screen, it will be sorely missed
'Sorely' was definitely a genius adverb
(=・ω・=)
It’s always the homophobic tops which eventually end up on their knees eating their uke out like god intended
Ugh the sexual tension is killing me, honestly love the pace of this, it’s kinda shit when smut jumps straight to penetration, like give me slow-build, give me hand jobs and oral, blue-ball me with all that blushing sexual realisation, give me that slight-nipple peeping through like it’s the most scandalous erotic thing ever…make me wait for that penis in ass action
Why was this one of the cutest, saddest, sweetest, well-written, well-drawn, stylistic manhwa’s ever! The beginning fooling you into thinking it’s gonna go down the captive bl trope, to then end up as an amazing apocalyptic bittersweet romance! I was also so impressed with how the author handled the SA, it wasn’t sexualised, or over-drawn, it was a traumatic part of the mcs past, the emotions of both mc and ml; the violence, the ptsd, the ml wanting to end the nightmares, his worries of being part of the problems — it was meaningful. Even the Polaroid picture to signify some healing. The wolf analogy was beautiful; them both becoming more like the other, loving and healing together. All I can think about is them both as old men, that when one went, the other would want to go too. Ugh gonna go read some old man yaoi to cheer me up
The over 2 hr phone convo is so real for the beginning cute stage of a relationship! I like the depiction of the mcs insecurity, those anxieties in a relationship are real, especially the difficulties when one person feels confident and comfortable, and the other feels more isolated in their worries. The contrast of Jiwon’s fears and Jungwoo being more open/accepting is still a sad reality in queer relationships. Also, you just know it’s gonna be a cute animal or something - jealous baiting is too real lmao
This is uncomfortable, but that’s not always a bad thing. The author has created a dynamic on power and control, everything is set up for the contrast of mc and ml; age, experience etc. It’s an interesting look in the thin-line between consent and abuse, the MLs obvious manipulation and power over mcs autonomy — disliking when mc tries to become self-sufficient. Even the attraction to mc being young and “babyish” — something men often creepily covet and exploit. This story has the possibility to be “good” if it ends with the mc realising the situation, getting away from it etc, however as manhwa predecessors dictate; it’s near impossible. Or, you might just like the fucked up dynamic, and well…people like what they like
It is uncomfortable and it is interesting to see this almost covert display of a toxic dynamic. I remember mentioning how i found the mc being called baby, soft, and how small his mouth is uncomfortable and a user mentioned that he is still an adult and theres nothing weird with being call baby (it is when paired with those other comments imo and that should be obvious). The mc is supposed to be in his first year of college so thats like 19 or 20 in Korea i think and the mc is incredibly naive. And isnt this his first romantic and sexual relationship?
Like yeah we can say he is a consenting adult but how many stories have been told by women in their late teens and early 20s of being groomed/manipulated/coerced by men in their mid to late 20s and 30s+. I find this story to be similar and do find this degree of loose intimacy to be potentially damaging on the mc it could affect how he views romance, intimacy, and sex.
I see comments acknowledging how certain parts look and feel off but then dismiss it as mc is okay with it he consented.
I really do agree with you how this could be a "good" story if the creator would be willing to acknowledge this imbalance that can happen in relationships between adults but like you i doubt it.
From the looks of it, the author will explore the psychological side of it.
I'm worried that by the end of it the mc will still stay with the boyfriend. I'm just basing my guess on the cover being them two instead of a love triangle. Maybe there's a season two and the relationship for the cover changes? But I feel like judging a webtoons by its cover often accurate
Accidentally hit post too early.
I'm no puritan, Mr Blue smut anthologies are no problem for me. But reading this - if it doesn't explore the psychological nature of their relationship *that the story is building up,* I'll be incredibly disappointed.
A virgin top?! A yearning top!? In this economy?!
