Man seeing all the hate comments is wild to me. I agree with some criticisms of it not delving deeper into the characters enough and the conflict of the curse being resolved too quickly.
But I can’t understand the ones about it not being romantic. Romance takes many different forms and I find Taeho being pretty relatable in terms of like what it feels like to be on the ace spectrum (minus the total obliviousness of being kissed and brushing it off as a prank).
In regards to his feels to Yeon I did enjoy it.
Really fun and cute story with nice main characters. I’m surprised Jaemin is so hated, like I kinda get it cause of the whole bad communication issue is totally on him. But it’s no an unexplainable character trait given his past, being effected like that in high school can really impact people later in life.
Plus it did get resolved, and he did take accountability for the things he said and did even if he didn’t mean them.
It could be that I’m just desensitized cause I’m used to characters in BL/Yaoi being like actually horrid, toxic waste filled people and still getting together in the end. But I didnt think Jaemin was that bad, he had the appropriate level of issues for drama for me.
Overall though the story was just really cute. Disappointed we didn’t get side couples with Minwoo’s older sister with his friend and the other werewolf with Jaemin’s friend.
I honestly still like the group members even given knowing what went down. And with them being in the way of the main ship.
I don’t think they hated OG Sihyeon, especially in Chan’s case where he’d sleep on the couch cause OG Sihyeon couldn’t handle anyone being in the room while he slept. And time line wise Chan could’ve been around 18 when everything was happening. They’re all pretty young and in the idol industry as well.
Yeah they didn’t handle the situation as they should have or help OG Sihyeon like they should have. My interpretation was that they gave him distance cause they thought that’s what he wanted so that’s what they should do. So of course they’re happy to get a second chance when they’re under the idea OG Sihyeon has amnesia so they can correct the mistakes they made and can be close to him without him being uncomfortable or pushing them away.
Yeah they’re being overbearing and need to reel in it, but I’m just seeing it as a they’re over correcting on a past mistake. And of course they’re not gonna trust Daejun even when current Sihyeon says it’s all good. They don’t to make the same mistake again. And yeah from their pov Daejun would be suspicious as readers we get the knowledge that it isn’t.
Basically, you can’t change the past or the mistakes you made, you can only do better in the future. That’s how I personally feel about the group.
Daejun still end game though, cause plain and simple he’s not Sihyeon and everyone except Daejun don’t know that. And I also realize not how long I rambled for. So I’ll stop here, love the story being told.
My exact thoughts can't really blame them to the full cause i don't think og Sihyeon ever tried to open up since he was already going through so much. So them being overprotective after almost losing him is valid, but Daejun is like the perfect ml frfr
Same here! And truth about Daejun. If the blame goes to anyone it should be the ex that did all those awful things to him in the first place. And Isu too to some extent since he saw it happening as a bystander, he did ask OG Sihyeon if he wanted out of there but he still didn’t do anything. Not sure if OG Sihyeon answered him though. But like still
I think Cheong-hyeon does find Han-yeong objectively good looking given his surprise at learning he’s never dated anyone and his comment about how he “thought that Han-yeong would have been quite popular” so there’s that little bit of potential attractive purely based on appearance.
I’m curious for where this goes cause even if they both do end up falling for each other if Han-yeong finds out he was essentially being treated like a science experiment the whole time he’s sure to be extremely insulted. Which he would be right to feel cause that’s just not a great way to treat another person.
I was thinking the same.. n the bottom is actually goodlooking
Really enjoying this so far, the leads have a fun dynamic but this is a dynamic I tend to enjoy.
Anyone got an recs for stories where the main couple have a similar vibe?
They’re both so cute, Leo makes me cry (in a good way) I love the development of the characters and stories so much. I really want more extra chapters
I only have a worry about Leo’s current thinking being that he’s nothing without JJ cause that is a really unhealthy way to think but they’re going to couples therapy so hopefully it’s addressed.
I’m gonna stay with this just in hopes of 1. Felix and Uriel won’t actually end up together (limited I know) and 2. I wanna know what’s up with Brandon, honestly the potential side story/couple has more of my attention it usually does
Sugishita is so cute man. All the characters are but I love that we’re getting more with him. I think it’s sweet and interesting that he’s close with the upperclassman probably backstory on that but it’s cute how they all act like meddling older siblings towards him.
Okay, this chapter actually gave me an idea that is completely insane but it’s fun to speculate and think about. Again all speculation and I don’t actually think it’s true but I wanted to express the thoughts.
So, Minamoto called MC a maniac for thinking the world is BL. And obviously it’d be easy to say he’s just not as self aware as MC is. However, what if Minamoto is right? Think about, we mostly follow MC’s pov and from said view we are witness to all these BL troupes and instances. But, what if our MC is an unreliable narrator.
He discovered some time during school (either middle or high school I can’t remember) that this is a BL world and he noticed this because of multiple things like the guys being really attractive and all the girls faces are blurry.
That’s what he says, but what if and big if, the reason he sees things this way is because he isn’t attracted to girls and is attracted to guys. And his way of coming to this realization is complete denial and convincing himself it’s a BL world and that’s why he sees things this way.
I would also like to suggest that while yes he has met guys that were attracted to him there has been an instance where a girl also found him attractive. So if we’re gonna say that the world is throwing guys at him to be paired with then the world was also trying to pair him with a girl and it’s own fault it didn’t happen.
Now again, this is complete wild speculation and I don’t think it’s true since this is a comedy manga I don’t think anything like that is what’s happening. I just enjoying theorizing wild shit, it’s just fun for me.
I enjoy this idea quite a lot!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember a chapter where it was shown MC was so preoccupied thinking about how to avoid BL flags that he completely ignored girls who were interested in him? So I think it at least holds some water.
My other idea is that maybe he's not entirely wrong about it being a BL world, but it might just be HIS world that's filled with BL to that degree. We've seen supernatural things happen, like the mindreader, so maybe the MC just has the power of BL and his presence trigger flags to happen lmao
tbh i had the exactly same theory for a pretty
long time while reading this manga so i don't think your speculation is completely "wild" lol
(=・ω・=)
To address your first point I recall that as well, it was when he got chocolates I believe.
And as for your second point yeah that makes a lot of sense, because it is a very supernatural BL troupe filled world.
Ah yeah, at the time it sounded more wild to me but thinking on it now it’s not that insane of an idea. I think I got caught up on it being a comedy manga so the author wouldn’t make a twist like that.
He claims he’s ugly so in reality he shouldn’t have anything to really worry about plus he’s a background Mob character.
Except the character profile type for Ayato his younger brother is “background type” so nothing is stopping him from also filling the troupe. Additionally the “ugly (or just called ugly)” character in BL manga is also a character troupe. Especially the small dots for eyes instead of detailed ones.
I know this because I’ve read them. He needs to step up his game in the diversity of troupes in his BL collection.
Poor guy has no clue he’s prime main character material. Epically with the whole being completely against a relationship and being “straight” as that is also another troupe.
If he’s this worried he really has to be more proactive and just ask a girl out. Just really go for it, no matter what he does there is a risk of being caught in a troupe but he’ll get no where if he doesn’t take one.
Plus at least currently him saying how he likes women with big chests but never actively looking to date one, not having any magazines of women in his collection (that I can recall), and being foiled by his own fears of possibly getting a date with a girl through the chocolate. Just kinda gives vibes of him being in denial to what he’s actually attracted to in the name of continuing his family’s bloodline in lieu of his brother.
But that’s just my interpretation, I do also understand from a writing stand point he can’t get in any relationship until the manga concludes (if he ever does) cause that would just end the point of the manga in the first place. I do love this story, it’s really fun to follow. And when it one day does reach its inevitable conclusion I’m interested to see how it ends.
Damn the only time I seen the word lieu being used was in exam paper
And I totally agree with you
I think MC is just a person who hasn't find his love, you can that him likes girl with big boobs is just like how straight men think it is. More like he just get that stereotype so that he could claim that he is a straight guy.
And maybe for him being Single is the best
But i think if i had to choose who the best for our mc, i think mind reading guy, even they didn't end up together, i hope they become friends.
This take is valid, but at the same time mc has never expressed attraction towards men either. He gives off ace/aro vibes
Yeah that’s pretty true as well, it’s something I can see also. I wouldn’t be against it either, I’d always like more ace/aro characters in media. I’m ace myself so yeah I’d enjoy it if he turned out to be so.
Though to the point for simply theorizing, he has lightly (keyword lightly) blushed when reading the BL books he’s gathered, when Hanato confessed to him, and regularly calls guys handsome and or cute.
But that’s entirely subjective, obviously you can call someone attractive but not be attracted to them. That’s my entire life. I’m more so speaking in regard to what the author put in with possible intention rather than what’s comparable to real life experience.
As for going more into the idea of him being ace/aro I definitely could see him somewhere on the spectrum. All he ever talks about is how he wants to avoid flags and troupes. So maybe he’s demi, but because of how the world works of instant love essentially he wouldn’t want to experience love that way.
For sure, the several “up to interpretation” moments on mc’s sexuality allow for most endings in terms of who he ends up with to feel natural, can’t wait to see what the author goes with (≧∀≦)
