Well, DG is not just naive, he tries to stand up for himself too. So i'm ok with both of them '-'
I'm half way with you. I'm not ok with Alex personality and I find him overrated.
It's not only that he is a spoiled brat, he just doesn't have a kind bone in him and I don't think a good lover is just about dick.
On the other hand, DG represents the kind of partner that doesn't have self esteem and eat shit all throughout the story. They are always inferior because almost never they control the relationship. It's all about the jerk changing for the better ( and he only does it when he falls in love meaning he will always be a jerk because he would always treat people he doesn't love as trash).
Why can't one story be about a DG type who stand up for an Alex type and tell him he will not be treated as shit anymore? Being naive and being a doormat for a jerk are two different things.
Chanwoo on the other hand, I doubt he would settle for being treated like trash by a jerk like Alex.
When did DG ever stood up for himself? Every time he caved and bowed to Alex and let him do whatever he wanted even if it hurt or humiliated him.
DG standing up for himself:
DG ~ stuttering and timid~ : I wanted to do this....
Alex: ~ with his usual rude and arrogant way ~ No.
DG: ~ weakly ~ : okay.
Alex: uses DG as he pleases, treating him as his paid whore.
DG: ~ feels blessed that he is used like trash and shows up again ~
And that's the end of DG 'trying to stand up for himself'.
Fucking preach
I a, waiting for character development of DG more than Alex tbh ..
The one that needs to change is DG
+1
Agree.We can see Jiwon developing, and having flashbacks to his ex which give an insight into him, but Dong-gyun is still behaving like the typical "doormat" character. Dong-gyun was a fan, and he's still treating Jiwon as though he is this character "Alex" that he can project his fantasies onto. At least with MD and Chanwoo they are both open with their intent and on the same page.
Not to be vulgar, but why can't Dong-gyun be the one fucking Jiwon for a change ? It's odd this yaoi trope, where the "uke" character has to be completely submissive and unassertive .
Totally agree !!!
....am I the only soul here that is ok with Alex personality but can't stand DG??
I mean yeah, sure Alex is a spoiled brat but I find that more normall fit to the story than naive mild virgin type of uke that we have here.
Dunno.....
