The Man Who Can't Taste
columnist of a Food megazine falls in love with a novelist who can't taste anything due to his childood trauma: he was abandoned by his mother and left alone with his abusing father who trew him from a bridge in the ocean almost killing him. such a beautiful story, so human, bittersweet, psychological. I loved every aspect of it, I loved how it potreyed ptsd, fear of homophobia, loneliness while still being with someone else, feeling that you're not making any progress. ALL OF IT. the side couple wasn't my favorite at first but I kinda think it's because the author placed their storyline while the main couple was feeling heartbroken, but in the end I still enjoyed them. I absolutely love the novelist and even the fact that the novel he was writing resembled how he felt about him, loathing himself. He went through a lot and he should be protected at all costs.
Reunion
A masterpiece really. his mother is sick with a terminal illness and he needs money to treat her. A Ceo employ him as the fake granddaughter of a person that saved his father. He needs for the summer to take the role of a girl that died in a tragic incident with all her family. the ML is the grandson of this rich grandad and knows that MC is a fake. they fall in love and in their way to greet the grandad for the last they have a big incident: MC is constricted to leave ML because he's threatened and ML thinks that the girl he loved was dead so he tried to kill himself, anding with memory loss. years later they meet again and ML asks MC to halp him regain his memory. Such a beautigul story, it has the calming atmosphere of a summer and the sweetness of first love. I absolutely loved every part of it. I cried for the grandad for his mother dyeing. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ML: he is my favorite pushover, he forgave anything the MC did that hurt him ( he UNDERSTANDS him). ABSOLUTE CINEMA, GOBSMACKING, WONDERFUL
