Honestly I appreciate the fact that this isn’t another case of a delicate (? idk the term) Bottom character who both looks and acts like he doesn’t wanna be there LMAO. There are so many BL manhwas like that, so the Bottom character being dominant here is pretty refreshing. (Tho the consent is a bit murky..)
That being said, I was lowkey more interested in the rival dynamic between the lawyers I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers lmao I feel like nothing can compare, so when they create that sort of setting and then don’t use it it’s rough lmaoo it’s probably just gonna take a while for the chemistry between the leads here to grow on me lol. I feel like having the mc awkwardly seeing the (bottom) cleaner x blond lawyer (rival) fucking at work tho made it harder for me lmaooo cuz I know I’d be annoyed like do that shit at home??? It’s funny seeing it from the perspective of someone not involved cuz the whole “sex at work” thing is not uncommon between leads in BL but it definitely gives a different impression when it’s viewed from an outsider’s perspective. I’d have sent that report
In any case the blond lawyer is a cheater who wants to “have some fun before settling down” so that alrdy ruins it lmao (he has a (female) fiancé)
YES same!! Rivals to lovers is PEAK trope and even better in a work office setting.
I seek out every work romance BL I see xD
the moment I saw they gave her weird orbs instead of boobs (no nipples) I knew this was a n*ver webtoon even their smut is weird and can be awkwardly censored. They allow nsfw content thru the age restricted section, but it has to be pretty tame I think. Nothing like r*d* or l**h*n where 18+ smut actually means 18+ smut. Notice how they also didn’t focus much on his dick: it’s mostly off screen despite already being lightsaber-style censored (so logically there’s no reason for it to be mostly hidden).
Just a funny observation bc they love to censor nipples lmao they do it on guys often too in other webtoons so u end up with these weird looking torsos
OMG this looks so good
tho I did laugh when it said “lips as red as blood” and then the panel next to it is just the pastiest n most pale lips I’ve ever seen (an exaggeration but still LMAO)
spoiler for chs up to ch21. They (FL and black hair ML) move super fast and get very close and have a loving affectionate relationship. They adore eachother and he can say her real name etc etc. They’re constantly together and she’s always in his arms or they’re wrapped around eachother, etc etc. But it’s the calm before the storm.
White haired guy is livid (he’s watching them with magic or whatever).
When the ML goes out on horseback, shit happens and he COMES BACK WITH NO FUCKING MEMORY OF HER (I just skim read but it seems to be a curse or spell specifically related to her and their love). It’s an amnesia plotline at the worst time bc they just made us ADORE the couple together. And now we have to watch her getting emotionally torn apart as the love of her life keeps rejecting her (and not kindly either).
Like this shit is breaking my heart why must they do this. THIS IS NOT FLUFF YALL LMAO. They’ll probably have a happy ending but this is PAIN I knew they got together too fucking fast for things to go well
This is kinda a morbid question abt ch34 srry
*content warning for SH regarding the knife scene:
When the FL’s thoughts were spiralling and she lifted her dagger in ch34, was she trying to k*ll herself? Or just generally hurt herself (or her arm)? (Etc) I couldn’t really figure it out from the angle and it happened rlly suddenly and her friend had a horrified reaction when he saw her. Did anyone figure out what she was doing (or about to do) in that moment?
No she wasn’t. She was overwhelmed with her mind that she wanted something to make sense. On my perspective, I’ll stab myself to feel pain and let something flow making me feel something that I know which is pain that makes sense to me.
That makes sense, thank u!!
So self harming
In a simple way to put it, yes.
BL mcs when the ml has friends or a sister or is somehow associated with a woman:
I gotta give it to the author tho this time it's understandable cause it's his ex
True true ngl all these similar “oh no a woman near the ML” scenarios start blending together for me after a while so tbh I didn’t remember that.
Though the worst of this type of plotline I read was one where it turned out to be the ML’s (young-looking) mother like WHAT HELPP
I get you man there's just too many of these scenarios
But the mother one is just
I've seen all types of relatives, but mother?? Dangg
That's his aunt's daughter
So his cousin...
But it wasn't mentioned yet
I read the raws so
it’s not even confirmed it’s his ex, that’s another thing the mc just assumed in his head back when they were in high school
They were never really introduced as a family at all so i guess it was somewhat okay for him to misunderstand.lol.
I feel like I know how this is gonna go JK is probably gonna blow up at him and accuse him of all kinds of shit after it looks like Dan’s secretly meeting their competitor and Dan is gonna be even more miserable bc he rejected (tho I think he’ll be back) what could have potentially been a life-changing opportunity for his grandma (presuming the director wasn’t lying abt the new treatment) in order to stay loyal to JK… only to get accused of it anyway god it’s not even happened yet and it’s only a prediction but it’s making my blood boil just thinking about it LMFAO
Also, not a prediction, but an interesting thing abt this chapter: JK doesn’t notice Dan in the room, and when Dan tries to speak with him abt what happened, JK shuts it down and says not now. He’s busy. He’s focused. What he’s watching is more important than Dan’s presence or anything he has to say. Dan leaves and JK ignores him like he wasn’t even there. BUT THE MOMENT JK GETS A TEXT? He’s happy to look at his phone and break away from the tv
This isn’t a spoiler so I won’t be tagging it as one. But I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that there is no original novel for this (from what I can see). Which means NO ONE KNOWS who the ml is, as no one has read an original novel (there isn’t one) to get spoiled who the “endgame” is.
Anyone who says they know who the ML is (or isn’t) is basing it off the interactions they have read so far and is then assuming he is (or is not) the ML, or they read a comment where someone calls one of them the ML and took it as fact.
Spoilers on NU are also only people reading ahead in the webtoon beyond where the English translation has reached (from what I can see), but they also don’t know the endgame. And I feel like things are often subject to change in this webtoon and nothing abt who the ML is feels set in stone yet.
Quick context: it’s a Japanese webtoon (written and drawn by Japanese ppl) that got a Korean translation. Reviews (from this month) I have read in one place for it prove the point, as Japanese readers were still typing about wondering who the ML would be.
Still, to find out the most information you would have to read the most far-ahead webtoon version, which would be the original Japanese one, but it has annoying locat¡on restrictions u would need to get around
I think its the prince, I mean I was searching for it and all I see is our FL with the prince illustration covers, I was searching for other covers, but his the only one consistently appearing, like at the start his not even my potential ML, but I'm a sucker for pitiful ML so I'm inclining to him
I agree, I will be really surprised atp if it’s not the Prince. Tho just to put it out there for the Japanese version I have seen covers of her with the other guys too (like just her and one of them)
jap comics tend to do that on covers yes to mask the real ML, but the prince by far has the most covers, so that says a lot, and the only person she "kissed" so far is the prince if my memory serves me right??
This one is so amazing I love the way the FL is written!!! She’s a really powerful and interesting character and is (imo) better written than the (mostly) self-insert type of FL that’s common for this genre. The art is SO pretty and the plot is solid I’m looking forward to when this gets a better translation!!
The ghost ship be like LETS GO LESBIANS!!!!
(Btw in case the tags aren’t edited for a while this is 100% GL - I was just looking at the raws)
Oh thanks for this
