Dine With a Vampire
I adora Soo In and Chi Hwan, I found them the perfect opposites attract and I'm not gonna lie; I saw this getting dark than what it ended as which is still a sweet twist in my book. Because Sung Ha definitely would have been tied in a basement for the amount of years he abused Soo In. God I always hate self looting as people that can't accept themselves so they hurt and beat on someone who honestly loves them. It's such a cowardly way to live. And I honestly felt sad for Joo Hyun, because he was stuck between a rock and a hard place and made a terrible decision to protect Chi Hwan which costed him everything. I wished there was a small forgiveness on both his and Chi Hwans part for their lack of understanding of one another. Especially with the fact Joo Hyun was being raped repeatedly and he was left to pick up the pieces. Either way I liked that as long as Soo In is alive they can live happily ever after but that small dark idea that if he dies Chi Hwan will live on in misery is a bittersweet addition.

Pearl Boy
I fucking love Dooshik and Jooha; Dooshik is literally a breath of fresh air man! To have man love you unconditionally without set backs has to make your jump. Before he even loved Jooha he knew he deserved love and protection and I adore never once did the author try and make it seem like he was truly in it for the pearls, it was always just Jooha and I commend her for that Ever character was great to read even fuck Pilwon though he and the twins made me sick. They were all a perfect sense of twisted and destruction put together. I could absolutely read this again and again!
Under the Green Light
I love myself some Jin! Sexy and knows what he wants. I appreciate his self awareness and that even if he is using Matthew for sex. It's not out of malicious intent but just...he likes sex and Matthew is available. I also enjoy Matthew a lot...young and a bit broken not nothing super insane. They make a interesting couple to say the least Ending Update: definitely enjoyed my time with Jin and Matthew! I don't think the angst was too crazy which fit the story, characters didn't randomly change and only changed for the better for their specific lifestyles. I will always have a nitpick for making one of the characters younger and having the other interact with them in their childhood (just always pushes that creep boundary) this one didn't do it to the point I felt uncomfortable but Jin and Matthew could have been roughly the same age and we got the same story.
Love Tractor
My heart! Oh they have my ️ and I don't want it back. I can't believe how damn cute Yechan is and how much I was just like Sun Yool and would give him the world. This was such a sweet and easy to digest story after all the insanity I have read lately. The best I can describe my love for Chan x Yool is like having lemonade on the hottest day in summer. It sweet and citrus and oh so refreshing!
Mania
I didn't even realize how invested I was in Yeojin and Munhyeok's story until these last 5 chapters. My heart was racing so fast when they reunited! It's toxic and honestly a bit sad how dependent both of them our own one another but I can't bring myself to hate anything about it. They're devotion is commendable and I happy they can find solace and love in all of the pain and emptiness life gave them. Also both of them at 40+ years old was too fine! Love a good older gentleman story! I will say the Jeong Mu and dad were kind of disappointing villains since we never really saw them in action or do anything damaging. And I feel sad that Seojin saw what he saw both it was the karma Yeojin deserved for planning to hurt that boy anyway to get his revenge. I hope Seojin finds peace in his dad's decisions and lives happily with his mom and friends.
Love Me Doctor!
Pretty unethical and there were some definite HIPPA violations on Doc Yoo-Joon's part, but shockingly I didn't hate it. Maybe cause the author wrote both Doc and Hyun (Hell all the characters) with good thought processes and adult communication skills that it didn't make me want to vomit. I was scared with him messing with Hyuk at 19, but that was also handled with tactfulness. I do wish he had to beg a little longer for forgiveness but not like he did anything horrendous to the boy. Just with held a small part of himself. I actually like that Hyunsuk and Woo-young are the opposite of Doc and Hyuk. Hyunsuk was a healthier version of Doc with his fear of commitment and Woo-young was like Hyuk with easy-going personality and how much he'll do anything for Hyun. It's a nice story. A solid 4/5.
