great art, original plot, excellent characters and character relations
bird dude and youli's older bro has such a nice friendship tbh.
art style's kinda rough but at least mc's didnt go through the twinkification (ehemm Regas).
Plot seems so be on a good route, and mc's got an interesting personality. cant wait for more! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
look, the twinkification in regas is... it's just... it's for comedy *winces*
here I can't tell if he shrunk or not. Like, he's lanky and gangly and he got no stamina to speak of and is a walking statement of "one-track-mind" (though I hold high hopes for someone who crawls out of bed from a coma and subsequently "walks it off" using his IV-stand as a crutch)
and I cannot begin to express in words how much I simply love that this character is well-rounded with goals and convictions that got absolutely nothing to do with. The formerly bereft widower Kim-whats-his-name.
like, his stocks. (relatable)
It's a rollercoaster, but definitely worth it. Sorta dark, but I'd recommend it.
Read this a few years ago but with each reread i feel the same as ever. Although the first time was kinda confusing, I feel like I could understand Jaehan more and more.
The characters are really complex and I believe them to be well-written, each emotion having a valid reason. There's little to no interference with their relationship, so it's just characters trying to understand themselves and each other. Jaehan's flip was a scene that broke my heart, imagine hurting someone that you have loved the whole time without realizing. Although some communication would have been nice, it's also understandable why they couldn't.
Tension is some parts was insane, and other more mundane parts were heart-warming (during second time rereading). I also adore how they don't do it for more than 2 chapters at a time, sometimes the scenes don't even last a full chapter.
In short, if you just want a quick read without too much thinking, yup go for it.
yeaaa like most people here, i rlly don’t see where and when the love started to bloom. I can definitely see the princess fall in love but then Ian??? i knew the princess would just be used as someone to pair Ian with as she’s practically the only “available” woman here. Romance was not needed, in my opinion. （￣へ￣）
On the story telling, I’d say that the pacing was a bit fast and there were some parts that could have been fleshed out more. There wasn’t that tension and suspense I was looking for. Some characters could have been developed more, so I didn’t really feel attached to these people.
I absolutely loved the first 20 chapters. Explaining how the Rwanda grew up wrong, the experiments, that midwinter guy. Everything was perfect. And then things went wrong. Them getting aged up 5 years was a good choice, but what the hell happened to Rwanda??? Killer of killers?? The "romance" that happened between him and Kathy was not fleshed out enough for him to take such extreme actions. All in all, I adored the mother and i'll just ignore the last 5 chapters(●￣(ｴ)￣●).
and the experiment bout the childrens plot dissapear
not too sure how toxic this is... depending on the seme's future actions for the guy in the coma (uke showing interest) , i'll stay or drop
i still remeber when it was still updating… the hiatuses were a pain to get through but it was worth it(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Absolutely adore the non-linear and subtle storytelling; it makes it so much more interesting and makes readers piece things together.
The vibe the story gives me is more of a slow but well paced type, which is a rare find. I would say that it doesn’t have a lot of excitement until the last few chapters, but I may be wrong.
never left my top 5 ever since i read it the first time!
finished the kdrama and found out it was based on a bl lol. I actaully prefer the kdrama changing the genre to more of a "bromance" kinda thing bc the almost 30 year age gap is...just not it.
also after reading 3 chps of the webtoon, i rlly dont like how a gangster suddenly became a "twink" next to ml
where do you watch the drama? Can you tell me please??
yeah ofc, heres the link

the beginning was soo good like it gave slow midday vibes, even with the war going on. the dynamics were also pretty mainstream but still could have gone interestingly.
heide is just there bro like he's adding nothing much to the story or the romance and what the king said ab love and admiration was 100% true.
and then the recent chapters. wth happened to the cold and willful man i stayed for?? having sex with a mentally 4 year old child? ayo brother ewww....(⊙…⊙ )
