ch25: dubcon/coercion. top wants to have sex in the morning, bottom says he doesn’t want to because he’s tired, top says it’s okay because the bottom won’t have to move & the bottom has morning wood (implying arousal = consent). the bottom never really says yes but it happens anyways.

[only read up to ~ch30]

(Before Side Stories) I love the art style! Characters were kinda frustrating and hard to understand but the character development was really good handled. I kinda liked Hyobin and Hyuk more tho... (probably bc of the age gap🫣) I hope to see them more in side stories. It was the first longer manhwa for a long time that I was so invested in, I've read it in less than 2 days)

Artwork-wise, I really want to give this a solid ten.
However, i dislike the uke, he used to be a top and always a top and being described as a good one even, but his personality just didn't give me that. He's so oblivious, beyond stupid, easy to read, blush all the time, it's basically just a cliche trope of a bottom but they draw him with a sixpack and short hair. The seme is a basic asshole you can find anywhere even in your real life. I don't think the development is intriguing either.
I only here for the bestie guy and lately he also became annoying...

There's also 0 communication 😍 they just won't talk and it's stressing me out tbh

TLDR; Only the art was great. Plot sucked and i don't like the main couple. Stupid mc, and ml is ur typical jerk seme u could always find. I can't stand the used-to-be-top-but-dont-look-nor-act-like-one uke.

great artstyle, great character development, great tries and successes in getting to know and understand each others

Edit: Not a huge fan of the side stories, I WANT TO SEE MY LOVELY CHARACTERS HAPPY !!! NOT!!!! Watch them suffer bcs of a stupid misunderstanding or random memory loss and just have like a chapter or half to see their happiness together!!!

S1 is pretty much a classic BL with a stoic playboy ML who doesn't care at all for MC at first. The art is good and the characters are interesting, but besides that, S1 is nothing special honestly. There's also some dubcon, Dojae is kind of a dick, so I almost dropped it.

But I'm glad I didn't because S2 is to my taste. It was great to see some normal conflict rise in a couple because of their different world views and values (also because of their stubbornness), then see them cooling down, thinking about it, and talking through it. Hurray for some communication! I also really liked that nobody took 100% of the blame for something that isn't only one person's fault (I saw too many too forgiving uke in the past).

Also, I can't be the only one reading Dojae as neurodivergent, I just wish we got the actual word for it in the webtoon instead of the mysterious "illness" that makes emotions and empathy hard for him, but it's still nice to see.

MC's best friend is still the best character. I hope we get to see more of him and his romance next season.

Unfortunately this contains unaddressed dub/non-con like so many BLs. Want this trope to be gone from this genre so I can enjoy healthy dynamics between boys/men without toxicity and romanticised rape. Was okay otherwise.
Main love couple are quite boring, he only liked the love interest because of his looks.. so it's pretty superficial. That guy is also a bit of a jerk, and becomes super childish and toxic later on. Also refuses to bottom and near forces the MC to, despite him being in lots of pain. Just so much that feels off.
The side characters - MCs best friend and the guy who crushes on him - are actually far more interesting imo. Their relationship is based on friendship and many years of love and care, and I do actually root for them. The best friend is quite a well developed, interesting character and the guy who likes him is so sweet.

One main couple and a side couple. If you ignore a slight plothole it's a really enjoyable read that includes character development. The art is really good and it has it's funny moments with equally funny face expressions.

Another slightly similar series is One Night Mate (the seme is slightly similar, regarding how they view romantic relationships)
