Wow. So many thoughts. So many things to say. Spoilers and long text ahead.
First, what came first, Limited Run or Jinx? Judging by the dates, I believe Limited Run. Holy. The author of Jinx must have been inspired by LR. The characters look very similar, down to their hairstyles, physicality, and personalities. Other similarities include Yeon Oh’s grey hoodie + blue jeans combo, Jaehyuk's name, the apartment + staircase setting, the grandma, the loan sharks, and the debt. Let me know if anyone knows anything about this that I don’t!
Okay, now that that’s off my chest, I do want to commend the author for such beautiful artwork. Both Yeon-Oh and Jaehyuk are insanely pretty in their own right. I love how proportionate the characters’ bodies are. It is very realistic artwork. I devoured the entirely of this manhwa in a few days. Thats how eager I was to read. I’m sucker for toxicity, so a manhwa shouldn’t piss me off when it gets toxic, but it did. I was not a fan of the graphic nature of the scenes between Loan Shark # 1 and Yeon-Oh. It was graphic to the very end, too. Hated that. Yeon-Oh deserved the very best and was disappointed by everyone at every turn up until the end. I wish he could have had a friend, a coworker, anyone, that he could have turned to for advice, care, friendship. He sorely needed it. Disappointed he had no third-party to rely on (because his family was shit). The end was extremely rushed. Jaehyuk needed to grovel WAY more, approximately as much as it took him to realize his feelings. That man could not utter an “I like you” in his first confession and it made me fume when I was expecting an “I love you”. Jaehyuk was only mildly redeemable simply because his affection for Yeon-Oh was implied through his actions (even though I second-guess this because he was scheming for that USB the entirety of their relationship).
Chapters 87 and 88 truly begins to redeem him. Not only because he looks FINE and so Yeon-Oh’s boyfriend material, but because I love it when semes grovel. And that man was on his knees. Exactly where he should be! I LOVED the subtle shift of power dynamics between them. It was very, very hot. Jaehyuk is on the path to deserving sweet, sweet Yeon-Oh. <3
