User Comments [ Order by usefulness ]So Good  by branching_mechanism5 months agoRating: N/A

I get teary every time I reread this. They seem like such an unlikely pair, but the way their relationship progresses is so emotionally subtle. Some stories have the characters constantly declaring their love for each other very loudly without really showing us why they like that other person specifically. It just tends to be “They’re hot and nice and I’m in love.” For these two, the gradual softening towards each other and the reasons why they’re drawn to each other (Yuri to Seonwoo because he’s starved for affection and Seonwoo is the type to keep offering gentle compassion even when Yuri acts like an asshole, and Seonwoo to Yuri because Yuri becomes so straightforwardly—albeit belligerently—on Seonwoo’s side, which must have seemed like an anchor after being let down by his coworkers/the educational system and being left behind by Jungho) are believable and specific to who they are as people. You couldn’t just swap a random hot, nice person into the relationship. Overall a truly heartfelt and poignant portrait of two people finding solace in each other with all their neuroses and dysfunction, ending up happy but far from perfect (and pretty far from healthy lol).

Was this comment useful?  Yes   No     Intense, complex characters; morally grey conflicts.  by x.shark.x5 months agoRating: 7.5  / 10.0

Flawed characters with a semi-toxic relationship. Realistic and messy plot. Psychological slow-burn that requires reading-in-between-the-lines. Important themes are portrayed intensely. Sombre atmosphere. Relationships are not to be underestimated. Morally grey conflict and solutions. Thoughtful character development. My favourite is Seonwoo. Presents a mandatory ensemble of mixed emotions. Recommended for those looking for a serious and multi-layered story.

Another dramatic unrealistic ott work of Korea 😂 This author have a talent to made all her character unlikable, I read both of her works and I'm amazed how there is not even ONE likable character 😩 I forced myself to end their previous work and I tried so hard to read this nonsense too but I just can't do it anymore after reading 35 chapter, it's basically a torture and making my anxiety go up to sky so yeah fvck it , especially two leads here , sorry but I find both of them crazy disgusting, unlikable and so ott so I dropped it.

I can’t do this, I see rape I leave. It’s disgusting as it is. I always have people argue it ain’t rape well NEW FLASH there’s different types of rape. And sadly this one falls under one of the categories.

Guys he's so big of an ass that he doesn't feel sorry AT ALL. BRO JUST MOVES ON AND DOESNT GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT.. AND HES GOT ATTITUDE PROBLEMS 💀💀 wait guys ain't no way he literally just tried to justify himself by saying “ it didn't seem like you didn't like it" MY MAN THE UKE WAS LITERALLY CRYING.

Guys it’s totally not rape just because 1.The partner never consented 2. He is literally crying 3. He looks like he is ill 4. You know he hates it. Because you know he totally is finding pleasure in it (this is sarcasm/chapt 15 )

Anyways, If you're a big fan of “The shape of Your Love”, which shares the same universe as this, then skip to chapter 16 to see yohan and moogyeong finally doing it. Read on 🥭go for the full uncensored version!

Too much drama and I found myself complaining about that a lot, but I just realized how it's so reality-based and kept reading without stop anyway.

I'm not going to finish this.

The Shape of Your Love was like a breath of fresh air for me. I am tired of reading the same stories over and over again. You know... stories where one mc is abusive, and the other is a doormat. Sounds familiar? I had high expectations for this story. First, I thought artist worked with a different author this time. What a letdown! I can't see any reedeming qualities Yuri has that would make up for his awful character, except his looks maybe. Why anyone puts up with him is a mystery to me.

Art is gorgeous, but the other similar stories like this have great art too. Great art alone doesn't make great stories.

Was this comment useful?  Yes   No     Not usually a fan of this much angst, but damn it was done so well  by Pompina Q1 year agoRating: 10.0  / 10.0

Let me start by saying I read “the shape of your love” first as it’s the main story and I really liked it. When I saw the spinoff came out in the same universe with some of the side characters I was interested, the art style is really nice as well.

I’m not a huge fan of stories with heavy levels of angst, so, at one point in the story, I started, contemplating dropping it, and just binging it once it was done. I am happy I stuck through. I didn’t expect to like this story as much as I ended up liking it…

I actually like this story more than “the shape of your love”. I think this was just a personal preference because high school was a long time ago for me…lol so this story was more relatable as it takes place a few years after the ML graduates from high school. Also, it’s not necessary to have read “the shape of your love“, to understand this story they could be read completely separately, although having read “the shape of your love”, first give some context to the story background.

The struggles that the main CP for this story go through and the character growth that both the ML and the MC go through are written really well, and even though they’re going each individually through their own trauma, and growing together, you do really root for them to succeed, individually, and hopefully together.

There is a HE and it’s definitely worth reading to get to.

Yuri is so cute! <3 But also crazy

When I first started this, I wasn't really enjoying it as much as FYL. However, once I got to the halfway mark I could not put it down.

It is so damn angsty, all the way through. And the story seemed very real, with mature themes such alcoholism, depression (which is done so well), child abuse, bullying, and a corrupt school system that never really get fully resolved. That's life for ya.

Yuri becomes a codependent little nerve ball and baby needs some help with it. I'm a little worried about Jiri's future.

... Last updated 1 year agoWas this comment useful?  Yes   No     Angst and angst and...more angst. When are they going to be a happy couple?  by mimi2012 years agoRating: 9.3  / 10.0

The angst really drags on and on....

This is the type of story that does not include many romantic or happy moments, in fact there are so many angst moments (there's a lot of issues between the two main MC's) that I'm going to put this on hold for now.....

The good: Art is great. Interesting premise. Panel compositions are great. The writing/dialogue is great. Check out the story on Manta! (too bad its R15).

I keep asking, when is the angst going to end so that they can be a happy, lovey dovey couple? However, it seems that the author wants to portray a non-conventional relationship so I doubt we will get that type of couple in the future. NOT ANYTIME SOON. I'm suprised its a completed series....(main story is done) but the author decided to keep....updating the series with side stories....the side stories should have just been part of the main series. Give me happy side stories, damn it!!
