Sweet As Hell
If anyone’s looking for proof that two people can have casual sex and stay friends, look no further than Choi Eui-hyun and Jung Min. First classmates, and now co-workers, the secret ingredient to this 9-year relationship may just be Min’s unique preferences in bed. As someone who has never needed a safe word for anything in his life, Eui-hyun often struggles with Min’s overwhelming demands. Min, on the other hand, sometimes feels frustrated by how much convincing Eui-hyun needs to get kinky with him. But they’ve already lasted nine years, so what’s nine more…right? Or will their differences ultimately drive them apart?

ughhh. i’m a little vexed, not gonna lie.
don’t get me wrong, i DID enjoy this… the smut is SO. FUCKING. HOT, i was constantly turned on, and their chemistry and overall dynamic was nice… but did he really have to rape him that one time?? kinda fucked things up for me. and even though neither of them seemed to think of it as actual rape in the first place (more like a little weird and unexpected), it’s still off-putting knowing that he had sex with him while he was asleep—WITHOUT. CONSENT. it’s even more off-putting knowing that he’d already passed out the night before from having too much sex in the first place!!! looking back now, it probably wasn’t that big of an issue for those two as i’m making it right now, but ughhh. most other couples would’ve had serious problems with trust issues after an ordeal like that.
oh, and before we move on for that subject, let’s not forget the fact that eui-hyun was purposefully trying to NOT wake him up during said sex as well?? because he figured he’d be too tired and worn out to say yes??? meaning he obviously KNEW he’d crossed the line before even doing anything since he was worried he’d get angry???? ughhh, what a dick move. all these moral dilemmas!!! i’m actually kinda surprised how bothered i was by this. i mean, these statements originate from someone with supposedly ‘immoral’ tastes; someone who has a lot of dark and twisted sexual fantasies. (i get off on domination—and, on occasion, moral ambiguities.) so, in another context, it’s possible i wouldn’t have minded what he did. but this?? nah, fam. not cool with me at all. BOUNDARIES!!! i mean, it’s one thing if he’d made it clear beforehand that he wouldn’t mind if choi eui-hyun were to do that to him while he was asleep or whatever—where’d it’d be to ‘wake him up’ or for his own pleasure. (knowing jung min and his personality, he quite possibly wouldn’t have had an issue with it—as long as it’s on his terms.) but ughhh, still!!! brooo, i’m so ticked off.
so, with that being said: please ask for (and receive) permission from your partners before doing such despicable things, yeah? it’s called respect. just don’t fuck your partners without their fucking consent. oh, or even better yet!!! DON’T. BE. A. DISRESPECTFUL. FUCKING. DOUCHEBAG. ^^
anyway. that’s really the one thing i didn’t like about this manhwa. (i’m going to lower it to a 4/5 star rating instead of 5/5 because of it.) i’m pretty much okay with everything else that’s been going on between the two... i’m not personally into role-playing and such, but it’s always fun witnessing it being enjoyed elsewhere. honestly, i’m just content knowing that things seemed to be working out for them in the end, and that the ‘minor’ incident didn’t strain their relationship at all as much as i thought it would. by the time we’d reached the end of the story, a couple of weeks had already passed since those ‘morally corruptive’ chapters were published, and they really smoothed over the whole ordeal quickly, lol. our couple (kinda?) talked it over and then they just… moved on, i guess. no point stressing over something that doesn’t stress out those directly affected. and if the characters directly involved could move on without any worries, so can i! it’s their (fictional) lives, after all.
so, naturally, other than that ONE specific part of this otherwise nice-and-kinky-but-occasionally-emotionally-dull-romance, i actually quite enjoyed the story! i’m not at all hard to please when it comes to books and literature in general, and i suppose a lot of people might call me a generous reviewer—but hey, it is what it is! i liked it. might even reread it someday! who knows? so, in conclusion, i MOSTLY enjoyed it. it was a fun read, and they both seemed genuinely happy by the end of the day, and that’s more than good enough for me.

This was a good messy romance. A little toxic, but mostly just a realistic depiction of how complicated relationships can be when people miscommunicate, have different desires, don't understand their own feelings, etc etc. I don't think either of them are bad people, but they were definitely bad for each other at different points in the story. But that's what makes it interesting - they have to work through those issues to reach their happy ending.
All that said, this is also primarily smut. I kind of wish it had less smut and more story, because it was the slow love story that was the most engaging part. But since one of the primary conflicts in their relationship revolves around sex, it was always going to be a smutty story. The art was serviceable, but nothing to write home about, which also lends itself to a more story-heavy presentation.
Overall, definitely not going to be a story for everyone, but I liked the complicated dynamics.

I liked how such a simple plot has such complicated feelings and reactions. I felt that it was very real. Some might be put out by the couple's dynamic, specially at first but there was character growth and it was satisfying to see.
About the S&M, who is into it might feel like they didn't do an amazing representation, but given that it was only a small thing rather than the whole premise, I thought it was quite okay. I can see why people not into fetishes could have an issue with it since there's a lot of misunderstanding about this way of living from the general community.
Overall, I really enjoyed this piece and would recommend to read it with an open mind and ignore the mixed reviews.

El dibujo es hermoso, y yo lo calificaría directo como SMUT. Ya que la historia es mediocre.
El crecimiento de los personajes es muy apurado para el final, y se ve que hay cosas que aportan a la historia pero no están bien desarrollados (un ejemplo, es lo que se ve al final con la madre del chico al que le gusta el BDSM).

DNF chapitre 24

Lo leí con el ano en la mano porque me daba mucho miedo que fuera una historia tóxica. Hubo momentos cuestionables pero al chile no es la historia más tóxica que he leído, es bastante decente
Did Not Finish
