I mean it not actual grooming if he's mentally older and the entire story ml is the passive one
i am 21 and if a 38 year old dated me i would feel so grossed out
Everyone have their choices and preferences . The way it is I feel its Hangyeol who persuade ML
Exactly agree with you, that's what I meant when I said ml is passive, hagyeol is the one who is pushing this relationship.
I may not be comfortable seeing this irl but in the name of fiction I don't mind.
And if this age gap is gross then then 100+yo immortal and any mortal age gap is gross too. Also the reincarnation ones where the MCs are mentally older in the are gross either way if they go for someone their mental age or physical age.
At the end of the day the opinion is subjective I'm not saying you have to agree with me but this is just what I feel.
But this is not grooming lol that's what I'm sure of.
Tho with Hagyeol brother we can say it's more of manipulation and such.
Yes this
21 and 38 is already bad enough but 11 and 28 is SO WEIRD PLSSSS
THE STORY IS SO GOOD BUT THE AGE GAP IS ACTUAL GROOMING/PEDO
