Wait they're so bbygirl

WE HIT DOMESTIC LIFE OMGGGGGGG.

I thought this was just gonna be toxic slop from the beginnings where "oh, he's not that bad, he can be fixed!" and low-key that was the vibe at first. But honestly, I don't think Daehyung showed any super awful tendencies.

Yiyoung is just a standard issue twink who is very young (he's 20) and homosexual and we love a self-aware king. He's so silly and goofy, but so earnest and hard-working (especially on Daehyung lololol, emphasis on the HARD)

On this note, I'm not super enthusiastic about enormous schlongs in manhwa and Daehyung does have a whopper of a peen.

I think the romance sorta came out of nowhere, but the development was so fun to watch, even though the miscommunications were a bit sad to watch. The fantasies and suppositions of the various characters was an interesting decision that kept my interest.

Oh and the smut was top-notch, we hit so many kinks here in a very sexy and cute way that put a proper emphasis on consent... barring the first time, I think?

Business daddy x Immature college kid

by TheOneWhoGotAway

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

Ok I like it. Kang Daehyung is dadddyyyyy. Yiyoung is immature but their relationship works out. Some parts are yaoi magic like how kang only used to date older women and suddenly fell for the young college kid. That was a complete 180 on his preference.

Honestly this gets so good once the main couple resolve the misunderstanding between them that happens at the start 😭😭😭 please I nearly dropped this manhwa after seeing the ML act like a prick but he actually owns up to his mistakes and gets some real character development. He’s not my favourite BL ML, but he’s alr. He does however shine when it comes to talking dirty and taking the lead. MY GODDD THE SMUT IN THIS IS CRAZY GUYS 🙈🙈🙈 I love how ML reassured MC that it’s okay to have various kinks and fetishes, and that they should be honest with each other about what they want to try. MC is also adorable. He makes me feel a lot of second hand embarrassment, but he’s such a cute little puppy 😭 and this man knows what he wants and goes for it 🙈🙈

And Oh my gosh, I loved the art so much!! The side characters all had varying body types! And the whole thing was low-key feminist with all the programmers being women and SJ being woman started, owned, and operated! I loved the story too, it was so fluffy! But it's the art, the setting, and the side characters that made this special. Especially my lesbian girl, Cha! She's the best!!

Fluffy office romance

by CCheshire
2 years ago

Rating: N/A

It's a short fluffy read with a true green flag LI which is nice in the ocean of problematic series. I feel like there are fewer misunderstanding issues and it's resolved p fast compared to other works which is great. Although Yiyoung is a college student most of their interactions were at their company so it's closer to salaryman bl. The main couple falls in love pretty fast and the remainder is just their daily interactions which is nice.

I'm actually surprised it got a sequel since there's no real conflict in the webtoon beyond Kang's odd inferiority complex and age gap. Anyways, it reminds me of a cotton candy just light and sweet.

A sweet, gentle read - albeit predictable.

by Aoede

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I started this manhwa four or five times and walked away after a couple chapters because I didn't care for the art style. I'm glad I came back to it and gave it time to grow on me, as I found it to be one of the more enjoyable reads I've had in a long time. I also came to appreciate the comic book style art after some time too and I love how expressive the characters can be, especially Yiyoung.

To call the MC, Yiyoung, immature is a little off-base. He is young - in his early 20s and still a sophomore in college - and inexperienced. Rather than immature, a better way of putting it would be that he is very naive, as you would expect of someone that age and at that point in their life. He is adaptable, however, and when he notices his emotions getting out of control, frequently pivots and adjusts himself. These things aren't signs of immaturity. He is a pretty well written character that has some growth, especially in season 2. Our ML is mature and introspective, but also flawed in his own way and makes mistakes. Since he is older, naturally he is more mature but is quick to reflect on himself, leading to some decent communication and quicker resolution of problems. One of my biggest pet peeves with manhwa tends to be how long miscommunications, assumptions, and misunderstandings drag on and, pleasantly, this isn't the case here. It is a pretty sweet story that, while predictable, is a very easy read. These kinds of stories are perfect for in between some more serious or darker tones to lift up your mood and gently pass time. The uncensored version has some good smut too! Lots of affection, all consentual, but very little kink and/or dog blood if that's what you're looking for. This is a manhwa with broad appeal, so give it a chance!

Boring

by Fati1367

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

I tried so so so hard to read it many times but I can't, just bcz of Yiyoung character, he is so annoying and immature, it's so hard read his childish annoying ott narrative in his mind and oh god he talk a LOT and react so ott to everything, just too childish and immature 😩

the romance is so forced, it's not believable at all,like u can't even believe that director fall for that childish immature irresponsible dumb kid. Zero chemistry , it's funny how the director and secretary Cha have better chemistry than the director and that annoying childish horny guy lol

The art and that badass smart funny secretary Cha are the only good thing about it.
