unfortunately this doesn't have the same oomph that the author's other works have. the characterization is shallow and the romance isn't that compelling. even in hate mate or merry go round the romance wasn't really that strong by itself, but the story worked anyway, as the characters were better crafted and the themes and messaging were clear and well conveyed. here it feels like there isn't much to look foward to except for the romance, which i'm not a fan of since jiho still comes off as unlikable and unsympathetic. the art is nice as always, really expressive. i generally have my issues with 3d backgrounds, they never look that great. in hate mate they solved the background problem by just not drawing them unless it was necessary, and i feel like that solution works way better than introducing 3d backgrounds that bog down the quality.
also i just noticed how jiho looks a lot more feminine in recent chapters then he did at the start lmao
i just really don't understand the vitriol in these comments and what exactly is causing y'all to drop this. the sohan dad arc clearly has been hinted at since forever and it comes as no surprise, considering that the main theme of the story is family, after all. also sohan is behaving in an understandable way considering he was neglegted as a child, abandoned by his parents and now he has found hid dad again. he's clinging to his father no matter how shitty he is, not because he's fond of him, but because he's afraid of being alone once again. all of this seems fairly reasonable to me and i can't understand why the comments don't seem to be able to emphasize.







i wish they went harder with the dom/sub dynamics. sihyun is supposed to be submissive and a masochist, but there's barely anything going on of that sort except for the choking in one scene. even joohwan i don't think can be considered dominant.
They’re each others firsts, give them time lol
I agree with this, but I also consider what Cookies said to be correct. I kinda find it funny that they tryna be a dynamic for one another but they have zero experience whatsoever and no clue as to where theyre going with this but neither of them are getting out of the car. Like gurl talk to each other
i can understand that, but I've taken a look at the novel a while ago and as far as i can remember there's no progression in terms of kinkiness, they just stay kind of vanilla throughout the story, which isn't ideal if it's being advertised as a dom/sub thing
