If anyone cares to go into deeeep analysis, posters in Ahn's room are from movies: punch drunk love, trainspotting, attack on the gas station, the bittersweet life, kids return and mysterious skin. I feel like the author is a massive cinephile and the posters have some kind of foreshadowing purpose of indicater of Ahn's identity. A lot of tjem are about youth, those are kinda dark themed. And bittersweet life come on, if you've watched the movie it's pretty obvious it's foreshadowing Joo's journey. Trainspotting- focus on addiction - Ahn's weird addiction of pain that's goes being kinks. Also mysterious skin... childhood trauma implication maybe? Honestly both ML and MC are likely to have some kind of trauma. But one thing that all these movies have in common is connection and i think that is the central theme of this webtoon or at least what it's heading towards. Ok done yapping
Hey, I’m looking for BL webtoon recs that have a similar vibe to Stranger. The age gap isn’t super important, but I really like when one of the characters (doesn’t matter if it’s the seme or uke) helps the other out—especially if they’re coming from a rough situation or tough home life. What I’m really into is the healing part of the relationship. Something emotional, slow burn, and where you really feel them grow closer over time. Doesn’t have to be super dramatic, just heartfelt. Stranger is honestly the perfect example of what I’m after.

I think this one fits a little too

Seems like everyone is so impatient about seeing them in love and banging when it barally just started... I feel like these ppl will jinx (no pun intended or maybe...) the whole story. Master-peaces don't happen in a day. Just chill and enjoy the ride.
I agree. I’m enjoying the tension and build up of their relationship so far. If they jumped into bed already and started a relationship, it wouldn’t make any sense. I’m curious to see how Incheol will crack lol.
Fr, i LOVE tension, that's actually more exiting to me
But i have a weird feeling about this mf with the lighter
100% omg people complain all the time ‘i have no idea why they fell in love they just had sex right away’ but when authors take time for their relationship to develop people complain that they haven’t fucked yet ughhh
