CHAPTER 96 RAWS DAWG I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!!!!!! No wonder there was no pregnancy/mpreg tag in this manhwa, it's because Euihyun was gonna have a miscarriage!!!
Pleaseeee when can these two just be HAPPY whyyyy Taeju is at his absolute LIMIT he's about to give up on Euihyun this ain't right chief I wanna speak to the manager!!!!!!
This is... A challenge to read lol. I know it's a really famous manga but wow. It's just too all over the place.
There's misunderstanding EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER.
There's ALWAYS another guy or another girl standing in the way of their relationship.
The same unnecessary characters with the same theme/purpose in the story keep getting introduced.
And Taichu and Kouhei spend more time APART than together.
Like how are you gonna convince me you're madly in love with each other when you spend like an hour or so with each other every 5-7 business days??? Majority of volumes 1-4 they don't even really text each other. And 4 volumes in and they STILL haven't made it clear that they were dating. Like do you two not talk to each other or something???
I find them cute, I do, but it's so... idk. It's so hard to ship them.
It's realistic to not be with your partner 24/7. What's not realistic to me is to claim they're truly, madly, deeply in love with someone they can't even communicate with properly. It's like they barely know each other. I just notice it in almost all JP shounen ai/shoujo stories so it's kinda hard to ignore. Authors like to make them fall in love on a soul-tie level when they barely even talk/know each other. But yeah
Omg, you feel the exact same way I do!!! I was following this for YEARS (since chapter 4 was uploaded) and haven’t felt ANY progress between the two MCs since the first volume. None of their growth is done together, so it really feels like they’re growing apart almost. TДT I feel like the authors passion to build the world they live in surpassed her desire to build upon the MCs relationship lmao. I love slow burns as much as the next guy, but this was seriously too much. I can handle genuine arguments in romance better than I can handle constant misunderstandings. ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I stuck by this story from the time it started up until now, and I loved every moment of it
I have so many memories of all the emotions I felt reading this, it will always be a memorable story for me. It's not the best manhwa there is, but idk it's just so special to me. It really feels like I watched Minwook and Seungeon grow up through the years.
Kudos to the author for finishing this series, and for giving us a happy ending!!
I truly can never like semes like Tachibana. Sleeping with someone else just to "test it out" or "bury their feelings" is a personality trait, not a one-time decision.
I understand the era they were in, the homophobia was sky-high, but he keeps claiming he's always been in love with Asakura/keeps saying he's still in love with Asakura AND YET none of his actions show it. He says a few flowery words to Asakura but readily sleeps with other women. It's giving "I like you but not enough to fight for it." Even in the end it was Asakura who decided to fight for their love first.
I completely understand Tachibana disappearing because he thinks he doesn't deserve Asakura, but he's so finicky with every decision he makes it's infuriating.
If you enjoyed this story hats off to you, no need to defend it by replying to me. I'm not here for discourse, I just wanted an outlet for my thoughts on this.
The point is that the seme's words don't match his actions—was that so hard to understand?? The fifth chapter clearly showed that the seme had moved on from the uke, as he was ready to settle down with a woman who supported him during his struggles. Is that supposed to prove his love for the uke? Settling down with someone? Couldn't the uke have done the same if the seme had actually relied on him? The uke delayed his marriage, searched for him repeatedly, only to be hurt over and over again because of the seme's selfish life choices. And maybe your tiny, uncomprehending brain forgot that some people do practice celibacy.
You said "the fifth chapter clearly showed that the seme had moved on from the uke" which clearly isn't the case and is just not understanding the actual conflict of the story. In part it's a story of class differences. The uke comes from a far more privileged family with money while the seme is poor, in the semes eyes he can only see how little benefit there is for uke to be with him. The seme can't provide for the uke, he can only see himself as a burden for the uke who he thinks is better off as the heir of the trading company instead of wasting it on him. Seme says he's considering this other lady as a flimsy excuse, an attempt to the uke to let go and maybe even make himself let go of the uke (just look at the pained look in his eyes as he half heartedly claims he's gonna try returning her feelings). But that small moment after uke for the first time actually confesses his feelings (the thing he never did before) and they run out all dramatically, where she says “so… he's the one…” is hauntingly perfect. It's subtle but the clear implication is that she's always known his heart wasn't in it and that he was always in love with someone else. So the main conflict, the reason why seme is trying to let go of uke is his own inferiority complex, the feeling that he knows that he will be worse off in many ways being with him and not wanting to be a burden on the one he loves.
Of course this changes after uke actually confesses his feelings and he realizes their love is too important and the story ends with him not going through with trying to let him go, love conconcers all yada yada, but just look at the sort of bitter sweet somber ending. sure yes they ultimately chose their love and that the happiness from that is more important but they still had to live their relationship in secret. their love, regardless of how much in the end it is more important than everything else, is still so much in their world against their love.
So no he wasn't “ready to settle down with a woman”. You can claim what seme did is selfish and perhaps there is some selfishness of trying to shelter the one you love from yourself because of your insecurities but in his eyes it was impossible to not see him trying to love uke as the real selfish act.
Idk why but I just... Can never care about side couples in a story I like? This and Jinx are a perfect example. I truly could not care less, like I read a story for the main couple, I wanna know what happens to THEM next. Everytime a story swerves to focus on the second couple I just get so bored. The side couple in this has no chemistry at all too (same with side couple in Jinx they're so boring I'm sorry).
I think the last side couple that actually caught my interest were the MC's step dad x the black haired dude in K's Secret, and No Name x Minhwa in POTN (they barely had any scenes but the chemistry was chemistrying). No hate to ppl who enjoy this story's side couple though I'm just saying I can't seem to relate.










Chapter 6?? What is it with BL mangas and semes letting themselves be easily kissed by other people and the uke sees it but just brushes it off like it was nothing?? It's so WEIRD what is it about that that JP authors like so much? I don't get it
If it's the uke who gets kissed by someone else the seme will invoke the most dramatic ass scene ever (either demonizing the uke or unleashing hell upon the one who kissed uke) and we'll spend 2-3 chapters with them fighting about it. But if it's the seme it's okay?? Huh
I mean... I get what you're saying but he did react. It doesn't fully get brushed off here like with most. It's just that the situation gets clarified really quickly instead of letting the angst fester.
