okay dont hate me.

it was boring for me tbh, i understand it in a psychological perspective.. a bit it didnt really have too much of that aspect in it i did expect a different approach when people were telling me it was psychological but i guess it’s whatever. the whole premise was just to set up for the finale which felt.. i guess i dont know a bit underwhelming im glad theyre happy together, they were a bit insufferable in the beginning but yeah. i think i’m suppose to like this? i dont know i dont regret reading it but its worry

i personally don’t enjoy how quickly they glossed over the opening rape scene between the two main characters and diminished the harmfulness of the whole ordeal on the basis that soohyun approached the male lead with malicious intent like the hell, no matter the circumstance the greater evil will always be sexual assault

it's bad but i really fuck with this

i cannot emphasize how good this manhwa is i’m so glad i didn’t listen to the comments who said they didn’t like it THIS WAS INCREDIBLY WRITTEN ONE OF THE BEST EVEN! I LOVE IT SOO SOO MUCHH. The way soohyun changed eunsung so much from the beginning chapter is so endearing eunsung fell so hard for soohyun oh my god. The only thing is that their first sex scene isn’t consensual and it doesn’t feel like eunsung would ever do that. Even the author said that he wouldn’t hurt someone but maybe he was curious about soohyun cause he recognized him and maybe cause he was a reporter and he hates reporters. Idk it just didn’t seem in character for eunsung to force himself on soohyun and it never happened after that either. Their sex scenes afterwards were consensual and initiated by both of them. I also love how obsessed they are with each other they literally changed each other it’s crazy. I also love the gradual change in soohyuns personality he really loves eunsung now. And it didn’t fit their characters to just outwardly say they are dating because they knew that they belonged to each other like they’re so obsessed thats it’s just unspoken cause they know that side of them through different experiences. It’s so cute. ALSO one of my favorite characters, the sunbae, Kim Minseok is SOOOO ATTRACTIVE TO ME IVE NEVER FOUND A MAN I WAS SO ATTRACTED TO LIKE THIS THAT ONE CHAPTER WHERE SOOHYUN ASKED HIM TO BITE HIM TO STIR UP TROUBLE WITH MOONSEOB REALLY FLIPPED A SWITCH IN ME. MINSEOK REALLY WAS JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM CRAVING SOOHYUN BUT HE HAS HIS MORALS I WOULDVE LIKED TO SEE IT I LOVE A MAN WITH DARK CIRCLES WHO DEVOTES HIMSELF TO HIS WORK AND IS PERCEPTIVE AND A BIT CUNNING HES SOOO CHAPTER 20 CHANGED LIVESSS. AND 21!! It’s too bad he has his morals cause he really was about to pounce of soohyun in that chapter i would have liked to see it, seriously. He was so sexy that chapter oh god minseok the man you are!!! i can’t even fuck him if he’s real cause he dates ppl in his age range I also adore how realistically they portrayed abuse and how difficult it is to get out of that situation like the two main victims, shinhae who wants to get out but is forced to stay by the other victims who are told to make him stay by force and i forgot his name heewon? who follows moonseob just so he doesn’t get hurt and for the chance of getting cut some slack by him I’m so happy they got away and got mooseob being bars, Also Eunsung talking to shinhae was so emotionally impactful the way he framed it to say he didn’t blame him for his hatred that it was normal to be scared and make those decisions. I almost teared up kudos to the author for writing such a beautiful story it was genuinely a well written story about abuse i loved it. I also love the gradual progression in soohyun and eunsungs feelings towards each other they got attached REAL FAST AND BAD they care so much for each other even in the beginning i love it!! This story was incredible, it felt raw, it felt new, it felt fun, it felt exhilarating, everything. It was just the right story for me it rubbed every part of a story i’ve been craving for oh my godd the chemistry too?!?! I’m not joking when i say i started feeling crazy embarrassed because I felt the heat from their sexual tension?!? it was so good it was right up my alley im so happy ♾/10 story I loved it so much i’ll definitely reread someday especially the more romantic tension filling scenes!! i never wanted a story to be dragged out as much as this one i wanted so many details that weren’t even related like how they looked in the military. I also wanted to know how others would react to their relationship hehe their family and seojoon

OMGGG I loved this so much. These two having a super messed up dynamic in the beginning as well as a complete toxic perspective from either. I was able to sympathise with them both because of how well the author and artist depicted it, the slowburn was just right for an actual romance and I enjoyed the character development and the awareness of both mcs. I'm glad justice was brought and that we got a happy ending.

Definitely one of my favs.

jello

it was a nice ride!!!

This was so so so good. I can't being to fathom the amount of craziness I became over reading this. It was that good!!! MC's obsessive and inferiority complex over the ML WAS SOOOO GOOD. THIS AUTHOR ABSOLUTELY KILLED! I love this manhwa so much. Top 5 or 10!!! The art and story was absolute perfection. The possessiveness was so good I had to take laps around my house. Also ML is so so hot. I took multiple screenshots admiring his beauty. Also the

Pacing was slow and I think the story could have been a little more focused on the actions vs conversation at times but a solid read with interesting developed characters

okay. it was a very rocky story. the black haired guy hated the blond guy in high school since he was smarter than him. but the black haired guy was obsessed. like crazy. and then he tracked the blonde haired guy down after he faced a scandal. they eventually met up and kinda became a team. this part was a bit confusing. then main part of the story is they were trying to prosecute this evil artist guy who was SAing and abusing these artists. he had a super weird fetish to the blonde guy. eventually the evil boss loses and they get together. it’s kinda toxic and like psychotic and stuff. it’s not as low as 4 stars but not as high as 5
