Like…. I love you Joe and you have the sweetest eyes and probably intentions, and as useless as I’d be in a fight I still would try to fight for you…..
But I’d also 100% let TJ destroy me if he wanted to, because his crazy possessive jealous ass IS SO DAMN FINE 🔥🤭🥵 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 OOOOFT GOD DAMN 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

I hope TJ doesn’t go super fucked or evil or something, just let me have this one thing.. 🤞🏼

Мафіозний любовний трикутник, ну клас

[Марія Маргуліс · Rating 2 out of 5]

Я дуже радію, що в Україні почали видавати яой, але самого цього факту недостатньо, щоб ставити високу оцінку. Мені тут було взагалі нічого не зрозуміло, сцени та діалоги якось дивно змінювалися, нічого не ясно, все якось хаотично та обірвано. А ще з цензурою перестаралися - так старанно все прикривали, що в половині випадків замість картинки була суцільна біла пляма і не зрозуміло, що взагалі вона собою цензурить.

Коротше, таке… купувати наступні книги видавництва буду, бо хочу підтримати, але в даному випадку я розгублена і не розумію, чому першою була опублікована саме ця історія і за що вона взагалі стала популярною.

Damn this is so plot driven. I hate the love triangle but I guess it’s what makes it so interesting. I can’t wait to read the rest.
I just want Jo and Ian happy🥲 TJ can eat shit.

[Lauren Lanz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This love triangle is going to have me in agony; I can hardly decide who I want Ian to end up with. At this point (chapter 21 being the latest update) I think I’m leaning towards TJ based on how much history they have…. but Jo is so sweet! I can’t wait for more.

Hot mess—I don't care about anything but Joe and his safety. 🥺 Also team Joe all the way, gotta bask in the Joe-Ian limelight, because they're my ship. Forget about Taejoon! I'm sorry, I find him so creepy. I think he's hiding some dark, dark secret.

Нічогенький такий BL з кримінальним сюжетом, мені зайшло. Круто, що у нас почали таке видавати

[ir · Rating 4 out of 5]

an entertaining read (currently on chapter 81 - 11/13/25)!

easy to read and though it’s a love triangle, both relationships are okay to read about (but i do have a preference). the one i like is quite good and serves for nice angst with some really romantic quotes! i’m excited to see how their relationship plays out. i’m also fond that every guy in this have…. more muscular builds and it isn’t typical twink x muscleman.

some issues are that the plot wasn’t particularly well-defined and there was also WAY too much smut for me. wouldn’t say this is a perfect four stars.

the positive of all positives is oh taejoon. SO. SO FUCKING FINE. one of the finest ever. i basically never am into any men in a mlm book but. he’s one of the two. genuinely insanely fine. i showed my friend him in her lecture and we were tweaking out in the back for one hour while her professor was teaching… he’s so fucking fine. i want to do the filthiest things to him. and him back. 😌 everything of him is so fineee and his character is good though. i’m genuinely obsessed.

Protect jo at all costs

[лічі · Rating 4 out of 5]

я тут таке прочитала😮‍💨😮‍💨

стиль мальовки повернув на початок карантину коли я зачитувалась манхвами, навіть є більш-менш непоганий сюжет. і гарненька цензура😳

мені сподобалось, буду чекати інші томи в перекладі:)

[Vedeneeva Yulia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Цікавенько 😏 Мафія. Любовний трикутник. ТіДжей красунчик. А татухи у них які 😍

[lyanuum · Rating 5 out of 5]

second reread and i love this even more
TJ is showing his true colours and I'm here for it, it may have been love at some point I'm not denying that, but after chapter 83 all I see is a horrible and selfish person

----‐--------------------------------------------------------------

finished all 80 chapters that are currenly released, as this is still ongoing

I ate this up for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this is so good, and I've learned something new about myself and that is that I'm really digging this gay mafia shit

I am still Jo x Ian team, but tbh I'm slowly becoming just Jo team because, honey, run away from the bad crowd so you don't lose that pretty head on your shoulders, literally

I can't wait to read more chapters, this is soul crushing, give me 14 of those

[Reading_ Tamishly · Rating 5 out of 5]

So messed up.

[Jenni ♡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you penguin random house & inklore for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Alright. I’m hooked. I’m invested.

Had no idea what I was jumping into when I started, but right off the bat we get a hot tatted guy in the prologue which told me that this was going to be a good time.

Jo and Ian are baby boy coded. I just want to put them in my pocket and protect them. Really interested to see how the rest of this story plays out and why TJ feels so entitled to Ian. I am looking forward to seeing where this story goes. This is going to get messy isn’t it!?

TJ better leave Jo and Ian alone 😩😩

i think we should stop the love triangle allegations and seriously start thinking about them being a throuple 🤩

[Кіра Ендрю · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ця манхва офігенно пахне.

Не дивіться так, вона реально класно пахне глянцем 🥹 А крім того видання неймовірно виглядає (матова палітурка з глянцевими елементами), важкеньке в руці й гарно стоїть на полиці. Мальовка — відвал. Я взагалі дуже люблю манхви, але деякі не такі деталізовані й естетичні як ця.

Це все щодо зовнішнього вигляду, але...

...також "Мокрий пісок" — це одночасно про безліч гарячих сцен і цікавий сюжет. Тут є і драма про минуле героїв, і розбірки між кримінальними угрупованнями (напруження між ними в першому томі лише наростає), і такий собі любовний трикутник між хлопцями, точніше натяки на нього.

Читається не так швидко, як я думала, в мене пішло більше години, або, може, я просто розтягувала, щоб відбити вартість 🥹 Хоча взявши томик в магазині, я зрозуміла, зо що там 400 грн. Воно того вартує. Особливо якщо ви любите яой та трохи романтизованих мафіозі.

Наче ця історія умістилася у трьох томах, тож чекаю наступні й сподіваюся, що переклад не затягнеться на роки.

4/5stars

I feel like I've been hearing about Wet Sand since before I even got into manhwa, but I only just decided to give it a try with the new physical editions. And damn, I can see why it's so popular. The story is set up in such a unique way I'm not sure who to refer to as the MC vs the MLs - all of them are the focus and all 3 got equal "screen time" in this first volume. But I'm very interested to see more about TJ/Ian's relationship (it seems SO messy and I'm so here for it) and also this new fling blooming with Jo/Ian.

Also the art is GORGEOUS, which is always a plus

Pub date: May 6th 2025

Been so excited to read this since my friend has been raving about it (@jenslibraryjems). And I am officially HOOKED. I can't wait to read the rest of the volumes when they release.

This volume only covers 13 chapters of the manhwa, so it's a great introduction to the story, but not toooo much has been developed yet. I do want to mention that I felt like the translation for a couple pages felt a little off and choppy for me. Overall, it flowed well, but a few panels felt like it could've been reworded in another way. But the ART?! Amazing. Stunning. Give me ten more of Ian please 😂

read if you enjoy:
✧₊⁺ love triangles and everyone is hot
✧₊⁺ graphic/ mature content 👀
✧₊⁺ mafia/gang setting
✧₊⁺ stunning artwork (I love how the characters are drawn sm)

And if anyone is wondering if I am Team Jo or Team TJ?

I am Team IAN 😂🥰 just let the man be happy please, istg.

Thank you so much penguin random house & inklore for this advanced readers copy! ♥

Спекотна літня покупка, яка точно потішить читачів.

В нас є хлопець, який любить фотографувати і випадково фотографуючи нічне небо він ловить на світлині самотнього чоловіка на балконі…а далі починається двіж, бо чоловік цей ох не простий🤭

Гаряче, цікаво, спекотно і мало, терміново треба продовження🙏🏻

it's not the book, it's me. i am the problem. i hate love triangle, therefore, bye bye bye... you were more than just a short time.

[Kiky❄️ · Rating 5 out of 5]

TJ I’m in love with you

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great start to a moody mafia romance involving three men- Jo, a hopeful college student with a passion for photography, Ian, a man recently out of prison with a dark past who's trying to leave the mafia world behind, and TJ, a man with a deep tumultuous connection to Ian, who is still very present and active in mafia matters. There's already some longing, some sadness, and plenty of steaminess, all of which are only sure to increase, along with the inevitable danger. I'm definitely interested in seeing where this goes, and learning more about all three of these men.

[Anna Boklys · Rating 2 out of 5]

Перший том, у який ввійшло 13 вебглав довжелезного вебтуну про стосунки двох хлопців. Один з яких - якийсь простак, а інший - майже колишній мафіозі.

У першому томі персонажі тільки зустрічаються. Зав'язка - дивна, сюжет - водянистий, конфлікт - розмитий. Еротичні сцени заради еротичних сцен, а сюжет лиш для того, щоб усе якось купи трималось.

Найкраще у тайтлі - малюнок. Є дуже гарні зображення. Хоча персонажі дуже схожі між собою.

Я не прониклась.

⭐️⭐️
