BJ Alex 8

BJ Alex #8

by Mingwa

Every night at 10, Dong-gyun locks himself up in his room, grabs a box of tissues, and watches a live cam boy show hosted by Alex, a BJ (broadcast jockey). Timid Dong-gyun admires not only Alex’s ripped body, but his candor in sharing his sexual experiences with viewers. One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.

Finally a nice ending, but the conclusion seemed to contain a lot of cliches. It's alright because the manhwa was released in 2016 and prior. I can't really criticise this manhwa for being repetitive because if you read any manhwa right now, the tropes will be repeated

I'm happy with the way this series ended. As far as manhwas go this will remain one of my favorites. ❤ The next volume focuses on the relationship of Chanwoo and BJ MD and, while I really like them, I'm not as interested in their relationship as I am with our MCs. I never thought this series would come out in printed form but I'm grateful to the creator for making it happen because I love having this sitting on my shelf. After an annoying start I rate the overall series 5 stars. I can't wait to see what Mingwa does next.

«—No puedo imaginar mi vida sin ti, Nam Dong Gyun. Quédate a mi lado. Ahora sé que no puedo vivir felizmente si no es contigo.»

𑁍 Hemos llegado al final del manhwa, fue un camino agridulce al principio, triste y tormentoso por la mitad, pero completamente maravilloso y tierno al final. Mis momentos favoritos son cuando Dong-Gyun le dice a Jiwon que ama a BJ Alex tanto como a Jiwon, porque para él, ambos forman parte del mismo hombre al que ama; eso me derritió el corazón porque es algo que Jiwon ha estado esperando toda su vida: alguien que acepte todas sus partes y que lo amen por quien es, y en DG encontró un tesoro. También se me apretó el corazón cuando BJ Alex transmitía pero sentía que eso ya no lo hacía sentir como antes, pues era obvio que sólo buscaba afecto en desconocidos, pero ahora que encontró a Dong-Gyun ya no quiere seguir haciéndolo debido a que ha encontrado al amor de su vida; es asombroso ver cuando se aman el uno al otro… ❤️

𑁍 Ni que decir del final tan bonito y melancólico, ambos deciden irse a vivir juntos pero Jiwon lo propone de la manera más romántica, linda y tierna posible; ame muchísimo sus anillos y la forma en que le expresa a DG lo que significa para él, lo mucho que no puede imaginar su vida sin que estén juntos y lo demasiado que lo ama como para darle ese anillo (que para mi, son anillos de compromiso). El manhwa finaliza con un panel que me recordó mucho a la serie de Friends, en donde vemos por última vez la habitación vacía de Jiwon que simboliza el final de un viaje para dar inicio a una nueva etapa en su vida junto al amor de su vida, posterior a eso nos muestran la transmisión que hizo BJ Alex para anunciar su retiro de los streams y me dieron ganas de llorar porque incluso yo sentí el cierre de la historia que termina justo como inicio: con BJ Alex sólo que ahora dejándonos para siempre; simplemente perfecto… ❤️

The ending is okay, but I guess it felt a bit usual or typical yaoi to me. I'm more of an angsty kind of person so I felt like the fluffiness when they started dating is a bit boring for me. I loved how Alex's character opened up and was freed from the past that's been holding him back but it's a little unsatisfying. I guess I've been wanting to meet his parents and his brother (and even the hyung he had a relationship with in the past). Overall, it's okay.

STOPPPPP THE LAST CHAPTER HAD ME TEARING UP I LOVE THEMMMM

[Mar]

Okay! Here's what I think about the ending, side story, and everything overall.
To be honest, I was like a million percent hooked. Once I started, I seriously couldn't stop reading. And since I had so much work, I literally got up early and went to bed late just to read. That's crazy, and it hadn't happened to me in a while.
I liked the way everything ended, and I enjoyed the side story a lot. It was really nice to see.
Overall, I liked it. At first, I was kind of upset, I guess, and pretty uncomfortable with the way Jiwon treated Donggyun and how naive DG was. Also, I guess I saw a little bit of myself in both of them, so there's that. However, I really enjoyed seeing both of them grow (even though I believe they still have a long way to go).
My favorite character is definitely Chanwoo! He's just the best.

Update (over a year later): Let's just put it out there. This story lacks CONSENT. Since a lot of time has passed, I can't remember how many times this happened or in which chapters, but it was a thing. And it didn't happen only once; it happened multiple times. Not that I would be okay with it even happening one time. So yeah, for whatever reason back then I read it and was hooked, but I could never again tolerate such a thing. I'm not sure why I tolerated it at the time in the first place. Anyway, let's just not romanticize this shit anymore.

8 books later and I finally understand the hype…
The character development on both sides is remarkable and so is the storyline. Yikes, I’m going to miss this, I couldn’t wait to finish this but now that it’s actually over and after the last 2-3 ish books I have developed some much love the characters. This is so sad, I feel so attached to them and it’s over. :(

[Fallon]

The growth the characters went through was amazing I love this so much 💖

La vrd que me dijeron que era un manga bl muy popular pero no muy bueno, pero me entretuvo demasiado. Lo empecé y terminé en una madrugada 😴

Los primeros tomos me preocupo que tuvieran sus momentos cringe y second hand embarrasment porque DG hacía todo lo que Jiwon quería, pero me gustó mucho que el pusiera su límite y se mantuviera fiel a eso. Los personajes secundarios tambien me gustaron, el amigo militar, EL CHANWOOO💗 y el Master ese.

El final tambien me gustó, fue la decisión más prudente y la que hizo que el manga se sintiera como un abrazo y cierre. Estuvo muy bueno 🥹 y ahora tengo mas intriga como la autora va a seguir con la historia de Jinx, la cual leí primero que esta. Su dibujo mejoró a lo que era aqui y pues eso.

This is really I-can-fix-him fantasy…

I suppose a lot of people have dated people who they love but they are just kinda assholes so I get the appeal of wanting to imagine them well a “change man” or whatever but it really isn’t for me. There isn’t any nuance, like Alex is so disrespectful and just ignores any time dong-gyun says no which is a lot like how the fuck are you meant to start any actual healthy relationship with such a fucked up starting 😭

It’s not necessary terribly written I read to the end but I feel the characters are lacking any development outside of their relationship they are pretty flat, when they get together what more is there to say?

I do love when gay boys say fuck the law and get gay married anyway though

for some reason I thought this story was S&M but it’s not that’s the side characters but they really don’t have a big part in the story though I assume the next volume is dedicated to them but yeah

Re-read for the third time. Our main character change from red into green flag. I am still waiting for Jinx to be like this lol

[Miki_reads]

Ok, they're cute, I'm happy for them and their red to green flag domestic bliss

[Enchantedandbeautifulbooks]

Escenas preciosas 💖
Ha habido una gran evolución y eso me ha alegrado tanto💖
Al principio me daba mucha pena como lo trataba, quizás empaticemos así porque d e alguna manera u otra los podamos sentir identificados, al menos yo, desde mi punto de vista.
Ambos han evolucionado y la relación que han tenido al final me ha gustado mucho.

[Lari]

buenooo muy lindo todo (excepto por las partes en las que bj no le daba bola al dg cuando le decía que pare)
una vez que empezaron los celos re mil estuve en mi salsa y cuando bj se dio cuenta de que estaba enamorado casi me muero aaaa muy lindo todo
también disfruté mucho las side stories
10/10 el smut

[Hailey]

Wow I loved this so much. Easily my favorite installment thus far outside of the very first volume that introduces us to the world and the characters.

Ahn Jiwon’s character arc and the development that both him and Dong Gyun go through melted my ice cold heart. I am thoroughly obsessed. I don’t want this to be over though!!! :(

From an Arrogant guy to a loving and caring lover- that's it for this Seme.

From a desperate Fan guy to an understanding and supportive boyfriend- that's it for Uke.

From a super toxic story to a loving, heart-warming gem.
This is that for readers
