I don't think YO is badly written this season. If anything, it shows how strong a character he is. Stronger than JH, to be honest, but I'm not wasting my time trying to convince y'all. Hehe.
I do agree with the witch hunt on JH. I just need a reasonable amount of time before YO welcomes him back. He also has to understand and make up for his past actions. He hurt YO in soooo many ways, which is why I can't accept for things to be easy for him. I just really need him to earn it. And I've been observing his speech from season 1 to 3. Season 1, he was condescending, very caustic. Season 2, he behaved like he had all the time in the world for YO2 and was less acerbic. Season 3, well, we find out that he can make other facial expressions, but he still makes some snide remarks. He better watch his mouth starting cap. 73. JH needs to practice humility from here on out. It's YO who no longer has time for BS now.
Buuuuuut, anyways, I wrote this down in case people will start wanting to kill him in the future chapters:
• was very close with his mom, but lost her at a young age
• realized he had no one he can turn to in the family
• learned to grow up with the absence of love (may explain his low comprehension on feelings and such)
• suspected foul play in mother's death and dedicated life to investigating the mystery surrounding it (may explain why he has no room for love or any kind of close relationship with others)
• knows some people, but doesn't seem to have close friends; even years after his mother's demise, he still has no one in his corner
• assholery may be some kind of armor to protect himself or maybe serves as some kind of deterrent for anything that may derail him from his mission; maybe deemed vulnerability towards another person to be disruptive
• found something in YO but is clueless to put a name on it
Also, this comment on YO is golden: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/14532774/
Honestly, JH and YO are just 2 very lonely people. They can be good together, but like what they say, nothing worth having is ever easy.
If I could up vote this 20x I would!
Then stop reading it. This is one of the better written BLs I've read where the reactions are a lot more realistic than most BL's and the characters have more depth. It's ironic you're calling YO immature because everything you've written screams immature and lack of empathy.
According to you, because JH wants revenge for his mom, he can harm someone else who has never done anything wrong? JH came into YO's life for the USB which could have gotten YO killed and still might get him killed, JH's grandfather kills people including YO's dad. JH put YO's life in danger for his revenge and didn't even tell him that until 1 chapter ago in the hospital. He took advantage of someone who's been abused, beaten and raped by men, used him to get the USB and for sex. JH raped YO after he was drugged, sexually assaulted and filmed by men at the club, treated him like a whore and told he meant nothing to him. As in the sex, the time spent together and everything JH had done for him was just for the USB. YO was ready to accept whatever happens to him without JH's help with the loan shark. To YO, it seems like JH saved him to appease his guilt, given everything JH has said and done. YO would not have gotten kidnapped if JH hadn't stabbed the loan shark and trashed his office, JH messed up by thinking that would be the end of the loan shark but it wasn't and YO paid the price for something JH did again. These are the reasons why JH is an ahole, not because he played with YO's feelings.
“This is one of the better written BLs” and that’s where I stop taking you seriously
Finally, someone's not blaming all on Jae-Hyeok. They're both have their baggages. Yeon-Oh is prideful and Jae-Hyeok is arrogant. Yeon-Oh need to worry about his family and debt, and Jae-Hyeok wants revenge. Jae-Hyeok just tries to make up for Yeon-oh because his grandfather killed his dad and that night he rapes him.
What between them is a transaction, not a romantic relationship, if not for Jae-Hyeok, Yeon-oh still have to take care of his dad's debt, being sexually assaulted by that loanshark, strugglling with minor roles. I love how Yeon-oh put some distance between them but it's not fair to put all the blame on Jae-Hyeok.
Yeon-oh can't cut ties with Jae-Hyeok because he is literally his director of his company. I wish the author will let Yeon-oh focus on his carrer to earn money and pay back Jae-Hyeok, instead of offering his own body. They can distance from each others for some time and just being in a professional relationship.
The way the ML is hated makes me giggle because yes he played with the uke’s feelings BUT he’s a traumatised guy who’s trying to give justice to his murdered parents ?? Because of this context I am less inclined to witch hunt him like the rest of the comments. Like I am sorry but I would do anything to find out what happened to my parents if they also met the same fate. Or maybe everyone has mysteriously forgotten? Just like the uke tbh. Also the uke is annoying me he’s becoming badly written because again the ml was right he’s being immature and willing to go through pain and suffering for his pride. Just take the money and dip ??? By insisting on paying back money that’s just impossible for you why not take it and go somewhere and start again because the money is enough to do that? Like hello those BLs were the uke just leaves and starts an anonymous life…he can literally do that. He’s not smart and just likes to suffer thanks to the author. Just unserious. Not saying the ML is a saint but yea…writing went from interesting to downright torturous.
And for everyone going yes he’s giving him a taste of his own medicine…by having sexual relations with him under the context of a taunt?? He’s in love with that man and wants to fuck. He never fell out of love in contrast with the ML who didn’t even know he was in love until the end of the last arc. There’s such a big difference so he’s never going to truly give him the “taste of his medicine”. I’m just not impressed because the uke’s actions are just so immature I can’t take him nor the development of this relationship seriously. He’s currently too self-sabotaging which again plot conveniences for the inevitable end game.
So again another point is that because the uke never fell out of love and he insists on suffering…how can you champion this as strength? This blind praise of him as strength when in real life I would honestly consider him a victim of his own actions. This isn’t strength. It is just nonsensical writing and and in real life this would have serious consequences.
