Agree completely. I can't help make comparisons with this series to "Lover boy". Siwon and Jinha are around the same age Eunho is now (in the latest chapters), so after Eunho's major growth as a character, and maturing Whereas Siwon, especially comes off as still stuck being a kid with no development. The other series involved one sided childhood "crush", but there was a lot of backstory, context, and focus and communication when Eunho and the artist were adults to make the story feel believable and full of depth. Siwon doesn't accept being in a same sex relationship, just as the artist in Lover boy struggled with his sexual identity, but the latter was explained in a far more age appropriate (they aren't tweens or teens but men in their twenties and thirties ffs) and realistic way, with the right slow pace rather than this series which is extreme drama after another with little real emotion and communication.
I'm just going to ignore the whole bullshit magic stones and memory loss, as they were pointless contributions to what should have been quite a serious story about a man who has grown up, a victim of child abuse and who is trying to reconnect with his first friend, and explaining the unhealthy aspect of this just like it showed in Lover boy.
That was a bit of a ramble, but hopefully you get the jist of my point :)

I had read the first 20 months ago, and today i read the last 40 (appr).... I have to say i was utterly disappointed. I didn't care about the stone because ìt was part of the story from the beggining and the mangaka wanted to have a supernatural vibe in the manhwa, but the plot is all over the place. Some things don't even add up and it seems that there are huge plot holes, like black ones sucking up everything. I am sure that saiki's father from the disastrous life of saiki k. is the editor...(⊙…⊙ )
I agree with you on everything you said. but I feel it won't get better and I lost all of hope on this ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I"m reading this just to see how worse it can get.
Oh. My. God someone that gets my point!! Yes!
Your explanation is exactly what I was going for. The character arms, development stages, age range and growth. The fact that Siwon is a young twenty-something year man bothers me more. These men are way too old to be making these childlike decisions and/or reactions. I get it, his sexuality is a hard th ing to adjust to, but the immature tantrums or freak outs are completely uncalled for. He could handle his maturity better; the author could have had his character dig deeper into his true self and communicate to Jinha his feelings. Grow his character, but instead he makes the dumbest decisions EVER. Such as having drinks with the man that he knows wants to ruin his and Jinha's "relationship".
And with Jinha...let's face it. The author is obviously over his childhood trauma. It wasn't obviously traumatic and he never faced child abuse almost all his young childhood *sarcasm* we're suppose to assume he's all better now that his so called "best friend" is here.
Man this manhwa is making me stressed. I'm only reading it because I hate ending stories mid-way.
Same here honey I'm reading this because I hate unfinished stories （￣へ￣）
I 100% agree. The plot holes are tremendous, so I know for a fact they will only continue to increase. The stones are obviously fillers for convenience to the story for the creator. I always found them useless. When I began this story months ago I thought I had something worth my time. I would tell my sister (big manhwa fan too) about it and say she should try it out. Now I warn her to never start it. This story is an utter disaster and I will only see through because I don't like unfinished things. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
You know what is sad...I didn't even read this chapter. I seriously read the first page and then skipped to the last one and was not even remotely shocked to see him about to become the new Anastasia Steele in Xuan Run's Fifty Shades of Grey.
Is Jinha a character anymore? Where was the plot going before? What happened to Jinha's horrible father? His trauma from his mother's suicide and abuse? What about Simon's love to become a manhwa artist? His fear to be himself or standing up to his dad?
What happened to the fucking plot line in general? I mean God dammit ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
we got so close to seeing real character development with love, trust, and hardships only for this story to become a young fan girls kinky fantasy.
I wanted a story with new and creative character's, and with real depth; not this 2D bullshit. Which is utter bullshit. I see many on here that agree with me that no matter how much kink is in a story. It's just not worth this agony.
Also this story has definitely taken the turn for the worst if fan's are excited for the third wheel/supporting character that is "EVIL" might I say--to see him actually end up with our MC.
Yeah...so much for TRUE love or friendship #－.－)
