Anemone Theater
holy......fuck.... tags: nerd uke, bad boy seme, painter seme, public sex, fubu to lovers, heartwarming, enemies to lovers plot 5/5 this had a really unique setting since it's one of the few BL manhwas that was held in the 80's and they made it /count/. it was so beautiful how the writer portrayed a gay relationship during this time and even utilized various settings in this era to the plot i.e. a severe grasp of an asian authoritarian parent on their children's freedom, duk-gwang being a theater's poster artist, and the whole theme of their romance. it really felt like i was watching an 80's movie through panels. reading how duk-gwang and sungho's relationship develop was so heartwarming and heartwrenching at times. they went through so much from an asshole interfering with their relationship to the end of the story where it felt like they couldnt be together anymore--which is why the ending was so fulfilling when they were finally together. art 5/5 the art is one of the factors that made it look like an 80s film!!! the lighting of the characters was always brilliantly set + the minute details of the characters appearances and how the backgrounds were done!!! smut 5/5 IM SO FUCKEN HAPPY THIS HAD FUCK BUDDIES TO LOVERS THEME BECAUES THE SEX PRE-RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS SO HOT!!!! THATS WHY THE SEX WHEN THEY'RE FINALLY TOGETHER BECOMES EVEN HOTTER BECAUSE THEYRE HORNIER!!!!! simp seme - cannot be rated the semes gonna love the bottom until they die period enjoyability 5/5 i think this just became one of my favorite BL manhwas of all time and i cannot wait to reread it all over again. overall: 5/5 !!!!!!!!!

Sign
TAGS: deaf seme, slice of life, cafe, possessive seme, gentle giant seme, coworkers, office roleplay, voice kink plot - 3.5/5 i think this was one of the most popular BL from 2017-2020. it deserves its praise by writing yohan's gentle character and how he takes care or soohwa. it doesnt romanticize his ability in any way, and i guess that's about it. for me, i felt like it was overhyped. i height of he first season with gyoon's brother was interesting but after that it just became kind of empty. although the character dynamic is so adorable, it just didn't feel super interesting to read to keep making it longer. yohan and soohwa's relationship is SOOOOO cute though!!!!! their huge height difference is so adorable when theres a fullbody panel TT i just wish that the story focused more on them bc i hate gyoon SKSJKSKKS idc that hes nice to his love interest i hate him art - 5/5 the lines of the artist and the structure is what make their art look so good!!! its what i wish to achieve in my art style. minimal shading but solid structure smut - 5/5 probably the best aspect of sign is its smut..the first seasons plot is literally soohwa getting turned on by yohans voice THEN yohan getting turned on from soohwas signing HELP!!!! i love that yohan is so soft to soohwa in public but can be so aggressive in the bedroom when he gets turned on.....ALSO THE ROLEPLAY SJSJSNS simp seme meter - 5/5 yohan can literally hire a hitman on someone to proctect soohwa thru connections from gyoon if he needs to enjoyment - 3.8/5 its cute but i think its overrated, i skipped everything related to gyoon after season 2 plot finished. overall: 4.3/5
