BJ Alex #9
BJ Alex 9
Every night at 10, Dong-gyun locks himself up in his room, grabs a box of tissues, and watches a live cam boy show hosted by Alex, a BJ (broadcast jockey). Timid Dong-gyun admires not only Alex’s ripped body, but his candor in sharing his sexual experiences with viewers. One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.

It doesn't merit the hoopla, in my opinion, is my final judgement.

Since I read this digitally and couldn't find any information on the chapter breakdowns for the volumes, I'll just write my overall thoughts here.
There's a fair amount I liked, and I can definitely see why this would be a favorite for people, especially if it was one of their earlier experiences with the genre. I enjoyed the character progression with Ahn Jiwon, particularly the whole symbolism with the mask (both literal and figurative) - that final scene was almost good enough to make me reconsider my overall rating.
I liked Nam Dong-Gyun's backstory, too, once we finally got it, and the whole concept of how life might have been kinder if these two sensitive, queer boys had met in high school - having the chance to spend time with kindred spirits rather than being hurt and thrown aside by people who didn't understand them.
With that said, I'm honestly not sure I ever really felt their chemistry. There's also a lot of sex, which would probably be a plus for most readers, but it felt imbalanced to me, especially because a lot of the scenes were just angry f*ck buddies, essentially, until Jiwon finally started to fall for Dong-Gyun and tried to slowly soften their encounters into actual affection. Still, they seemed so much more focused on the physical and hardly spent time talking, which...yes, I'm more interested in. I want to see them getting to know and like each other as people.
And honestly, it's not all negatives on Jiwon's side; Dong-Gyun being an obsessed fan who got to sleep with his favorite online streamer was a little uncomfortable, too.
I'm glad that he ended up apologizing for ruining one of Jiwon's streams - because while Jiwon was being a total jerk to him for the initial stages of their relationship, Dong-Gyun was also breaking a lot of the rules they'd set out, and pushing past the established boundaries. It just wasn't particularly healthy for either of them, until much later in the storyline, when they finally started to communicate more as equals.
I will say the one scene I didn't like at all was the random bit of watersports - which is a Hard No for me, enough that I might have skipped this entire series if I'd known it was included. It was fairly brief and not super graphic, though, and also 3/4 of the way through the story, so I just kept going. (But it was something that swayed me into not needing to own the physical volumes.)
What's kind of funny is that this was between the main couple, not the dom/sub side couple - you'd think it would've fit better with their dynamic, as a sort of humiliation kink. But honestly it kind of felt like Mingwa was trying to pack in spicier and more dramatic sex scenes without necessarily feeding them into the story or character progression.
I did like Dong-Gyun's friend a lot, though, and I enjoyed the final side story of him and MD developing an actual romantic relationship outside of their dom/sub play sessions. It's an interesting dynamic - BDSM isn't something I'm particularly into, but I think this was a fairly good portrait of two adults pursuing something they're mutually interested in. I found the separation between play and romance interesting, too, because I've actually known some people who do that in real life, and I think it's good to portray different kinds of stories to speak to different people. Not everyone loves in the same way, and that's okay.
Again, there was one bit that ruined it a little for me, though, and that was the scene with MD forcing Chanwoo into a sex scene with the guy who'd just broken Chanwoo's heart. Like....an hour earlier. I know it was a BDSM scene, and that they all had safe words and Chanwoo was choosing not to use his, but it still felt incredibly cruel on MD's part...and not in the sexy dom way. He was damaging Chanwoo emotionally, which leaves a deeper kind of bruise.
They did ultimately talk about it...kind of. I saw people in the comments saying that MD was trying to push Chanwoo to use his safe words properly, which is a good take, although not really how I read the scenes, based on how MD spoke to him after. But they did have a breakthrough in some ways, and hopefully that leads to more honesty and true vulnerability for them both in the future.
An interesting series, definitely; I see its value, but I really don't think it's one I'd go back to revisit.

Jeeeezuuuus.
I feel like I’ve been drug through it. I’m not sure I’d rec this book to anyone unless I knew their tastes really well.
There’s so much that is problematic about the characters and their relationships in this book. Toxic, abusive, hurtful, dubcon, and probably more things I can’t recall right now.
Buuuut… I’m not particularly scared off by any of that. The great thing about art is it’s pretend. For those characters those relationships worked for them. Did I think it was weird how often DG begged Alex to stop and he didn’t? Yes. Did I find it uncomfortable how often DG seemed in pain when having sex with Alex? Yes. Did I think MD was a dick to his sub? Yes!
Buuuuut.. they all seemed Happy in the end. The misunderstandings were cleared up. They gave in depth explanations of why they acted the way they did. In Alex’s case it was a fine example of hurt people hurt people. He was a complex character who deserved love as much as anyone else. DG just had to fight extra hard to get his man. 🤷🏻♀️ and Alex worked extra hard to make it to to DG once he admitted he was in love with him.
I read all the side stories too. Phew. This thing was a beast. And addictive not on to the next big addiction… ::cough::PitBabe::cough::

July 28, 2025so finally i have read it and i am not exactly sure what to made of it
it wasn't at all what i was expecting
the plot was plotting for about 2 seasons then it was very noticeable that author started to drag it
the whole camboy part of it was mostly relevant for the first season then slowly dissolved into background noise. and although it was nicely resolved at the end, it wasn't written deeply enough for me to think of it more than just some catchy plot device used by author to made their work more outstanding among sea of other bls. witch is fine in my eyes, but yet again i was somehow expecting for it to be more relevant and meaningful in the main scheme of things. there is so much that can be told about this particular topic and i have my fingers crossed that somebody will pick it up sooner than later.
the main theme of the whole story is really similar to he plot of the second season of Banana Scandal:
fan boy fells in love with the wrong person-> gets used by them -> reconsider his miserable position and wants to get out -> the wrongdoing party finally notices its horrible behavior and fights for forgives -> they finally communicate -> happy ending
nothing new, done millions of times
but somehow reading about it in Banana Scandal hits hard, gives a whole spectrum of emotion, damages hearts and leave readers expectations and needs fulfilled to the brim
in a contrast, similar story in Bj Alex, especially the whole redemption part, feels like it went too smoothly, forgiveness was granted almost immediately and everything ended shortly on a very high note
and after finishing it
i felt almost nothing
what i am trying to say, it's not the matter of what story is written but how it's done
and in this case, though the pieces of it were very similar, the storytelling wasn't as good or rather not good enough for my liking
as for arstyle, it was good but also not memorable enough
in conclusion
i honestly don't get why the heck is this as popular as it is
hope somebody can explain this phenomenon to me
i am sincerely curious

This is what I think of BJ MD.
I enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought I would. My favorite character is Chanwoo, so I guess that's what I liked the most.

Pues ya que me los releí TODOS del tirón, voy a aprovechar este último tomo para la reseña conjunta, porque tampoco me parece que tengan por separado tanta chicha como para hablar de cada uno de ellos individualmente.
Dong-gyun es un chaval universitario, tímido y retraído, que vive un pelín obsesionado con un streamer +18, BJ Alex, que hace cada noche directos bastante subidos de tono. Cosas de la vida, termina descubriendo la identidad de Alex, que resulta ser Jiwon, un chico de su universidad que además es el típico estudiante perfecto con una reputación intachable.
Desde ese momento se va estableciendo una relación entre ellos que empieza un poco truculenta. Jiwon (Alex) es bastante imbécil con Dong-gyun de primeras, y tiene la típica y cansina actitud de "noteputopilles que yo no quiero nada serio".
Así que sí, como os estaréis imaginando estos manhwas son una mamarrachada padre de proporciones épicas, con bastantes (muchas) páginas de cochineo... El caso es que, partiendo de esa base... A mi aún así me gustan mucho. En ningún momento dejan de ser una historia básica y simple, pero los personajes tienen su evolución dentro de lo que cabe. La relación empieza siendo bastante tóxica, pero va mejorando con los tomos y Jiwon va pasando de ser un CUCARACHO insufrible a una persona normal que sabe comunicarse y preocuparse por su pareja.
También una cosa fundamental tratándose de un manhwa, es que me gusta mucho el estilo y el dibujo de Mingwa. Leí BLs mejores en cuando a historia, pero quizá el dibujo no me gustaba tanto como este.
Y no puedo no mencionar que, si bien me parece una historia que como mucho llegaría al 6-7, hay dos cosas que para mi me hicieron subirle la nota: Por un lado está ya el mencionado estilo de la autora, y por otro está la pareja secundaria. Chanwoo y Myung-Dae Kim se roban absolutamente toda la atención, sobre todo Chanwoo, y me cuesta mucho entender que no sean ellos los protagonistas. Sus capítulos extras son mis favoritos.
¿Cosa que me ha gustado bastante? Las reacciones de los colegas de su entorno cuando salen del armario, teniendo en cuenta como está todavía la sociedad coreana en estos temas ¿Cosas que no tanto? Lo que veo que les sigue costando a muchas autoras del género salirse de una vez de roles y estereotipos manidísimos. Solo hay que ver la cara de Jiwon en el panel en el que Dong-gyun le deja caer de broma que sean versátiles. Amiga, ya, hay que ir saliéndose un poco ya de estas costumbres tan rígidas y hacer historias más variadas.
¿Resumen? Pues una historia con smut bastante basiquita, pero que dentro de todo lo que yo he leído dentro del manga y manwha (que no es poco y creedme que hay cada cosa..) no está mal, tiene una buena evolución y el dibujo está chulo. Perfecto para leer entre cosas más densas que te fríen en cerebro. Es adictivo y sencillo y aunque tiene sus cosas negativas, en conjunto a mi me parece que está bastante bien dentro de lo que cabe.

I’m glad that things improved. I still think that the LI is unnecessarily cruel in the beginning but I did enjoy seeing him realize how badly he fucked up and how things turned around. I don’t know that it’s as good as the hype makes it out to be but it did end up being a decent story.
The stuff with side characters was interesting too, but Chanwoo really drove me nuts with how naive he was. The BDSM isn’t accurate but it is fictional and it’s still healthier than freakin 50 shades 🤪
