Full disclosure, I'm reviewing the webcomic, not the book, so I can't really speak to the writing quality - I'm more focusing on the story, which is top quality BL BDSM smut. This is probably more smut than plot, but the plot that does exist is realistic and supports a good number of secondary characters and external complications that the main couple have to work through.
The author has taken two well-developed characters with believable backstories and quirks who just so happen to be perfect for each other in very non-stereotypical ways. It makes for a really cute dynamic that goes beyond the usual 'tops are this' and 'bottoms are that' nonsense that pervades BL. Their chemistry is great because you can absolutely see what they're attracted to in each other, but also understand where they're coming from when they get insecure or misunderstand the other person.
Overall, perfect for someone looking for a smutty read with BDSM themes with three-dimensional characters and a supporting plot.

This story is still ongoing as of the time of this review.
I've read up to chapter 120.
If you're not into bdsm, rape play, torture play, internal food play, animal play, beatings, sadism, not always adhering to S.S.C (Safe. Sane. Consensual), not always using aftercare during subdrop or domdrop, not always using safe words and probably a few I'm missing, then you should skip this. and the cover art isn't what it actually looks like (I have no issues with it)

Story is interesting, pretty spicy but idk if it’s the translation, but it’s really clunky to read.

OMG
It's super steaming hot.
As it handles BDSM, it's kind of like 50 Shades of Grey, but in the M/M and K-version.
The background of the story is Seoul, Korea.
Not only are the NSFW scenes interesting, but the relationship of the two main characters...
I really love Hwayoug being so multi-dimensional.
Sometimes, the main character of a romance tends to be kind right out of a factory or something (rich, good-looking, good-mannered, sexy), but his minor *flaws* make him even more attractive.
The main story is complete in this volume alone, but I can't wait to see the upcoming volumes and see them in other episodes.
My friend from Korea gave me some spoilers, but I really want to read it myself.

This is just gorgeous. I love the plott, the writing, the drawing style- everything is perfect. The quotes are beautiful and I love the character's relationship and all the difficult feelings involved. This probably is my 20th reread but it just keeps getting better everytime I read it...
