I don’t remember the novel being this bland and boring justice for the novel!!!!
I liked the novel more, even though the art is so immaculate but honestly, their first kiss, as TOXIC as it might be, is so sensual and so real lol. I still go back and read it. In the novel, it’s even more prolonged but I just LOVE a good kiss scene not a peck not a 3 panel kiss but a whole goddamn chapter of just kissing…Garon’s longing and desire were so delicious to see. I love their first kiss scene and subsequently all other kiss scenes too. I liked the novel quite a lot. And yes it’s toxic, but it’s fun. You know what to expect so I never expected anything else than what happens. The story is predictable but I love it.
Season 1 and 2 feel like completely different stories and characters. I honestly feel the author doesn’t know how to take the story ahead and is relying solely on cliches and sex scenes to drive the plot forward or maybe I’m wrong but season 1 was so unique and funny and all of this isn’t. His trauma has been forgotten, the plot is all over the place they made up too soon and in a weird manner and now this…I think the chasing arc should’ve been better, and then it would’ve been better if we got to know fluffy heads background a bit and our MC to be more…idk, him. This new rival is also only there to induce jealousy for fluffy head, wasted potential. Idk.
This story...surprisingly went a steep downhill for me. Particularly because of how goddamn self-righteous Haejun is...something about it is pissing me off. Like am I the only one who remembers Mr. Ji'S backstory and why he ended up that way...I can feel the author just brushing over it and painting him as the villain completely. It's not that black and white.
Also can he stop being judgemental for 1 second and try to understand him if he's your partner? He doesn't understand Mr.ji, he doesn't accept him, he just wants him to be like him. Maybe I just hate controlling behaviour even if it's to "turn" someone "good". Idk. I feel the author got bored halfway through the story and now they want to rely on clichés to end it.
Also it seems rushed too...I don't like how controlling Haejun is (especially when he was unsure of his own feelings for the longest time)
I just feel like he doesn't GET Mr. Ji at all. Their chemistry hasn't improved or developed. The blonde and the boat driver have better chemistry.
Mr.Ji is still bending over backwards to sustain the relationship...idk something isn't hitting.
I feel like this story had a lot of potential but it couldn't 3xecute it properly because it was supposed to exist in the grey but it's hell bent on making it black and white. Idk. Idk.
I'm disappointed because I really thought this was a unique one at the start, I couldn't guess what was gonna happen but now it's super cliche. Idk.
HAHAHAHAHA I don't remember him crying from the novel. I don't like the manhwa honestly, it's a bit too goofy for me but the novel was good. I liked the writing more there...the manhwa is hella goofy hahaaha
This story is getting cliché-er by b the chapter... i'm disappointed in season 2 so far （/TДT)/
The minute j saw the back muscles i was like THAT'S A GUY or a fucking jacked woman. Hey, our gangster fell in love...but now you have a woman(?)'s scent on you and that fucking bite mark... you're fucked. You're fuuuuuucked.
No why the FUCK is it so romantic in here and so SCARY like what the fuck hahhahaa
When tera said "hey, you" I fucking melted and "That's so you" like are you guys dating??? Come on. The difference between how he treats the boy and Joris is so fucking funny lmao.
Ah yeah this angst cocaine pls gimme more (sad it's sort of ending since he found him) but jealousy arc is starting let's GOOO
Haejun is getting on my nerves fr...like you want him back but you don't know why. He didn't even reflect 5 seconds on what the old baba said like let him pass on so you don't keep him in the world while judging and treating him like he's an unredeemable criminal. Let him repent then. My heart hurts for Ji so much...
THIS IS IT. THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE. MY FAVOURITE PART OF BLs: GAY YEARNING AND ANGST!!! ZEO YOU LOOK SO HANDSOME WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY SHOWING YOUR EMOTIONS.
AUTHOR WHEN YOU COME BACK YOU BETTER HAVE YOUR SEASON 1 (- minus that one scene) HAT BACK ON. ENOUGH OF THIS!!! PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS STORY EXPERIENCE WITH BULLSHIT TROPES
And finally his boyfriend will track him down because of an American only to come here and see some American calling his boyfriend honey without context. Zeo is gonna lose his mind and I can't wait for it.
I was like WHAT THE FUCK HAEJUN SHUT THE HELL UP AND MAN UP AND STOP BEING SO DAMN JUDGMENTAL FUCK BUT THEN WHAaaaaTTTT WHAT THE FUUUUC
The art in this has me GAGGED like bl artists have given up their soul to have this art skill lmao XD all in all, it sort of reads as a severe fantasy the author had irl (especially as the crush they had in school had been having wet dreams about them since then and dated other people to not date you - these are the kinds of hopes and fantasies we all have for our crushes. This story (plot wise) seems like creating a reality that could never be with two other fictional characters and thats beautiful. That's what art is for.
But the smut has me gagged. GAGGED.
I'm so happy it was the secretary and jeonsu at the door if it was his father i would've fucking tossed by phone out tge windowww
No way!! My heartue!!! Need their love to bloom now. Need that fucking pervy senator to bite the dust and his father too. GO TO JAIL PLEASE. Jeonsu is not safe as long as that fucker is alive.
Hah. Well. I like our cutie a lot but I wish the author didn't do what shinwoo did earlier. It soured his character for me ngl. I WISH this confession didn't succeed that bullshit rapey kinda scene. Fuck.
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE MADE POSSIBLE. TOM CRUISE COULD NEVER. NOW THE FINAL BOSS, HIS POS DAD NEEDS TO BITE THE DUST.
I have so much to say but I'm too lazy to type. "Grit your teeth" bruh I was sobbing can't even imagine letting someone you love see you in that state and see someone you love and respect being disrespected like that. Old bitch, that's your shitty karma that has your daughter and grandson stuck with an abuser while to abuse your authority like this. Asshole.
I'm so glad seongha is not alone. Everyone needs someone and he has such a cool gang. Still don't know what redheads role in this whole scene was. Why is even relevant anymore smh.
Enough heartbreak now I need a happy ending. Confession kisses hugs making love all night and day long and getting married. Please do it. Now. The dad also needs to be on the highway to hell.
