No because if you're asking me with that face, I would jump you in the car

Like it's often a pleasant surprise when a bl is decensored after all the lightsabers but I badly need the lightsaber for this one. Dicks are already ugly in real life, why it gotta be a jumpscare every time I read an update??

That reads weird, I mean I was just reading a verse bl anthropology before this and this cp really has the potential to be verse.

With Nakwon I feel like he wouldn't really care about positions, like it's stopped being about exhibiting authority for him at this point. With how much he's said I love you here I feel like sex would be purely an expression of his feelings, like he wouldn't care who's entering whom and it would just be about being close to Mokhwa fr. Like he would wear Mokhwa as his skin if he could

And for Mokhwa I think it would serve him well to take a break from just receiving all the time, and I don't mean just sexually. He's always had things just happen to him, and he's never really been the one to initiate whether it's receiving attention from the ladies, receiving affection or the fact that said attention is being removed/not supplied anymore (gwangwoo). Like, my man, you're living this life too

Like why did this not surprise me, I didn't even blink

I didn't think to call this art style watercolor until the panels where the ghost bride recalled her name (the part where the art transitions into the negative space (the canvas texture, which I also just noticed a few weeks ago) in paint splotches. Like that part looks to me like watercolor paint effects but I can't really say the same for the rest because it looks crisp and the colors aren't transparent. Is it safe to call this semi-watercolor?

And no that doesn't mean I like Nakwon. I started reading this today and always thought it interesting that most of the story is told in Nakwon's perspective. It looks to me the author intended it, we weren't supposed to like Nakwon at all. His thoughts on his rape, him as a person, they were all there for us to see. We know he intended to rape Mokhwa so we can't call it a mistake. Rather, a grave sin, that he acknowledges he did, which is Something. Too often in these BLs, the rape is only brushed upon if even at all, so for Nakwon to admit it, show to us readers that just because his feelings for Mokhwa have become love doesn't mean he can be forgiven for what he has done. And despite his admittance, he still fails, like that unconsented kiss in the summer vacation house (thank goodness for the fireworks), so we're always reminded that he is an imperfect person.
And is that not the most human a drawn fictional character can be, in trying to change and failing? Honestly, I don't know if he can ever be forgiven, that's up to Mokhwa ig, but as a fictional character, his growth is something I would love to watch upon.

Also, I just really love the language in which the story delivers itself. It's almost like reading a novel. I usually view gangster-themed works as tacky but there's something sophisticated in the language used, even with Mokhwa where it's more...raw.

Also, Nakwon really could have given Mokhwa more time to make sense out of what's happening, but Mokhwa has acknowledged that this is a situation he can get out of, he has free will, so that's Something.

And I don't know why I jumped into this thinking it was already completed. Rip me.

Luhak, Do Sehyun, like

Like that's a whole arm

I loved the art and the story, but because of the length, all the base information necessary is squished in the beginning, which is hard to take in all at once personally, because 1, it's 3am, 2, I'm bad with names, and 3, half my brain is turned off when u read manhwas. I imagine it would be easier to absorb the story if it were colored, as in the colors would have helped me in compartmentalizing all that information, but the art is truly beautiful. And unique for this day and age. I loved the use of screen tones. And it was personally interesting how it told so much in the panels despite the panels being small. Idk if I have the words to explain what I mean but I meant it as a compliment. It feels larger than life despite being enclosed in frames.

Also the concept of reincarnation has always been fascinating to me, and I would always enjoy seeing different takes on it I think I would have to give this another read (or two) to have full appreciation of it. But even at the state of my brain right now, it's perfect. 5/5.

Despite the obvious lack respect for something as basic as a person's authority on their own body.

At this point, when I see something like this, I stop seeing the fictional character but the person behind the work. Like??? Miss ma'am what are you thinking?????
