U Don't Know Me Paperback – Illustrated, August 28, 2012

Another reviewer commented that the story is hard to follow and unnecessarily complicated. I think that's a very accurate assessment. Really, the only thing I really liked about the book was the artwork. The story largely makes no sense. It's at least 75% filler, which I assume the author felt was necessary because the base plot of two teenage boys in love with each other and fearing their families' reactions is so cliche and obvious. There are also lots of unnecessary characters that pop up for no real reason, with no introductions, which left me wondering who they were and why they were suddenly there. The art is beautiful, but the writing is some of the poorest I've ever read in a manga or manhwa.The actual love story has a lot of back-and-forth emotional drama, which doesn't even make much sense itself. In the beginning, the two main characters are in love but have yet to confess their feelings to one another. One day they are out together and the "seme" character's friends come along and notice them. Later the friends tell the seme that the uke has a reputation for being loose. The seme forces himself on the uke immediately, without confessing his feelings or confirming the rumor (which turns out to be false). The situation repeats itself later, proving the seme to be insecure and jealous...tell-tale signs of an abuser.To me, it wasn't a very romantic story. There were frequent love scenes and I liked the sneaking around the characters did. A secret love affair is interesting to me. But rape and abusive boyfriends are a real turn-off. And I have no idea what all the gang nonsense was about. There's a lot of fist-fighting between random characters and the main characters revolving around school rivalries and personal reputations. That stuff was just filler nonsense for the most part and extremely annoying.I don't think I'd buy another manhwa by this author. If there were an art book, I'd be all for it. But the writing is terrible and convoluted and the author's take on same-sex relationships is just too cliche and abusive for my tastes.

(ORIGINAL REVIEW WRITTEN UNDER PENNAME OF TYATH25, from NETCOMICS WEBSITE)Just recently purchased a copy off-line but couldn't wait for USPS to deliver it so I read it on-line.IT WAS FABULOSO AND TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY.1. Fabulous Story - it was totally believable! Very emotional and genuine. Often yaoi genre lacks the reality, but this work provides more in-depth feelings and realistic approach to relationships.2. Very poetic - all the text in the manhwa made the work truly shine; again, the feelings were very believable and genuine! It was absolutely a TREASURE to read.3. All the gag cuts. It was extremely funny to see the extra cuts in the end! Especially Seyun being all coy and Seyun totally rejecting Yoojin ("TOUCH ME AND DIE" lol).So, if you're hesitating, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seyun is a catty high-schooler with a mysterious past; Yoojin, a rough and hardened, straight-laced Judo star, have known each other since they were kids. And having grown up in the same place with two different personalities brings conflict, differences and disagreements. There's a tragedy in Seyun's family and is forced to move away from Yoojin.Seyun goes to avnew school, makes new friends, and several years later, they find themselves going down extremely different paths, all the while struggling to maintain their friendship. Old feelings start resurfacing, making it harder not to cross that line and a bitter tug-of-war starts and it gets juicy and exciting from there. Have to read, hate the buried feelings, love the guys together and the cover is hot and well done. It's amazing and touching and passionate.

I've been reading yaoi for more years than I'd like to admit so I've read more than my fair share. For me this one had it all. Charecters you could care about, plot development, angst you could feel, hot yaoi action, and a sweetness you long for.I read the first few pages as a bootleg years ago but the story was too good to continue without owning my own copy and appreciating the art the way it was meant to be seen. I tracked down an English copy so I could finish the story and it is still amongst the small collection of yaoi that I never trade away and have re-read more than once.

Probably one of the best yaoi manga I've read in awhile. Without a doubt the artwork is stunning. Never read a Korean style yaoi manga but was deff pleased. Has everything to offer with great character development and good plot. I enjoy the more serious yaoi mangas with deep plot but lite comedy on the side and this story delivers on both . Deff worth the price and you should deff consider adding it to you manga collection!

This is the perfect yaoi manga with just enough smut and the story keeps you reading until the end wanting more. Another plus is the manga is full screen on my iPad and the print was big and easy to read some mangas I've purchased from Amazon are so hard to read. I highly recommend this purchase you will enjoy it and read it over and over definitely a keeper I just wish there was a 2nd volume.

I enjoy this childhood friends to lovers stories. I really liked how accepting their parents were too. Very good manga and pretty art too.

The plot of the story was good. There was no character development and growth, so the love relationship as adults remained the maturity level of adolescents which was disappointing. Overall it was okay.

Fujoshi reporting in!I really enjoyed this story for many reasons. The personality gaps (moe!) The relationship between the two main characters. How the uke is not just some push over. I adore the seme's dad and how the family becomes involved. It's longer than some manga (manhwa's) that are separated into volumes, but the story is complete. I think it's a title worth owning!

Es una muy buena historia, el pedido llego dos días después de que lo compre, Amazon tiene un servicio muy eficiente

2/5 stars for me.For me, this manwha was painfully hard to follow. To be quite honest, I don't even really know what happened or what the story was about quite frankly.I think what made it even harder to follow was all the filler it jammed in. About 50% of this must have been filler to be quite frank.Unfortunately this was also a very cliche M/M story with a story that is almost nonexistent. The art is okay I guess but not the best I've seen either.I didn't really like the two lead characters either. The seme felt too assertive/jealous, etc and borderline abusive. There wasn't any real love confession scene either.I can't say I'd recommend this particular story to anyone. The story was all over the place, random characters popped in at random times without explanation or introduction only to disappear shortly after and the love story was meh at best. But I think what really did it forme was that the relationship felt almost abusive and it was just another cliche m/m story.

Die Story war kompakt und interessant. Das Cover und die Figuren sehen einfach super aus. Ich freue mich sehr etwas gefunden zu haben dass so gut in meine Sammlung passt !!!

Sweet story about childhood friends beating around the bush ...Even though there’s kind of an open ending to a side story, I really enjoyed reading it. I hope there’s a book about the side story, since it seemed a painful story about a one sided love, that unfortunately started to be revealed only in the end of the main story and it really got me intrigued.
