Playtime with Hakdo

Description

Sangho’s deadline for his PhD thesis is looming near and his future is looking murky. The highlight of his day is smoking on the rooftop of his school building, where, for a few blissful minutes, he can forget about his troubles. But his precious cigarette break is ruined one day by a guy named Hakdo and his bawling ex-boyfriend (who also happens to be Sangho’s ex-ex-ex-boyfriend). What’s more, Sangho later learns that he and Hakdo have not one but many exes in common. This gets them talking and the two agree to have some fun, casual sex. But little does Sangho know that Hakdo’s idea of fun is very different from his...

wholesome with minimal drama

by twentydimes

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

this definitely stands out from a lot of the bl stories i've read. the main couple is sweet, their relationship is portrayed realistically and full of consent and fun. despite being a love square, it was nice to see the MCs make peace with their previous romances and support each other. the side characters brought complexity to the story but not so much as to misdirect the narrative from the main couple's story. i wasn't used to seeing this type of art style but it grew on me and it worked well for the story. i only wish we could've seen hakdo's feelings explored more and the lack of side stories didn't help with that. i recommend this if you're looking for a sweet, fluffy, no-brainer type of story.

Almost felt like this is a Bara rather than Yaoi

by fufuchitzu

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I went into this because i saw it as a meme reaction. 0 expectations or willingness to start it immediately. However, I was wrong. The story felt like what a real life couple would experience. This is no BJ Alex or CBAW it's on a league of its own. If you're still looking for that Yaoi that might make your heart skip a beat this may not be for you. For once thisis the yaoi/bara that has put emphasis on slice of life genre since everything felt all too real/raw. It's what you would read if you need a palate cleanser or a breath of fresh air. The characters were honest and some scenes or conversations I could see happen in real life.

Despite that one review that says it's boring give this a shot. I didn't stop reading this once I got into it. For once I was sure i'd give this one a sure fire 10/10

Edit: my fave character is the bartender 🙂)

LOVED IT! Realistic, Healthy and Sweet

by Sunfae

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I really loved this! THIS IS fresh air. The communication, the transparency, the honesty and the maturity portrayed on this story are usually pretty lacking in manhwas. No unnecessary drama and misunderstandings, the focus on showing the communication, honesty and understanding in the relationship is new and amazing. I enjoyed reading this so much that I didn't even realize I finished it. I also loved how the author showed us a lot of the character's inner thoughts and thought process, and I understand the lack of that for Hakdo as this story is meant to be from Sangho's perspective I guess... Will definitely read again.

Awesome Love Story of an Average LGBT

by SmexyBL

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I can only echo the praises others have brought in. This comic sincerely encapsulates the minuscule worries of everyday dating and flings with some slight relationship stressors. Ordinary life can be boring, but I feel like this one highlights a few bright moments in Sangho's.

There's no overly dramatic hidden information or intricately woven plots made by villainous interlopers. This comic reflects the cute, sweet, adorable, and fun developments of a relationship that starts with zero expectations. It helps that there's nothing in the realm of severe bigotry reflected here, so it's easy to focus on the character's inner development without it hinging on some outside force. Being LGBT isn't always a walk in the park, even with accepting individuals around. I think how the author showed Sangho and Hakdo expressing their identity was extremely relateable, here, and was a big appeal factor.

This isn't a drama packed comic, but the boys are sexy and their relationship is a fluffy, quasi-realistic ride. That's what made this one an awesome read.

Very sweet

I loved that the characters looked like normal people for once! Normal people in a typical LGBT relationship. No cookie cutter model like perfection or anything which made it really wholesome

I dont know what manhwa read the other comment, but this manhwa is good. AM tried to portrait normal lifes, if thats boring for you, sorry, but itrs good. A plus in the story is that is a versatil couple heheh. The art is just so good. First read it, if you dont like the type of story, dont leave a bad comment, if its not your style, its nor the manhwa's fault.

Nothing good to say, except for the character design of Hakdo

by liontaraki

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

The most boring manga I have read in a long time. Since I want to finish any manga that I start reading, as I was reading it, I felt that I much rather do something else, like working, than to continue this story. The only reason I continued was that Hakdo looked like a character drawn by Yuka Nitta, my favourite mangaka. The story was weird, made no sense, the characters were boring, especially Sangho was irritating, this had no reason to be here, to exist. I am writing this comment feeling very frustrated actually. I wasted my time. Skip this story completely, if you can.
