Lack of Love

Description

Hajin Park doesn't have much beyond a pretty face. He's jobless, lives with an annoying roommate who watches porn on max volume, and has modest aspirations of opening an online store. His sister will help him achieve his dreams on one condition: if he gets autographs from the famous all male idol group Eight Nine. When he finds mega pop star Hangyum Lee pleasuring himself in a bathroom stall, it's not just Hajin's memories of their past together that gets stirred. A twisted romance lacking anything but love begins.

art is good but features lots of lack of communication

by mimi201

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

If you have read the authors latest work Portrait of a bad guy then you can already expect somewhat what this series will be. (Messy relationships, lots of messy plot points that need to be tackled and resolved, lack of communication, bickering friends with benefits couple)

This is the author's debut work and while I do enjoy the cliche tropes Lack of Love had (reunion, bickering friends with benefits turning into real lovers,etc) , the lack of communication was a bit frustrating at times especially the seme not explaining certain important things that had to do with their past and mistaken identity.

Since it was a debut I can't really be too harsh. The art was really the strong point. Other strong points were consistent character personalities/their actions. The writing and their dialogue were good at times and funny even. I don't think this was one of the worst series and was rather enjoyable mostly.

A lot of good points but not enough to be perfect

While the trope is unoriginal (celebrity + employee), the characterization of the uke is well-made and novel. The uke talks back, is assertive, has life goals, etc. (also he likes sex but isn't crazily promiscuous) and that's the manhwa strong point. As a result the couple is plausible and interesting. Side characters, especially friends and family members are, for most of them, well fleshed considering they're side characters.
Now the plot is weak, it's mostly miscommunication. And the plot resolution lacks some order and details.
For the rest, art is gorgeous, smut is good, people are level-headed, there's some comedy elements. It's definitely a good read.

The ending

by Yamara

Rating: N/A

This series wasn't too bad. It does certainly drag in bits. All conflict is caused by zero communication misunderstandings.
The biggest issue is the abrupt end though. It's like they randomly decided to end it one day and just threw a chapter together.
The main issue gets resolved but a lot of smaller ones (mainly to do with side characters) never do. So the rushed ending mixed with open strings kinda puts a damper on the series overall.

Boring

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

The setup is kinda stupid and just convenient for the plot with no direction. There's no real conflict and the story is left without logic and any flow. The characters have no depth at all and also don't really interact with each other. It's not completely unenjoyable but you wouldn't miss out on anything.
