honest to god, i'm happy that they broke up. feelings can be fickle, i get it. but at the same time, it's extremely painful to see shirotaki wholeheartedly love hitsuji while she constantly jumps back and forth between him and fujiwara. love triangles fucking suck.
shirotaki may have been an ass at times, but i'd 100% love a side story where he ends up with someone who loves him back with all their heart.
this is possibly one of the very few reads that i don't mind the misunderstandings, and maybe even like them quite a little.
it's generally humorous and light-hearted, the characters are likeable, hashimoto's denseness is honestly quite adorably relatable, and the art is just on point.
also props to kumada for taking the rejection well even if it technically wasn't a response to his love confession. honest to god, he's so fkn cute.
kyungsoo is honestly best boy and he is 100% a good influence on chowon. i'm hoping for them to be able to talk things out and for chowon to finally get his character redemption.
also for ya'll who are shitting on hyesung for telling his friend the story about a psycho bitch (in his pov. you do remember that pretty boy hired men to kidnap, then physically & sexually assault heesoo, right?) clearly are just blinded by the hatred for hyesung, forgot that the latter literally has no idea that kyungsoo and chowon are together, and/or only want to see chowon and kyungsoo be happy without considering the fact that kyungsoo would have found out about what chowon had done in some other way or another.
he might have found out about it through an unfortunate way - through someone else's mouth - but i think how he finds out doesn't change much. he and chowon will have to eventually talk to terms about it regardless.
kyungsoo's love is pure, and that's exactly the reason why he and chowon work so well together. a bump on the road doesn't necessarily lead to a crash. i'm counting on them to work things out and have their happy ever after.
the contrast between "I want to do anything and everything I can for you." and "But that's what /I/ want. Can't you do that for me? You like me, don't you?" has me crying. The former is so giving while the latter is all about receiving and gaining.
You can really tell how much Director Park loves Suha and how willing he is to give his everything to him, while on the other hand it paints how absolutely trashy and manipulative Dohyeok is or whatever the flying fuck his name is cause I could give less shit about his soggy ass.
I really hope Director Park continues to be gentle as Suha heals from his traumatic past relationship. Suha really deserves the best of everything.
oh my god daichi is so fucking perfect??????
