Dandellionđ with his tutor theoâ
I just finished catching up the recent chapter of Kingâs Maker đŠit was so gooddd looking forward to the next chapter đ
Omg I need the official physical books đđđđ*prays* so I can read it all the time đđđ
Oh yeah, I just started huevemberđ I wonder if Iâll able to catch up
Whether you read manhwa or not, it is a good read!
Let me start with that
It discusses rape and pedophilia and why it is extremely horrible
It discusses abuse of power
It discusses the qualities of a good leader
It discusses what kind of people form a good government
It discusses the trauma that wars cause to children
It discusses poverty
It shows bad parenting
It shows that being clever and having a good heart pays off
It shows good parenting
It shows love is slow and progressing, and it is built in trust
When I found the manhwa, I thought it was the typical boysâ love fluff. It was much greater than that! It touched my heart and my soul! The storyline was insane and compelling, and the art was just magical.
Well, the main story of Baker on the First Floor ended this past weekend.
Is anyone else as emotional as I was?
I dropped off for a few weeks, Iâm so deep into a couple other comics at the moment, but the last four weeks or so? It came back strong and gave more than I was prepared for. Feels.
Final thoughts under the cut...spoilers abound!
Actual real tears were running down my cheeks during the reunion scene. Iâm so proud of both of them for being able to move past the comparisons they were projecting on one another.
Especially Sun Hwa. The moment he walked away from Jin Kyo was so empowering, more so given how vulnerable he was at the time. However dysfunctional, Jin Kyo carried something for him. It wasnât simply walking away from a person who didnât care about him anymore.
Although itâs sad that they were apart for two years (I was not expecting that time skip JFC), he finally was able to take control of his life, flourish even. It made the moment they were reunited all the more sweet.
We finally learned Goong Haâs sisterâs name! Moo Hee. I like to think that she regretted essentially breaking up their relationship, and facilitating Goongâs meeting with You Jin was her way of trying to make amends.Â
Possibly because she came to terms with her own sexuality (that gave me a giggle at the end)?
Also glad she was able to take the helm of their families company. She was the capable of the two, and the one who valued the position the most. Fuck sexism.
There was truth to what she said about the connection between Sun Hwa and You Jin, and although it wasnât right how it was brought to light, it would have been a detriment to their relationship had it not. It wasnât until Goong Ha lost the one he loved that he really had to face it.Â
Aaand, Iâm emotional again.Â
A final note. I donât know how it measures up to current Korean culture, but I was pleased to see their relationship be somewhat publicly accepted at the end. Generally speaking, I like how BOTFF acknowledged the scrutiny that these LGBT characterâs can face.
Well, next week is post script!Â

This comic wasnât what I was expecting at all. It carried an emotional weight that made the story fulfilling and well worthwhile. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!
