Two great but tonally very different stories

by jaeminuf
5 months ago

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

This title consists of the stories of primarily two couples, and the stories are tonally as 180º as they can be. The first couple's story is full of lightness and humor. The second couple's story is weighty without humor, as the story's topic deserves. There is a good overlap of their stories but the second couple's story gets going after the official end of the series. I preferred the easy frivolity of the first couple. I like to laugh out loud when I read my manhwa. I had to commit for the second and only lasted because the story and the characters were compelling.

The art evolves throughout the series, rougher but more stylized in the beginning and more polished but conventional by the end. Either way, it retains its beauty.

One of the main themes of both stories is family, those that gave us birth and those we choose. The first story does a bit of a whiplash in its treatment of this theme, but the second story really explores the topic.

I found the stories worthwhile to spend $ on them. Hopefully, you will too.

from fluffy to dark themes

I love Park Ji-yeon's works. They always get you all sentimental about the feellings of the couple only to make you miserable and loving it. This one especially had two couples very different to each other although living in the same space and time. The story feels a bit disconnected therefore but doesn't take away from the quality of the story and the characters. I like how everything ended for both couples and all people involved. I'm always looking forward to their next works.

Beautiful art and deep story

I usually avoid reading such heavy webtoons/manga (especially ones with gang violence), but I went into this blind considering the summary only explains about 1/4 of the actual story.. However, I did end up enjoying this webtoon. There were a lot of funny/lighthearted breaks along the way, and overall I think the author was really good at pacing the story in a way that it wasn't too overwhelming. The main characters were supposed to be Minsuk and Bexan, but somehow it felt like their story was just an intro into the much more serious story of Ein and Diesel.. There was just a huge difference between the two storylines, and it almost felt as if Ein and Diesel were the main storyline even though thats not reflected in the summary or cover at all. Just be warned that this is much more than just a story about an average guy and his dog. Either way it was interesting to see how things panned out, and there were a lot of interesting characters introduced along the way. Also, the main thing that kept me reading was the artwork! Its really nice, and I wish they had done more colored chapters.

Good read but some writing issues near the end

by WhipNaeNae

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I'd say it was a pretty good read overall. But at some point there wasn't any development between the lead couple anymore. Felt a little static mid way through season 2.
Second couple's story however was generally very entertaining and very well done.
My biggest gripe tho is:

how the whole arc between Bexan and his mother played out. There was barely any development between them! I mean it's nice that she got back with Bexan's adoptive mum, but family wise there really wasn't much going on
Considering he went all the way there to find other wolves and his actual family, I expected a bit more interaction, a bit more dialogue, between he and the bio mom, and the other family members, before he left for Korea. It was just very oddly handled imo.

I'd say it's still worth reading. The art in particular is very pretty as well. There's a very well drawn black character too, which I appreciated.

the art is great, the sex scenes even better, and all the characters are super lovable. i especially love the chihuahua :,) ion really like dogs that much but this series makes me want to buy a large one.

the pacing is sometimes off and there are some confusing parts, but nothing that hinders the story too much. also, it has a very nice conclusion which i appreciate. a nice ending can really make a series. give it a chance!

A solid read

I'm not gonna say that there was completely no inconsistency in the plot and pacing, but overall this webtoon was quite an entertaining read, and its strength has always lied in the characters and artwork rather than just its story anyway. I love all the meaningful relationships depicted throughout the series, the doggos are cute and cuddly as heck, and both main couples were just amazingly written, I adore them so much. The conclusion did feel a little rushed and I wish we had more screen time with the second couple after their story's climax, but I guess we can't ask for everything sniffles
Either way, the artwork is astonishingly brilliant; I absolutely love the author's choice of artistic style, and her drawings show immense skills and talent as well as observation and appreciation for the human body on her part. Her sense of humour is great too. Definitely gonna check out for more stuff from this artist.

Great

This is a really great series. The story is cute and the art is really simple and amazing. There is drama but it is minimal, and it's satisfying to read. There aren't really any cliffhangers and you could take this at your own pace. I know it's yaoi but i find myself skipping the yaoi sections (which are good) just because i want to see more panels of cute dogs and of the story.

The story starts off quite humorous and lighthearted and so far, has managed to keep that lighthearted undertone despite the introduction of potential drama points

i.e. when they had sex the first time but the ex-bf just returned so more drama incoming.

I'm loving the two main characters and their relationship. Whether Bexan is in dog or human form, the artist portrays him in a way that allows us to see Bexan the way that Minsuk sees Bexan. And we are likewise given insight into Bexan's POV. The author also addresses the issues of werewolf and human relationships by juxtaposing the lighthearted relationship of Bexan and Minsuk with a second, more angsty couple. And this juxtaposition is conveyed not just through the dialogue but through the art and coloring schemes as well.

And the way these issues are covered is admiring in itself, such as when Bexan was contemplating his love for Minsuk: is it true love or is it simply canine instinct to love your owner? Then Bexan goes on to describe the everyday, domestic things he loves about Minsuk, and it just--straight to the heart.

And boyeee the art is simply gorgeous. Legit super simple and gorgeous at the same time. It's atypical and so are the speech bubbles. The artist also manages color schemes, paneling, and the presence/absence of dialogue to highlight important things and draw the reader into the world that these characters live in. The sex scenes are so sensuous that they seem like scenes from a movie. Overall, I'm loving the beginning so far and am looking forward to the rest.
