Keeper of the Pearl
It was fast paced and I'm still a little confused on some of the plot... maybe it was because of how much information I took in at once that made me miss some of the plot, but there are still parts of the story I don't have answers to. Oh well. Other than that, the love that could be shown between the two main characters was adorable. There were certainly parts that hit me and made me want to cry. The extras are adorable. *Possible spoiler??* I'm so glad they were able to have all of their babies safely in the end. ALSO I NEED MORE OF THAT SIDE COUPLE. The extras were so good The youngest son is crazy ripped (@_@)

THIS WAS SUPER HOT WTFFF. Ah yes, rough sex 3p (2 semes 1 uke). Legitimately the best 3p I've read.
Who Can Define Popularity?
ah. Ah. UGH. THIS MADE ME FEEL ALL TYPES OF THINGS. I can't even begin to express how this made me feel. The character dynamics, the relationships they have with each other, the trial and error/healing process they go through with each other – all of it was perfect. Complex, round characters. The realistic emotions that were protested and the ability to empathize with the character's emotions at different times was well done. Each couple was unique and had different circumstances, but they all shared an element of similarity. I loved the main couple. Duan was a very likeable character throughout the entire series. I enjoyed seeing the moments he lost his composure and didn't smile. It was refreshing. I also really liked Bawoo's temper when people he cares for are getting treated unfairly. Hoon is very attractive and a nice guy, but that ability of his to be completely oblivious of reading the room is a double-edged sword. And the relationship between Siwon and his sister is so wholesome - he's such a good brother and an amazing person overall. He's the character I can relate to the most. I enjoyed how Siyoung and Yoonjung ended up together. Gotta love the dedication and loyalty of Siyoung. THEIR MOM RAISED THEM SO WELL. The ending on this was sooo goood. It was a perfect ending. There was nothing left unanswered or anything missed. Everything wrapped up very nicely. I stayed up 'till 5:00 am to read this & write a review on this (个_个) Edit #2: I'm sorry I absolutely don't like their hair at the end of bonus 15 but I do love this story sm
Magus With A Different Meaning
After reading A Dead Crow's Stare, I wasn't sure about this one since it was by the same author, but this was actually surprisingly good. The art was better, and the characters and plot were as well. Didn't expect this to have as much plot as it did. The two leads are so cute, and the little tiny duck things were so frickin adorable. Just wish there was more tentacle action involved T▿T
The Uninvited Guest On My Shoulder
WAIT IS THE BLONDE GUY THE BOTTOM? Someone please update Edit: nope. NGL was disappointed at first but came to accept it. Incubus seems kinda dorky and awkward but is very cute and mischievous; but FSR his little curls of hair that stick out at the bottom really annoy me lol.
Park Hanhoo's Manager
This for sure has to be a favorite of mine. The characters and plot were so investing and satisfying that I was hooked. I enjoyed the mystery and comedy, as well as the suspense and uncertainty since I don't really read mystery and revenge stories. Chansol's character journey was so intriguing and well-developed, which made him by far my favorite character in this. He's so precious and relatable, which is also why I love him. Hanhoo's character kinda remained similar to how he was in the beginning, but that's totally fine because he's a well-rounded character and it just works for him. Too bad it's a shounen ai, but thank you sm author for giving us that (censored, but nonetheless) intimate scene in the special. YOU BET I'MA REREAD THIS.
Back to School
Yeah no, Jihyun got what he deserved for sure. I always believe in forgiving, but that doesn't mean you have to force yourself to forget what they did or have to hang around that person. He was so toxic, and while his personal situations were very unfortunate, he didn't change or even regret his actions even after he knowingly put Chiwoo, his closest friend, his only support, through serious danger/trauma. I don't even want a "what if" scenario with him or Chiwoo just because I can't ever paint him in a good light. Honestly, you could just tell from the beginning that Kyujin is so much more considerate, loving, and healthy from the way he treated Chiwoo. He reassured Chiwoo and supported him, and was stubborn while also making sure to keep Chiwoo's feelings in mind. He's such a sweetheart and so adorable. Chiwoo's growth was so good. It hurt how he was misunderstood like that. I'm glad he found someone who got him out of his dark hole. On another note, why was the teacher looking so FINE? what the heck?
