MC is not a home wrecker. MC is not a home wrecker. MC is not a home wrecker.

ok? Right.

6/5. 6th star for it's generous internationalism.

... more>> A brilliant danmei. One of the best things is its internationalism. It celebrates several countries. This is the first international slice-of-life I've read. MC, ML are in their 30s.

It would have been great if there was more French, German, Chinese words (and English translation) to showcase how international MC, ML and their circle is.

The happy ending is around c50. The more realistic ending is c102.

ML's pov is after the main story ends. <<less

Since the previous reviewer dropped such a bombshell like "homewrecker" (a disgusting term used to in the past to denigrate people who aren't the married party in a cheating relationship), I decided to read this and see how it goes.

If you're worried about Seo-jin coming between Jae-yi and his fiance, then...

Don't be. All the ambiguous behavior occurs on Jae-yi's side with Seo-jin trying his damndest to not cross a line. He succeeds, but I really started to dislike Jae-yi's intimate behavior with someone else when he has a fiance. Jae-yi even gets jealous of other people getting close to Seo-jin. The final plus is that Jae-yi does break things off with his fiance before getting truly intimate with Seo-jin

[collapse]

There's quite a bit of angst with the "will-they-won't-they" tug of war at first, but it wasn't bad.

Also, for future reference to other people out there, don't use the term "homewrecker." It takes two to tango, and the party that should be more at fault in this situation is the one already in a relationship. <<less

Okay, I enjoyed this: I like the writing, plot, characters somewhat, etc. The bromance was clear here that was endearing for until it lasted

the vibes gives movie scenes, that really immediately had me interested. The writing in a way is straightforward while giving details a story would, I love writing like that and this was exactly that. For a romance story it was interesting and not a drag that it goes into the whole pilot day-to-day stuff. It was also not exhausting to take it in all the sudden characters... more>> because it was short and simple. That part feels very unique to me personally.

the other review mentions how MC gives home wrecker vibes. My opinion on that is he doesn't, but he's immature. Author writes him as someone professional and levelheaded, but more than a few chapters or before a timeskip MC is saying something the opposite of that. It got frustrating honestly but was he a home wrecker?? No he's heartbroken and really liked his friend while trying to convince himself he's this well disciplined man which yes he may be externally but clearly not internally, what's frustrating about this is I'd rather have be written to know that but no, what's as bad as a guy who know he's tr*sh? Is a guy who thinks he's not but is. MC is not tr*sh though, just an example. Other characters like ML, his fiancé I like how they were written. I like how the drama was resolved between the three, I'm glad the writing didnt change even then. Apart from how MC becomes with ML he is a professional-sensible feel character with how he interacts with everyone else.

anyway I did enjoy this. I think the writing was what stuck out most. A movie-jorunal like style. <<less

I do enjoy this novel to an extent.

It's a bit early to give it a rating but I feel this does capture what a unrequited love feels like, realistically.

I do feel slightly unsettled however at Seo-jin's inner thoughts...

  • Knowing your friend is to be married, and yet the unspoken things he ruminates about is really something else.
It does feel uncomfortable at times, knowing the circumstances.

Seo-jin gives homewrecker vibes.

Spring of Romance is an excellent translator, and I've been enjoying this story so much more because of their skill. (I read it using Google translate from Ridibooks, but Google translate is clumsy, and it is sometimes unclear.). This translation is really great. I think the original author would be pleased! (Shhhh....I'll never tell!)

I'm really looking forward to the side stories--The last sentences on the last page of the last book are some of my favorites of anything I have ever read. Not just BL, not just Korean lit,... more>> but EVER. <<less

It's an interesting read. Interesting characters, especially the MC. I liked how he transformed, his growth and character's development nicely played out. Like a reviewer said, using the word homewrecker to describe MC is disgusting and unbefitting. Man even relocated to another continent after realising his feelings fgs. He still placed multiple boundaries in place. ML was even the one who came to meet him.

I like the intensity of their relationship. Although, how it all folded out could be termed complicated and conflicting, I can't particularly fault one person.
Spoiler

Probably ML but his obliviousness was his fault. It's just adulting things, doesn't have to be pleasant all time. I kinda feel bad for his ex even though she knew what was going to happen and I didn't understand their relationship much; it was out of place. But taking ML as someone who risks things and was quite lonely at that time, maybe it is quite understandable.

[collapse]

Their big fight was intense too, lol. I could understand both sides too.

Anyways, it was a nice read. Although, ML's pov was kinda boring than I expected it too, I skipped most of the last volume.

Ups to the translator too, it was an excellent translation 🙌

I'm so happy this is finally completely translated, thank you so much to the translators I was eaiting for a long time and it was worth the wait

I just love their love, if you like angst and novels that actually make you feel something while reading them then read this !

It was intense and realistic at the same time.

I cried a few times while reading it.

Not 5 stars because of a few things : ... more>>
Spoiler

I would have liked it more if the ML relationship with Gisela was explained more in depth because.. I dont know I mean, if he even considered marrying her, I would have liked to know why.. Did he actually love her but no so deeply? Or was he confused?, I dont know I think that part was very undetailed and to me it felt like something was missing ?

[collapse]

I have to admit I skipped the whole talk about planes tho too much technical stuff for my brain xd

Is MC a homewrecker?

Spoiler

nop MC isn't a homewrecker at least not in my opinion, because even Gisela knew about the feelings between the MC's, she knew it before they realized them, but she still decided to give it a go with ml.

So she was kinda of aware of what she was walking into.

So yeah Gisela was more of a homewrecker to me. It was not completelyher faulttho since ML gave it a try with her 😒

[collapse]

He?
Spoiler

yes it's HE

This novel truly captivated me (and it's a HE).

Told from the MC's perspective, the story follows someone who comes to realise they've fallen in love with their best friend of 15 years, just as their friend announces his engagement. The narrative explores the complex emotions and deep history between the MC and ML, unfolding slowly with carefully crafted time jumps and moments of reflection. The chemistry between the characters is electric, and the intimate scenes are steamy, detailed and are driven by the plot. The relationship's ups and downs, as... more>> well as the MC's journey feel incredibly raw and real.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed was the author's portrayal of the daily life of a pilot and the aviation industry. The fact that both MC and ML are of Korean and German descent adds a unique depth to the characters, and the author's understanding of different cultures and settings really brings the story to life. Events unfold across various locations (Korea, Germany, France, Italy, Singapore, Japan, the US,...) and the attention to detail in each setting is spot on, adding authenticity to the narrative and making it all the more immersive.

The pacing is deliberately slow, which allows the tension and emotions to build as the characters' relationship evolves. The story doesn't rush, and each moment is given room to breathe (the main development begins at around ch40). I especially enjoyed the portrayal of one-sided love - it made my heart itch, and I think I cried a few times. There's also a philosophical element to the work, reflecting on relationships, love, depths of connections and priorities in life.

Quotes that pulled on my heart stirngs:

"In X's narrative, I'll probably be remembered as just a passing figure. Because I'm no longer part of the conditions necessary for his happiness. We meet, brush past each other, and part ways repeatedly, each finding our own connections.

I thought that this scene resembled the atmosphere of this terminal. This is a place for departing to and arriving from very distant places. For some, it's a starting point, and for others, an endpoint." <<less
