1# For long length korean yaoi

by Terwa
4 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This manhwa was one of the best I read,as most of the korean yaoi are either boringly silly or you would just be satisfied with one season as the rest would be blah blah and daily life with cliche events and dialogues
This one was new story ,and have good storyline and dialogues that wasn't fluffy or cliche,that as I reached s3 as the writer stopped I still hocked up to the remaining story
It's only flow ,was the long sex scenes...as you wait from week to week ,you'll be disappointed as the whole chapter about their sex....
The seme wasn't cruel to the degree of hating him, specially as you would have anticipated why is he doing this, and the sex wasn't cruel although it was tense, but wasn't to the degree to deeply hurt the uke,and the uke was enjoying it but felt embarrassed
Loved very much Seungho he is my man!!! My main reason for reading this manga

Dropped

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

I actually read or more like skim 60+ chapters and then dropped it. Dunno if I should take the time to read the remaining chapters. The art's good tho. I skipped whenever there are sx scenes because I can't stand how cruel the seme is. Definitely not the type of BL I wanted to read. I like a variety of BL with intriguing storylines, fluff or not. However, the main reason why I drop this was because of countless rae. I don't know.I just can't stand it. Again, art is good but definitely not the type of BL that piques my interest. Cliché,too much drama and too much s*x scenes.

Yoon Seungho is in love HA!

you know jealousy is one of the signs. I have been rereading every time I want an update but there’s none and because of this past week’s Korean holiday I reread again and every time I do there’s just bits and pieces that just keeps on getting clearer and more significant. SH was quite taken by NK very early on, and I just missed it like I would say SH has a thing for NK since they met when NK denied being the painter SH has been loco searching for and SH is not a patient man. I can understand coming from a traumatic experience makes one impatient line hello I can not have you dilly dallying on my precious time. I’m shocked why I didn’t notice some of the most obvious ones and let me tell you Byeonduck is a genius, that’s the most important thing to note. I can’t wait for the time SH cannot let go of NK.

love the art and characters

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

i remember when i first began reading the first thing i thought of seungho was: woah he reminds me of SANGWOO from killing stalking since i read that before reading this. but now its changed, compared to the two seungho is definitely better lol. another thing i picked up on was the art style cause god damn the art is amazing the author really puts so much detail on them down to every small change of their expressions, absolutely love it. the characters are also growing on me too, especially nakyum, i'd say hes best boy at this point. his and seunghos relationship is hella unhealthy though

but nakyum seems to be doing something to him as seunghos starting to get more vulnerable around him like remember when his brother came to visit? I was thriving during that scene and everything that happened in the following chapters

I can see how earlier reviews might see a lack of plot but I have been SO intrigued by this webtoon recently. The sex is nice, of course, but it’s also just interesting.

Extremely attractive art style, proper use of facial expressions to create tense & suspenseful situations.
As for me, I mostly read half of webtoons/manga for p*rn, so 10/10. It's hot & lives up to my expectations.

The story is pretty annoying, only 21 chapters but I'm still not satisfied. Too cliché.
But I agree with the previous comments, art is good.
