this story was so cute. The art was beautiful. The intimacy was worth the way just all of it was so great for such a great short story. I wish we got to see more of them. I wish there was more of a buildup. I just wish this was longer because it was so good but nothing was missing. It was done perfectly well I’m just greedy and I wish there was more to this because I love them so much.

what I really enjoyed about this one was that the stories plot was said in the Midwest during like the Cowboys era which I thought was super interesting and not something you see all the time I initially didn’t read a different story because it was in black-and-white so for me to have read this entire thing, even though it is in black-and-white goes to show how good this one is I love how in the end the plot twist was that he actually was the man the entire time which I think just made the story just that much better the romance between the two main characters is really well done and ultimately I really enjoyed this read. I just wish there was color since I always prefer colors with these stories, but it was really good.

what i really enjoyed about the story was that the character was very flawed. the male love interest was a very flawed person, and we got to see how his relationship with himself and with his partners was able to change because of the main character. at first, it’s really hard to empathize with him because we see him in a very negative light—someone who’s always telling his partners that he cannot love them. he can give them everything, but he cannot give them love. over time we learn this is because he had a very rough childhood and feels unlovable because of it. he believes that if the person he’s with isn’t happy, it’s better to let them go rather than force them to stay with him. so it’s like a coping mechanism for him to never love them. then comes the main character, who shows him that he is worthy of love. the two of them have a very big age gap, but they handle it really well, and ultimately they are very cute. i’m also a sucker for when the top is shorter than the bottom, because you don’t get to see that a lot, so it was a really cute dynamic. the top was older—which is rare—and also shorter—which is rare too—so i had a lot of fun with that. i really enjoyed the author’s points. it was funny at times, it was serious at times, and i just really enjoyed this one. it was really good.

when i first started this, i was honestly kind of put off by how the story began. the fact that the main character was still a minor at the start and the male lead just pulled up, decided this kid should live with him, and expected trust right away felt so strange. for like the first 40 chapters i really couldn’t figure out the direction of the plot or what was actually going on. but honestly… the story turned out to be really fucking good. the art at the beginning felt amateur, you could tell the artist was uncomfortable with certain poses and the lighting wasn’t very advanced. but then halfway through season two i was like wow—the art started to improve so much. by season three and the epilogue it was gorgeous. the growth in both the art and the storytelling was phenomenal. what i really appreciated about this story is how it handled the age gap dynamic. the younger person was actually treated like someone younger, instead of being written as if they were the same age. usually in these stories the older character ends up acting immature or dismissing the younger one, but here the older partner actually acted mature, acknowledged the weirdness of their situation, and treated the dynamic with care. another thing i loved was the rare inclusion of adoption in korea to signify marriage. since gay marriage isn’t legal, a lot of same-sex couples have gone the adoption route so they could be considered family. i think it’s such an important and realistic detail that should show up more in stories, because it highlights the genuine struggles of being in a same-sex relationship and navigating the legal side of it. overall, i fucking loved this story. you really get to watch a damaged person grow into someone completely different, and the execution was amazing. is it one of my all-time favorites? probably not. but would i recommend it? absolutely. early on i would’ve rated it like 4/5 because i felt so lost, but by the end it was a solid 5/5. i adored it and i definitely think it’s worth reading.

freak 4 freak!! i love when they both crazy. genuinely my favorite subgenre of any romance is this trope. the stalker obsessive type x the needs insane amounts of attention type. so good!

honestly, this was enjoyable but nothing too unique. it really felt kind of like a corporate story — very systematic and almost emotionless at times. the start was very basic, and i feel like the entire premise was too. we have a female lead who’s broke and abused, and the only thing that really makes her stand out is that she’s hardheaded and strong. i don’t mind clichés, but i like them better when there’s a twist. almost everything in this story felt predictable, not because it was written particularly well, but because it’s a plot we’ve all seen before. the art was pretty, but nothing special. i liked both characters’ designs, but i’ve read so many stories with more impressive art that this didn’t stand out as unique in that sense either. surprisingly, i found myself really enjoying the main villain. he felt like the only truly three-dimensional character in the whole story. we get to understand why he is the way he is and how he thinks, which made him really compelling. even when he makes horrible decisions and interferes with the love between the leads, it’s hard to hate him because he’s written with such depth. i love characters with angst, so reading about him was definitely my favorite part. this is a very “feel-good” story overall — even when there’s abuse or bad situations, you can tell it’s heading down a straight path from happiness to happiness. you’re never really questioning what’s going to happen next. that’s why the villain stood out so much to me; he felt different and gave the story a little more life. overall, the story was fine. nothing special, nothing terrible. i put off reading it because i thought it would be really good, but in the end, it’s not show-stopping — just… fine.

really beautiful art with amazing symbolism

this was such an incredible read. i really love stories where the characters have to struggle and grow as people, and this one hit so deeply. the struggle of being a same-sex couple or individual in an unforgiving korean society always tugs at the heartstrings, and this story captured that perfectly. it shows the quiet pain of hiding who you are, the fear of rejection, and the hope that love can still survive despite it all. it’s so beautifully written and layered with emotion. the characters can definitely be frustrating at times, but their actions and choices felt so raw and human — like you could really understand why they did what they did, even when it hurt to watch. i also love that their body types were so realistic and human, not overly buff or exaggerated like you see in a lot of other stories. it made everything feel even more grounded and believable. plus, the art style itself was absolutely gorgeous — soft, expressive, and perfectly matched to the tone of the story. mr. miss was done so incredibly well, weaving together heartbreak, growth, and love into something unforgettable. it’s one of those manhwa that lingers with you long after you’ve finished reading, and i honestly can’t recommend it enough.

I finished up until chapter 15. This is very good so far. It’s a very unique premise.

The art was super pretty and the plot was cute. I just wish there was more plot, but I did still enjoy this a lot.
