the infamous OWO?? HOT CHOCO?? webtoon. I've actually been a fan of this artist since his BTS fanart days, and that's really the only driving motivation I've ever had to interact with Boyfriends. I like slice of life but this is a fail imo. this also suffers in my opinion from "telling and not showing" a lot. These characters have hobbies that are only off handedly mentioned and no character is ever solely focused on to develop some kind of inner/outer world,  their personalities barely corrospond to their stereotype designation (jock, nerd, prep, goth) and their interactions and reasons for romantic interest in each other are very superficial with little to no conflict. Really I just like this for the art.
