Checkmate(TAN)

Complete | TAN | 2000 released

storyline: lee soohyun is always second to jung eunsang in school, which really messes with his self-perception and self-worth... ten years later, jung eunsang is caught in a scandal as the protegé of a famous painter, and soohyun rushes in to see him hit rock bottom (or better yet, play an active part in getting him there). of course, things don't quite go as planned. review: it was okay, but soohyun and eunsang's dynamic was super interesting in the beginning (twisted, layered and unpredictable from both sides) and it just developed into a romantic relationship a bit out of the blue... 100+ chapters and i can't say i was that intrigued by the plot or the flow of the story
