Yeah.. Poor handsome boy growing up with fucked up mother and this crazy uncle.. Hopefully there's a backstory that justify why was Heeran like that.. She's the only woman Nanmu loves in the world.. So she must be such a great woman
Thank goodness I'm not alone in this!
Riiiiiight? I feel Nanmu will get hurt if he's with Pil Gyun, BUT! Like Joel-ho said, Pil Gyun won't risk any moves that could make Nanmu hates him.. So, I'm hoping.. I really hope creator-nim won't do any drastic plot twist to eliminate one of Nanmu's brother.. Especially not Joel-ho because I wanna see him in a long run
I think Jeolho and the young master will be together. I don’t think Jeolho and Nanmu are a good pairing or mature because 1. Jeolho took advantage of Nanmu’s depressed situation, 2. Jeolho doesn’t prioritize Nanmu over his mafia work, and I get that mafia is dangerous but even a kid like Pilgyun compared to Jeolho killed all those rapists who hurt Nanmu. I’d rather have Nanmu be loved and prioritized by someone who cares.
Jeolho did take advantage of Nanmu though, his depressed state. If it weren’t for Pilgyun, he would’ve continued to fuck with Nanmu and hurt him in the process. And where did Pilgyun take advantage? I tend to forget stuff so feel free to tell me. I just remember Pilgyun killing Nanmu’s rapists when no one else could, Pilgyun being unhinged as hell and kinda freaked me out but whatever, at least someone loves Nanmu to the point they prioritize him first.
Pilgyun wants to be Nanmu’s happiness and so does Nanmu, we can see they both love each other. Jeolho and the young master will most def be the side couple, I think Jeolho will be bottom lmaoo.
I guess Jeol-ho will end up with Hwang Jae-woo, yep! The "legal heir" is probably liking Jeol-ho, as can be seen when Jeol-ho knocked Hwang Jae-woo he obediently followed.. but from the way Hwang Jae-woo grabbed Jeol-ho's sleeve can easily indicate that the young master is bottom.. Grabbing a guy sleeve is a "cute/girly" gesture known in Japan and Korea. And I believe Jeol-ho is an alpha male, he won't let anyone dominate him in bed
I think when it mentioned Pil Gyun takes advantage of Nanmu is the way Pil Gyun act in front of Nanmu and when Namnu isn't around. I won't say taking advantage, but manipulative..? Nanmu even mentioned how Pil Gyun made a scene at the beginning of the story when he tried to lure Nanmu to find him, and how Pil Gyun obviously left "clue" on the rubic so Nanmu could find him. Yeah.. I think manipulative is better term..? BUT! I got a feeling Nanmu is 100% aware that Pil Gyun is doing it, manipulate.. Making Nanmu vulnerable and depends on him. Although Nanmu is emotionally vulnerable from the start. Then Pil Gyun came around. Their relationship is pretty much pulling one another, not in negative way--because that's what they need. Pil Gyun is very obsessed with Nanmu, and same goes with Nanmu to Pil Gyun.
Remember when Nanmu asked Jeol-ho to find Pil Gyun..? Then he chose to help Pil Gyun by "speeding up" the process, so Nanmu can meet him..? That's what I called mature. Joel-ho is probably almost as obsessed as Pil Gyun to Nanmu, but he's aware that Nanmu's heart won't be his. That's why Jeol-ho is accepting the fact that only Pil Gyun who can make Nanmu happy. If Jeol-ho wasn't mature and following his lust/obsession instead, he would find a way to keep Nanmu for himself as long as possible. He could kill Pil Gyun with his gun. But Jeol-ho didn't do it, cause it will "kill" Nanmu slowly if Pil Gyun die (not that the creator-ni will do that, of course!).. And I think he's aware that Nanmu will never be his, that why he chose his "work" that will definitely "work" for him--Nanmu is a losing battle for Jeol-ho.
Welp! Sorry I typed too much.. But the point is, if I were able to choose.. I like Jeol-ho better. He's more of my type, ha! However, what Nanmu needs is Pil Gyun
Now I'm kinda shipping Jeol-ho with Hwang Jae-woo after typing this.. I ship top!Jeol-ho with anyone
I've been following this manhwa since the beginning.. But somehow.. For unknown reason, I don't like Pil Gyun..? Not that I hate him as character, but I feel disconnected from him. I don't feel sympathetic towards him.. And since the beginning, I've been guessing he crying crocodile tears. Hence the crocodile nickname..?
Honestly, I kinda ship Nanmu with Jeol-ho instead.. I might be alone in this, but yep! I like Joel-how better~
I wonder how's Joel-ho relationship with Hwang Jae-woo (Pil Gyun's older brother).
