Rivalry
Emotionless Younger Seme x Emotional Older Uke (2d couple: Playboy Older Uke x Unrequited Younger Seme) [8.5/10] At first, I didn't like it very much. The story is simple, there is not much to say: Euntak (uke) falls in love with a gorgeous face, and Dojae (seme) just wants to fuck. The relationship at first glance is problematic, and it's not that they're not make for each other, but is their personalities that make it complicated. First of all, Dojae doesn't understand human emotions nor interactions, he basically just says what he thinks and it's difficult for him to put in the others place. On the contrary, Euntak is someone who cares about every people in his life, basically an empath, and is energetic, joyful and very sociable. So thanks to this, they are having problems of communication every freaking time. And even though they fix it very quickly, it makes me wonder at what point they will under (ofc I want them to be happy forever, and specially in this manhwa, I think they can work, but maybe in reality it will be very difficult). Still, in a way they are very cute. I can't be in anyone's side also, i can understand every point of view from them, so that's what make it complicated because I can say that both of them are in the right and in the wrong when they fight. Anyway, what I do like, is the way they met each other in the past and basically fell in love without knowing (I would have loved to see Euntak found out that, but well at least Dojae knows). Also, the way it was the painting of Euntak that first gave meaning to something in Dojae was beautiful, and how Dojae relates to The little prince with the scene of the rose, since he doesn't want to lose Euntak when he realize that gave him all this new emotions, was so emotional. So anyways, i didn't like them so much, but I can say that, at least if they really work hard with their feelings, they are meant to each other, since Euntak receives this whole love from Dojae, and Dojae learns how to love through Euntak. In the other hand, I REALLY LOVED the second couple. Hyubin (uke) is so beautiful and I liked that he was portrayed as a playboy. In the other hand, Hyuk (seme) is someone so pitiful at the beggining since he doesn't want to let go that love that has for Hyubin basically his whole life. It's the fact that Hyubin didn't want to accept him because he thought that he didn't deserve love nor to dirty Hyuk after all that people he slept with, that broke me. At the end, the fact that Hyuk just didn't give up, and just reassure him that he will always love him, and that Hyubin give him an opportunity to find true love, was very emotional too. I mean, in a way someone can think that Hyubin is someone who doesn't deserve Hyuk, because he hurted him, but if you can understand his way of thinking and the fact that he just wanted to protect his preciated young brother (not real) from him, just demonstrate that Hyubin was really seeing for him and wanted the best for him. Still, I really wanted to see more of them, since Hyuk was like this golden retriever boy and Hyubin was just his master ahh so pretty, love that dynamic. They trully are meant for each other, they are perfect <3
Go Out with Me, Too!
Pretty Seme with Unrequited Love x Buff Inocent Uke [10/10] The premise is a little cliché, but it was good. This short story goes around Kang Juyeon (Seme), who hears a rumor about his first high-school love: Choi-Hyun (Uke), from the physical department, accepts everyone who confess their love to him, but his relationships only last a week. His friends are talking about a bet of who wants to confess to him to test it, but Juyeon doesn't mind that. He later saw Hyun being dumpped and slapped by a girl, and for some reason, he confesses. Both of them start dating, Hyun has a lots of jobs since he is poor, but Juyeon goes visit him everytime, it's his first love, he won't lose this opportunity. Later on, they have s3x, lots of times apparently, and one day Juyeong's friends discover them together, spitting out the bet thing. Juyeong obviously is preocuppied and takes Hyun away from there. Hyun, crying, thinks he was just a bet, but doesn't care, while Juyeong just got on his knees begging for not to leave him. Obviously nothing happened, and they confess their true love in front of lots of people, have s3x again and the end. So the story is very cutesy, i mean even though is cliché, it has potential to be a longer manhwa. The relationship between them, though it's not very developed, seems to be very healthy. Juyeong looks like the type of person who will support his boyfriend at any time, understandind his situations (this man never dated anyone bc he couldn't forget him, that's a true love there). With Hyun, though he apparently was in a lot of relationships, he seems to be a nice and cute guy that actually tries to be the best man, i fon't know if for their other partners, but at least he does for Juyeong (this man quit some of his jobs to be with him, like man u are an angel). Anyway, both of them are cute, Juyeong bc he adores Hyun and treats him like his most precious thing (i mean, that scene where he just kneel for forgivenes was so funny but so cool), and Hyun bc he is like this buff teddy bear that is trying his best, so innocent and pure, and just tries to be the best version to his partner, always trying to make them comfrotable (though i think is just bc is Juyeong, the flashback makes me think he also had a crush on him). The story is very cute, and i think they will work out everything in the future, none of them is willing to give up on the other so yeah <3
