Just gonna leave a brief comment here saying this was a very good story. Beautiful art as well. The ending felt a tad rushed, but the story as a whole made up for it. So it shouldn't put you off reading it. Ending was still good, especially the last panels in the side story, like, finally!! Haha Overall I think the changes in the story, the multiple layers and twists made it very interesting. I felt invested the whole time. 5/5 from me.
So I've read 21 chapters so far and I really like the story. Just had to take a quick break and write this comment before I continue reading. Something is really bothering me... Why is Sarang - and Woojung - both blaming Sarang's sexuality for their family breaking up, when clearly it was the abusive father's fault? The mother just did her job as a parent and protected her child from an abusive father. I often notice this trend in many stories, that the father's bad behaviour is hardly ever questioned, it's just accepted and everyone else get's the blame. Annoying. Anyway, I hope it will be resolved :P
Honestly yes I think even the father admitted too later on that his behavior was very abusive but the brother still chose to ignore it and blame it on Sarang being gay
I really like this manhwa a lot. I read it the first time last year and just read it again now. The art is so beautiful, the story is really interesting with great plot twists. Overall I really enjoy it.
Buuut....
I think Heejae forgave Taekyung a little too quickly and too easily. I feel like all the build-up towards that moment was kinda left a bit flat, like "Oh you tricked me, that sucks, but anyway... So about that girl at the hotel...". I feel like it would have made more sense for him to focus on the deception instead.
It would have been nice to get a few side stories about Heejae's future too, whether or not he would regain his memories, if he got his intelligence back fully or not, whether or not the truth would come out about his brother being the one who hurt him, stuff like that. Especially considering how much Heejae's secretary blamed himself for the accident, it would have been nice to see him a bit more at ease. It would also have been great to see him actually hooking up with that dumpling actor =)
Other than those things, I don't have much else to "complain" about. I really enjoyed the story and it was visually stunning. So 5/5 from me.
So this is another one that I put off reading, mainly due to not liking the art style at first. But after a long time, I decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. It was a beautiful story and I warmed up to the art style rather quickly. This manwha is now one of my favourites. Very high quality work, with interesting characters and real topics. Shouldn't it actually have a horror tag though? It was very brutal and disturbing at times. The ending was happy though! :)
Now to the spoilers....
Gale's character stood out to me. At first I thought he was just your typical sadist psychopath (and clearly he IS disturbed). But, what made him interesting to me is that he only seemed to target vile people. One good example is when he nearly got arrested and he could have killed the detective easily, but decided to just leave him be. He also seemed to care about his brother Simon in some way, even saving his life and wanting to protect him from getting killed by the prosecutor's schemes. So yeah, Gale was a disturbing and sick character, but it was interesting to see those little hints of sanity here and there.
I think the plot twist with Veronica was a little bit too much out of the blue. I think a good plot twist should be foreshadowed in some way, so when the plot twist happens, it makes you go "Ohhhh so that's why, now it all fits." But Veronica's mental health only deteriorated towards the later half it seems and until then she just seemed to be a normal, harmless girl. I feel like too many of the previous plot events were tied to her. It would have been better if she had just been a sensitive girl who went insane from jealousy towards the end, that none of the previous events had anything to do with her. That's my opinion at least.
Part of me finds it almost too disturbing that Pete actually died under ground. Don't get me wrong; I have no sympathy for him at all, he was filth. However, I would have preferred if he was dug up, put on trial and placed in jail. It would have been fitting for him to rot away in jail (and to end up as someone's bi**h), while seeing how everything he did up until that point was useless and how those he hated ended up happy instead.
Finally, I must say I really like how Conor and Simon actually took turns with being the bottom. I wish that happened more in BL. Their relationship felt truly equal and respectful, and they just enjoyed being intimate with each other, regardless of position or role. That is a wholesome relationship. It always bothers me in BL when the top refuses to bottom and seems to treat sex like a way to dominate the uke.
Overall, this story was amazing and a great read. It gets a 5/5 from me.
The Veronica plot-line did have build-up, It’s just very subtle in a way that requires a re-read or two to catch. I felt like her obsessive behavior was sporadic the first time around, but honestly you can really see that she’s not all there from the second she tries to trap Conor with the pregnancy lie. How she behaves around Conor, having shown blatant interest in him before he was outed to his parents, etc.
This is definitely one of my favourite manhwas. The chemistry between Yoon and Wonwoo is great, it's one of those relationships that just gives off so much energy and tension to the point where it's so good when it's finally released. Loved their bickering. Plus, Wonwoo looking like a squirrel while eating is a whole mood. Overall it's such a fun and easy read. 5/5 from me.
So I've seen this manhwa around for a long time. I even tried reading it once, but dropped it almost immediately. Why? Because I thought it was just gonna be one of those BLs where the characters have sex in every chapter, where the whole plot revolves around sex and kinky sex at that. I don't care for that personally. I want a good story and interesting characters. Sex scenes are like spices in my opinion; too few can make the food bland (sometimes, some food is good without spices too), but too much can ruin the food. Same with sex scenes; moderation is key.
When I finally decided to read this manhwa, it surprised me a lot. It had an interesting, engaging story, some mystery, plot twists and beautiful art. Surprisingly it even had fewer sex scenes than most BLs I've read! Plus, the sex scenes were well made and served a purpose in the story. So just what I like, in other words. So this manhwa actually ended up being one of my favourites! 5/5 from me :)
So I put off reading this, because initially I didn't like the art style. But then I finally decided to read it and I was so busy clicking to read the next page that suddenly I realised I had almost finished the whole story. Usually I feel bored during some parts of a story and check how much is left, but not this time. I really liked Sehyun (uke). His personality, his design, his character development. This story felt very human and painfully real. Great conclusion as well. 5/5 from me.
Really funny story, it cracked me up many times. I also enjoyed the wholesome relationship between Andy and Jesse. I was expecting the truth to come out eventually, that Andy didn't actually like Jesse in the beginning, and that this revelation would cause problems. But the truth was never revealed, as far I could tell.
Chase was an interesting character. I liked his personality. He also wasn't afraid to stand up for what he wanted when he realised how Joel felt. He wasn't going to accept any less than what he wanted. The age gap between Joel and Chase was a bit off-putting however, but Chase was an adult after all, so I guess it's technically okay. My yaoi-damaged mind would have liked to see a proper kiss between them though lol Glad we got that with Jesse and Andy at least.
I would have liked to see more of Jesse's and Joel's relationship. Their issues felt a tad unresolved at the end, despite being better. It would have been great to see them hug (platonically). Overall I really liked this one. It stood out to me. It had great characters, a lot of humour and interesting plots. It gets a 5/5 from me.
Really interesting story. I had a hunch right at the start about Fukusuke being the real stalker. Very disturbing when he revealed his true colours. I'm also really relieved that they didn't end up together at the end, that would have been far too messed up. I think Shoukichi was too nice to him in the end, but at the same time, this is how psychopaths get their way; by manipulating normal people through the normal person's empathy. So in that sense, it was pretty realistic.
