But this isn't the resolution that I hoped for. It's too sudden. I was really loving the last few chapters of this too! I felt like I left all of that built-up anticipation at the door into this chapter. Or the chapter itself is short which is why it all feels too quick for me. Like, one moment we were gripping at straws, with yeonoh holding up until the very last moment, and then him folding just at "I like you more than you realize." (Although I think I would fold too, who are we kidding, Mr. Kwon's arms looked warm especially after that rain) but did I need a kiss? Did I need resolution-smut? Did I need to see passionate lovemaking? With tears on the side? Yes I think that's what I needed. And it's not necessarily the smut that I need, but rather, a visual representation of all those feelings. I think I just needed a teary eyed kiss tbh. I wanted to see tears from Kwon. As aloof as he is, I don't think tearing up because the person that he loves is breaking down in front of him is outside of his emotional parameters.
What did u think would happen when norman keeps watering it
I didn't even check out the chapter anymore. I've seen the this raw sometime last week, so I just clicked, saw we were at the bathroom scene and noped the fuck outta there. I think I gotta finish reading the raws bc following the English updates just to get traumatized by sungtaek's creepy ass is starting to get to me. Will the trauma be smaller if I read it all at once? (Minwoo is definitely more appealing to me in the raws tho so I think I know what to do )
As someone with who can't retain bl memory, boy am I glad I forgot. Like I still kind of recall the gist of it but I'm really glad I don't remember.
And sungtaek is even creepier in korean. Like. It physically hurt.
Norman will sleep with minwoo in like a chapter or two and oh God he's just so much better. It's probably his sex CV but he's just so gentle and gentlemanly that sungtaek just went straight to the trash bin in comparison.
It's probably because of the age dynamics that is more present in the korean version, but I much prefer Norman when he's with minwoo. Guy's feisty and has a backbone. He's just more alive to me when with minwoo idk.
That said, I prefer minwoo so much more than sungtaek which is why I don't ship minwoo with Norman lmao. Norman can fuck off. With sungtaek. Idc.
Bc of the dialogue/chemistry between mc and ml. Mc had spice, he had a bite to him, he was self-aware. And I loved that his suicidal tendencies/depression wasn't the defining attribute of his character. It was refreshing.
It was really funny to me in some moments. But then their relationship would take this not-this,not-that gray area aspect to it that goes almost all the way to the end? That is somehow accounted to the mc failing to read the room and ml not communicating anything. It grew old and was tiring.
Also, the development of their feelings seemed super shallow to me that I didn't believe they actually liked each other for most of it. Like yeah they had good sexual chemistry but what else was there? We were intentionally kept in the dark about ml's feelings until very late into the story and I felt that was a waste because ml was a very good ml imo.
But the pacing, even just for a single chapter felt very Jumpy to me. Idk if it was the translation or the paneling, but it wasn't a very smooth ride.
The ending, too. Ah but what use is there to complain about that.
I really liked this for the humor and would consider rereading because of that. 2.75-3/5
They both looked over their shoulder, gazing longingly at the other, not knowing the other person was/would be looking at them too. It's too much for my heart. But mutual pining? Give it to me. (IN REAL LIFE TOO PLS ㅠㅠ)
He was probably the guy mc saw ml with, the one he said looks like haeyool. Also, they were mutually attracted to each other when they were young but for some fucked up reason ml went for his non-blood related cousin instead. But ml's ducked upness is so hot
Edit: dropping this for now bc I cant live for ongoing series. I wish we had more works from author bc the art is so pretty
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Edit: it's always this manhwa that leaves me incapable for any kind of thought.
Especially when he's being so possessive like this, like when he's got that bada-crazed look in his eyes it's just UGHHH ME WHEN
I'm sorry I laughed lmaoo. Even if he were just kicking the door, his knee wouldn't be up so high. Like I didn't expect him to show up in a full suit but the pose is just funny to me idk
But if it were me I wouldn't have let kwon take the plane back on his own! I'm just saying! Instead of the cigarette I would be smoking something else bc I have no self-respect like that.
Anyway, I'm glad it happened the way it did. Also loved how kwon respected yeonoh's wishes (although more groveling would be cute too /winkwink)
Or so I'm assuming. All this for nothing. Just put a ribbon on your head, say you're the present and just PERFORM
Like touch some grass dude. It's fucking uncomfortable when they make you so aware of their feelings and not have the decency to tone it down to make you comfortable. Suffocating. Like Norman already drew the line. Wdym married couple???
