Lie or Truth

Complete | Tobi washio | 2019 released

Def a must-read story! The chemistry of both characters were strong, funny, yet has good amount of drama. The ending part was good too while a bit shorter for my taste, I quite dislike the part where Seme distanced himself from Uke when they were young... i just find it hard to believe that obsessing someone like that and you never tried to make yourself known all these years... That's reaching a bit imho, tho i like it a lot that Uke didn't put so much resistance to Seme and that he's quite smitten to him too at the end lol If only there's an option to see a whole transformation from Seme, I'm really sad this cute story was short (๑•﹏•)(๑•﹏•)(๑•﹏•)

Nowadays, most BL reads got no good story flow and their rhythm is meh at most. But this BL, it's a great example of how mangas/manhwas were properly written back then. The creators were not just trying to sell their art, they also invest in their writing skills! You can even continue without the visuals, that's how good the writing on this story is. I def need to buy the LZH chapters, i hope there's season 2 soon!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Isn't it good?

Complete | AM | 2000 released

I liked how it ended with them still in college—it makes their story feel unfinished in a good way. It was short, since it cuts off right when Hyobin finally makes their relationship “official.” Hyobin took time to understand his feelings, which makes sense since he never saw himself in a same-sex relationship before. Was Gichan wrong for hiding his casual relationship with Shinyoung? Yes, but he’s a well-written character with realistic flaws. At that time, he was still “courting” Hyobin. But given that they were already intimate, their relationship felt fragile, especially since they started as BFF. Avoiding Shinyoung is good for Hyobin’s mental health for now, but I wish Gichan had at least explained why—he owed Shinyoung that much, considering he was there for Gichan when he needed a listening ear. Overall, this story feels raw and realistic. It doesn’t rush into a perfect love story but explores confusion, personal growth, and the risks of redefining a 10yrs friendship. The open-ended nature makes it even more compelling—there’s still room for them to grow, both individually and as a couple. (▰˘◡˘▰)
