Ahjuicy (seme) really is fine until the end. Older guys have this inexplainable sexiness to them especially in fiction like this! I really love everything about this story. Especially the point of views of both characters. I don’t think I need to talk much about this story since for sure, I’ll always remember them. Definitely worth the read and re-reading! The art is good, especially the subtle blush they put on Ahjuicy since not all guys blush too much.

This starts with a classical trope of giant quiet gangster vs pitiful but bright little thing, with a gap in age and in socioeconomic standing. This isn't my favourite trope, because it usually goes in pair with dub-con or non-con, but it really develops the characters well and beyond the trope's expectations. The characters' depth, how they are fleshed, their multidimensional personality shows the author's skills.
I've personally liked the 3rd season better than the 2nd one, but I guess it's about personal taste.
I found myself reading parts of it again, much to my suprise because I really like the story.

The author also have a detailed vision of the settings, and it brings out the story even better. The pacing, the POVs, the framing angle are impeccable. There's also some frames that comes on parallel to eachother which show the author's skills level.

I almost gave up in the beginning and I'm happy that I trusted the good comments. The first part make me a little tired of the "good and naive protagonist" (maybe I read too much of this genre + gangstas/no gangsta couple). And I was expecting that it turned into a more tragically story tropo, or the protagonist never shine. It surprise me for good and the time between the second part and the final part made all the difference in my perception and how emotionally invested I became in the end.

I cannot believe I procrastinated in reading this for a couple of months! I absolutely ADORE this story (could have gladly done w/o the freakin' insane years long separation!!). Euijoon is the most adorable ever and Geonwoo is a perfect match all rough, blunt as hell and heartstoppingly sincere for the SugarSweet Euijoon!🥰🥰 No lie I could re-read it right now (just finished the final chapter less than 10 minutes ago)!

I was hoping that at some point Gunwoo would open up and be honest about himself, but I feel like they kept him from doing so just to prolong the story.. Which was fine until I got to the end of the story and there was still minimal conversation between the two about his life. It's shown to the reader as a flashback, but pretty much no progress between the characters themselves occurred. Also, the art was kind of bad.. especially couldn't get over the long neck issue.

I liked this story in the beginning. Ahjussi isn't your typical seme; he is supportive of Euijoon making his own decisions and he isn't pushy either. This is one of the very few yaoi stories where the mcs don't start off with a toxic relationship that gets better. It's all mostly on Euijoon's indecision and hesitance that they aren't progressing. I say mostly because Ahjussi's secrets that he refused to divulge at the beginning were still too big to wave with a hand.

That said, I feel like this story could've and should've ended sooner, even before ch70. After ch76 it just felt draggy and boring because technically all of the story conflicts are over by then. The denouement took too long so by the time the ending came I was really just relieved. These things didn't need spelling out, nor did we need the extra sex scenes that came after. We get it, they woohoo-ed but with love this time and lived happily ever after.

So yeah, I would've enjoyed this better if the ending didn't drag on. Because of that, I wouldn't give it too high of a score.

I gotta admit that I was avoiding this story for a long time because I though that the age difference would trigger something very unpleasant in me. However, that was not the case! This manhwa was able to portray a relationship between a couple with a +10 year gap without making it terrible weird. And no, the younger one did not met the older guy when he was underage or under some sort of pressure circumstances. They have a relationship pretty smooth and cute (although the comic is plagued with good smut also lol) that I loved very much.
My only complaint would be the last season, with some parts that I did not particularly enjoy it how they were developed although I may understand them more or less.
Don’t miss this story and read when you have a moment!

Though I probably won't reread it again, I was always looking forward to every next chapter, because you really want this couple to get together and have their happy end. Though the seme is not unproblematic, their dynamics work really well together, especially the MC is decisive enough to end it when it's necessary but follow his heart when it's warranted. There's always a bit of drama, but they communicate it clearly in the end. Both the uke AND the seme. The few side-characters rounded up their dynamic and the symbolisms through the story were very sweet.

The relationship between the two main characters is so good. I love this story.

This story was one of my favourites, Ahjussi such an unique seme, no noncons, just building a relationship step by step...
Unfortunately, of course...in season 2 a third party had to show up, obviously, it is sad that authors always use this toxic path to keep it rolling ... It was so good earlier, now....one star down...

Season 3 was totally unnecessary, author truly has no idea how to keep a consistent good story and...the most important, when to end the story. I'm truly disappointed, such a potential destroyed... Why this timeskip?! I really hate that, it's like taking away a few years of someone's life, pathetic and cheap move... Just to add some drama right away... It's very sad, in such cases it's obvious that author is focused only on earning money, not on the story to tell...series is dragged! Whole Ahjusshi's background...there is barely anything, totally not a well thought out story... EuiJoon in a relationship, 3 years later, even when Ahjusshi said he would wait this long for him...EuiJoon couldn't do the same...
And here it's like a Season 1 replay, EuiJoon (a very irrational, ooc, and obviously made up to drag the story on) rejects Ahjushi who is trying to win his heart...and that cheating on his current boyfriend, no matter how rude he was, that was pathetic...
Because of all these toxic series everywhere, people have lost their judgment about what is really good, now they are able to enjoy any series as long as there is no huge toxicity in the relationship...
This series should have ended a long time ago... and unfortunately such dragged ending leaves this unpleasant feeling and ruins the whole series...
