Review for full series.
Look, this is one of those many stories were the dragon needs a wife and the brother goes "let me do it instead", plus a rampant RAMPANT amount of non-lightsabered smut (you have this knowledge now do with it what you will). It was definitely really cute, characters all are pretty well developed, and a puppy top is just the best. The story is also pretty solid and I enjoyed it. A good time if this is what you are looking for.

«Me encanta que, al llegar la primavera, me enseñe sobre flores. Que me haga sombra con sus manos durante el verano, que en otoño me regale hojas de diferentes colores… y que me abrace para calentarme durante el invierno. Me encanta todo de usted y lo amo mucho.»❤️

I've read the complete story on Lezhin US, but I'm reviewing it a volume at a time here. Yoo Taehyuk's family has been serving a dragon for centuries; the source of their good fortune and wealth, not that the creature has been seen the entire time. But now he's awaken and searching for his mate, so one of the family has to become it to keep the good fortune in the family.
Taehyk's sister is chosen, but he suggests he'll go instead. He's felt connection to the dragon since he was a child, and he's curious to see the real thing. However, he goes there with an intention to talk the creature out of the mating, as he has better things to do than settling down. But he encounters a young man who wants nothing to do with him. So, naturally Taehyk has to try and change his mind.
This is a good start to a series, if a bit slow and difficult to get into at first. But, having read the whole thing, I know it'll get more interesting fast. And spicy.

This review is for the entire webtoon (available on Lezhin). This has a pretty slow start, and only fully kicked off in the second season when it flashed back to their past lives together. Mostly, I enjoyed it, but the story had some elements that made me feel uncomfortable rather than emotionally invested.
Hyo-Un's relationship with Taehyuk is very complicated. This should be a good thing, and I usually enjoy a relationship that encompasses real human struggles and blurred lines. But between their ages, their co-dependency, the lies/secrets, and the power dynamics more broadly, it was just a bit... murky. I can see the romance in it, and I don't think anyone's crossing any major lines, but consent gets a bit ambiguous at times.
One of the biggest reasons this didn't land for me is because I could never get behind Hyo-Un. He's too mopey and childish for me to enjoy his story. He's a sympathetic character, sure, with a tragic past to overcome, but nothing about him being an obsessed cry-baby makes me root for his relationship with Taehyuk in particular. I'd rather see him process his trauma and move on in a healthy way. Hyo-Un isn't human, so it wouldn't be fair to judge him by human standards, but at no point does he seem emotionally mature enough to really know what he's doing in making Taehyuk his soulmate.
Overall, a very unique story, with a nice blend of modern setting, fantasy elements, and then historical setting as well. But the pace was a little slow, and the conflicts/complications in the romance were a bit too morally ambiguous for me.

Wenn man ehrlich ist, ist das hier irgendwo bei Dubcon, aber ... für einen koreanischen Manga ist das so ziemlich sehr harmlos :D deswegen, eh *schulterzuck*. AUfjedenfall haben wir hier wieder einen Fall von Horsecock-Größe *hust* und sonst passiert in dem Band noch nicht SO viel an story (mehr als in chinesischen tho.)
Alles hat mit einem Drachen zu tun, der theoretisch der Familie von Taehuks ihren Geldsegen etc. beschafft hat. Dieser ist nach 300 Jahren aufgewacht, nachdem seine Geliebte (oder ist es eine Frau? ;D) gestorben ist. Tae will seine SChwester schützen, die den Drachen heiraten soll, und geht an ihrer Stelle.
Aber weder Drache noch Tae haben a. wirklich bock darauf und b. glauben einander irgendwas.
Es wird schnell klar, das der Drache krank ist, und Tae entwickelt irgendwie Gefühle für ihn, naja. Es ist hübsch gezeichnet, unzensiert, typisch koreanisch groß, und ich hab nicht mit Tentakeln gerechnet.
Ich bin aufjedenfall interessiert :D

Zuallererst möchte ich mich für das Rezensionsexemplar bedanken, welches mir von papertoons bereitgestellt wurde. Dieser Fakt beeinflusst aber in keiner Weise meine persönliche Meinung zu diesem Buch. Der Post enthält Werbung und die Rechte liegen beim Verlag.
Natürlich ist dies nur meine persönliche Meinung und nur weil ich diesem Buch diese Bewertung zukommen lasse, heißt es nicht, dass es auf jeden anderen zutrifft.
Uhhh das hat so viel mehr Spaß gemacht als ich dachte. Vom Cover hatte ich ja eine gewisse Vorahnung in welche Richtung das gehen könnte und genau in die Richtung ist es auch gegangen. Der Zeichenstil gefällt mir und auch die Panelaufteilung ist gut. Ein bisschen viel weißer Leerraum meiner Meinung nach aber darüber kann ich hinweg sehen. Ich bin gut in die Story reingekommen und wusste direkt worum es geht und hatte keine Orientierungsschwierigkeiten.
Storymäßig möchte ich nicht zu viel verraten. Ein paar kleine Plottwists deuten sich an und ich glaube ich weiß was im nächsten Band passieren wird und ich freue mich drauf.
Die Charaktere an sich finde ich interessant und der Cast ist auch nicht zu groß, sodass man nicht durcheinander kommt. Ich persönlich finde jedoch den Drachen ein bisschen übergriffig und hoffe, dass das im nächsten Band weniger der Fall ist.
Fazit
Toller Auftakt einer neuen Boys Love Reihe.

Actual rating: 3.5 stars
This review is for S1 of the webtoon.
I like the relationship dynamic between Yoo Taehyuk (MC) and Hyo-un (ML) because they can’t get enough of each other. It took both of them to warm up to each other but once they did, they couldn’t keep their hands off of each other. It’s really hot and their chemistry is off the charts, which is me saying in a roundabout way that the smut in this webtoon is chef’s kiss. I also like how even though Hyo-un is technically a 300-year-old dragon, Taehyuk is the one who’s more mature in their relationship. I mean, from what has been hinted in the story so far, Taehyuk was older than Hyo-un was in their shared past, with Taehyuk even being Hyo-un’s lord so the ending of S1 wasn’t surprising to me. There’s still a lot to uncover and I’m hoping that the characters will get a happy ending.

1.5 ⭐️
Los protagonistas tienen una relación muy problemática… Con solo ver que tuvieron su primer encuentro sexual cuando el mayor está ejerciendo un rol de padre en el otro y este, a pesar de ser un espíritu, tiene una mentalidad de adolescente/niño antes y después del acto- No lo recomiendo… Es una historia espeluznante.
Tenía el potencial de gustarme porque me encantan los dragones, pero el protagonista, que es el espíritu de dragón, tiene una personalidad infantilizada. Realmente no puedo entender cuál era la necesidad de haber hecho que las circunstancias y bases de su conexión fuera algo casi incestuoso y p3do.

This manhwa is the most emotionally charged one I have ever read. Similar to "Taming the Tiger," it features two timelines: the past and the present, along with the tragedies within that are truly worth crying over. I love the pacing of the story, the plot, and the heartfelt quotes exchanged between the male leads. My heart aches for both Hyoun and Taehyuk and what they endured, especially Hyoun. His younger self is my weakness, and his beautifully broken eyes convey so much grief and pain. Every character received what they deserved in the end, although I do feel sympathy for Taehyuk's older brother; he seems to have a rough time based on my observations.

Season 1 was okay. I was intrigued about what the deal with the dragon was and if there was more to his mate´s dissapearance. Only bad thing is that in the last third it was SUDDENLY ALL SMUT SOS. Y por que los penes son tan grandes, que parecen salchichon no puedo mas ;.; Y el noncon at the begginng nonono. Esto me pasa por hacerle caso a las recs de tiktok based on looks, sigh. Also, Hyo-un no me gusta nada...Esta mazadisimo y parece que se le va a reventar algo un dia ;.;
I swear que encontrar un buen bl webtoon es darle palos a una piñana teniendo los ojos tapados. Sigh.

I’ve finished the entire story in one day cause night shift and it was so cute 🥺 and romantic and yall know im a sucker for past lives 😭 the amount of hardships and tragedy these two had to face 😭 they absolutely deserve that hea 🙏🫶 also i didnt even expect to cry! Like we have been so conditioned to only expect red flags and toxic relationships in BLs that if people are even decent it makes me cry 😂 and i like how mature taehyuk is there is no annoying back and forths 😂

Una rica familia debe su buena suerte en los negocios a su secreto: en cada generación envían a una "esposa" para el dragón. Todo parecen tonterías, pero cuando el hijo mayor va a encontrarse con el "dragón" encuentra un ser terrorífico que no tiene recuerdos y al que tendrá que ganarse poco a poco.

MASTERPIECE I LOVE IT, IT IS SO REAL.
Talking seriously, I love the way the relationship is so deep and with the 2d season knowing the past between then make so much sense a lot of things.
It is not just a "BL", is a love history
