you explained it so well! i like how this bl feels realistic most of the time, and i feel like most people are constantly mean whenever characters in bls act more realistically or act upon their own issues/struggles
The reaction makes me wonder if they’re reading the same story that I am lol. And honestly, these people must not any close friends for them to react like that towards how mc is feeling,
THISSSSS PLEASEEE
thank you!! and i feel the same, even if some of the tropes are cliche (misunderstanding, unrequited love) the two main characters show really rich personalities. they’re not perfect people and can be frustrating, but their mindsets make sense given their traumas and experiences- hence why it feels so realistic
exactly that too! there’s so much judgement when his behavior makes sense… some people must’ve never had a strong connection if they think his reaction isn’t relatable?? it was literally his first and last time being hurt by the guy too, but some of yall would go back to your toxic ex in a heartbeat like
RIGHT I FELT GASLIT it’s just like you said, the only people who understand this are those that had tight bonds but were hurt by it. it’s not an overnight fix, and what minwoo said to him only reaffirmed dojun’s insecurities and doubts about his presence?? but its barely getting addressed…
This is so true! If anyone who criticised him went through the same shit I bet they would hold a sobbing party yet here they criticised him when in fact it’s been only few hours
FR!!! he only reflected on it for 20 mins MAX before passing out in the taxi. then tried to contact his bf immediately after his hospital release then passed out AGAIN. there was no time for him to react bruh- literally. what do people expect from him honestly lmao
anger or hatred is not the only emotion guys , his sadness is valid asf he not only lost a meaningful connection but had it tarnished hearing his true thoughts on it… the acceptance of those harsh words come from a place of deep insecurity not him trying to be a all forgiving mary sue??
And yet they would not criticise as much that jerk, people love to victim blame instead of going after the real bad guy here, that sadist mf. I like Dojun personality, the author did an amazing job at describing him , it’s complex and nuanced. He was grateful for his second mom never having tantrums like what is portrayed and stereotyped after teenagers. He feels real rather than a fictional character. I like him honestly. He’s honest and lives by the honest system which is something a lot of people lack today. He even got the taxi driver number just to pay him , others would have dismissed it .
agreed completely, this story is so realisticaly written and its almost like it baffles other people who read it because other mangas are edgy and most of the time cringy due to how unrealistic some situations are... but this feels so real and so genuine and not everyone can achieve this level of writing, especially on this site.. like go read an actual book for once and realize this is the most normal behaviour
FR LIKE BRO WAS OVERWORKED AND BURNT OUT AS SHIT AND JUST WANTED TO THANK HIS HYUNG FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM BUT THEN BAM, all this shit is dumped on him and he HAS to get over it overnight and automatically be able to handle it like errr wtf??
moreover, most of the shit was poked right at his insecurities. how would ya’ll like it if i befriended you for years and made you gain romantic feelings and then proceed to poke at your insecurities and make fun at you? not good id think.
people just can be that naive and kind. hes hardworking and honest - which is already pretty rare tbh.
man if i was him id be bitching abt it for months and crying my ass to sleep and wallowing in self pity for the next 3 weeks…
i really like how mc is written out, i relate to him a lot tbh. i hope they have a happy ending. <3
i get your first reaction is to be super harsh on dojun but his reaction is so realistic? he used to not only admire and respect minwoo but like him romantically, putting him on a pedestal. minwoo was also helping him during his hardest/lowest moments and offering unconditional support for years. after saying extremely fucked up things to dojun suddenly, i find it strange his kindness and low self-esteem is being hugely targeted when he has a complex relationship with his own self worth and isn’t able to fully accept the person he once loved embodies that shitty interaction. it’s literally only been a few hours since it happened guys not months or years… he hasn’t even processed the situation and is also currently going through a fever after his panic attack episode too like ??
idk how easily you guys say he’s still in love when he made it so clear he didn’t. so out of respect for his current relationship, he ended the friendship out of goodwill while paying back minwoo monetarily. he doesn’t hate him because he was still the person who kept him afloat all these years, but that doesn’t mean he has any feelings either
