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

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
NOO! I wanted to hear more yapping T v T (This is simply an expression that reading your comment has been veey lovely.)
It's clear the artist/author is a cinephile given the whole story is drawn like a movie and every panel could be a movie scene, the compositions are exquisite! I'm trying not to read it to let it marinate, but comments like this make it so tempting. Great analysis, and great predictions.
I wish I had your patience to just let it marinate, but I’m completely obsessed with this series. The second a new chapter drops, I sit down and analyze every single panel like it has a hundred hidden meanings
holy wow that was so much amazing insigjy on those posters. i loved reading all of this. i havent watched any of these films but now I kind of wanna. They sound so cool
Those movies are top tier, the creator has some great taste in film. I honestly would love to hear your analysis if you ever watch some of the films and how you think they relate to the webtoon and the characters :>
omg yeah i'll let you know for sure!!! thanks for pointing them out in the first place <3 i'll watch them when college is on break during winters yass
