Under the Greenlight is one of the best manhwas I have ever read. It is the perfect example of an intricately produced piece of art where every aspect of it that is just so cohesive and balanced. It was so overwhelmingly good that I literally needed a whole day after I finished reading it to allow myself to recover and let the emotional whirlwind in my mind to settle. I’m not even sure if any words I use can really do it justice but I guess I will try (sorry in advance, this review will be long but I promise it’s worth it). 

Jin is one of my favourite characters to ever exist. He is a complete badass power bottom who is fierce, ruthless and sassy but also has a soft side buried deep inside him. He has been completely put through the wringer and suffered so so much but still remains ever so strong. Matthew on the other hand, is the sweet, unassuming, golden-retriever top who also has a creepy and obsessive side to him, and would do literally anything to protect Jin. They’re both amazing characters and a part of why they’re great is because they are layered and flawed in a way that’s coherent and consistent to who they are. There were many instances where these characters made bad and hurtful decisions, or let their irrational emotions completely take over — but these happened in a way that made sense given everything they had gone through in the past and everything they were going through now. And that’s really where the plot comes in. 

These characters were developed and shaped through the plot of the story - their growth and arcs occurred as a result of all their past and current experiences. And the way the author delivers this - by intertwining the backstories with the current plot line, whilst showing how everything affected and moulded these characters, was so amazingly well-done. Other parts of the writing that I liked included the more subtle and nuanced style of storytelling. For example, on top of the usual expository flashback scenes, the author would tell pieces of the backstories through conversations between the characters. Or another example was how Jin and Brandon’s relationship was never explicitly fleshed out until the very end, but there were enough subtle cues earlier on to piece everything together. I also loved how the present-day plot line was actually vital in the overarching arcs of the characters. The story starts off with a new project that initially felt like just a random new development in Jin’s life but quickly pans out to be the culmination of unresolved conflict, feelings and attachments that had been brewing beneath the surface, and now places Jin at the crossroads. I also loved the concept of the dream pills, and how this parallels what the characters were going through. The art was also absolutely beautiful and fully sets the tone of the story, enhances the emotions of the scenes and just ties everything together. Basically, this was like a full circle story with everything coming together at the end, and all round genius storytelling.

Additionally, Under the Greenlight is a masterclass in excellent pacing. Sure it already has all the makings to be a great manhwa, but what makes it truly stand out is its immaculate pacing that completely elevates the entire story. I’m not going to pretend like I know anything about what goes into pacing a story, but all I know is that reading it just feels extremely smooth and the sequence of events feels natural. The overall dark and gritty tone of the manhwa was consistent throughout even until the very end. The soft, fluffy and lighthearted parts came in at just the right time to break the heaviness of certain plotlines and allows the readers a glimpse into what we hoped will be the light at the end of the tunnel, but it never drags on for too long such that it feels out of place. The angsty climaxes again came in at the right time after a good build-up and linger for just the perfect duration for us to feel the palpable pain and anguish (which I will definitely talk more about later). Even the unintended long hiatus after the cliff-hanger ending on season 1 ended up being a good thing for the story because the payoff when season 2 finally came out was just unimaginably good.  The main thing about having good pacing, is that it adds weight not just to these characters’ decisions and actions, but also to their words and the overall plot. Good pacing makes you feel the right emotions for the right amount of time and that keeps you, as a reader, wholly engaged and invested.

And so let me segue here to talk about the angsty parts of this story as I had promised. I don’t know if it was truly just the pacing or the art style or a combination of everything, but the angst in this story was so viscerally painful. During the angsty scenes, I could literally feel the anguish behind every word and every emotion of these characters. It was so palpable that at parts, my heart physically ached just from reading. There was an episode that I read one morning before work which turned out to be potentially the most angsty climax of the story, and it completely took over my entire day, the scene just kept replaying on my mind. There were many moments like that and if that’s not a hallmark of good writing, I don’t know what is. 

I have no requirement except I want the reader to be optimus wife.

I was a fluffy one shot with ur every character in it.. a day to day life of a sheriff's wife in town as she meets and greets people while delivering Lunch to her workaholic husband.

I am leaving the rest in ur reliable writing skill.

It was a beautiful day, the sun still low in the early morning sky meant it wasn't too hot. A soft breeze shook the leaves to make a peaceful sound. You were outside doing your morning laundry chore, when arms wrapped themselves around your waist. Lips pecking at your cheek. You giggled and leant back into the warm body behind you.

"I have to go. I hope you have a pleasant day." Optimus kissed your cheeks a few more times, before spinning you around and placing a kiss on your lips.

"Be safe, I'll see you when you get home." You kissed him once more, then waved him off as he headed into town.

You finished washing the clothes and hung them up to dry. Heading inside to start the rest of the daily chores. Then you spotted Optimus' lunch still on the table. You shook your head and tutted. Your husband was so eager to get to work he often forgot to grab his lunch. Although, you also wondered if he did it purposefully, knowing full well you would bring it to him.

You grabbed his lunch and made your way into town. You never minded the trip, it gave you an excuse to see your husband and to see other townsfolk as well.

You spotted Arcee and Elita first, they were leading a herd of horses past the outskirts of the town. They spotted you and waved, you smiled and waved back. You stood for a few minutes watching as the beautiful creatures trotted by you. You always enjoyed watching them work, and thought back to the time Arcee taught you how to ride a horse. Once the herd had passed, you continued walking.

Bulkhead and Wheeljack where carrying a fresh supply of Energon into the saloon, Jazz was watching them carefully ensuring they didn't drop any of the supply.

"Good morning." You called out. Jazz waved, but the others just greeted you, their full hands preventing them from returning a wave.

"Watch out." Wheelie zoomed under Bulkheads legs. Bulkhead almost tripped but managed to regain his step, and managed to keep hold of the Energon. You giggled and kept moving towards the Sherrif's office.

Croshairs and Cliffjumper rode past you, tipping their hats as they greeted you. You tipped a pretend hat in return.

"Mornin' miss." Jetfire greeted you, his cane slightly shaking from his weight. He was crossing the road towards the general stores location.

"Morning Jetfire."

"I see he forgot his lunch again." Jetfire tutted.

"He did." You replied. "Honestly if it wasn't for me he probably wouldn't eat."

"You're probably right about that. Take care now." Jetfire hobbled past you.

You spotted Hound and Sideswipe talking outside Hound's armory, most likely about weapons. They spotted you and waved, you returned the gesture. Though it was still quite early, mostly everyone was out and about. You were happy to see them all.

You finally arrived to the Sherrif's. Hot Rod and Bumblebee were talking outside. They were signing, and though you knew a little sign language, Hot Rod and Bee's hand movements were in a pace you couldn't keep up with. You caught a few words such as 'escape' and 'cattle'. But not much else.

"Morning gentlemen." You greeted.

"Good Morning madame." Hot Rod tipped his hat to you. Bee did as well then signed Good Morning.

"Everything well for you Hot Rod?" You asked.

"Yes, thank you. I was telling Bee that I found a hole in my fence, though it is fixed now I had two rogue cattle this morning." Hot Rod explained.

"Have they been caught?"

"Oui, Crosshairs and I got them pretty quickly."

"I'm glad. Now, I must get this to the Sheriff." The two parted allowing you to enter the building.

Ironhide was inside leaning against one of the prison cells bars. He was leering inside at it's occupants. Leadfoot and Roadbuster were inside. Leadfoot was holding his head while Roadbuster was still sleeping on the bed.

"Feeling better?" Ironhide asked.

"I will after some Energon and some good hard work." Leadfoot grumbled. He smacked Roadbuster, waking him. Roadbuster sat up a little startled by the smack, but soon came to his senses.

"You gonna keep us in here all morning or can we get to work?" Roadbuster groaned.

"If you didn't get into so many brawls you wouldn't end up in here. Now come on, out of my cell." Ironhide opened the cell door and let the two out. They shuffled out of the door.

Ironhide turned to you.

"Sherrif's out right now. He's doing his rounds but he'll be back soon." Ironhide explained.

"That's alright, do you mind if I wait here?" You asked. Ironhide shrugged and sauntered over to his desk to fill out paperwork.

You made your way to Optimus' desk and sat down in his chair, placing his lunch on the table. Your eyes glazed over some of the paper neatly stacked on his desk. Neat handwriting written across them.

Before you had any time to see what was written the door opened, catching your attention. Your husband sauntered through, taking off his hat as he did. He spotted you and grinned, his eyes sparkling in adoration for you.

"My love, this is a pleasant surprise." He greeted, grabbing your hands and helping lift you from the chair. He embraced you, giving you a soft kiss.

"Is it a surprise when you once again forgot your lunch?" You giggled.

"Ah, I did, I am forgetful sometimes. Thank you for bringing it." He said, not confirming nor denying if it was intentional. You combed his hair with your hand and brushed some dust from his clothes.

"I can't let you go hungry. But I should be going now."

"Could you stay a little while? Perhaps we could take a walk?" He asked.

"Aren't you busy?"

"I can always make time for you, especially since you made your way down here. Ironhide can cover, and Bee is close by as well." Optimus explained.

"Well if you insist." You linked your arm with your husbands and let him guide you outside.

Though the day was later and the sun was higher in the sky it was still a pleasant day. The breeze keeping you cool. You and Optimus took a stroll through the town, watching the townsfolk as they worked. You gently rubbed Optimus's arm as you walked, enjoying the closeness. You enjoyed every second you got with your husband.

"Anything troublesome happening lately?" You asked.

"Not of late my dear. All is quiet in our little town." Optimus stated.

"Is it quiet?" You raised a brow. Just as you spoke Skids and Mudflap burst through the general store's door. Daytrader following behind, berating them for making a mess in his store.

"Well, perhaps not quiet. But not any louder than normal." Optimus quipped. You giggled. Optimus unlinked from your arm and headed towards the disturbance.

You watched him work as he calmed Daytrader and scolded the twins. After the situation was handled he came back to you, offering you his arm once more.

"Perhaps I should get back to work. But I will walk you to the outskirts before I say farewell." Optimus suggested. You rested your head against his shoulder as you walked to the edge of the town, enjoying his presence.

Though it was a short walk, you still enjoyed your time with your husband. You parted once at the edge of town. Optimus cupped your cheek with his hand and leant down to capture your lips. The two of you sharing soft kisses for a minute.

Optimus was the first to pull away, brushing your cheek with his thumb. You leant into his touch, not wanting him to let go.

"I hope the rest of your day is quiet and easy." Optimus hummed.

"I think I should be saying that to you." You countered. Optimus chuckled.

"Let's hope we both have a good day. I will see you upon my return home later. Farwell for now my love." Optimus captured you lips for one final kiss before he started walking back into the town.
