Maybe I have read a manhwa unlike any other, seeing all the positive reviews this manhwa has received, but honestly this story has been mostly mediocre.

Story: the opening incipit was original and I was also enjoying how the story wanted to develop the relationships between the various characters, but the more you go on the more this story falls into mediocrity, many things are not explained, others that happen are totally absurd , some subplots are never filmed again, and also the final part was very heavy to read because the staging of the events was really ridiculous, started well but ended badly

Art: one of the positive things about this manhwa is his very well done artistic style, the character design I like, the colors are very well suited to the storytelling, I would say good from this point of view

Characters: let's say that a good part of them are characterized well, while the others they have been treated quite badly.
Noe: I liked his past, and his way of behaving but it doesn't really stand out as a protagonist
Nayeon: At first it seemed interesting, but then it turned out to be very flat and quite useless
Sojoong: I really liked him as a character, very cynical, manipulative and at the same time he knows how to assert himself
Taehoon: at first he was interesting too, but then he really falls into mediocrity, I never really understood his relationship with Sojoong, too bad

Smut: a bit of a disappointment, at first it was fun to see the various scenes of this type, but after a while they start to be heavy and annoying with the development of the story, again a pity

Conclusion: well it was a disappointment, I was hoping to find myself in front of a well-made manhwa, and at the beginning it was like that, but in the end you realize that everything was written in a bad way. If you want to try to read it, take a seat, but know that there is much better out there.

WHAT!?!

Okay first of all, it was great I loved the characters (especially So Joong) I like how the story went from fun and games to having to sue and take down a very powerful family. I was worried how bad the s*x scenes were going to be and although the idea of r*** is bad they didn't go too far with it in my opinion and luckily know got terribly hurt during those moments as the only times I remember people bleeding was during an actual fight. There was also loads of cute scenes with all the different characters that I loved. I hate everyone in Noah's family (except for him) I love all the other main characters. However is this really the end or is the author taking a break because this can't be the end!?!

Overall: Love it

Okay, this is a damn long manga and some parts are really brutal to see for me. At first, it was interesting like how the two main characters meet and the development of the main character. However, after that, it became a bit too much like they focus on other characters and become a bit complicated and confusing. Overall, the story makes you wanna read more and each character is unique so give it a try.

Totally would recommend, one of the best stories of its genre! The concept of Peach Puff is hella steamy. Like... OUUUUUUUh that's really really good. You just have to read the first few chapters to know what I'm talking about.

Although i could undestand the disappointment of the other reviewers... They probably just came for smut but ended up reading about a complete mindgame, and a tragedy about sexual abuse. Some parts are pretty sad and the "villains" are just fucked up... The story of Noah is really heartbreaking but I still enjoyed it very much. 

Each character has a lot of depth, they have background stories that you would not expect comming from a smut manhwa. Even if the villains are the type you would want to smack, the rest of the characters are soooo lovely. You explore a lot of different themes here: being transgender, homosexuality, sexual abuse, sex traffic, lewd fantasies, etc.

Oh, and I also really thank the author for never normalizing rape. since one of the themes is sexual abuse, there is rape, but they never make it look like it's a good thing. I'ts always condemned and seen as twisted, as it should. 

As I said before, I really enjoyed the concept of Peach Puff. The members could participate in all kind of s*x "games" but it was always safe. It feels nice reading smut without constantly feeling itchy about the lack of consent and the disrespectful position they tend to put women in.

Honnestly, it's one of the best smuts i've ever read, please give it a try, you won't regret it ! I'm personnaly disappointed I didn't discover it earlier.
