Bluer than summer

Complete | Yupopo Orishima | 2000 released

The sigh I let out when Rei didn't die. Mizuki is such an adorable sunshine. He's so cute especially when he realized he loves Rei. I love these two. I got teary when Rei confessed that he went from not caring if he died to being determined to live just for Mizuki. These two must be protected. Love this story.

Someone Like You

Complete | Euneun | 2000 released

This was a wonderful story. Both Shinwoo and Jeonghan have their fair share of flaws and mistakes but I love how they come to terms with it and fix it. Especially Jeonghan, after he realized how much Shinwoo pain and struggle he's in. Shinwoo's past was really heartbreaking. Seeing him go back to his former self after experiencing a bout of happiness is really devastating. I'm glad he has a healthy support system. Jeongyeon is the best friend ever I love him. The ending was beautiful. They deserved to be happy.

Into The Blue Water

Complete | Geumgi | 2022 released

Why are some amazing stories have to be short. Juyeon babyyyy Sorry for suspecting you. Seeing the one you love forget everything in just a week is just pure heartbreak. His sister abandoning him completely is sad. I know she she suffered from enough trauma all her life but I just can't understand why she would abandon him when he's not even dead. Juyeon on the other hand is what Dojin really deserves. His patience and loyalty is just what he needed the most. I love them. The ending was bittersweet yet promising.

Spinach Bouquet

Ongoing | TERRA | 2000 released

What a rollercoaster ride. I thought this was supposed to be just a fluffy teenage highschool romance between a city boy and a country boy. I didn't expect it to be so angsty. All throughout the second season I thought Jiwoo is going to die. I was anxious every chapter. Thank the heavens for Hyeji's book of fate or whatsoever lol. It's heartbreaking to see Dongchan's crying face everytime. I love the progression of their relationship. It wasn't too fast nor too slow. I love how they took their time understanding each other and gradually fell for each other. Also, my gut was right for giving Sunny the benefit of the doubt. His redemption arc was beautiful. Though I still fcking hate him in the beginning lol i'm glad Chul-ho was able to tame him. The ending was perfect.

Heart Racer

Complete | Neko | 2022 released

Taesung is such a cute golden retriever~ The way he's so whipped for Shi-yoon is so adorable. Shi-yoon on the other hand is such a black cat. I'm glad he became more honest with his feelings and finally realized how much he loved Taesung. Also, Jihoo may have redeemed himself in the end but I still can't forgive him. The ending was great though I wish we could have seen their wedding.

Afterglow

Complete | Wagase wagimoko | 2022 released

I love love love this. Tenju is such a keeper. I love how soft he is for Kiyotaka even though he is a yakuza. The way he supported Kiyotaka when he shared his biggest burden as a surgeon was so wholesome. I love how their relationship and affection for each other developed from a casual one to super intensely passionate one. Also, the smut is just ooh la la. Definitely a must-read.

Incidentally Dyed By Spring's Love

Complete | Chepali,Park Jiyeon | 2000 released

This is a masterpiece. The author did a wonderful work in portraying a second chance romance after a decade lost. Cheongsoon is such a realistic character. I love how even I can relate to his thoughts and emotions. His self-destructive nature due to him being alone for his whole life was really heartbreaking. I like the paradox between his family and Gonghyeon's. While Cheongsoon has no one and Gonghyun has both his parents (both trash btw), they're both still very lonely. Also, even though it was morally wrong, I feel really bad for his step-brother's death. Gonghyun was left with even more baggage to deal with which led to their 10 yr separation. Their reunion and getting back together made them stronger, braver and more resilient. I love this story so much.

A Room Without Window

Complete | Dacto gongji, story&,art | 2022 released

Literally never judge a person too quickly. When everyone thought Jihoon is another red flag toxic yandere he just turned out to be the greenest pupper seme. I love him so much. His dedication to Gitae's survival is just so pure it made me cry. Gitae's flashback was so painful. Forgetting 9 yrs worth of memories and misunderstanding everything about his savior was just heartbreaking, Jihoon is just so patient and loving. Damn I wish this was a longer story with more chapters. I need more of them.

December Rain

Complete | Kimon | 2017 released

Ah yes the classic tragedy tag haunts me yet I still read this lol. The pain and misfortune that Gusam and Suchae went through was just so painful and heartbreaking. They had no one to rely on except granny, bless her soul. Also, i'm still pissed that K (pretty sure he was the true suspect) wasn't captured. Their justice system is rotten. The way they decided an end to their pain was just so devastating. Thank god for the author to give us a side story with a glimpse of their blissful lives in another timeline. We needed that sht after all the pain. This was a beautifully written story.

Bongchon Bride

Complete | Son Gae Pi | 2019 released

Another forest seme~ Bongchon is probably the greenest top i've read so far aside from Yohan from Sign. He's just a giant fluffy bear that needs love and appreciation. The way he treats Soongap just makes him the most ideal partner ever. He's a real keeper. I love the story so much. I'm still partial of how the crazy psycho brother got to live a second chance through amnesia. I want him to suffer for all his wrongdoings. Nevertheless, the ending for our main couple is beautiful. These two finally got their long awaited peaceful happy ending.
