I found out this work was inspired by the author and his husband's journey, but I check their twitter, and it's Sanseito...
They really just ignored the gaping hole to return AU Geumryang to nature with his children.
Maybe knowing this, they'll stay together and repair the whole.
Ugh, what did I just read...
Ok, let's ACTUALLY try to dissect this. Basically, it's a longtime rivalry of ideologies. The top shows the world is full of villains at the top while the bottom while believes in justice. But for justice to prevail, he needs to overtake the top, so he stays with the top to overtake his position, hence why he told his chief he'll pay for his sins as he intends on controlling the group for that and showing cracks of humanity like after stabbing chief...
I... I don't know at this point. At least the victim the bottom tried saving his fine? The author shouldn't delve into topics of humanity, I think.
If you're like me and watched the anime first, take this as a measure to prevent confusion, read from the beginning because there's so many narrative and story line details along with characters present in one medium but not the other that'll cause some confusion.
I don't see why people complain about the art. The proportions are fine, the shading look good, and there're plenty of details; it's beautiful. I don't understand why people see this as weird; not every drawing style should look like anime-esque, and I also like the rougher looking men, and I think other should too if they love someone like "Ajussy" from Dangerous Convenience Store.
And what's so insulting is that this is one of the ones where the drawing style isn't so grotesque, but the actual content is horrid, so it's so misleading on the readers.
I don't know if it's the way the chapters are divided by the author or the uploader, but it feel like "this meet," "these chapters could've been compiled."
The art is beautiful, but the plot is just so... muddy? Like, I feel like there was supposed to be a intersection between their personal plots, but it just ends when the tutor gives up on life and the master dies.
I don't know if I'm getting the correct info, and while I don't know about the novel, I think the manhwa, emphasis on the manhwa, got dropped, or is at least on hiatus, because the artist departed from the series.
And reddit says this is the author's other serialized manhwa; there's another one called 일단 결혼부터 (Once Married/Let's Get Married First) with a different artist, but that artist also departed. So, I feel like maybe it's for the better because either the author is really hot and cold to work with, or contracts artists in a really shady way.
Has anyone else tried eating ramen/ramyun dry? I did, and never again because it's just so unsatisfying.
There're 2 extra chapters, but sale for both the digital and physical copies of the manga ended last year.
Although, it only says the digital sale of the novel ended, so is it available physically? Is there a translation online? How's the novel, and what got removed in the manga?
Personally, although I know how much more work it would've been for the artist, but I would've wanted a second round "I can't forget your body" type of reencounters with a reveal of who he decided as a boyfriend.
Although, I do find the attorney the most stable. From my personal favorites, the gangster is too polarizing, the twins are based in the US (so MC would have to move, which he can't because he's still attending uni), and the straight man might've not been interested in romance other than for the body. I also like the lifeguard, and I can't find a reason why not to date him other than beaches being a seasonal job, so ultimately the attorney is a great pick.
But none of them have spoken up yet to try out reality. Like, "if you're real, meet me at this location."
I think I'm drawn into how Bongchun's face because it resembles Unknown from Our Sunny Days. Like, beady eyes, maybe no eye lashes, it makes them look innocent.
Uh, we'd rather she hurt herself.
10 years? Listen, I know Japan is the country of lack of change, maybe it's time to reassess their relationship. Having girls live in fear of men, unfamiliar of how to protect themselves from the men Subaru feared is just isolating them from the real world.
Ever heard of self-defense classes? Keychain alarms?
He's working so hard starving at sea, yet he still smiles, his face is gentile, and his loves his sibling! Cinnamon bun husband.
Oh, god. What's an emotional ride. Where to start?
I like Bongchon was raised as a gentle giant who never intentionally killed anyone. Even in the most tense moments, he was reserved for moving obstacles out of the way. But the only ungentle thing about his is his sex drive, and even though sex is this adult thing, it still manages to be a child a heart during those romantic moments because it feels like the first time each time for him.
I also like Soongap and Bongchong realized rather early on they were receptive of each other. Because from there, due to their different but shared pains, they become closer and open up.
And I think the stepbrother's plot ended in the correct way. He probably believes he's redeeming himself by sacrificing himself near the end, but even at the point, he don't reflect on the damage he actually did, mentally on Soongap and physically on Bongchon. Had the bandits not been there, Bongchon would've been dead, meaning the stepbrother's command on the soldiers to not kill him would've been late, let alone, he also shot at Bongchong. So, at the stage, he still had no idea! His final scene is him parting with Soongap, although I'm curious whether he actually accepted his fate to move on, or he got amnesia, hence why he doesn't remember. That was an interesting dialogue choice from the author.
Gonna miss these two. Maybe I'll check on the author's accounts to see if there's any art of them after.
