pluviophiliac's manga / #korea’s got talent!(136)

so, so funny. i love the originality of this!!! and the overall ‘dynamics’ between our two mains, if you will. they’re such a great match! even though they don’t seem to realize that themselves just yet, lol. super excited to see where this goes! #intrigued - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - …i genuinely can’t believe i haven’t been leaving any more comments or making any updates WHAT.SO.EVER. since this ^ one right there. i’m so ashamed, knowing how invested i’ve been these last couple of months… as well as disappointed in myself. (normally, i would’ve made sure to do so—especially for a story this compelling and enthralling.) i mean, soooo, so much has been going on since i first started reading…!!! i haven’t been doing this manhwa justice, i can tell you that much. but i’ll try my best to make this review at least semi-worth it! this manhwa is so much more than just ‘funny with some interesting dynamics’ or whatever. there’s been so much complexity, character development and emotional depth, slowly building up—ESPECIALLY during these last 30-ish chapters or so. just next level ethereal writing, honestly. words can’t seem to express just how much i feel for these characters, i swear to all that is holy. not only that, but the art is so crazy beautiful as well!!! (once again, especially during the latter half of the story once things started to get heavy and the expressiveness of the art got to truly come alive.) honestly, i’m kinda floored—having read the final chapter just now, ten minutes ago. this comic had me tearing up and laughing and literally sobbing and full-on screaming into my pillow at three A.M. (for reasons i won’t dive into here), and it’s just… such a bittersweet feeling, knowing that it’s all over now. i’m getting emotional just writing this, lol. ‘no outtakes’ didn’t take me by storm at first, but that was a mistake—or miscalculation, if you will—on my part. it’s a virtual masterpiece, and i implore EVERYONE to read it… because it’s truly worth all the appreciation and attention it receives. i don’t doubt i’ll come back for seconds, either. and next time, i’ll be able to binge the whole thing in one go; not having to depend on weekly updates and such! ahhh, such a blessing. i’m already looking forward to it. <33 in the future, when the timing for rereading is juuust right, i’ll head back over to webtoon and purchase all the chapters so i won’t have to ‘respect’ the daily update-rule, either. it’s not even that much of a big deal (dealing with the daily updates, i mean), but i personally believe it’s a worthy investment. just imagine having the opportunity to binge this, in full, for the very first time!!! ahhh, the thrill. <33 i mean, the artist absolutely deserves it as well—naturally! so, i wish to thank you, dear creator, for your beard work, and for creating this beautiful, heavy, memorable, ENGAGING piece of art. i’m genuinely thankful. P.S. i’ll be looking forward to your new story as well! having read this one, i already know it’s going to be amazing. i can’t wait! (also, i’m missing the ‘bad bitch club’ tag and it really bothers meeee.)

my god, i’m fucking DRENCHED. it’s been awhile since i came across a ‘love story’ this realistic, seriously. i love their chemistry! really, i’d consider this one of those hidden gems, i believe. everything about this development is great! and i fucking ADOOOOEE the bdsm play. it’s been ages since i read a josei one. it’s a nice break from all the yaoi i consume. <33 anyway, i’m excited (lol, literally) to keep reading! it’s great. edit: it’s finally over, and that was some surprisingly wholesome ending. i really like this couple, haha. they feel so real! i appreciate that about them. :)

honestly, words can’t even express the amount of adoration i hold for this story. i adore it, every single THING about it. i legit want to cry right now from how moved i feel... it’s one of the purest, most wholesome stories i’ve read in a long while; i’ve literally got chills all over. (i feel blessed.) it’s not something i expected. i’m so glad i didn’t pass this by. oh, how i could’ve missed out on something great… ugh, gus and charles deserve the world. i wish i could give it to them. i have no idea how it’ll end, but i’m praying, PRAYING (please note that i’m actually a nihilist) for a happy ending for these two. i have an inkling i won’t be disappointed, but i won’t make any assumptions. you never know! in any case, can’t believe i’m actually writing this with tears in my eyes, lol. perhaps i’m really heading into another mental breakdown or something... this is the second time i’ve lost it in two goddamn days. like, the fuck? this truly doesn’t happen to me anymore. it hadn’t in a long time. at least that confirm i’m not a psychopath, i guess. now i’m actually full-on sobbing, give me a minute. … update: wow. i can’t believe it’s already over. first of all, this is 100% one of the best manhuas i’ve read, i swear to fucking GOD. i honestly don’t know if i’ve ever been as emotionally invested in any fictional characters (in the world of MANHUA, that is) as i’ve been invested in these two and their respective journeys. seriously, such a beautiful story! their love story actually turned me into an emotional wreck more than once, lol. still, i loved every single moment of it! gorgeous, gorgeous writing. and such wonderful progression, too… really, i’ve got no complaints. would’ve loved for the comic to be longer than it was, but it wasn’t lacking in any way or anything… i suppose i’ll just miss these guys. they both deserve the world. thank you, author, for creating this lovely piece of work.

soooo… i’m about to go get my third covid shot, so i’ll keep this short! this was so freakin’ WHOLESOME, y’all. amazing characters and wonderful character development! i enjoyed it till the very end. :) i wouldn’t say i mind open endings, but i would’ve appreciated some closure, but i suppose we can’t have everything, heh. at least there’ll be two bonus chapters for the side characters! i’ll definitely check out any other works by the creator once i find the right time.

super. freakin’. ADORABLE. even so, i wish there’d been more of a conclusive ending, but it was alright, i guess. perhaps there’ll be a few bonus episodes!!! or an epilogue, hopefully. well, considering the fact that it’s still not marked as complete yet. ;)

so. fucking. ADORABLE. i absolutely loved the character development in this one. <33 i’ll definitely check out other work by this creator, too. well, if there are any, that is!

this guy… is pretty fucking SAVAGE, my god. that’s some big dick energy right there, ughhh. his intelligence and conniving personality is so fucking attractive, i kid you not. what makes the whole ordeal even more enthralling is being able to actually firsthand WITNESS (!!!) just how upstanding and righteous he truly is. so much integrity!!! and in the best way, too. i quite admire his drive. honestly, this is the kind of excitement i need and want more of. i’m just in looove with the way ryu youngjoon handles people!!! both friends and foes. he always seems to be at least three steps ahead of everyone, at all times; always ready to pounce. it’s weirdly satisfying, lol. the fact that he’s literally out there ridding the world of diseases while simultaneously SAVING it through medicine and microbiology—just because HE CAN…? makes everything all the more intriguing. and him all the more attractive, too i love love LOVE him. as a bonus, i’m learning so many new things today, too! it might be fictional, but it’s still educational and eye-opening. it’s great, heh.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I DIDN’T EXPECT THIS AMOUNT OF COMEDIC GENIUS, BRO!!! so fucking funny, omg. unexpectedly wholesome, too. also, our killer’s so UNBELIEVABLY. FUCKING. ATTRACTIVE. i’ve actively decided to binge this one in the shower… ‘cause it not, R.I.P. my lacey underwear. goddammit.
