I thought this would be a silly little manhwa, turns out it was SO ANGSTY AND MADE ME CRY IN FRUSTRATION. First off, the translation was pretty good, the first 97/105 chapters were available so it was very easy to read. The last few chapters though I had to find it on ridibooks and read it using Google Translate and that was DIFFICULT lmao. But regardless this was really good.The manhwa does miss a lot of things that the novel has. I didn't finish the manhwa but I did finish the novel and I really liked it!! Along with the transmigration plot, there is also a lot of cooking. It was a good surprise tbh, there were lots of details about Jaewoo's cooking and his recipes. The beginning was pretty easy to understand as well, even though its the classic isekai trope, it was enjoyable because it was more than that. Jaewoo was a really enjoyable character. He was a genuinely good person and he really cared for Hyeonjin and his two younger brothers. Speaking of the two younger brothers, THEY'RE SO CUTE. They were adorable and so understanding of Hyeonjin and the sacrifices they made for him. The little scene where they were getting bullied but they told Hyeonjin everything was alright so he wouldn't be even more stressed made me SO SAD. I loved Hyeonjin's character and his inner conflict as he started to fall in love with Jaewoo even though he did like a complete 180. I actually liked Mujin tbh. NOT ENOUGH TO GET SECOND LEAD SYNDROME THOUGH. I don't get how people wanted Jaewoo to be with Mujin, like dude choked him out on their first meeting?? I did like how Mujin realized that he loved him, it was really sweet to see. Even if I didn't want them to be together. JAEWOO AND HYEONJIN R PERFECT FOR EACHOTHER IDC IDC. I really liked the angst near the end as well and the slow romance progression.Something I really liked about this book is that there isn't any smut scenes. I find it difficult to really connect with BL books because it seems like most of the time its just smut with an addition of plot sometimes. Its pretty fetishy and just uncomfortable to read. But this was just sweet and a progression of their feelings towards each other. The ending sort of arc was pretty confusing though. I don't understand the third male lead and his sister. If she wanted to get rid of Jaewoo she should've just sent him to the other world and not try to keep him in his original world?? I dont know. But regardless it ended on a sweet note and I enjoyed reading this!
