reader BL comics The novel may recognize the author’s name Heavy punch drunk love: Moscaretto Also the author recruitanother office romance. But the only thing the two stories have in common is the setting— recruit A lot of money was invested in the office life storyline, only to get into the sexy stuff later, Heavy punch drunk love It’s almost always porn. In these two volumes, Sun-woo and Tae-moon’s relationship is almost entirely based on sex, so if you’re looking for something to put the “nothing” into PWP, this is the series for you.
The titular story revolves around a relationship between two men that is built on equal parts sex and poor communication. The most disliked person in the office, Sun-woo is an accountant known for his absolute obsession with financial and expense accounts and his personality like a brick. While other more tolerant (or socially savvy) people wouldn’t push senior employees to correct “mistakes” like using a company card at a strip club, Seon-woo shows no mercy and pursues the villains to the point in Volume 2 We’re told he’s about to be moved to a busy job so he can no longer cause chaos within the office. But Sun-woo doesn’t care: his job is to keep the ship sailing without financial problems, and he’s going to do that job no matter what. He had been raised to believe unconditionally in two things: to do the right thing, and that he was an ordinary, boring person like everyone else.
Xuanyu fully accepts that there are actually some benefits to the latter. This doesn’t lower his opinion of himself in any way; it’s just like the color of his hair to him, and because of that, he feels like his kink is normal. These kinks are rough sex, and although he’s never really had any, he has thoroughly pleasured himself with his collection of dildos and other sex toys. The only problem is, he hasn’t figured out how to do that with a real penis attached to another man – and he believes his crush, Taiwen, is straight.
But lo and behold, one day, he discovered Thai on a queer dating app, and suddenly everything changed. Sun-woo believes he’s proposing a one-night stand to Tae-moon, but Tae-moon is dealing with the fallout of Sun-woo’s latest financial move, and he mistakenly believes he’s being blackmailed into performing sex acts. This initial misunderstanding shapes their relationship for most of the book’s pages, and much of the humor comes from them always having two different conversations without realizing it. For his part, Tae-moon is both angry at Sun-woo and worried that he’s actually hurt another man, while Sun-woo remains dazed and ultimately doesn’t know how to express his love to Tae-moon. They don’t really start to hear each other until towards the end of the second volume, and by then there’s still a lot of misunderstandings waiting, mostly on the Thai side.
In Volume 2, we learn that many of Tae-moon’s misunderstandings about Sun-woo come from his own life. He was the illegitimate son of the head of a powerful conglomerate, something he knew all his life and resented it as an adult. His father suddenly wants to bring Taiwen to his knees, but his thirty-something son suddenly has zero interest in continuing the family line. But more importantly, Tae-moon filters Sun-woo through his own family experiences: When Sun-woo calls him “average,” Tae-moon thinks his family undermines his self-esteem; Tae-moon thinks his family has destroyed his self-esteem; when Sun-woo seriously screws up his proposal, Tae-moon thinks he wants more than just sex because that’s how people behave. The reason it took them so long to actually connect was that Tae-won couldn’t really bring himself to believe that Sun-woo was really who he seemed: an awkward guy with bad taste in suits and a love of rough sex.
The suit is another key element of the story, a throwaway joke that continually proves to Tae-moon that Sun-woo is indeed who he says he is. Sun-woo has had limited social interactions in his life and is not very good at being a normal person, and he appears in front of Tai-wen multiple times wearing extremely bad outfits – crimson gown, snakeskin suit. Tae-win can’t believe someone would wear something like this, which triggers the need to help Sun-woo, much to the shock of both men. (Sun-woo was surprised, of course, because he didn’t notice anything wrong with his clothes; at one point, he was worried that Tae-moon was overdressed.) For Tae-moon, this was the first sign that he cared about Sun-woo, even If he couldn’t bring himself to admit it for many pages to come.
The men’s relationships weren’t particularly healthy, nor were they romantic in the traditional sense. They both come here with a lot of baggage, even if Sun-woo doesn’t recognize him, and it would take real effort for both of them to connect on anything other than a physical level. In fact, there is a good argument that these two volumes strictly about On a physical level, it only really shifts in the last few pages of the second book. Again, if you’re looking for basically uncensored content BL There’s no Omega Universe element to sex (usually glow stick penises being the only censorship), and this is a great place to find it.
Heavy punch drunk love Not the nicest Korean BL I’ve read it, but this is the most unapologetic. Its story takes a while to emerge, but to the brain, it’s indisputable. If you want a story, maybe look elsewhere (or the third volume, which won’t be out until June 2025), but for dudes crawling over each other, this is fine.
