okay, first things first, i REALLY liked this manhwa, i cried 3 times, i was really involved (my pfp is literally dooshik, the main character) and i really love the romance between jooha and dooshik, only it's not so innocent..

It's an amazing and unique story with a lot of steamy scenes. The artwork is absolutely stunning.
The characters are well-crafted, and there's some character development, though it could be more.
The funny moments at the start are fantastic! But as the story progresses, it becomes more intense.
There are some misunderstandings that make things stressful, but the communication between the characters is good, so it's not too nerve-wracking.
However, ... it's not for everyone, as there are some disturbing scenes. If you're looking for a fluffy, cute manhwa, this isn't it.
There's a lot of sexual abuse and exploitation, which can be triggering.
The villain is a well-written psychopath, and you'll grow to hate him more with each chapter.
The ending left me a bit unsatisfied, especially because I'm not a fan of open endings or how Doosik behaved.
Proceed with caution and be prepared for some heavy content
(A LOT of smut btw)

Pearl Boy is frustrating because it gave me blue balls and the ending pissed me the fuck off.

The last season is full of constant whiplash moments, it keeps getting darker and darker until it feels like you missed a chapter somewhere because how tf did we get to this point. Why is this a action series now, I thought this was a drama?

Most of the side characters that were prominent at during S1 and S2 get completely shoved to the side or their little subplots just seem to have been forgotten. SPEAKING OF FORGETTING, wtf happened to Dooshik midway through??? Again it feels like I ... missed a chapter somewhere, somewhere at the start of S2 he just like completely changes in almost every single way. His design, his personality, his reason for going to the countryside, it's all completely different.

My mind couldn't catch up with what the fuck was even happening anymore.

The sex scenes are ok, like they're fine I guess. They're not bad but not amazing or anything. Towards S3 we get a TON of scenes of the main pair fucking but it's usually always in the same way, and I just do not fucking like the designs so I can't get into it. The panty chapter was neat tho gotta say.

Last point, the designs. I do not like them. This is purely out of preference, my opinion is not law.

I just...I just do not like the lips.
