I HAVE A CONFESSION, I LOVE BEEFY BOTTOMS!!
this story was so yummy to read, and its so short that i can reread it like 10 times and love it everytime :P
and even thought the title is, unconventional, IT'S SO GOOD. it might technically be a smut BUT THE STORY WAS GOOD (and the sex). lowkey my affection for the story is amplified by my affinity towards Kyu, THAT'S MY DREAM MAN RIGHT THERE.
bro im gonna cry over this story AGAIN
I FOLLOWED THIS MANHWA SINCE DAY ONE AND HAVE LOWKEY REREAD THIS LIKE 3 TIMES ALREADY!! these two goofballs are actually perfect for eachother. looking back on it, this story reminds me a lot of "a thousand cranes," which i also love. its so crazy to think you can sympathize with a killer of all peopl, however, taeman (inyul) is so genuine with dahyeok (minhyeok) that you cant help but root for him. minhyeok is also perfect for inyul. even though he is an actor his romantic gestures toward inyul we so authentic. when inyul finally accepts that he has feeling for minhyeok warms my heart. then directly seeing minhyeok fall for inyul and getting jealous actually made me kick my feet like a 10 y/o.
the only thing i can say is that, the ending seemed a tad bit rushed, however it was a nice clean ending so i cant be mad. i JUST WISH we got a side story where we got to see the boss and seolho, and also more of minhyeok and inyul cause yeah!!
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS, no questions.
A thousand cane's is a phenomenal piece of work!!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
CRAIG AND DEAN MY BELOVED
Heck I'm gonna go re-read that now (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
lowkey this felt like a chore trying to finish...
probably seemed better and preformed better when it was released however its just lacking in every way. dadwon is insufferable, hyunsoo is one dimensional, and the side characters are meh. i liked gwangil and kang for the most part however they had weird pacing issuing, along with the rest of the story. i cant really like pick out any plot points cause i feel like i read an incoherent biography of homophobe turned homo... although not the worst, i have no intention of reading this again
AHHHHH
lowkey i remeber juhyeok being a lot more relatable the first read but he pisses me off a lot the second time around. his lack to empathize for over half of the manhwa was just painful to read. there were memorable moments though.
the "what if" love story of gido and juhyeok felt so real to me. not only did they both have feeling for eachother but they both did not have the courage to confess. then they fell out of romantic love, but their platonic love grew.
the side story with hyeonjae, and heetae (sambong) was painful. however, i'd like to think everything went well for them. truthfully, i think when hyeonjae said "not in this life," it was giving me like a mania vibe... like how heetae changed his name to reflect a "new life." i dont think they will ever be out of eachother's life, especially with the baby, but i also dont think they'll ever fall out of love.
i wish we got to see more of the story, a hidden gem compared to most of the omegaverses projectile vomited into the internet. i dont think the main focus is omegaverse aspect, the concept of falling in love with someone despite everything, everyone telling you its wrong.
or maybe im just rambling :P
i remember liking this story... and i really dont understand why i liked it.
hyunsung quite literally says it himself, they just dont fit together. hyuk (the stalker) has no redeem qualities AT ALL. he's a bum that has a weird obsession with hyunsung that is never really explained. the way they end up "together" is just terrible as well. hyuk literally continously raped hyunsung and then hyunsung cracks because hyuk cried?! nah it actually made no sense.
I hated it but then when it was nearing the ending chapters I'm not sure why I started liking it...maybe because he made the stalker the desperate one? I don't know :/ But I'd never read this manga again that's for sure
this felt so realistic, like i was just looking into average people lives.
their experiences, tumultuous relationships, and struggles with self identity are something that everyone experience. hakdo's infatuation with doochi is definitely a queer classic. an empathetic straight man is like kryptonite to a gay man. that bastard hyunwoo (his name was so forgettable btw) OHH HE PMO. using sangho to validate his status is an absolute dick move, keep all that trauma to yourself. sangho could've easily whipped his ass if he wanted to but he was too soft on him, stand up for urself king.
anyways i need a man like sangho, THAT MAN IS HOT.
still dont get why the author made it all weird with incest... it was good w/o it.
then they go ahead and say some shit like "one more stigma wont hurt" BEING GAY AND INCESTUOUS ARE NOT THE SAME BRO, NOT COMPARABLE.
main story is actually so yummy omg.
Karlyle is what i aspire to be. A beefy bottom with a handsome lover, alas im living in the real world. as for the story, his past was so traumatic that his idea of love and relationships has been corrupted because of his goddamn grandfather. like the whole time he LOVES ash like from the first interaction they had in new york, but the doctrine his grandfather instilled in him makes him view their love as forbidden. one of the lines that i loved was
“I am falling for someone for the first time in my life. And the object of my affection… is named Ash…”
LIKE?! karlyle is such a romantic, a hopeless romantic ever more so.
ash, ash jones. i will say the man is hot, karlyle was not settling for an average man off the streets. however, compared to karlyle he was kind of insufferable at times. this might be because the manhwa has a focused perspective on karlyle so i sympathize with him more. however, he also just pissing me off sometimes. nothing too serious, nothing too notable. maybe its because he's so pretty and i forgive him with his pretty privilege and it pisses me off.
love the main story, these new side stories are going to be the bane of my existence tho
