former office rivals accidentally stumble into each other one night, and then decide to keep stumbling. their relationship is so… intimate yet distant, wordless yet tender. they end up orbiting each other like it’s a foregone conclusion. a story about translation and transmutation, both in the thematic sense and the literal sense. con: since this is old man yaoi, i wish they looked like actual older men LOL. fantastic nonetheless! 9/10

completed! psychological, slice of life

a deep dive into the circumstances of why two kids decide to cohabitate in a haunted dorm. it’s a slapstick ensemble comedy, but it’s also a heavy exploration on dysfunctional families. some people are content with dissecting frogs, but i want to dissect eunyung and haejoon at the lab — and the series just hands you the scalpel. such a well-paced manhwa!! i laughed, i crode, i peed my pants a little. 10/10

many stories employ the “boss falls in love with secretary” trope, but this particular manhwa takes it to its farthest logical conclusion - how can you possibly pursue someone you have power over? i love iseop so bad — neurotic, obsessive, full of baggage, and kinda pathetic. all while being a golden executive director in his family’s business… all while struggling with his inferiority complex towards his stunningly efficient secretary. so good, so funny!! 10/10
