Sunshine Shower

Ongoing | TREEK | 2023 released

I guess there will be some side stories BUT I almost hated this. the ML has a mental disorder and knows about it, the MC is the worst, he's stupid asf, cannot knowledge things. the two of them cannot deal shit with eachother so I think the end doesn't resolve anything. the whole story is based on the MC thinking his childhood friend has a perfect life and everything and he doesn't want to confess to him because he feels he's gonna ruin their relationship, while on the other end ML is a psychopath who can't understand/feel emotions and he's very controlling/biggest red flag toward the MC. It pissed me so mauch off that I started liking it(?) and I thounght that in the end they could've talked loudly and proud about what they felt about eachother BUT NO. I also kept going because I loved ML's insanity, actually loved it. plot: MC returns after doing his military service which he started abruptly as a way to escape the fact that ML had a girlfriend (which he had JUST to show MC that he was normal so that he would keep him by his side. side note: I JUST WANTED TO SEE ML AND THE ROOMATE OF MC MEET FUCK.also I wanted to see the roomate's bf.

Absolutely amazing. I LOVED IT. So it start with a couple that is very fluff and cute (even if it's kinda strage the fact that the bottom discovers that the top liked because he sees him jerk off to him while he pretends he's sleeping-> WHICH IS CRAZY because the top of the other couple was TRAUMATIZED while he was young because a ped does it to him. anyway I loved either couple but the second one made me cry my eyes out, I think the author improved SO much between the 3 seasons. since the end of the second season to the end of the series it was the best. the story talked about so many things that WOW simply majestic: religion and religious guilt, dysfunction families, sexual violence and pedophilia. the bottom encountered such a good personal growth and became so much more secure of himself, on the other end the top could learn how to be vulnerable and leans on his dear ones. the part that absolutely killed me was where the top talks about his trauma with the ped, I couldn't feel closer to him while he explained. so many little things killed me though: the facct that the bottom living in a religious house as his father was the head of a famous church in Corea, he couldn't wear his cshirt without being all buttoned up properly while felling suffocated, and he's really the top who is the first to tell him to leave some of the button unbuttoned; or the fact that the top wouldn't say what he was going through while he was young because he didn't want to worry her parents, and then he had his first great corean friend(the bottom) who kissed while he was asleep and then years when he confessed him what he has been going through while he was younger it just clicks to the other while they were making love and he coundn't story saying sorry, but instead he told he that there were better words he could say in that moment (ily). only thing I didn't like so much it was that some of the characters that I loved want a little left behind, as the first couple, but I did understand how the author felt saying that there wasn't left nothing anymore to say about them because they would find a way and love eachother forever. ps: I loved how the whole atmosphere changed between 2 and 3 season showing how much their relationship became healthy. loved that when they met after two years the top cried as an inconsolable puppy saying that he waited for him for soooo long TTTT

Green Apple Paradise

Complete | Chung Nak Won | 2018 released

So I really liked it but the second couple after some time started to get sooo annoying and kinda ruined the vibe. 1 season: my beloved couple. easy trope in wich the b likes the t when he's in high-school but never confesses because he thinks that he will forget him after high-school. In college he discoverse he's in the same faculty as him and everytime he gets drunk he buy random things for him. the t understands that the b likes him and after some time he starts liking him too. This couple is the cutest one and even if they have some issues they're not so frustrating. 2 season, second couple: they're just two idiots pining for each other with really low communication skills. they surely love eachother so much but that scares one of them so much that the t has to constantly hold back. there's always a misunderstanding with the t's brother WHO I LOVE and the b doesn't give the top much explanationsto him as to why he always calls the t's brother when they argue. I love the brother, man. I really thought that he would end up with the last member of the friend group even though he's painfully straight. some flashback were a little confusing and some arguments, especially the second couple, where really stupid and cuased by the insecurity of one member of the couple. other than that I loved the storytelling and some choices the author made, like nit making being gay a bad thing to society, like the characters would say they're together and everyone accepted it lolz. I hoped to see the love life of the brother and their friend fuckkkk. last thing: I loved thier friend group dynamic, how they would always hung up in the friends house and even university groups looked so confortable and funny (like the economics group and the arts one where the best)
