Lookism - A possible bromance brewing



Lately I have been obsessing over a manhwa about a bullied-turned-into-hottie or should we say he got himself a body double, literally. He can't explain and doesn't understand how it'd happened so we'll leave it at that. But the thing is his new body that he can switch into whenever his original body falls asleep, is a fucking GOD. It is pictured as an almighty beauty that can cause havoc anywhere he goes, and it's true, he somehow manages to capture the attention of anyone which is good and bad.

The manhwa's story line is one of a kind, different to any I have read and a good character development. Bullies are common in manga and manhwa but this manhwa was able to turn such a serious topic to a light-hearted read. I have since grown tired of reading tragic stories and needed a break from dark themed books, my heart could only take few. I could write a long ass blogpost about this manhwa but I won't because it isn't BL related and this blog is solely for my love for man-to-man action.  Anyway, I recommend this to anyone and I mean EVERYONE.

I got a little side tracked and forgot what I was originally planning to write about, well let me introduce to you my favourite character from the manhwa, Ja Yeol.
His character is the guy who seats at the back of the room with no care in the world not until our boytoy, Hyungsuk, shook his world! Yes, yes, yes! I am feeling the tension from his body and the interest he has for this new face, but it seemed to be one sided. He is not very good with his words and can only manage a couple of written words and a nod whenever he's being spoken to. But there's a catch, his background is a mystery, he lives in what seemed to me is an expensive condo unit,  he has abundance of money to try to buy hyungsuk off an auction which he wasn't allowed to. He also gave him "moon balloon" amounting to almost $10000 and to top all that he gave him bags and bags of designer clothes and shoes for his birthday. Where could you be getting all these money from Jayeol? But the thing I am most curious about is whether you have a thing for hyungsuk. Always tailing him, showering him gifts, looking at him from far away and having his back in times of trouble, that may be a normal thing for people who have strong friendship but Jayeol's character is distant, cold and indifferent, he is not someone who would take a punch for another person but when it comes to hyungsuk who he barely knows and exchange a few words with is something uncommon. So let me drown in my fantasies that my Jayeol is indeed into Hyungsuk.
