My Review:
I absolutely adore this work. At first I was reluctant to read this as I thought it could fall into the "have really kinky sex with me or I'll make you homeless" kind of trope. Bitter Pill manages to completely avoid that and instead offers a deep tangled web of conflicting feelings and ugly emotions. I've found myself torn between which pairing I prefer, these fics can often be very biased towards the main pairing (in this case baek yeol) so it's easy to root for them and forget the other partner. The Baekyeon is so wonderfully written that at times you almost wish they would work out. I think that Huaner cleverly shows two different sides to love, baekyeons I feel is very sweet and gentle, like a spring breeze. This constrasts beautifully to the deep, rich and very raw emotions that envelop Chanyeol's and Baekhyun's relationship.
Read this and you yourself will fall into the lies, deception, confusion and lust alongside Baekhyun and the other characters.
