Business Performance

Description

The boy-band-turned-writer, Lin, receives an offer to have his book turned into a film from Yeon Seoho, a former fellow band member. Lin declines at first, but decides to leave it to a bet. If Seoho can satisfy him on 5 dates, then he'd give the permission. And so, a business arrangement begins between the two with the bet depending on Seoho's performance.

Terrible until so far (ep16)

Rating: N/A

I read this webtoon twice until ep16 since the art was interesting. So much for the good part. There are two couples and the author is switching constantly between those often at the most stupid times. The story continues once in a crucial scene one week later. That’s not a cliffhanger, that kills the whole arc of suspense!
Furthermore what throws me off is it contains rape scenes and without any trigger warnings! And to top it off another victim of this incident

the boyfriend of the victim who wasn’t told anything, but got dragged into this by the consequences gets blackmailed.
The story itself has many problems: Very inconsistent drawings (with bandages, without and on the next panel again with), hops between the past ten years ago and the present, but the character’s appearance looks exactly the same, so there is no way of telling what happened when. There are also scenes that only take place in the head of one character, but it is very hard to tell e.g. ! the rape scene in episode 13

There is also the problem of time inconsistencies

(two of the same boy group know each other since ten years. One of them is the youngest of the group, but the the other two from the side couple know each other only since six years - what?

The main character‘s actions are not reasonable

if he has a crush on Seoho since ten years why is he so mean to him ALL THE TIME, telling absolute unnecessary lies to his face, showing, etc.

And lastly the in BL ever so often used „let’s never ever talk about problems, but run from a good conversation at all costs“ is the basis of the whole story. Big indicator of the author’s incompetence or laziness.
To summarize: Do not recommend to read!

terrible... many unanswered questions! The main couple and the secondary couple were all one or two chapters in rotation, so you couldn't get used to any character. The author should have focused on just a few and fleshed out the second pair in a side story. So both stories are way too short and muddled.
------ The art design was the best part of the story. ------

Very medioker

Not sure how I finished it but don't ever want to read it again. Story focuses on two main couples as it switches between them very often, sadly when something interesting is happening in one relationship the story focuses on the other couple when nothing serious is happening so just have to skim to the interesting bits likely missing some plot, although the story itself isnt that great either.
The reasoning for certain actions is just confusing and when everything is resolved it happens waaay too quick as the story moves on to either s*x or the other couple like nothing previously happened.
just kept getting frustrated and annoyed by it, not worth the read as it only focuses on the couple relationships and nothing else. Art is the main benefit and if you want a lot of sex then you'll like it, just don't get invested in the story.
