First of all, the title is (thankfully) misleading! The name "All About Lust" refers to the beginning of both main relationships depicted in the manhwa. There's a misunderstanding that makes one or both parties to think it's just about sex, but they soon realize that's not the case at all.The manhwa is split into two seasons. Unlike in other webtoons, not all seasons are dedicated to one couple. There are two main couples, and each one of them takes the spotlight on one of the seasons.The first season centers around Wooseung and Sunjin. They confess their attraction for each other right off the bat and their relationship quickly develops into love. They're great at communicating with each other and their love is beautiful, funny, and realistic.The second season centers around Beomchul and Jaehee, who have a slow burn rivals-to-lovers dynamic. They go around in circles and struggle to figure out their feelings for each other. In my opinion, they're the true embodiment of the manhwa's title, All About Lust, since Wooseung and Sunjin make it clear that they really love each other very early on.All About Lust is a great depiction of healthy relationships, consent, and communication. There's no dragged out childish drama, toxic jealousy, nor any other stupid trope that fetishizes gay men. The manhwa is charming and down to earth, and my only criticism is that it's hard to feel interested in the cast's artistic endeavors, which in turn causes the reader to feel bored at times.

The title of this manhwa is a little misleading, as it really isn't "All About Lust." Sunjin thinks about Wooseung lustfully, which is where it comes from. The story follows these two for the first half, but for some reason switches the focus to the relationship between Beomchul and Jaehee. I don't understand why this was done, but it doesn't ruin the story. My only other complaint is that the story just begins so abruptly. Other than that, the story is quite good. The art in this manhwa is much more simple than you may see in other manhwas, but I think that's a good thing. Sometimes we just need some simplicity in the art and "All About Lust" delivers on that. All the characters have very nice developments throughout the entire story. Beomchul starts out extremely annoying, but he gets a bit better as the story progresses.  Overall, the story is actually two stories, which I didn't care for personally, the art style is quite simple, but doesn't take away from the experience at all, and characters develop quite nicely throughout the story. If you enjoy university stories and sunbae/hoobae stories, you will love "All About Lust."

Oh, did I enjoy this story. It is as funny as it is cute. Is a slice of life  for when you just want to read a good romace story but in a relaxing way with little to no drama. The characters are lovable, to the point where I wanted to see EVERYONES pov (I know is a BL but wanted to read a Junmi's  story too). Althought the tittles seems pretty agressive, the protagonist start the realtionship with conset and in a clear way. The relationships also don't seem to have any toxic/abusive traits to them which is something I really appreciate seeing in BL since is, sadly, kinda rare to find. The art style is also pretty unique, I also loved how they used the red tones to signify lust. And to top it all off, the second story being a little bit intertwined with the first story is just the cherry on top of the cake for me. Really recomend this manhwa!
