The culprit who doomed Ewon to this life is none other than Jiho, Ewon's jealous ex who still burns at Ewon's infidelity. Their gang leader Mookyul, with movie-star good looks and the bizarre, drunken habit of biting people on the neck, takes a keen interest in his attractive new errand boy. Will Ewon be able to survive the violent underworld (not to mention the constant sexual harassment) he must endure as an underling of Mookyul? This funny, hip title by Hajin Yoo will thrill and amuse fans with plenty of intense shonen-ai action
TOTALLY CAPTIVATED VOLUME: 1
- SANDRA SCHOLES for Active Anime
Downtrodden Ewon Jung philosophises his life while working for a
suspicious office at the Saehan Credit Union rumoured to be where the
local mafia operate daily. Ewon sees those around him and keeps his
mind on his job while the ones above him order him around most of the
time to clean up and make cups of coffee.
Bringing them what they need, Ewon finds he is required at the office
anyway and those around him actually like the way he makes an iced
coffee, and other culinary activities, but these are not the only
errands he has to do, thanks to Jiho Shin, his former boyfriend
forcing him to work for a loan shark - Ewon has much more dangerous
errands to run these days.
Later after Jiho and Mookyul have arrived in the office, Ewon reflects
on his life as it was before when he and Jiho were a couple and very
much in love, yet Jiho was always the jealous type, shouting at him
for looking at other boys when Jiho felt he should be his only source
of affection. Offended at Ewon looking at other men, Jiho calls off
the relationship only to have endless calls and texts on his mobile.
When Jiho finally got back in touch with his former lover, he is
warned by Mookyul, Jiho's new lover that if he ever sees him again, it
will be the last time as he thinks he is stalking his lover.
But when Jiho helps him out by mentioning that Ewon can be tried out
as a general assistant at his office making use of him, he asks Ewon
if he will do it for him as he has been his lover before and thinks he
can manipulate him.
Thinking he should have just left Jiho alone and not thought about it
he actually agrees to be a mafia underling responsible for anything
and everything.
One day Ewon is advised by Mookyul to collect the cash and pay his
dues for the mafia family. If not – he will have to leave town.
A distraught Ewon is forced to wonder whether Jiho had him do this as
a form of harsh punishment for their failed relationship, or is there
love in the air for the young male after all?
Readers will love the thoughts that go on inside this boy's head as he
tries to rationalise what he does and thinks, and completely changes
his mind afterwards, thus getting him into much more trouble than he
thought was possible.
He wishes so much that he had apologised after the fight, and made
right things between them as he realises he did love him very much
during their short time together.
The story takes an interesting turn when Ewon goes on his errands for
cash back from the borrowers of the Saehan Credit Union, and finds
regular people much poorer than himself who are trying to make ends
meet.
Ewon in this goes through a dramatic change of personality after those
he tries to get money from make fun of him and think they can keep
telling him they cannot pay in time.
The artwork is sensual, the boys beautifully drawn, and their curves
emphasised in this first volume of a stunning work by Hajin Yoo.
The boys slanted and large eyes let the reader see how lovely they
really are - even Jiho who does look a little uke in this manga will
drive the pulse through the roof.
IN SUMMARY: Heart-racing romance, beautifully crafted and certainly
not to be missed.
It is a perfect Christmas present for any shonen-ai enthusiast.
How can there possibly be any question that Mookyul and the CEO are or at the very least, were lovers? It's made perfectly clear in Vol 1. Mookyul goes to see the CEO who's playing around with a golf club and golf ball. Mookyul says, and this is from the book, "Old man, I'm gonna go if you keep playing with the ball. Why waste time? Let's be real. All you can think about is rolling around naked in bed with me." Mookyul is sitting on the sofa and the CEO kneels between his legs with one knee pushed right up against Mookyul. This is the action of a lover, not a father to his son. The body language makes it perfectly clear. I think, at least after falling for Ewon, that Mookyul is trying to put distance between himself and the CEO, hense his invitation to Ewon to go shopping with them. Mookyul has proven time and again how sharp he is. He can't possibly be unaware of the tension and animosity between Ewon and the CEO. I think he's striving to balance things but I'm afraid it's not going to work. If the CEO wants Ewon out of Mookyul's life, he's going to do something underhanded to see that it happens and he'll do it in such a way that will make Ewon look bad so it'll be Mookyul himself who throws Ewon out. The CEO will also be careful to leave no trace that he had anything to do with it. The man didn't rise to the position he's in now by playing honest and fair and he's obviously not pleased by Mookyul's interest in Ewon. He also knows Mookyul well enough to know that ordering him to ditch Ewon won't work so he'll trick him into doing it. I don't have any inside information but this seems a very likely scenario to me, at least if I was writing it, LOL. Too, you know Mookyul dodges admitting to Ewon his personal involvement with the CEO. This is definitely going to come back to bite either him or Ewon on the butt. It's definitely going to cause friction when the truth comes out and at this point I do believe the truth will eventually come out.
WHAT ABOUT WHEN EWON IS EATING AT THE RESTAURANT AND MOOKYUL IS TALKING TO THE CEO AND THERE ABOUT TO KISS BUT FOXY GOES IN AND INTERUPTS HIM ALSO IN THE FRIST CHAPTERS OF THE MANGA WHEN MOOKYUL GOES TO SEE THE CEO IN HIS OFFICE HE TELLS HIM THAT THE DEAL WAS THAT HE WOULD BE HIS TILL HIS 30 ALL HIS BODY HINT HINT AND THEN AFTER THAT HELL BE MADE THE CEO OF THE COMPANY I STILL THINK IS JEOULOSY ALSO WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT FOXY IS INFIRIOUR TO HIM I DONT KNOW I STILL GET THE FEELING THAT MOOKYUL IS GOING TO BE SCREWD BY THE CEO
Aww I felt bad for Ewon coming home like that seeing the guy who he thinks is Mokkyul lover at his home. I'm happy that Ewon's putting up a fight. I think the CEO and Mookyul used to be lover but not anymore. Because it's weird how comfortable Mookyul shopping with Ewon and the CEO if they still are.
I do not think that the CEO and Mookyul were lovers; In my opinion, they are father and son relationship. Mookyul is CEO's Rolling in Bed Naked SON.
Of course, that Mookyul will do anything for the CEO because the CEO is Mookyul's Old Man. I do not think the CEO was jealous, he just wants to let Evon knows that Mookyul can not win or against him for whatever he does and even hurting Evon.
CEO will not do anything to hurt or harm Mookyul and of course that he will protect his ROLLING NAKED IN BED SON; he just wants to see on how good is the relationship between his son and Evon, and he was just testing on Evon's feeling for Mookyul. If the CEO wants to hurt Evon, he does not needs to tell Evon all those things; he just can makes Evon disappear and doesn't has to say a word. *But I might be wrong about CEO and Mookyul on their relationship.*
Now, there is other problem will comes for Mookyul and Evon regarding a fought with Director Kim. So I think that the CEO knows about what's Director Kim will do to get even with Mookyul and Evon; that why he cames in to checking and testing on Evon.
THIS MANGA IS A VERY GREAT STORY!!!!! Author HAJIN HOO wants us (readers) to work on our brains and playing with our minds on her mangas.
Well just for the fact that ceo was mookyul lover i dought hes gonna let go of him so easily and i do not think is just him been protective cuz not long ago there was that kiss remember in the restaurant w the ceo so he still has feelings for him other than just a father figure but i think now its bad for ewon cuz hes starting to realize that he is in love w the BOSS but if ceo would try to break them up it might work ! i just hope that they stay together i love them as a couple but now with the guy that used to work for mookyul might talk on how ewon let him handle the boss books earlier on the manga to get money and that ewon new about it .... also i think that the boss just wanted to spend some time with the fox thats why he got him to tagg along on the shopping spree but he might be right it can be that the boss dont want to be touch by the ceo anymore now that he has his little fox but those it mean that the ceo is the seme and the boss the uke ? if anyone knows let me know
