Description
Cheong-yeon demands a divorce from Do-heon, ending their three-year marriage. “I think I’ve seen enough, both good and bad. Let’s end this. Please divorce me, Do-heon.” And so Yoo Cheong-yeon adds “divorcee” to his list of titles alongside former failed idol and high school graduate. As he struggles to restart his acting career that he had given up due to Do-heon’s opposition, his ex-husband starts acting strangely. ‘Is it just my imagination, or does Do-heon, who never showed the slightest interest in me before, keep lingering around?’ Eventually, Do-heon even proposes a sponsorship arrangement to Cheong-yeon. “Spon…sorship?” “Once a week. Meeting me every Friday evening.” “Why should I accept sponsorship from you, Director?” “Because I can get you cast in that drama. As the lead role, of course.” Cheong-yeon wants to flatly refuse, telling him not to talk nonsense, but the wealthy ex-husband’s offer is too tempting. ‘But this guy didn’t even enjoy having s*x with me when we were together.’ Do-heon’s unpredictable attitude leaves Cheong-yeon confused. “Fine. I’ll agree if there’s no physical contact. It’s not like you’re making this offer because you want to sleep with me anyway.” “Why would you think I wouldn’t demand s*x from you?” Cheong-yeon’s eyes widened at these unexpected words. “What?” “Even though we’re divorced now, we were legitimately married.” “Then… that means…” “Of course s*x is included. Isn’t that the basic condition of sponsorship?”

My Thoughts on Ex Sponsor
"Ex Sponsor" has been quite the ride so far, and I've got some mixed feelings about it. The premise is intriguing, diving into the complexities of relationships formed under unusual circumstances, but the execution has left me a little conflicted.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the drama and the promise of a tumultuous romance between characters from different social strata. The "arranged marriage" and "contract" elements added a layer of intrigue that kept me hooked. The adult themes, particularly the smut and yaoi content, were handled explicitly, which definitely caters to a specific audience.
What Works Well
The novel excels at creating a world of high stakes and emotional intensity. The power dynamics between the MC and ML are fascinating, and the author does a solid job of portraying the internal struggles of both characters as they navigate their complicated relationship. The "businessmen" and "celebrities" tags come into play nicely, adding a layer of glamour and pressure to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
However, I share some reservations about the MC's character development. At times, it feels like he's relegated to a "damsel in distress" role, constantly needing to be rescued by the ML. This dynamic undermines his agency and makes it harder to root for him as an independent character. This reliance on the ML overshadows what could be a compelling journey of self-discovery.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Ex Sponsor" is a mixed bag. It has moments of compelling drama and intense romance, but it also stumbles with potentially problematic character dynamics and depictions of consent. While the story has potential, I would approach it with caution, especially if you're sensitive to issues of consent and power imbalances in relationships. It's an ongoing story, so there's always a chance for improvement and growth, but as it stands, it's a flawed but intriguing read.
