Why did I read this just to end up uninterested in everyone. No one did any logical thinking, the entire friend group is sexually immature. Tak is creepy for continuously kissing sanho and nutting on his FUCKING FACE while he slept. I would have beat the bricks off my best friend...Sanho can't hold single adult conversation and just shouts. Yi Hyeok is the best one of the four, he's just a bit slow to catch on. In Seo is pushy and absolutely confusing...I get it, your feelings were crushed at 6 and you thought you push his mom away but as young adults the fact he never even tried to be honest until the end pisses me off. Claiming ownership of Hyeok is gross and also board line obsessive...I can't believe he could sleep with him, kiss him, love on him, and still be like no we can't date cause I hurt your mom's feelings 20 years ago...what??? The parents can kick rocks too...PPD and closeted or not...F-you lady for not trying to speak to your son, letting him be the first to make contact...ugh Like grow up woman. Your ex husband is a deadbeat too...
Also so we gonna ignore the fact the boss also almost committed murder to get closer to Hyeok?? The fucking dude SA the boy and that's it? No beat down or curse out? I really hoped I could like this one too...of well
Just finished my re-read of this an honestly I feel like the "toxic" part of their situationship isn't even that bad. Makes me think a lot of you either are still very young or don't date. Because yes Ji Won was a prick but he was honest from the start that he was into having a relationship. Dong Gyun is a young man with his own feelings of course but he should have never started up this as a virgin. That's literally a blueprint for disaster, Ji Won was wrong for using him for his needs and never asking him what he wants. Both wanted this "relationship" but neither were honestly even fit for it too. I still enjoyed it nonetheless! Jinx is well Jinx... Jaekyung will always be worst because I can't forgive him freely exposing Dan to that pretty actor... it's gross and honestly a super violation of privacy and consent for me. Consent that word is why Ji Won and Dong Gyun work better because at the end of the day...consent was always there. Dan's consent is flimsy at best and sadly only given because of guilt and debt.
Anyway Chan Woo and Myung Dae are still my favorite! Lol I love assertive power bottoms! Lol
My heart! Oh they have my and I don't want it back. I can't believe how damn cute Yechan is and how much I was just like Sun Yool and would give him the world. This was such a sweet and easy to digest story after all the insanity I have read lately. The best I can describe my love for Chan x Yool is like having lemonade on the hottest day in summer. It sweet and citrus and oh so refreshing!
Chinatsu and Kasumi are so breath taking to look at. I absolutely love the art themed here for both of them. I wish the story was longer so I could bask in it more. Chinatsu took my breath away and I've seen very good looking manga men, but for what ever reason, he has the most romantic look to him. I loved his art style, hair, expressions, and clothing choice. Kasumi was beautiful, sweet with the kindest eyes, his words were the most captivating trait for him.
Can you tell how in love I am with them? Lol
Definitely one of my favorite shounen-ai in a long time (▰˘◡˘▰)
At first I wasn't really into the relationship between Hee Soo and Taekyung. It felt unwarranted for a while because I truly didn't understand Hee Soo as a person yet. But once I reread chapters and realized I liked the fact we met adolescent him, older teen, young adult, and now adult him in season 2. We got to see the real life digression of his psyche. I loved the ending monologue that a child left with no one is a longing one. People over look how much neglect and abandonment can be a on child. Hee Soo lost his mother in a traumatic event that would have took his life as well while he was only roughly 4 to 6 years old. Then he's left in the useless hands of verbal and mentally neglecting people that used him for a cash grab. Then he clings to the first adult that ever actually "cared" about him.
Not realizing Taekyung himself was just trying to wash away his guilt and sins of consciously knowing his mother was to blame the entire time. Which is a twist I love because it makes even more sense why he was invested in this case. He wanted something/anything to prove his mother wasn't the culprit, but instead he got the answer he didn't want. His mother is an unapologetic murderer and he chose to avoid that door and decided to shut Hee Soo's instead. Which in my eyes makes him a coward (an understanding one cause I get it...it's his mother or this boy, most people will always pick their family) but that doesn't change the fact he finally broke Hee Soo.
Yes Hee Soo is damaged and needs mental help, but it's the first time I see past the "fake" suicide attempts as just a desperate child wanting to be loved. But Mr. Cha but way more then he could chew and just tried to spit out Hee Soo which is sad. He should have never allowed himself to be caught up with this child if he didn't know how to handle him.
As for Hee Soo it's a shame how damaged and lost he is. I'm not here to be 100% understanding because trauma should never acquaint to violence and assault, but I can't say I didn't see this coming. The moment he stabbed Taekyung I believe he not only killed a version of Mr. Cha loved but he killed that last hope he had for himself to be human. His starvation for love was pushed too far this time that sadly I don't see him coming back from this. Like Mr. Cha's mother said "can one truly be saved from abyss just cause of love". Hee Soo doesn't know love, his love is suffocating and lonely while Mr. Cha's is Guild ridden and scared.
This next season gonna be real toxic probably so I better prepare myself. ┗( T﹏T )┛
I knew he wasn't gonna remember squat about last night and even if he is lying the save face, it's the fact he blatantly just disrespected Dan's simple effort to being caring towards him by not only once again talking about his financial status but to just chuck the key ring like that really just shows how childish Jaekyung is. It's a sweet (pointless) gesture.
I know he isn't the worst of the worst ML I've read, but he absolutely pisses me off the most because I hate immature men that are over 20...he know how to speak you can easily use big boy words.
It isn't hard to be a bit cold without just breaking someone's spirit or heart. I gonna assume this attitude comes from past "trauma" but the lack of empathy he has for Dan is disheartening. It's such a chore to watch Dan be in love with him (even though I find his found affection for Jae stupid and too soon to be really love) at least he's just trying to be kind... that's it--Dan is just being kind and Jae is practically spewing venom at the mouth lol like relax dude. I get it...you didn't have hugs growing up lol
Sadly not only did Dan get to actually consent this time but technically Jaekyung was too intoxicated to be consenting himself. That man gonna wake up not remembering squat because if ONE damn drink got him like that... he's a lightweight from hell
Plus I'm just not feeling the spark between these two...like why does Dan actually like Jae? Just because he was nice to his grandma? Cause nothing else he's done was for Dan just cause he felt like it, there was always a catch or clause.
Any enjoy your rare good dick down Dan lol

My god bro carrying around a damn elephant trunk lmao
Jesus...Ji-tae got poor Mi-eum's dick looking like extra shrimp size lol.
Between Ji-tae and Jaekyung from Jinx...they finna need to get social security numbers for the mini humans in their pants lol
Man listen the fact Jin can speak after that monstrous throat session is insane. Dude should sound like his voice box is grated sandpaper. (⊙…⊙ ) he a real pro lol I usually hate "force" anything in manhwa/mangas but the fact Jin allowed Matthew to have full control because it was best to let him just let the drugs run it's course makes me give him respect more than ever.
All I can say is Kim Dan you are a 30 year old man! 30! Jesus the author is writing him like he is just getting his feet wet in adulting. Talking bout Jaekyung has it worse than him?!
This the first time I agreed with Jaekyung...Dan is so "high" right now he don't even realize what he just said (⊙…⊙ ) 'Love'??? HA!
Also not sure why Jaekyung hasn't at least tried to understand that Dan is drugged. Not saying he can't get his "cake" but like dude...you know for a fact this ain't Dan at all I guess that would mean having empathy so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Let's poison the damn man now! Lol man I didn't even mean to laugh Dan collapsing but like it's hilarious how much they (author) will do to make Dan a true apologist for every small thing Jae does but also just torture Dan for just wanting to drink a smoothie. Yes I get Jae is starving to death technically so I'm not hating him for being snappy but he's mean to Dan for everything he does. The man says he feels sorry for him Jaekyung's response "Get the f**k out), Dan just eats some food and laughs (pours soda all over him), he f**king breathes and Jae is ready to knock him out lmao.
Jesus Christ, it's almost impossible for me to have sympathy for Dan when he can't even just tell Jae to go F**k himself for treating him like hot garbage.
Eating my man Seo-An's cake like nothing! Woo-Won proving that he's more then pretty face and soft personality. My man dangerous in the bedroom lol he got no qualms doing what he must to make Seo-An happy, I'm so here for it ヾ(☆▽☆)
Again, it's not hard to just write both Main characters with actual human dialogue and emotions. Jaekyung can be frustrated by his developing feelings and also his medical information being leaked. That's okay, but the idea he can't just use words and just say he doesn't need any comfort (just be standoffish and cold) can get his point across without it being too toxic to handle.
My dude literally shoved his 12 in d**k in Dan without and ounce of prep work...like Dan should have been in tears and shouting in pain. Like y'all authors gotta stop writing anal sex like it's just sticking you tongue into someone's mouth. Foreplay and Prep saves lives and buttholes.
As for Dan...why is he making excuses for Jaekyung for no reason, half the crap he mentioned was barely the bare minimum (maybe outside of paying for gmom's bills). Dan saying Jae has it worse as his butt is being shredded with warning has to be the most bizarre thing I read.
I dropped it after like 40+ chapters. I never liked Lou because it's literally painted that he only thought of Ray and Ray alone. Like Kile was a damn stepping stool and he even slept with him knowing he pictured his brother (Ew!!!). I wish this story pushed the sibling saving sibling more not using poor Kile and making him feel bad about something he didn't even understand. Also Lou literally disregarded Ray and put his brother in danger like if that was me I would never speak to him again. He knew how Kile meant to Ray and he said with his whole chest he do it again. F-off dude!
"I'm far from satisfied...I thought you said it was going to be a long night".
I can tell you right here was the turning point for me to start swooning over Matthew. That line had my ass in a daze, those green eyes! Boy!!! Lol
I am having a good time reading Under the Greenlight and enjoy the relationship being both main leads. It's not toxic (well for their relationship part at least) lol.
Also I have been reading a lot more power bottom manhwas/mangas and I am hear for it! I enjoy menxmen story lines because honestly as much as I enjoy original yaoi's most are very heteronormative and it's like aren't these two men sleeping together? Why is it always one way for the relationship to look? I'm not saying fem passing or fem styled men aren't "men" but when their always the bottom and also have "girl" style traits. Super emotional, clingy, shy, naive, etc...(which as a woman myself, I wish authors would stop that...not all women have these traits..maybe one or two but never all of these in one person all the damn time).
Anyway! I truly am enjoying the ride!ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
These two are damn mood! I wish I identify as Seo-An--the man the perfect balance of sexy and assertive without it crossing into toxic or controlling. I absolutely love his openness about sex with Woo-Won and lays it all on the table.
But as a person I absolutely identify with Woo-Won we even share the same MIBT traits. It's so hard to put yourself out there and trust in others when the world can barely slow down and give you a damn break. I feels like your sinking everytime you try to get close to the surface. I really hope this continues to be the same continuation of communication between them even with the obvious hiccups and issues arising in the future.ヾ(☆▽☆)
This story is not sad, I genuinely have no idea how anyone could think the author would be weird enough to destroy her own story with such a vague or bitter ending when again and again she "attempted" to kill both Joo and Doo...she had the perfect opportunity to do it when Pilwon had the gun or when they jumped over the ledge. That would be bad writing to me because after everything she put them through and for them to die after barely living freely would be pointless and destroy her entire arc for them. I truly know in my mind and heart she wrote that moment as a symbol of Dooshik saving Jooha from drowning like Jooha did for him in the beginning and Jooha gaining his memories back is a perfect moment to give Dooshik back the man he fell in love with after he waited patiently and lovingly.
Sure she could've or should've made another panel showing them resurfacing but it's her story and to me that kiss is beautiful goodbye to us and a welcome home to them.
Cue my eye rolling (￣へ￣). At this point I wonder if Kim Dan is written to act like a human anymore? The man is always crying buckets yet doesn't ever assert his boundaries then he's thinking of Jaekyung's healthy and needs before his own? Plus Heesung spitting BS about what Jae did was out of his feelings? Like does he realize that Jae could have just asserted himself and said no touchy or we fight without the gross display of Dan's...well everything. It's like the author has to pick the worst way for Jae to act Jealous.
This story is gonna rot my soul to the core T.T
