Books are superior when the characters actually communicate their issues and figure out the problems in their relationship.
These characters are written wonderfully realistic that I’m afraid I’m just dreaming up of this story in my head.

June 2, 2026Honestly I dont even know how to rate this book. The sex scenes were so detailed and obscene I was genuinely laughing my ass off and learned some new vocabulary.. The couple is actually very cute I just feel so vulgar reading some of these scenes LOL and the actual office plot is so vague with what they do besides make ads that im like ok whatever
It will pass the time though!

They're very green flags, loved how they communicate. but their innocent faces didn't suit the amount of the smut in this volume. 🤭

I swear the only reason I keep reading this is because Seunghyun is so freaking cute. He upped his style game in this one and I'm loving the sweaters and cardigans. Mr. Kim is starting to win me over...slowly. Those XXL Darex's had me 👀.

Not quite as good as the first volume, but that's very much a matter of taste. How so? Well, ask yourself how you feel about a book that opens with an eighteen-page sex scene and has a fifty-page side story that's 98% sex scene and you'll likely have your answer. The actual story continuation is solid, and I very much like seeing how Jongchan has grown through his relationship, and the epilogue is very sweet. But if you're not a fan of extended explicit sex scenes, be ready to skim a lot. (Which I ended up doing just because they were so much.)

Not going to read the 3rd one because nothing really happens in this one at the start it when really fast and now they don’t give me anything they are just fucking around (literally) the art is okay but not one of my favs

Amazing
I really enjoyed this second book. The characters keep growing on me, and the plot has kept me intrigued. I highly recommend checking this out. I can't wait to jump into book 3.

Nach Band 1 musste ich unbedingt zu Band 2 greifen, denn die Geschichte der beiden Protagonisten hat mich wirklich gefesselt. Sie war nicht sehr dramatisch, auch nicht sehr erotisch, aber dafür natürlich und realitätsnah. Das hat mir gefallen. Und das wird glücklicherweise auch in Band 2 beibehalten.
Die Protagonisten lernen sich besser kennen - nicht nur ihr gegenüber, sondern auch sich selbst. Das fand ich gut. Die beiden lernen auch besser miteinander zu kommunizieren, was ich sehr gut finde. Zwar gibt es hier interne Hürden, die die beiden nehmen müssen, aber wenn sie das nicht schaffen, sind eben ihre Gefühle füreinander nicht stark genug, als dass man sich auf sein Gegenüber einlassen würde.
Was auch klar wird, aber nur zweitrangig ist, sind die Ränkespiele innerhalb der Firma. Das ist keine große Überraschung, soll aber gleichzeitig dafür sorgen, dass die Charaktere selbst ihre Stärken erkennen und bereit sind, sich weiterzuentwickeln. Doch das ist nur der Stein des Anstoßes.
Die gemeinsamen Szenen der Protagonisten sind normal. Die Gefühle und Gedanken der beiden kommen sehr gut zur Geltung, was mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Zudem gefällt es mir immer mehr, dass die Liebesgeschichte der beiden nicht nur sexualisiert wird. Sie wird hier eindeutig auf eine ernste, erwachsene Art und Weise geschildert, in der auch die Gefühle füreinander eine große Rolle spielen als auch die Fähigkeit miteinander zu kommunizieren.
Auch Band 2 hat mir sehr gut gefallen und so bleibt mir nichts anderes übrig, als mich Band 3 zu widmen.

ok this was lowk a bit better
i enjoy their communication and their willingness to understand each other despite their pasts
i lowk see why it wasn’t a slow burn (READERS ARE TOO HORNY) and i’m not the biggest fan of smut so it’s whatever
i mean the sex in this volume was good 😊
but i felt like since we got their relationship started, the story picked up a little more
i was kind of bored with the first volume bc it was definitely a lot of work talk and stuff and i’m kind of a brain dead snoozer
but this volume did focus more on them and their continued growth to be better for each other and i think that’s why i liked this one more
it’s always nice seeing a coldish man become soft and sweet because of their lover

Eu chorei no capitulo da reconciliação deles?!! Sério, é surreal que as vezes a gente acha que nunca vai ter um relacionamento como vemos na ficção porque jamais encontraremos o par romântico dos sonhos e quando as pessoas pensam sobre isso acham que a gente tá idealizando o cara perfeito, um cavalheiro completo, quando tudo que a gente quer é um Sr.Kim que tente nos entender e não menospreze nossas inseguranças, o minimo da decência humana. Amei demais como tudo se deu e como eles conversaram e se resolveram como pessoas adultas e capazes. 5,0 estrelas.

Things did not go well for Seunghyun in this volume! He isn't good at explaining himself, or standing up for himself, and after how he was treated in the last volume that's no surprise. Jongchan isn't much better, too dismissive and clinical.
I love that this series is fade-to-black, because I really feel it suited the characters and the story. I loved that the story took centre-stage and although it was implied what went on, it wasn't overly graphic, which kept things nice and sweet.
There was a lot of office politics in the series, which surprised me but also made sense.

I CANNOT get enough of these two!!!
Miscommunication who? These two ACTUALLY communicate their feelings and work as a team to figure out their issues. Seunghyun is such a little puppy and SO cute while Mr. Kim is dominant and transparent with what he wants as he figures it out for himself.
I'm very new into the world of BL Manhwa's but these two are probably one of the healthiest relationships I've ever read and that's saying something. I cannot wait to continue to witness their growth and their relationship blossom.

Read online and so excited that Seven seas is now picking this up for an English print to put on my shelf. There has yet to be a BL novel written by Moscareto adapted to manhwa (regardless of the artist) that I haven't adored. This one is one of my favourite office romance ones as, great if you like contemporary office romances with out any completely off the wall plots/characters or fantasy elements.

Age does not matter between Seunghyun and Jongchan however the two will have a little misunderstanding about the pen from Yusung. Of course, Seunghyun has a crush at Yusung since forever while Jongchan dated Yusung for quite some time. A bit disappointed that some of the sexy scenes got censored or cut when it's getting really good.

Mr. Kim continues to be my favorite love interest out of all the office romance manhwa I’ve read. He’s such a sweetheart and genuinely cares about Seunghyun’s career. Once they get over their first hurdle their communication is great and overall they’re a green flag couple. I would happily read 10 volumes of their day to day life, I can’t get enough of them.

Love
Not being able to express yourself can cause a fight, but making up is always worth it. Seunghyun just needs to trust himself and be honest as he goes with Jongchan. They're super cute together.

I love how the 2nd book is so detailed from how they communicate and cooperate.
It really makes and shows a healthy relationship that the couple almost feels real in RT and not just story based

Glad they cleared up some things pretty quickly in this one. I can't stand prolonged miscommunication. I have to say though, the fact that they only talk about work is a little sad.
