Description
Nam Seon-woo, a former skier. For many years, he had been nursing a one-sided love for his childhood friend. Then, one day, he meets an extraordinarily beautiful man. Thinking it was just a fleeting encounter, he tries to move on. But the man, Eun Hyeon-chae, turns out to be a junior at his school, constantly crossing his path,and even joins Seon-woo’s ski club, ‘Schuphur’. “Explain yourself. You said you didn’t know me, but now you want to be my junior. You should respect my privacy.” “You always look at me like that, sunbae.” “…How exactly do I look at you?” “Like you find me so irresistibly beautiful, it’s killing you.” And slowly, Seon-woo’s heart begins to waver too… * “Sunbae. Were you crying?” “…” “Sunbae.” “Just go.” Though Seon-woo told him to leave, Hyeon-chae slipped into the closing elevator at the last second. “Sunbae, if there’s anything I can do to help, I want to—” “Leaving quietly would help.” Seon-woo turned his back to him. But before he could take a single step, Hyeon-chae reached out, grabbing his arm. “Sunbae. I like you.” Seon-woo stared at the hand holding his arm, then slowly turned back to meet Hyeon-chae’s gaze. Their eyes met, the same ones that had been watching him from afar for months. In that moment, Seon-woo pulled him closer and kissed him. It’s a story about a younger seme, blinded by love, crossing lines, breaking boundaries, and going beyond limits, and the older uke who finds his persistence irresistibly endearing.

My Thoughts on Alpine
Alright, let's dive into "Alpine." I went in expecting a fluffy college romance set against the backdrop of a ski club, and while those elements are present, I quickly realized there's a lot more going on under the surface. This story isn't just about first love and awkward college moments; it's heavily steeped in the cutthroat world of rival conglomerate families. So, buckle up, because you're in for more than just snow-covered slopes.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a sweet, possibly angsty, yaoi romance in a university setting. The omegaverse tag definitely piqued my interest, and I was ready for some doting love interests and maybe a bit of possessiveness. The early chapters delivered on this, setting the stage for a compelling dynamic between the leads. However, it soon became apparent that the ski club and university life were almost secondary to the overarching family drama.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most about "Alpine" was its commitment to the high-stakes rivalry between the main characters' families. It added a layer of complexity that I wasn't expecting, and it kept me engaged even when the romance took a backseat. The author does a good job of building tension and making you feel the weight of these power struggles. Also, the "clingy lover" and "doting love interest" aspects were definitely present, and if you're into that, you won't be disappointed. The male lead is handsome and the characters are well defined.
Areas of Concern
While the family drama added depth, I also felt it overshadowed the other elements that initially drew me in. The university and ski club setting felt more like window dressing than integral parts of the plot. I would have loved to see these aspects explored in more detail, giving the story a better sense of place and grounding the characters in their college lives. If you go in expecting a sports-focused story, you may be disappointed.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Alpine" is a mixed bag. It's a story with a lot of potential, and the central romance, combined with the intense family rivalry, makes for an engaging read. However, the imbalance between the different plot elements left me wanting more from the university and sports aspects. If you're looking for a dramatic romance with a strong emphasis on power struggles, "Alpine" is worth checking out. Just be prepared for the family drama to take center stage.
