Ch 87 Raw Satisfaction

Nok in winter outfits is the cutest thing! His little boots! Cuteness overload lol I love how he's getting more confident and even Jaeshin seems to follow along. I hope they get the informations they're looking for out of that criminal. Also do you know why his half-brother looked so terrified? oO

Yes the boots :D And in winter even Jaeshin wears some shoes;)

Cuteness<3 but he was the adult in this chapter ;3 Jaeshin: if not for the reverse curse I'd have killed him on the spot (poor Agwi/Kang) But Nok? "I think I can understand him(...) he was small child at that time too". It seems Nok by nature can empathise with others or at least always try to. He immediately noticed frightened daegun (half-brother's title) and acts accordingly.

As for why was he so scared? I guess he's always in such state... Every time we see him he gets frightened after meeting bitch-queen. So maybe he just came out of her den?
Another thing comes to my mind: we just have learned his "role". The bitch-queen has made him human-talisman to ward evil off, maybe he sees all those ghost's or even gets haunted by them as Nok was?

Ha Seo-eung first mentioned was in ch 29 - I just thought of checking that moment at the tavern and bingo :D
So he's "from the family of the royal secretary's in-laws" (bitch-queen's brother) and he distributed letters/posters which slandered the crown prince to young boys.

Thanks for the informations. I really thought the bitch queen loved her son in S1. We've seen her genuinely taking care of him when he was sick and weak. In this season, her full evil nature is exposed. It's terrible if she uses her own son as a talisman. That poor kid looks on the verge of dying every time we see him. I am sure Nok will save him as you said above :)) And yeah, Nok's leadership attributes are a delight to watch. Jaeshin must be secretly proud hihi

YW :)
Btw have you seen Desire/Lust has an official translation? I was so late to notice itXD

Nope I haven't! I am gonna check it out. The art is gorgeous but the storyline is not really my cup of tea ://

I get what you mean. For most of the time I wasn't sure what it is about^^'' We just got too few details, of the plot ofc ;D Summary from Moonflowergem was very helpful though, and after rereading a few times I kinda sorted it out. It's dark and twisted, nothing one would read comfortably.

waaah I finally got to read the new chapter. guys guys I feel like it's a foreshadowing that nok will finally find out about how he can see ghosts cause of jaeshin. atleast in a few chapters im guessing ?? do we know exactly when the bitch got possessed cause I've been thinking that if it has been since she was a child , then that would explain her derange behavior since then. or maybe she was always evil so the ghost latched onto her.

and about nok in winter clothes. DO you guys remember the scene where they encounter the burnt face man and there's a full length panel of nok. he was looking so pocket sized . my cutieee >_<

does it give more clarity on the story than the other translation? ig I'll read it then someday when I'll have the mental stability to handle that story again. it gets overwhelming reading it all at once

I missed you yesterday, Daisy<3
My wild mind even thought that the great evil somehow brought Nok to the afterworld, as it wants Nok's soul. About Jaeshin's involvement I feel like only Jaeshin can tell him, and he won't. Even if Nok will learn about it, he won't care that much. However imo it's more dangerous for him to know WHY Jaeshin approached him, that he deliberately wanted to win his heart. I kinda wait for this moment, to be honest.
Recently I was mulling over the bitch's situation. What are her own actions and what are the evil's, because, esp when she's mad, the evil seems to speak through her. We don't know much, just that she was able to see ghosts from very young age. And actually now we know she was gathering hmm soul's she could use later? Did she just find it "fun", or was it that great evil which egged her? The exact moment of their encounter is unknown. For sure she could see evil spirits and they lingered around her from when she was a child - 8 ep, Yeom's story.

The one with a bigger silhouette? Pocket sized - well said <3 Maybe it's the winter hat which increases cuteness? :3 *trying to imagine Jaeshin wearing it...*

Hmm if you read Moonflowergem translation and their summary at the end I don't think the official one clarifies more. It's just every time I read it I notice smth else. Like with The Little Prince? ;D Not my fav but I often heard/read ppl saying how they love the book and every time they read it they discover various things.
-> I guess every sane person would be left speechless after seeing my comparision ;D
I regret we weren't given many details in the story and that Jeongyeom looks like a brainless underdeveloped meathead ︶︿︶

i CANNOT bear to think of the day when nok will find out about jaeshin's initial plan. I don't think I'll be able to handle anymore angst in regards to their relationship. hopefully they'd communicate well when the time comes.

(my another nightmare atm is the feeling i get about us approaching a potential season finale in a few weeks)
also ive thought about it too. as if , the grim reapers (hopefully thats who they are) really did mistakenly took nok or was there something else at play.
also although she's despicable, i cannot help but be in awe of how well the queen's character has been written at being a complete evil bitch. she's so fun to analyze like you'd feel there's so many layers to that character but also at the same time she could actually turn out to be just plain deranged without any explanation but it'd still make sense.

don't give me ideas but i hope we'll see more of them in winter clothing in the coming chaps. also id sacrifice whatever if it'd get us their modern au winter outfit looks from the artist or smth. it's def the hats !! and also the sleeves cover his hands entirely making him look like a fluffy bundle.

I haven't thought at all about Nok discovering Jeashin's plan to win a human heart! That will definitely upset him and it could be a reason for a short break between them. I still can't imagine Jaeshin taking his distance. He's way too obsessed and unreasonable to give some space to Nok. We'll see.

Daisy, I don't remember which chapter exactly but Jeashin told Nok that the bitch queen attracts the worst demons because she is cruel and evil in the first place. So she's not a victim by any mean I guess ://

Oh yeah the most I fear end of the season or end of the story ┗( T﹏T )┛

I think it's just there's no badly written character here. (*cough* don't mention that part where Nok went quite fast to loving his rapist *cough* and making it slower wouldn't be that helpful...)

Deedee, I think bitch-queen might tell this to Nok. However Jaeshin won't ever distance himself from him. Remember when he lately said "there's no use in hating me again", "even if you'll regret giving your heart to me, I'm yours"? So I believe even if Nok's hurt from knowing the truth and say "go away", Jaeshin will still linger in the vicinity.
I agree Chaehui is not a victim. However she still is getting used by that evil and at least some punishment awaits her.
