NO SPOILER*

Someone else's BL, the description for this bl was very misleading. After I have read the whole thing it was nothing like I have imagined it would be like, so unexpectedly "GOOD". 

The story is very long and kind of complicated... You won't know what happened until you reach the last chapters to get the full understanding of the whole big story. But that doesn't mean it would be easy to give up on keep reading and get bored in the midway. The way the story evolves gradually, things will start to make sense as you keep reading. One intresting thing when reading this was that the same story is told from different prespectives and along the way there are new relationship developments, character developments and so on. The development of the characters' relationships was well illustrated. Overall, the story was like you being told the same story from different prespectives of characters which builds up a whole story, which was very intresting, like you are slowly bringing the small pieces of puzzle into one picture.  

Mentioning about the characters, they were relatively realistic, you can definitely notice some major character developments. As well as their relationships, complex. 

Now the good part: very romantic. This is a "lovey dovey couple(s)' story". That's the best phrase to summarize, I guess(?), with some complicated story that brings them together. 

I would recommend this to anyone who have time to read it in one-go. Once started you won't be able to stop!

I can see that the author and artist are detail-oriented by seeing how the emotions of each characters are well-described that I can relate to the pain that I have never experienced. From the manga, I learn that things that do not start out well may not necessarily have bad outcome. I learn that the encounter of our love one are not always as smooth as we thought to be. At the end of the day, the effort that we put into one to know them better and to accept them as they way they are that matters. I envy how the characters have someone else to rely on while they face endless obstacles and I hope to meet someone that I can totally rely on too just like the how the main character found his after being alone for years. After reading the manga, I couldn't help but to agree that fate is truly miraculous. 

Recommend for: Those who like realistic yet idealistic story as well as character develpement bacause every character get their well deserved ending after learning to grow from the past.

Alert: The story is long and might be a little stressful.

I lowkey hate the description because barely anything about the story was about him cross-dressing or looking for love.

I love the story a lot, I love everything about Kyubin and Seungtaek's relationship and how they compromised for each other, their dynamic and how they act around each other made me cheer for them and scream at my poor phone for them to get together. I love Seunghee's growth throughout the chapters, how he was all by himself and hated everyone at the beginning and now he's more open and sociable (still an introvert but at least he socialised enough for him lmao). Suhyeok is a very interesting character I feel like idk I need more of him, and Inbeom, even though I hated him at the beginning the second time reading it I've grown fond of him and realised his importance in the story. 

Overall,, I think this is an underrated manhwa, it deserves so much love and made me feel very very yearn-y :')

The description is accurate but it doesn't cover the main things the author want to talk about. This is not focused on crossdressing and bl manhwa, but the title really living up to the whole story. I should say that the tags should include DRAMA (like 100% of this manhwa is full drama), amnesia and lgbt theme. If i want to depict this bl, it's actually a teenager issues with their family, grades, future, grooming, first love, dating, friends, meaning of sexual assault, and journey of finding themselves through sexuality and social life. U can't 100% hate each character in this story (except the groomer) because they are really a teenager. Everytime they did mistakes, u'll be reminded over and over again that they're teenager, that's why simple things can be so complicated. It is so good and realistic, and IN THE OTHER HAND, THE AUTHOR REALLY DID GREAT planning the stories, makes every character meet everyone, having personal beef with eachother through beginning so when things start to clear up we'll be once again remember the first gist of clue/story from 20~ chapters behind. The art is simple it suited best for this kind of story. Every character is pouring their heart out through a lot of square letterbox of manhwa so u sometimes feel what the character feels now/in the past, like anxious, angry, brokenhearted, confused, disappointed, sad, surprised etc. I'm a little bit hyperbole but this can be a guidebook through being a lgbtq, like what prohibited things to say to friend after badly coming out to their parents, how to handle a confession from a best friend and many more. DON'T WORRY GUYS AND WITH EVERY PAIN U GOT FROM READING, HANG IN THERE, EVERYONE'S GOT A GOOD ENDING AND WORKED EVERYTHING OUT IN THE END!!! (except the groomer, of course).

I was surprised by the story for this one because it wasn't as straight-forward as romances usually are. It keeps you questioning throughout it, who is the main character going to end up with? I wasn’t completely sure until probably near the end. It was an interesting story-telling technique, but even beyond that the relationships that do develop are all pretty cute, I thought. 

The characters are great, they’ve all got backstories that do a good job to explain their terrible behavior and/or attitudes, since all of the characters are very flawed but (for the most part) no one is black-and-white just an irredeemable bad guy. There’s a lot of character growth all around, I think.

Also as a side note [spoilers?] I felt really bad for Inbeom. He was a dick, particularly in middle school, but the poor guy was beaten way past what was necessary to the point of hospitalization and memory loss, yet he’s still repeatedly framed as the bad guy.
