"I love you."

the title of this manhwa can not be more accurate: the love between the characters is very pure and now idk how i’m supposed to move on after binging all 100+ episodes in a few hours.

this manhwa has everything i love: lovable characters, tension, angst, comedy, and the found family trope. i started this on a whim after seeing a screenshot panel of the side couples’ height difference which is what i would imagine the moshang height difference to be but of course that was not why i immediately searched for the manhwa and decided to give it a go. once i started i couldn’t put it down

i didn’t care for the first season that focuses on jihyun & yohan even though i did like them as characters and together. i actually started to enjoy them more in the second season (which focuses on my faves daeshik & yosef), so i think it was just the plot surrounding them during that time failed to fully capture my attention

but. BUT!!! the second season has my whole entire heart. daekshik is friends with jihyun and yohan while yosef is yohan’s older brother. their romance is. jsjdjsjjdjs yknow??? theres something about big scary mafia man who is smitten by a pathetic loserman that makes my brain go brrrrrr.

their romance was sweet to watch blossom and it was even sweeter to watch the big cast of misfit characters all become a one big supportive family. i cannot get over how season 3 was full of everyone flourishing and that they all got the happy ending they deserved.

i’m going to miss jihyun and yohan and daeshik and yosef and sohae and taeyong and boss and inwoo and jinjoon and soojung and sunghwee so much though 🥲 i did not except to get this attached to a silly manhwa but it surprisingly has a lot of depth and heart

REVIEW FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES

I actually don’t think my words will be enough to describe how much I loved and how much this series meant to me!!

It’s rare to find a BL that treats queer relationships with this much sincerity and emotional intelligence without turning it all into trauma porn or fantasy fluff and still manages to be so nasty when it wants to be. I was not prepared to get hit this hard by both the vibes and the actual, grounded reality of these characters just trying to love and live with their shit.

Both couples, Yohan and Jihyun and Yosef and Daeshik, felt real and lived-in. Like, yes, give me character growth, give me soft but complicated intimacy, give me love that makes room for healing and for desire!!!
Some of the storylines hit close in a way that felt almost too personal. The kind of stuff that holds your face and says, “Hey, maybe you deserve more than survival, actually.” And it wrecked me. Crying-from-every-hole type of wrecked…. Especially seeing themes of abandonment, guilt, and found family play out without being sugarcoated.

That being said, I did feel a little robbed by how Jihyun and Yohan’s arc took a backseat near the end. And the fact that Jihyun never actually comes out on-page, not even after everything we’d been through with him, left me kind of gutted. There’s a scene in season 3 where he’s on the phone with his mom, spending Christmas alone and she’s still under the impression he’s straight, telling him to get married. And it just felt like a quiet unraveling of all the emotional progress he’d made. Like the story blinked at the last second.

Still, I can’t lie… I binged this in less than a few days and I don’t regret a single page. It's filthy in moments, painfully honest in others and I ended up caring deeply for everyone in this little world. A rare kind of story that manages to be both heartbreaking and healing❤️‍🩹

I definitely recommend the masterpiece of a series just pls be prepared to feel things you weren’t ready to.

This story is so so so cute. So many wholesome friendships and relationships across every aspect of life. I wish I could periodically forget about it so that I could have the joy of reading it for the first time again. Alas, it's so special that I think it will stay in my all time faves for a very long time.

The first season is the weaker of the two, but the second season is glorious, and the third season is basically an adorable epilogue. Every single chapter sings. Even the first season, which pales in comparison to the second, is well told with great characters and plot. Smut is present, but not overwhelming, and in general, really adds to the romance and each individual's character growth.

Overall, it's rare to find a story that can make you so happy without sacrificing angst and struggle and realism. The tone is pitch perfect to still be a meaningful story without dragging down the mood.

Beim Stöbern habe ich mich dann doch dafür entschieden, mal in diese Reihe hineinzuschnuppern. Sie hat Humor und Potential. Bei Gelegenheit werde ich sie sicherlich weiterlesen... Wenn ich demnächst mal die entsprechenden zeitlichen Ressourcen habe und Platz auf meinem SuB geschaffen.

Ich finde es lustig, wie dieser riesige Typ alles mit sich machen lässt - bis er Jihyun kennenlernt. Die beiden sind so gegensätzlich, dass man nicht glauben kann, dass sie sich gut ergänzen. Der erste Band hat mir gut gefallen und die Chemie zwischen den beiden Protagonisten war ebenfalls gut. Ich mochte auch den Bruder von Yohan. Der Typ ist einfach nur krass....

it is such a wholesome, funny, feel good but sadly not-that-long read. it will take over your heart, mind and soul. I've reread it a day or two after finishing, swear to god. season two is where it really shines and its couple are even better than the original. Daeshik is so ridiculous, I keep bursting out laughing at his antics😂🧡 it's found family, wonderful character development and it handles heavy topics in such a lovely way that doesn't take over the narrative. and the artwork is just beautiful. honestly, my top read of this year💖✨

Read this in English on Tapas - Absolutely loved the second lead couple! Yosef and Daeshik are one of my favorite BL couples in the entire genre. An adorable, feisty, honest, loving bottom whose giant bad-boy-turned-loveable-muffin boyfriend can't get enough of him‽ Yes please! Enthusiastic consent and clear communication during sex? Yes please!!

Finished volume 1. What is up with the story line? It had its funny moments but it wanted to include heavy topics without properly addressing it or resolution. It just didn’t feel right.

I will not be reading the rest because why the heck does the next lead look like a effin 10 year old boy and the other is a gang member that’s big and burly? It’s just wrong.
