But I read this in one go so I wasn't really attached to the characters...kind of sad that there was no redemption for yeomra, just... death. It would have made my life if, right before the yoomin unalived yeomra, there was a moment of hesitation in the former and/or a tiny bit of regret or questioning (Is this really what I wanted?) in the latter. It could have been just a shared gaze between the two without the anger or the desperation to kill or be killed, a quiet moment amidst the chaos, a shared knowing or acknowledgement that "We were once like that" Haaah it's always characters like yeomra that appeal to me the most. So much potential in their relationship, so much growth, so much angst, but alas, the author had a different plan entirely.
It's so interesting to me that while euijoon had reminiscence for ahjusshi in his youth, the same ahjusshi that we were introduced to in the beginning was what carried this story for most of us. He was aloof, a scary thug-type, older guy, but who was also actually honest and non-toxic. I remember finding ahjusshi to be a really refreshing character. In many ways he is an ideal partner.
I really had a lovely time with this manhwa, and will reread after some time. If I should point out a little flaw though, it will be the long years of separation. It didn't feel particularly heartbreaking, just felt like a lack of something, like some sort of ennui that felt flat and which I felt needed an oomph.
I actually like this but idk if the short chapters and the long gaps between each update is worth my time.
I feel like they've been hinting at us for some time now that sihyun in the past wasn't the nicest person and that he's earned hatred/enemies because of it...and it's starting to get old to me.
At this rate, it looks like this will take a year or two to get completed, and keeping up with it only to get crumbs is so :/ I'll just come back when it's done lol
Not by a lot but like if you'd have to compare? Black hair dude is obsessive and idk he just doesn't seem well mentally lol. The sunbae can express himself better. He cares about the mc just maybe not in the way mc wants him to?
But i don't want mc to end up with either of them. He's at a mental space (low self-esteem, lonely) where he can't properly set boundaries around himself. When you're at such a low point, you really shouldn't be letting people into your life. So much imbalance










I recommend reading this if you like smut. There's smut almost every chapter, and they're done really prettily! The art is so pretty!
It's my first time seeing a swollen anus thanks to this BL. I've read other BLs mentioning the anus being swollen, but I've never seen it. Now that I think about it, it might actually be my first time thinking a bl character has a pretty hole! Lmaooo
Yian (or just Ian) is a good character in terms of being a male lead in a BL. He's just a walking green flag. The MC, idk, I don't agree with some of his actions, but I also do understand where they're coming from.
This is an easy read. A quick read, really, if you skip the smut. Plot-wise I feel like it doesn't deliver much. Not much tension (in the plot itself, not the characters), not much conflict, not much characterization outside of the main characters. There really isn't much.
The villain feels more like a side villain in that he doesn't feel like an actual villain. If anything, most of the elements in the manhwa feel like they were added to the manhwa just for the sake of adding them. Almost like fillers, just to fill the pages, when the actual goal is to deliver smut. The 60+ chapters feel unnecessary long, and I read this in one go.
Just read this for the smut, is what I'm suggesting. You can read this without thinking much, and I do understand that there are times when people want to do just that! The strongest point of this BL is the art and the smut!
