Part 1: Meet The Characters Of Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Seo Haebom

Seo Haebom is Jo Taesungs girlfriend a.k.a boyfriend. It’s because he has a girlish appearance with curly hair and petite height compared to Taesung. He is also a soft-hearted and meek person. Such characteristics make him adorable, while also being vulnerable to bullies in Cherry Blossoms After Winter.

Jo Taesung

Jo Taesung of Cherry Blossoms After Winter is the cool, calm, and collected boyfriend of Seo Haebom. At first, he hates Haebom, because Haebom who just arrived at his parent’s house is like a stranger to him. He even states that he doesnt want a brother. Later on, the two get closer and spends more time together before eventually involving themselves in a romantic relationship.

Part 2: Story Of Cherry Blossoms After Winter

At first, the two boys’ families are the focus of Cherry Blossoms After Winter’s novel. Seo Haeboms mother is the best friend of Jo Taesungs mother. Too bad, she has passed away, and Haebom is still not at his legal age of living independently. So, Taesungs mother sends Haebom to live with Taesung.

At first, Taesung hates Haebom because he doesnt want a brother. So, it seems to me that they live in different rooms in the first few chapters of Cherry Blossoms After Winter. Long story short, Haebom enters his first day as a senior high school student and he encounters bullies who demand to give him some sums of money.

Haebom is shocked to find out that Taesung enters the same school as him. He also saves Haebom from the bullies. They eat lunch together afterward and become closer from there on. Then, they become couples and their relationships continue to get even more romantic as the stories of Cherry Blossoms After Winter get closer to the end.

Part 3: Meet The Author Of Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Bamwoo is the name of the author of Cherry Blossoms After Winter, and this manhwa isn’t the only book that Bamwoo has written. This author has written other novels with the same character illustrations and boys’ love a.k.a BL themes.

However, Cherry Blossoms After Winter is more popular than another one Bamwoos manhwa. Bamboo continues to write the scripts for this manhwa until it reaches chapter 145 as the final chapter. Bamwoo himself has finished writing this manhwa that he first published in 2017 in 2022, which makes Cherry Blossoms After Winter a 5-year-old manhwa.

This manhwa is so famous that it doesnt only remains as a manhwa with illustrations on various platforms. Instead, until now, we can see the manhwas adaptations into movies. Lots of people love the movie versions, and the romantic scenes between Haebom and Taesung are so identical to the manhwa version.

However, the movie version is not comparable to the manhwa version. The uniforms that Haebom and Taesung wear are more fashionable and the storylines are deeper in the manhwa version of Cherry Blossoms After Winter.

Part 4: Alternative to Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Cherry Blossoms After Winter is not just another BL novel. Instead, it is a novel that involves a BoyxBoy romantic relationship in a high school setting. The boys in this web novel a.k.a manhwa are in their third grade of senior high school.

So, what about a novel on the Dreame platform with identical storylines? Dating The School Mr. Bully (LGBT) is the answer! Chad in Dreames Dating The Schools Mr. Bully (LGBT) is like Haebom in terms of his role as the girlfriend to Cade, the Mr. Bully of the story.

This novel can also be your alternative to answer the what-if questions about Haebom marrying other bullies!

Summary of Dating The School Mr. Bully (LGBT):

Richard Chad Neil Sky of Dating The Schools Mr. Bully (LGBT) is a model student: He follows the rules, never misses the deadlines of the assignments, has clear sights of his future, and he is also the leader of the Peacemaker group in his school. Everything seems perfect until he falls head over heels for Cade Felix Thompson, the bad boy of the school.

Cade is the most famous bully in Chad’s school, and he also has squads of girls who keep on swooning after him. However, it’s also the first time in Chad’s life to witness Cade smiles at him with a genuine smile. The two boys become close to one another shortly afterward. Even though Cade would often tease Chad, he would bounce back to his loving and affectionate side.

I guess the same thing doesnt happen in Cherry Blossoms After Winter. For me, Dreame’s Dating The Schools Mr. Bully (LGBT) is more enjoyable to read with the bully element in the story.
